Trio of Thanks

I needed a few Thank you cards, but I didn't want them all to look the same.  Well, I guess they sort of do.... yet I made them all different colors, as well as different embossing on the top!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - Fabulous Four

Paper - Mellow Moss, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Whisper White

Ink - Mellow Moss, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon

I'm really lovin' the new In-color Blackberry Bliss!  So very elegant looking....especially when you add rhinestones! LOL!

I sort of CASEd this card....well, at least the layout.  Here was my inspiration (that I got from Pinterest):

I had wanted to use Rich Razzleberry, but noticed that when I stamped my sentiment on it.... you couldn't really see the sentiment.  So.... I changed up the cardstock and used Whisper White instead.

Express Hope

My cousin's daughter is making her First Holy Communion this May.  I was honored to create 'thank you' cards for her. She loves bright pink, so I wanted to include it into my design.
I created 30 cards, and sent them off with 32 envelopes in a cute box that I made myself! =)

Corset

I will be gaining a new sister-in-law in December, and as I am party of the wedding party... I will be a part of her bachlorette party!  I saw similar designs on pinterest in creating a corset card, so I decided to try my hand at creating one.  Boy, is it a lot of work!  Tying the ribbon and placing the lace edge gave me the most trouble, but I believe it was well worth the effort.... I think it turned out beautiful! Here's hoping my new sister-in-law will love it!

I used the scallop oval framelits to create the neckline and the leg openings.

Also, I used a past Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge for this card. You may view this past challenge here: http://www.papercraftcrew.com/2013/07/24/pcccs-51-card-sketch/

One Daydream

I wanted to create a special thank you card for a very special friend! This card was a joy to put together using the 'Million & One' Stamp set.  Doris Denman had used the other stamp in the set, and place a double outline around hers.  I liked that look a lot, so I placed one outline around this stamp set..... I really like how it turned out.  Thanks Doris!
