More Card Samples

To continue my post of card samples when I went to my moms, here are more cards I came up with.  Again, I just had a handful of things.  A pack of patterend paper, a cutter and a snail.  I put these items in front of me and this is what I came up with.  I was really happy with them.

Super easy card combining a couple of great sets

Are thank you cards always needed, but not always around? Make it a point to make your thank you cards easy to reproduce and you should have plenty of them.

Here is a great idea for you.

This card needs two stamp sets, Curly Label set and Botanical Blooms. The neat thing – the punch comes with the Curly Label stamp set and the Botanical Blooms set is FREE with Sale-a-bration. So many ways to get a lot of miles for your money.

Ingredients:

Stamp sets Curly Label, Botanical Blooms

Ink: Chocolate Chip, old olive

Cardstock: baja breeze, old olive, chocolate chip, very vanilla

Extras: scallop edge punch, stampin dimensional, vanilla ribbon.

Directions:

Cut your baja breeze cardstock to 11 x 4 ¼. Fold in half.

Use your scallop edge punch and punch off the front edge of the card.

Cut a strip of chocolate chip cardstock 4 ¼ x 2 ¼.

Cut a strip of old olive cardstock 4 ¼ 2 ½.

Adhere the ribbon to the chocolate chip and old olive cardstock. Adhere to card

Stamp the frame in chocolate chip add the flower in old olive on very vanilla cardstock.

Punch out using the curly label punch

Add to card using dimensionals.

Happy stamping!
