Here today with a card that is always useful to have in your stash – a thank you card.  I’ve used the newAvery Elle  Thanks Thanks stamp set which has a great selection of sentiments in a large scale which is perfect for the focal point of a card.

Those of you with an eagle eye will remember I used the Cloud Mat die on THIS card in the Winter release blog hop.  As I mentioned in that post, I saved the “negative” part of the patterned paper From the Create Magic Card Kit) and the positive part of the white card (the clouds) and have created a second, reversed card (two for the price of one)!

I pieced the clouds into the patterned paper and adhered them for the background of the card.  I cut a strip of vellum and stamped the second of the THANKS sentiments in versamark and embossed it in silver embossing powder.  I then stamped the “for your kindness” and embossed in New Moon pigment ink and embossed it in clear embossing powder.  I then wrapped the vellum strip around the front of the card and adhered it on the inside so there is no need to hide and adhesive on the front.

To finish I added a few enamel dots in silver sparkle  below the banner, I thought they looked a wee bit like rain drops!!

Hey there!  I’m on the Avery Elle blog today sharing a cute little Christmas project using the new Party Tag die collection.  Paired with the new Hooray stamp set these dies are super handy for quickly creating the perfect tag for any any gift or occasion.

I took an inexpensive plain gift bag and stamped the poinsettia image from the Holiday Bouquet stamp set and coloured it with Copics.  Next I die cut the largest of the tag dies from patterned paper from the Holiday Paper Pack and again in white.

To finish I used Cherry Pigment ink and stamped the Merry sentiment onto the white tag, layered it with the red dotty one and added it to my gift bag.
