Thank You Card Using Crazy About You Stamp Set & Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP by Stampin’ Up!

~ Anna Krol ~ Leave a comment

My card today uses Crazy About You stamp set and one of the Sale-A-Bration free items: Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love the fresh look of this card as I really wanted to create card that is fresh and spring-ish, while not compromise on my beloved layers 🙂

thanks you

For the background I created a border with Scallop Edge Border punch and piece of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock. Then I randomly stamped leaves from Crazy About You. I chose Pear Pizzazz for that as it’s such a lush yet soft green.

Above that border I added a piece of vellum. Vellum is quite tricky to attach as you always can see the adhesive trough. So I added few sequin to hide glue dots 🙂

My little banner is created using a piece of Irresistibly Yours specialty paper. I spritz it with water and added Crisp Cantaloupe ink. This paper is so much more than just a paper. Glossy designs look great alone but they also resist ink. You can try it with spritzers, brayers, sponges, watercolour techniques and more. You can make it bold or subtle as you wish. This paper is a must-have for your paper stash. Check the video HERE

Now, for the sentiment I cut “you” using Hello You thinlits and adhere it on the border. I stamped “thanks” just above that “you” and “so much” a little below. For a final touch I also made coordinating envelope. Isn’t it springy, fresh-looking card? I love it!

Hope you like this project and as always thank you for stopping by

Thank You Cards with Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set Lotus Blossom

~ Anna Krol ~ 3 Comments

Today I’ve got some cool 4×4″ cards to share with you. These are Thank You cards I made for my customers and they showcasing Lotus Blossom – one of the stamp sets you can choose as your freebie during Sale-a-Bration.

Isn’t it gorgeous?! I’m in love with this set! It’s a 3 part stamp (3 step stamping) but all you really need for the flower is just ONE ink pad! Really! So all yesterday evening I’ve been playing with different colours to get different looks. I have to admit that lighter colours work best

lotus blossom 5 Hello Honey

lotus blossom 6 Crisp Cantaloupe

But with stamping off technique you can use the richer colours too

lotus blossom 2 Lost Lagoon

lotus blossom 4 Coastal Cabana

Or even you can mix colours like in this one

I stamped first and second part in Strawberry Slush ( second part I stamped off once) and third is stamped in Blushing Bride. All stems are stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive. To finish off the cards I stamped thank you (comes with set) with black Memento ink pad. Then I die cut film photo frames, attached them with liquid glue. Easy, and I really like how they turned out. Hope my customers will like them too 🙂
