Fall Card for Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #32

 

Hello all! It’s Tuesday and that means it is time for another challenge from Celebrate the Occasion.

 

For this week’s card, I went Cricut-less! I think I mentioned it, but I have really been getting into stamping a lot more and I’m excited to see what all I can come up with. Never fear though, because I will still be using my machines! I made a video discussing the card and I want to apologize now because it is kind of shaky. I’m sorry! I’ve found the tripod I want so that will be over soon.

I stamped the inside using Early Espresso and VersaMark Dazzle with clear embossing powder.

The awesome twill ribbon is from Stampin’ Up! The wonderful Norma from PinkBlingCrafter sent me some. It’s in the clearance section for $3.49. Visit Norma’s site to order some!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed day.

Thank You Card

 

I decided a while back that I was going to work on building a stash of cards, and naturally, I’m starting with thank you cards.

I used Straight From the Nest to cut the out the flower, and I think the top note came from Storybook. This is one of the few times I didn’t write down the details in my notebook. The cut, is Flower 3, and it’s found on page 52. It’s cut at 3.25”. The flower reminds me of Floral’s Embellished a little. I don’t own it, but it’s on my list now.

Same design, I just used navy ribbon and green cardstock.

The patterned paper came from a My Mind’s Eye stack I got from HL. And the cardstock is DCWV and Paper Company.  I inked around all of the pieces with Close to Cocoa ink from Stampin’ Up. And I stamped the sentiment with the same ink. I’m a bit of a bow fanatic, and I’m addicted to grosgrain ribbon. A lot of people say that they can’t tie bows, and if I could give any advice, it would be to buy a stiffer ribbon. I personally think that helps. I finished them off with a piece of pink on the inside. I left them blank for note or another sentiment.

Thanks for coming by. Have a blessed day!
