Thank You Cards

A few weeks ago Me, Sara and Joanne did a mini Blog Hop showing Card Candy made using some stamp sets which seem to get a little over looked (here is a link to the Hop).  Sara used Natures Nest, a stamp set I really couldnt see me using - thats until I saw her Card Candy!!!

Here is one of the cards I made last week to thank a couple of ladies for placing their orders with me.

I stamped the nest from Natures Nest and then the sentiment from Sense of Time in Chocolate Chip ink onto Naturals Ivory. I tore and distressed the edges of the ivory card, mounted it on to a mat of Chocolate Chip cardstock and then tore and distressed its edges too. 

2 jumbo eyeletts were attached before adding drops of Chrystal Effects onto the eggs then I left it to dry.



The card blank is River Rock (I love this colour!) and all I did was add a strip of distressed DSP from the Neutrals Stack then add the distressed and stamped nest image.

I didnt add a sentiment to the card or write on the inside as I thought they the ladies could use the card again (one of my efforts for recycling!).

The cards I made for my Stampers 10 ladies went down really well.  But I will have to post pictures of them later as trying to blog and watch a recording of the first round of the World Superbikes is a little difficult.,,

If you have the time, bob back later to see the cards I made for them.

Anyway, back to crafting.  I had a play with Natures Nest after Sara made her fab Card Candy recently.  You can see it here.

The tortoise was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink onto Naturals Ivory cardstock and the Happy Birthday stamp from Curly Cute aligned with the Stamp A Ma Jig before stamping in Chocolate Chip.  The shell of the tortoise was covered in Chrystal Effects and left to dry.  I dont know why the card underneath the chrystal effects has changed colour but I love the effect, it really stands out.

The sentiment stamp from Sense of Time was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink onto Naturals Ivory card and then both pieces were distressed, mounted onto layers of distressed Chocolate Chip card.

I disressed a thin strip of Sahara Sand Designer Series Paper, adhered it onto a C6 landscape Sahara Sand card blank and attached the tortoise and sentiment images. To finish off, a strip of linen thread and a button form the Designer Buttons (Neutrals) was secured to the card front.

The card is bit of a mixture of stamp sets, but they all work well together, thats just another great thing about the SU products!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend.
