Special Reason Thank You Cards


If you've placed or are going to place an order from me this month, this is the thank you card you will be receiving.



First the color pallet. You can see I used several colors. Really I just couldn't decide. I'm a girl, isn't that what girls do? LOL!
 I stamped three of each color in two different size flowers. Why three? I have no idea.....my granddaughter Gianna was here and asked me if she could help. Why yes, would you like to cut all these flowers for me? Yes! Woohoo! Gianna did a FABULOUS job die cutting. She also cut some Valentine stuff for me. I've recently signed her up for Paper Pumpkin. Gianna loves getting a new kit every month. She loves to craft with me and is only 10 years old. Eight more years and I can sign her up!



This die has the ability to die cut the inside of the flower, but also the outside. I love using both. This is the large flower. So I did all kinds of combos. Some are horizontal, others portrait. All the basic design.


 These two I die cut 2 smaller flowers and only added one solid to each card.
This one I used just the stem and leaves. I forgot to add the splattering of Gold Wink of Stella and the sentiment. But you get the idea.

Here's a quick tutorial on how I got the color behind the open flower and did the sentiment.


Its easier to add your Clear Wink of Stella to the sponged area BEFORE you put the front piece on. I forgot on every single one......but you can still add it after. I "winked" all the flowers with the Clear Wink of Stella, added some of the Gold Splattering it and a few Rhinestones. Boom! Done!  This is one of my absolute favs in the Occasions catalog.

  1. These are super creative. My bundle is on the way. I can't wait to play. My grandson likes to cut things out for me with the Big Shot but since he is only five we will have to see if he is able to line up the flowers.
