Hi everyone,

Todays Thank You card is done three different ways.  Stampin’ Up! likes to cater to all levels of stampers.

  1. Simple stamping (which does not mean boring, just stamped without a lot of embellishments, tools etc.) has a crisp stamped look.
  2. Next is the Casual Stamper, that adds a bit, and then
  3. The Avid Stamper, the person who wants to just add more stuff!

 

 

 

 


I made this last one large so you could see the rhinestones.  They are kind of hard to see, but look around the wreath and in the “A” of thanks.  They are there and in real life, they look great!

Making the Cards:

First up is a 4-1/4 by  5-1/2 card with the wreath stamped in Mossy Meadow and Mossy Meadow braided linen ribbon in a simple bow.  In the center, I stamped “Give Thanks”.  The inside is blank so you can make this a thank you card or a Thanksgiving card

Next, for the casual stamper, I cut down the front layer to 4 by 5-1/4.  Same stamping and bow, but I added a very thin border ( 4-1/4 by 5-3/8) of Mossy Meadow and then put that on the card base.

For the Avid Stamper, I added some rhinestone basic gems which are all clear.  But did you know?  You can color them with our Stampin’ Blends for a permanent color!  I used Cherry Cobbler.

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave a comment below and let me know what you’d like to see.  Do you like fun folds?  Heat or cold embossing, lots of pieces or something simple.  I aim to please.  I used the following items, although not every one on all three cards.
