Labels Collection Framelits – Thank You Card

Labels Collection Framelits!  They worked great for my card share today.  I decided to make a mini card that truly spotlights the Labels Collection Framelits.  This card is 4-3/4″ x 3-3/4″, and I think it is so cute.   The stitching in the ribbon goes so well with the selected designs from the designer series paper!

Labels Collection Framelits - Thank You

The card is a great one to make multiples of to give to people who deserve a special “Thank You” for a service he/she provided to you (e.g., a waitress, nurse, bank teller, etc.).  It’s small, fitting into the palm of your hand, and multiples would easily fit inside a small purse so they would be handy when needed.  

Here is a closeup of the card’s center which features the new Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Punch.

Window Frames Collection Framelits

Yesterday I shared with you the Window Frames Collection Framelits in the upcoming 2012 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.  Today I’m sharing a sneak peek of a sentiment stamp image (see below) and the card I made using the Window Frames Collection Framelits and the beautiful International Bazaar DSP(126920).  The DSP is from the new Annual Catalog that was released in June.

The sentiment, Thanks a Bunch, is the sneak peek!  It is in the upcoming catalog and is part of a four-stamp stamp set, Friendship Preserves.  The stamp set matches the Window Frames Collection Framelits!  You can get these two items as a bundle, which means you’ll save 15% on the cost of buying them individually.  This is a new feature from Stampin’ Up! in the Holiday Catalog.  Isn’t that great!!  This picture is a closeup of the sentiment.

 
Enjoy!

Stampin’ Up! Sweetheart – Heartfelt Thanks

It is Friday and I am sharing my last feature of a Stampin’ Up! Greeting Card featuring doodling (or zentangling), for a while.  I hope you have enjoyed this week’s projects.  I have enjoyed zentangling the greeting cards.  Today’s card share is a “heartfelt thanks” to you for supporting me this week with my art.  I greatly appreciate your emails and comments.

This card spotlights three stamp images from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetheart Stamp Set.  I’ve had this stamp set for some time, and today is the first time I’ve used it.  I really like the outcome.

Stampin' Up! Sweetheart - Heartfelt ThanksFor the card base, one stamp image, and sponging, I used one of my favorite colors in card stock and ink –  Cajun Craze.  I also used Basic Black, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White card stock (respectively) for the first, second, and third card layers.

Stampin’ Up! Blossom Petals Punch – Doodling

Today is my second feature of doodling a Stampin’ Up! Greeting Card – a Thank You cardThis card spotlights the Stampin’ Up! Blossom Petals Punch and the wonderful, new Stampin’ Up! color, Pool Party from the 2011-2013 In-Color Collection.

As you know, doodling is drawing shapes that have no real meaning and can be abstract in form.  Therefore, I cannot explain how I doodle.  But I will say, just let your pen take you where ever you feel it should go and draw shapes that you enjoy – diamonds, Xs, squares, flowers, petals, circles, rectangles, squiggly lines, straight lines, wavy lines, and so on.  I encourage you to try it.  It’s very relaxing, and I think it enhances Stampin’ Up! products.

Stampin' Up! Blossom Petals Punch - Doodling

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Basic Black Cardstock, the second layer is the beautiful Pool Party Cardstock, and the third layer is from My Digital Studio, 2011-2013 In-Color Playful Patterns.  Other Stampin’ Up! products used for this project are:

Elegant Thank You Stamp Set
5/8″ Whisper White Brad from the Neutrals Assortment
Basic Black Designer Button from the Neutrals Collection
Basic Black Brad from the Neutrals Collection

I think I like this card better than the one I shared on Monday.  What do you think?

Don’t forget to come back for the next doodling card this week.
