Thank You Cards Bundle

Hi Everyone! I made these thank you cards a while back. They were a requested order. I think they turned out pretty cute. I love small cards, as I have said many times before. These cards are all made by Stampin' Up! And they have coordinating envelopes for each that fit perfectly. They are all retired cards, so you can't order these particular ones anymore. But they still do have some currently in their catalog.

Here are the ones I made:

Stampin' Up!; Cricut, Baker's Twine, October Afternoon

Stampin' Up!

Stampin' Up, Cricut, May Arts, Target $1 Spot

Stampin' Up!; October Afternoon; My Mind's Eye; Cricut

These cards were all really simple and fun to make. My favorite turned out to be the button one. But I actually loved all of them.

I have Friday off this week, so 4 more working days, then 4 days off!!!

Birthday Present - Springtime Wreath and Birthday Card

I am pretty blessed. I love my daughter and husband with all my heart and I am so lucky to have them! I also get to work with some of my best friends! My friend Cori {she is also my boss!} had her birthday at the beginning of the month and I have been a slacker in giving her birthday present to her. I have been meaning to buy the tacky tape to hang up pictures to go along with her present, but have neglected to do so. But I am just going to give her her present tomorrow anyway. So here it is! I made her this little springtime wreath. It was pretty simple and total project time is only about an hour {probably less if I hadn't been watching Vampire Diaries at the same time!} All supplies but the circle cutter, Glue Dots and ribbon are Stampin' Up!

I used the circle cutter to cut out the wreath shaped circle. I first cut a 6" Circle and then cut a 5" circle inside of it. I saved the middle for another project and used the ring shape to be my wreath. Here is the one thing with this - Cardstock isn't the most durable material. So I would suggest to use chipboard or something more sturdy {i.e. foam} but it was what I had on hand at the time and I wasn't planning on it being too heavy anyway. If I would have added any more weight, I wouldn't have been able to use the cardstock.

Here are the list of supplies used:

• Stampin' Up! - Sweet Pea Designer Series Patterned Paper, Whisper White cardstock, Rhinestone Ice circle brads, Bigz XL Flower Folds die for Big Shot, Scallop Circle punch, Boho Blossoms punch
• EK Success - circle cutter
• Glue Dots - Craft and Pop Dots
• Target Dollar Spot - baby blue silk ribbon

Here are a few close ups. Sorry the lighting is so bad. I took the pictures this evening. I will try to take some in the morning to replace these ones.

Here is Cori's birthday card supplies:

• Stampin' Up! - Baha Blue and Whisper White cardstock, Chocolate Chip and Old Olive classic ink, Scallop Circle and 1" Circle punch, Scallop Trim border punch, Rhinestone brad
• American Crafts - Dear Lizzy and The Goods patterned paper, Dear Lizzy fabric paper, Greenhouse plastic flower
• Wilton - paper doilies
• Marcella by K - "to You" letter stickers
• Imaginisce - Center Kisses - gem flower
• Glue Dots - Pop Dots, Mini and Craft Glue Dots
• My Minds Eye - Lush Pink gem sticker
• My Stash - brown gingham ribbon

Here is a closeup of the card:

As I have said numerous times, I love American Crafts! And I love Dear Lizzie! I am sad that I am almost out of my stash of her paper! I am looking forward to her next line coming out this summer! I am sure I will end up stocking up on it too! I know I say this all the time, but this is one of my favorite cards! I love the paper doilies! Purchased from Walmart in the wedding section. I think I paid $2 for a small package of 20. And then I got the next size up and got the same amount in that package for $2 too.

Too make the flower, I cut the middle of the doily out and wrapped it behind the twisted fabric paper flower. I did 2 of these.

Can't get enough of the tiny banners showing up on everyone's projects! So I took the paper from Dear Lizzy and just cut a few of the triangles out leaving some of the white cardstock portion to keep the pieces together and in a line. Then I just used mini glue dots behind the triangles to hold them on the card. So simple and so fun at the same time!

Hope you guys like the projects!

P.S. I finally purchased Princess And The Frog for Peyton today. She has already watched it twice! Looks like it's going to be a tossup between that and Alice In Wonderland {the Disney animated version} everyday as to which one to watch!

P.S.S. I am obsessed with Glee! Hadn't watched it until 3 episodes ago and now it is my new favorite show! LOVE it!
