Thank You

Our very good friend surprised Abby with flowers and candy the other day.  Of course Abby was thrilled, and wanted to send a very special thank you note.  I decided to use the MOJO Monday sketch 387 and here’s what I came up with for my first attempt.  Tomorrow I’ll show you the second attempt and you can tell me which you like better.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Best Day Ever set which I got free during Sale-A-Bration.  I love the saying, “You made MY DAY,” because our friend really did Make Abby’s Day!  The Calypso Coral Pompom Trim made the card even more special!  I added hearts along the bottom of the envelope.  When the card arrives, do you think they will open the bills first or the envelope with hearts across it?   I know which one I would open first.

Here’s the happy inside of the card.  I left room in the middle for Abby to write a note.

 

I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator since 2003.  It truly brings me joy to make a card and send it to someone who I think will feel joy receiving it!

This simple thank you card was CASED from Susan Itell’s Simple Stampin Feb. 14 post.  Tonight we were invited to fun pizza gathering.  Thirty minutes before it was time to leave, I had the brilliant idea to make some cards as a hostess gift.  What could I make in 30 minutes?  Then I remembered Susan’s post from yesterday, and knew I had the answer.  The only problem was, I don’t own the set she used to make the flower and leaves.  The great thing is you can CASE a card, and just use what you have.  I love the Stampin’ Up! single stamp Watercolor Thank You.  Every stamper needs this stamp.

I made five of these cards and five lined envelopes.

 

Here they are packaged up and ready to go!  If you own stamping supplies, take a few minutes and make a thoughtful homemade gift.  I’m sure our hostess tonight really appreciated them.

I LOVE the Lotus Blossom Stamp Set!  I tend to buy flower sets and this is the best flower set ever!  It’s essentially a three step flower and a free SAB item.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used Basic Gray for the first step of the flower.  Bermuda Bay was used for the second step, and Bermuda Bay stamped off once, was used for step three.  I made my card Note Card size    (5 x 3 1/2).  Don’t limit yourself to only Whisper White and Crumb Cake Note Cards.  The white piece is cut with the third smallest Oval Framelit.  The Bermuda Bay ring is cut using the fourth and fifth smallest Oval Framelits.

I made the envelope with the Envelope Punch Board and used Confetti Celebration DSP on the flap.  Who doesn’t love a matching envelope?

I’m sending this card to a dear friend, who made my family a delicious dinner while I was out of town last week.  Thanks Janene!
