 Don't you just love a tree full of fruit?? This wonderful card with the Thoughtful Branches stamp set is full of tasty, red apples to enjoy! Combine that with the kind sentiment and you have a delish card to give to that deserving someone! Here is where I cased it from, in case you haven't got this set yet make sure you contact me today to order yours!! It's a must in your collection for sure!

Gold Thank you!

 

There seems to always be an occasion on which we can say thank you! Thanks for doing the washing, ( a job I really like help with!) thanks for having the children, thanks for all the work you did, thanks for being there as a friend, THANKS! This card is for a wonderful guy who's spent countless hours in the village here in Poatina writing curriculum and getting some old school buildings ready for students next year!

 

I thought that GOLD would be a wonderful touch for this thank you card and with some old DSP it all co-ordinated fabulously!! Love Stampin. Up! for that!! I embossed the Thank you and added some rustic embellishments, water coloured the background and splattered some of the sparkly gold glitter brush for good measure! OH I even stamped the inside!!

Due to the size of the card I needed to make an envelope to match, YAY for the envelope board!! Card complete, ready for all to sign and share their thanks!!
Do you have a stash of thank you cards ready to give?? I think it would be a super idea to have a pack ready to go! What a kind way to show someone your appreciation with a homemade thank you card.

Mmmm Chocolate (punch art card)

 

It's the weekend!! YAY!!! I'm not sure about you but generally that means that I get to eat FUN FOOD! Chocolate used to be top of my list for a Friday night movie but I'm being healthy for the Winter so homemade sugar-free brownies with cream go down just as nice!!

This card however was made for Hannah's Drama teacher. Hannah and the other students of Just Imagine Drama school just recently put on the Charlie and the Chocolate factory production! It was decided to get Rubi (the teacher) a gift of flowers and a card for everyone to sign. Well I soon put up my hand to make the card and with a fun theme like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the choice of design was easy!

 

I saw THIS great card which inspired my creation. I love the foil bit, makes it look more "life-like" and the gorgeous wooden element finishes it all off beautifully! Needless to say Rubi LOVED it and so did the students.... they wanted to eat some! Hee he!!

So whatever you are doing this weekend, may it be filled with some yummy treats, wonderful company and loads of fun!

Just Add Ink challenge #251... Just Add Thank you!

 

I was soooooo excited to think that I just made it in the latest Just Add Ink challenge! YAY! I totally needed a thank you card and so got to work while my treasures were happy playing after their school work.
I found the DSP on my desk which was a scrap and the inspiration came from there...... as you may have noticed I'm totally into adding doilies and flowers and lace on my cards at the moment, oh  and feathers but they didn't suit this one, hee he!

 

The greeting is from Trust God which works PERFECTLY for whom I'm giving this card to and the inside Thank you is from Another Thank you stamp set... LOVE THAT SET!!

See that gorgeous lacey ribbon... OH MY LOVE THIS, it's from the new mini (page 43) and the colour is stunning!! So there you have it, thanks sooo much for popping by!
