In-Colour Customer Thank You Cards

Thought I'd share with you some colourful customer Thank You note cards I am sending out to those who shopped with me in April. 

For these card I have used a smaller circle stamp from the Bubble Over Stamp Set (145868), along with the sentiment and the 2017-2019 In-colours.
Creating a fun heat embossed background not only gives your card texture and shine, but that brilliant white embossing powder looks fab on almost any colour! Much nicer look than say white ink on coloured card. If you wanted something a little quicker or you do not have the tools for heat embossing, try replacing the embossed card stock with Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper (144131). The look will be similar just minus the texture!

You could say the theme of this card is circles and swirls. I love using the Layering Circle Framelits with the Label Me Pretty Stamp Set and punch. You could say they were made for each other! (That sentiment embellishment would make a cool name badge, just add a safety pin to the back!). Even the cornered edges ties in, which I must admit I rarely use for the base of the card, but love how this turned out.

So, give it a try and let me know what you think...

Here is what you will need:

Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)

Tranquil Tide Card Stock (144252) - 4 7/8" x 3 3/8"

Card Challenge; Less Is More #369

Hello Stampers,

Today I am sharing my entry for the Less Is More Challenge #369 'Bring Something Back'.

For this challenge we were to create a clean and simple card using a technique or stamp set that we have not used for a while. 

I am bringing out A Nice Cuppa stamp set. One that came out before I joined Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator, to be honest, before I even knew of Stampin' Up!
I hunted around for this retired item for months and finally found it on ebay. So I glad I get the chance to use this stamp set for this challenge!

I love the 3 stacked cups (the one I used). It is a perfect focal point and teamed up with a sentiment in one stamp! Timeless Textures stamp set has to be one of my favourites for adding a little detail/texture. Keeping it simple I added a few splashes here and there to give the card a little something, then finished it of with a trio of Pearl Basic Jewels. And here we have a clean and simple card using a retired stamp set I just love :) 

Items Used:

A Nice Cuppa Stamp Set (Retired)

Timeless Textures Stamp Set (140517)

Soft Sky Cardstock (131292)
Smooth Whisper White Cardstock (106549)
Pearl Basic Jewels (144219)

Inks: Soft Sky, Crumb Cake and Fresh Fig.

But I could not stop at just one card, so had a play and created a few more which you can see below. Thanks for visiting!

Happy Crafting,

Bubbles & Fizz Top Folding &/or Z-Fold Card

But not as a bundle offer, so grab it now while it is still a bundle and at 10% off!

For this tutorial I have used the exact same supplies used for my sample and turned it into an easy Z-fold card! Two for one on ideas ;)
We even get to try a dabbing technique for a little 'styling' on the bottles, removing some of that colour to give a lightened blend look towards the top. I just love the clean, crisp look and those bright colours!

Thick Whisper White Cardstock (140490) - C6 Cardbase

Whisper White Card Stock (106549) - Scalloped Circle
