Scene thanks

This is another of the cards I sent my friend. I would consider this also a Sunday Tip or Technique as I created a scene with ink and sponges :0) The idea was from Nancy Ferb. I used a set by Two Paper Divas, God's Creations, the grass. The message is Heartfelt Creations, the clouds were done with template and sponge, I also used sponges to add more color on the ground. The bird was done with the two-step punch by SU, added some color on the belly and a pearl

Butterfly corner

One of my girlfriends joined a local group and they were doing a fundraising for their group so she asked if I had some cards for the cause so I sent her about 30 cards.

This is one of the designs the butterfly is a die by Memory Box, the thanks is a die by Little B

While making these cards I made some for my personal use using a different die, the hello is also Memory Box

Hello Sunshine Paper Pumpkin

This is the last card design included in the donation box, long with some recycled cards it contained about 158 cards. For these cards I used February 2016 hello sunshine paper pumpkin kit.

For this card I just added the message by My Creative Time and pearls from stash 

For this one I used the thank you embossing folder by Cuttlebug, the message was from the kit

For this one I use Hello Thinlits die by SU

for this one I used rhinestones from stash and the words are part of a set by Winnie & Walter and used pokey thingy to add a border/frame

This were not part of the donation card but came from the negative part of the kit. This first card used the same thanks embossing folder by Cuttlebug

Shoebox Thursday

I hosted our meeting this week and for my shoebox project, I decided to use the idea by Jennifer McGuire of split card.

You stamp two front panels exactly the same (the MISTI works great for this) then you cut them in two and you split the halves to make two whole opposite panels. On my card, I used birthday blooms stamp set by SU stamped with ground espresso, hugs needed stamp set & thanks to you stamp set by Pink & Main also stamped with ground espresso. You end up with two cards the same but different :0)

Layers of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin

Last year the February paper pumpkin was one of those kits I didn't care for but at the time I wanted to make a special card for a lady that had been my SU demonstrator here so used that kit other than that I had not done anything until now :0)

I looked on my black and white pattern papers and then used the negative part of the kit to make my cards. These cards were to fit a business envelope...the ones you get with bills

and this is what I did with the positive part, these cards were to fix an A7 envelope I believe

I don't care much for felt but I had it and if I didn't make something with it would have stayed in my stash forever and ever this way at least they'll be use for a good cause :0)

Elegant black & white

I think I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest but couldn't find again when I want back to check so either I dreamt it or something LOL anyway I used a die by Heartfelt Creations/Spellbinders, pearls from stash.

The thank you is one of those unknown stamps I own :0)

while working on the thank you cards decided to make some extra cards for my personal use so picked a different message a stamp by VIP 

Butterfly thanks

For this card I used the idea by Myrna Sweet. I checked my background papers and picked the ones that the pattern was more busy but enough different colors I guess. I cut my butterfly which is SU die, then stamped my message which is a stamp by Stampendous then I embossed my piece of cardstock with the bubble wrapping texture fade by Tim Holtz then glued all of that to my background piece that was already glued to my card base
