Hello Friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend 🙂 Today you will find lots of “Thank You” cards at the Penny Black blog. Each designer used one of Penny Black’s Christmas stamps to create their thank you card. I decided to make a set of cards to thank someone who invited us to a dinner party.
These cards were fun to make and I was able to finally let go ( not so easy to do ) of some of my vintage buttons that I purchased in Rhode Island. I packaged the set of cards up with these crystal clear envelopes here. Each card is tucked inside one of the crystal clear envelopes then I stacked them and made the band with ribbon etc.
I started out with some white card stock and stamped the flowers with Memento ink. You can color the the flowers with markers, pencils or chalks. I used Copic makers (B000, B00, B02, BG04) Distress the edges with a light hand using broken china and faded jeans. I cut two masks out of copy paper and stamped the script background in faded jeans.
Add a little walnut to the edges of the kraft paper. If you have a machine a bit of machine stitching looks nice….faux stitching would look good as well. Can you believe that I didn’t cut out anything??? Wow right??
What did you do this weekend? I coated over 80 pretzel rods with chocolate and sprinkles, crushed heath bars and a few other things. I’ll share them with you later. Have a great week! Hugs, Kathy

I love Ranger’s Distress Inks
giveaway – january card kit
so very pretty. Heading over to Penny Black blog now to check out the rest of the Thank You cards. I’m loving the sound of chocolate dipped pretzels….
Your card is adorable and looks awesome as set Kathy. Love the blue colourings. Looking at the card, I can see so much texture with the stitching and the script, yet I know it is just the one layer. Love that you only layered the bottom half of the card…. all in all spectacular
such a gorgeous set! Love the colours, so very stylish! Hugs Juls
Love your blue poinsettias! The script is the perfect background!
These are beautiful and lady, just the thought of us hanging out at CHA again… well, happy thoughts 🙂

How pretty! I’m so used to red poinsettias, but these are special!
how beautiful!! It’s appropriate to use poinsettia flowers, for thank you card in December 🙂 I tried to finish more christmas cards this weekend. I baked Blueberry banana bread also. I know, this isn’t anything to do with christmas but i have a big “house MOUSE” in the house, and i get the requests all the time, and it’s not seasonal.lol.But it’s really good. I might upload the pic. and the recipe very soon. I luv chocolate covered pretzels! I did the same last year but not this year. I probably made only half of what you made though! lol 🙂
This is such a beautiful gift idea! Those cards are so gorgeous, someone is going to be very lucky to receive them! I love the way you coloured these Kathy – soo pretty 🙂
