Thank You Card

Here's a quick take on a card I did with the Avonlea WOTG kit--see this post if you missed it--but this time, using different ink colors and patterned paper.  I love how it turned out!  I used Spice Cake papers from SU (currently on clearance!) and then paired it with chocolate ink (CTMH) and Pool Party ink (SU).  I popped up the stamped sentiment on foam tape for a little dimension.  Taught this card, along with this card, for my MOPS group last week!  The ladies all enjoyed stamping and punching, some for the first time! 

Natalie's Valentines

 

My 6-year-old daughter, Natalie, requested to make her own Valentines this year.  Of course, this made me super excited to see her interest in paper crafting!!  So, she and I sat down with my stamps, inks, ribbons, and embellishments and cranked out 18 Valentines on little homemade 3x3 cards

(3x3 envelopes from SU, not shown)

 

 

Each one is completely different--which made it fun and interesting for us and hopefully will be enjoyed by each of her classmates!

 

 

Here's a closer look at a few at a time...

 

Love that Chevron background stamp from the Whoo's Your Valentine stamp set!!
