A LITTLE THANKS GOES A LONG WAY


Hi stampers!! Today I want to share a thank you card I made in bulk to send to send out for Christmas thanks. I strongly believe that a little thanks goes a long way, I know it does with me!  It does not take long to take the time to thank someone for a small kindness or words of comfort, or a special gift. So, that is what I spend the afternoon doing yesterday. The morning yesterday was filled with lots of errands, and was a super busy day! I hope to get much more accomplished today though!!!  So, on to the card! I kept it fairly simple since I made several of them, and I was able to use just one sheet of Designer Series paper which is actually from the Modern Medley paper pack.  The card base itself is Very Vanilla card stock,  which is what I stamped the image on as well. Isn't the stamp pretty? I love  the vintage swirls and the classy look of this one. It comes from the From My Heart stamp set and I used Stawberry Slush Classic ink to stamp it with. . I like saying that - it reminds me of summer and since it is a balmy 24 degrees (yes, in Florida!!) I need those feelings right now LOL! I sponged the same color on the edges of the cardstock then I popped the whole piece up with dimensionals on Basic Black card stock, which is then popped up again on the dotted paper. I think if I ever run out of dimensionals I will be in BIG trouble, I used them on everything!!! It is hard to tell from the picture but this card has a ton of dimension, which I love. The ribbon is Strawberry Slush ruffled ribbon, which I love, love, love! I can't believe it's the first time I have used it, but  it won't be the last, I promise you lol! I could not resist adding little embellies on the bottom so I added cute adornmnets in the shape of flowers! Aren't they adorable?? Okay, they are to me, hehehehe!! Simple but I think it turned out pretty and I will be sending them off in the mail today. If you liked any of the products I used on this card,  you can find them in my online store. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me an email, I promise I will get back to you. Okay, off to stamp some more, then brave the cold weather, brrrrrr........stay warm, and get inky, that should be everyone's plan today!!!
