Hi, everyone, I’m back again today with another thank you card. This one might take a little longer than yesterday’s, but not much.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then popped up a Grout Gray card stock panel on which I stamped the chevron image from Desert Bouquet with Grout Gray ink. Next, on a piece of Sweet Tooth card stock, I stamped up some patterned paper using the flowers and foliage from Desert Bouquet and these inks: Peach Bellini dye ink, Persimmon dye ink, Tropical Teal dye ink, Limelight dye ink, Blueberry dye ink, Wild Wisteria dye ink, and Lemon Drop dye ink. Then I cut it out with a die from Many Thanks Die-namics and popped it up on foam. I finished off with some sweet little Raindrop embellishments that was in my Christmas gift from my bestie, Tammy Hershberger.

On the inside, I added a couple of layers: Tropical Teal card stock and Sweet Tooth card stock, cut with Blueprints 20 Die-namics, Blueprints 21 Die-namics, and stamped with a sentiment from LJD Grand Greetings in Black Licorice dye ink.

And there you have it! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!

Happy Day After Christmas! Or Boxing Day, or whatever it is to you! Now that Christmas Day is over, it’s time to think about thank you cards. I’ve got several to show you over the next few days—all are quick and easy to make.

Today’s card starts with a Sweet Tooth card stock
base, on which I stamped the “string” image from LJD Whimsical Wishes with Black Licorice hybrid ink. On another piece of Sweet Tooth card stock I stamped one of the smaller scribbles from LJD Whimsical Wishes seven times with Black Licorice hybrid ink. Then, with a water brush and Wild Cherry dye ink, Persimmon dye ink, Lemon Drop dye ink, Limelight dye ink, Tropical Teal dye ink, Blueberry dye ink, and Wild Wisteria dye ink I “water colored” the scribbles. Next I stamped the sentiment, from LJD Sea Life, with Black Licorice hybrid ink and finished off with some black enamel dots.

Tip: since these were small images Sweet Tooth card stock worked fine—if I was going to do larger areas of water color I’d use water color paper.
On the inside, I added Black Licorice card stock and Sweet Tooth card stock layers, cut with Blueprints 20 Die-namics and Blueprints 21 Die-namics, stamped with sentiments from Thankful Thoughts.

And that’s it! Easy peasy and sure to please-y! I know, GROAN, LOL!! Thanks so much for stopping by—see you again soon!

Hi, everyone, and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you all! Today MFT is sharing cards created for this day on the MFT Blog and I’m going to tell you a little about mine.

I started with a Grout Gray card stock base and added a layer of Sweet Tooth card stock on which I stenciled embossing paste through Small Brick Wall stencil. After that dried, I placed the stencil over the embossed bricks and sponged on some Wild Cherry dye ink, then popped it up on foam. I created a wreath, using Winter Wreath Die-namics and Gumdrop Green card stock, Jellybean Green card stock, and Sour Apple card stock and “hung” it on the wall. The bow was cut from red glitter paper and popped up on foam, and red flat back pearls were used for the berries. I stamped the sentiment, from DC Ornament Banner Builder on Black Licorice card stock with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder, then popped it up on foam, as well.

Another sentiment from DC Ornament Banner Builder was stamped on the inside with Wild Cherry dye ink.

And that’s what I have for you today! Wishing everyone the Merriest Christmas and the Happiest Holidays! Thanks so much for stopping by—see you again soon!
