Stampin Celebration #8

Don't you just love Thursdays? Not only do I love the Stampin' Celebration challenges myself, I always love to see what all the Design Team members over at Stampin' Celebration create!

So for this week, I created a set of thank you cards. . . . can you tell I'm in desperate need of thank you cards? :-) I really liked the pink and green in that top right photo, so the first two colors I picked were Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz. Pear Pizzazz is one of the new In Colors coming in the new catalog. The third color I picked is Perfect Plum.

I used a simple layout, so I hoped that the flowers added a little something special. To make the flowers, I started by punching a 3/4" circle out of a window sheet. I carefully placed it in my new Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder (you'll see it in the new catalog!) and then ran it through the Big Shot. I used a single glue dot in the middle of the embossed flower to adhere it to the coordinating 3/4" circle of card stock.


For the center of the flower, I really wished I had some of the new Basic Pearls Jewels that are self-adhesive. I'll definitely have those on my first order from the new catalog! Since I don't have those yet, I improvised by using my Crop-A-Dile to punch the smallest circle. I carefully adhered the circle to the center of the flower with a small dot of Crystal Effects, and then put another thin layer of Crystal Effects on top of the circle.

Finished card size is 5" by 3 1/2". These are actually the pre-cut and scored Note Cards (item #107311) that come 20 to a package for $5.95 and include envelopes. Can't beat that!
