Thank You Cards

I wanted to give my friend some unique gifts at her baby shower this Saturday. One of the gifts I made her was hand made thank you cards. What new mom can't use thank you cards to hand out for all the wonderful goodies that she will receive for the baby?

I used Fiskars Baby Clear Stamps (pictured below) as the image and sentiment on my cards.

In order to achieve the soft lacy look at the bottom of the card, I used the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Border Punch. (pictured below)
I wanted to keep the thank you cards simple. As you can see below I used just 3 colors. Pink, white and black. Here is my finished card.

I made 10 and stacked them (with the envelopes) together and wrapped a pink ribbon around them. I wanted to create unique gifts for her, instead of the traditional baby clothes and diapers that people usually give. Of course I couldn't pass up a cute outfit to give her. So so far I have an outfit, the thank you cards pictured above and the photo frame pictured here. I really hope she likes them. And now I'm off to see what else I can create for her.

Tinkerbell Card

I combined 2 challenges to make this card. I used this sketch from the Papertake Weekly Challenge. (Sketch #23)
For the Flutter By Wednesday challenge on Danni's Dreams the challenge was to create a card using the color pink and to use either a butterfly or a fairy as the image. So I decided to use a stamp that I had gotten a while ago but I had never used, Tinkerbell. I added cotton candy pink stickles to give a sparkly effect to the card.

Thanksgiving Card

I made this Thanksgiving card for two challenges. I used this sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges.

And I got my color scheme from Die Cut Dreams Challenge Blog which was chocolate & orange.

Here's the card I came up with:

The stamp that I used is a Studio G Series 36 stamp. I colored it in with Leplume Markers.

A 3 Challenge Card

I made this card to enter into 3 challenges. I used the sketch on Whimsical Wednesdays: The Diedrich Dare.

My color scheme was from the Cupcake Craft Challenge. The challenge this week was to do a card using the color scheme red, white & blue. Finally for the theme of my card I chose to use this weeks challenge of "something for the boys" from All Sorts Challenge Blog.

Here's my card:
