Thank You Cards

I promised myself that I would post at least one card to my blog before the end of the day.  It's getting late, but here it is!  This is an A2 sized Thank You card that I made as part of a selection of cards to have on hand for my daughter, Lisa.  The color of the blue is prettier with the soft suede in real life -- more blue/green in tone.  Just couldn't capture it with the camera.  Oh well.

Cardstock: Stampin Up Natural White, Soft Suede, Island Indigo
Ink: SU Soft Suede
Stamps: SU Perfectly Penned
Die Machine: SpellBinder Labels#11, SB Fancy Tags, Dot emboss folder
Other: SU large pearls

   Below is another A2 sized Thank You card for Lisa.  This time I made 10 of them for her to have on hand to use for follow up after interviews this Fall.  This one is a 'case' from a class held by my SU upline.  Thanks, Stacie!   I changed it a bit with a light base layer added, and some shape changes by using an SU retired ticket corner punch and also a Spellbinder Label die. The flower's blue color is made using a sponge dauber lightly pressed in center, then lightly sponged to the edges.  For those of you who are new to stamping/cardmaking the word 'case' used above means 'copy and share everything'.  Someone came up with the term to describe when you like someone's card so much you've just got to make one yourself!

 Cardstock:  SU Natural White, Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, Island Indigo
 Ink: SU Basic Black, Island Indigo
Stamps: SU Faith in Nature, SU Day of Gratitude
Die Machine: SB Labels#8,  SU Square Lattice emboss folder  
Other: SU pearl, mini brads, SU 5/8" organza ribbon, SU sponge dauber, SU ticket corner punch

That's it for now.  I managed to figure out how to upload my first pictures, so future posts should be a bit easier to do.  Another hurdle crossed.  LOL  Thanks for looking!
