Thank You!

Below is the card that I sent as a "thank you" to demonstrators who I exchanged gifts with at convention.  It is a new version of an old card.  The previous card I made featured Island Indigo, Pool Party, and the Medallion stamp that is now retired.  This card features Raspberry Ripple, Pretty in Pink and the Hello Doily stamp.

It is quite easy to get the two-toned image.  I inked my stamp all over with Pretty in Pink and then daubed Raspberry Ripple on the edges and around the center.

"Make and Take" Card Class

Okay...so I had to put quotation marks around Make and Take for the title of this blog because we didn't actually make all of the Make and Takes from convention.  They weren't all my style, so I was a little creative!

The four cards below were the Make and Takes we made on the first day of convention.  They are 3" x 3" note cards.  Last night, we made the first card.  I modified the flowers on the second and third cards, and the last card was modified to make it easier to stamp.  All of these cards were created using the Daydream Medallions stamp set.

 

The second card we made was my creation.  I wanted to use the flowers from the Make and Takes.  The top layer of the large flowers were stamped with a stamp from Daydream Medallion and then cut using the smallest flower from the Floral Frames Framelits.  The stem and leaves were stamped with a stamp from the Raining Flowers stamp set.  The little flower was created with the medium flower from the Boho Blossom punch. The saying is from Sassy Salutations.

Our last card, my absolute favorite, was a modified CASE from Dawn Olchefske.  Isn't it amazing?  It uses the triple stamping technique.  The background and flower stamp are from Creative Elements.  The background was stamped with Crumb Cake and the flower was stamped with Early Espresso.  Below are the measurements for the card stock.
