Thank You Cards 110414

Thank you! I love making thank you cards. I know I just did a post about thank you cards but there just so many ways to express gratitude and why not, right? I'm also using this blog post to participate in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday's blog challenge. This week it's anything goes, so all four cards meet the challenge.


This first one is a little more on the graphic side. I had this circle colored swirls for a while waiting. I had punched them out of some packaging and thought they would be fun to use on a card and this is what came out.


This one is a Z fold card with a flip it. I used my spell binder dies to cut the two white pieces of card stock. I partially cut my card base and used an embossing folder to give it some texture. I'm holding it closed with my tweezers. 


This one is one of my favorite cards. I stamped the shapes to create the colorful banner. I used washi tape to create the edges. I stamped the thank you sentiment and colored it with my alcohol markers. And my very favorite was the flower that I made with air dry modeling paste and a modpudge silicone mold. I colored it with my alcohol markers. 


This last card I used many thank you stamps to create the background in black ink. I stamped the focal thank you and filled it with glossy accents. Once it dried it resisted the distressed ink I put on top. Finally I traced a dragon (from my dragon boat team shirt) on to some velum and cut it out and glued it to the card to give to our coach. 

Once again I hope you enjoyed.
