In general, I like very simple things. I wear very simple jewelry and clothes, drive a simple yet practical car, prepare very simple meals for my family – you get the gist. So, often, my cards are quite simple and I gravitate toward simple designs. That’s also partly because I can be a bit lazy, too
. This Thank You card is a perfect example of that:
Of course I used my favorite tool – my Big Shot – and the perfect polka dots embossing folder (117335). These folders are so awesome because they are rather inexpensive at just $7.95 each, but make such an impact on a project. And you can emboss selective areas – did you notice how I left a blank section for my stamped greeting and flower embellishments? If you’d like to learn how to do that, please just contact me to set up a workshop!
The stamp is from Thank You Kindly (111700) which is my go-to set for “thank you” sentiments these days and I stamped it in Pear Pizzazz (119784) classic ink on Whisper White card stock (100730). The punched flowers are from retired card stock and punch, but you could use whatever color appeals to you along with flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch (119858) or Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309). You could also use our adorable flower buttons in the Designer Buttons packs found on page 197 of the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog. Or maybe you have some prima flowers or other embellishments you’ve been meaning to use? The power of three rules here – just add three embellishments of your choosing.
I hope you are enjoying my project samples. I certainly enjoying creating and showing them to you! Would you like to see something in particular? If so, just leave me a comment with your request and I’ll see what I can whip up for you!
