Hey everybody! Happy Friday! The weekends sure seem to be coming around quickly these days! Leslie here, sharing another inspiration project featuring the new Thanks stamp set and coordinating Thanks die set! I created a mini slimline employing the raised inlaid die cut technique which I think always turns out so cool! These are amazing stamps and dies, and the large sentiment works perfectly for this technique and for a mini slimline card!

I cut a 3-3/4" x 6" mini slimline card base from ivory cardstock. I then cut a layering panel from a fabric look patterned paper, die cut the large sentiment from the Thanks die set into the center of the panel, and adhered it to the card front on double-sided foam strips. I stamped the Thanks sentiment from the Thanks stamp set in dark green ink on a piece of ivory cardstock and colored it with alcohol markers. I die cut it with the coordinating die and adhered it into the negative space of the panel on the card front. I stamped the remainder of the sentiment on an ivory cardstock scrap, trimmed it and adhered it beneath the sentiment. The finishing touch was stamping the dragonfly on an ivory cardstock scrap in black ink which I colored, die cut and adhered to the upper left of the sentiment.

It's back to school time and whether your student has been in school for a few weeks now or just getting started doesn't matter. What matters is are you supply ready with Thank You cards?

Hi all! Tia here with you from RockyMtnCraftia.com. I always looked forward to crafting a variety of Thank You cards and gifts when the school year got started. Ready to thank my son's classroom teacher, and para-professional. Thank his specials teacher (music/art/computers/gym) at back to school night. Better yet, was when he asked me for a Thank You card for the crossing-guard!

There are so many people in our lives that we can not only be Thankful For, but can also take time to just Thank! And this is the stamp set to do it!

My cards today are super fast and easy! Perfect for making several to have in your stash! I began with an A6 sized card (4.5x6.25) I used design paper with a school theme. Keeping with that theme I selected the dash-lined Thanks stamp. It reminded me of the tracing letters you do when learning to write.

I embossed white letters on black cardstock and used the word die to cut out. Then used the reverse colors on 'for all you do' and fussy cut it out. 

I popped both sentiments on foam tape, layering them slightly. 

Using an old Cricket cartridge called 'Back To School', I cut out several apples from toner paper and then foiled them. Count this cute card-done!

Here, I matted the card with black cardstock and adhered the design paper to it.

I used a 2 inch strip of black cardstock across the center. As before I embossed 'Thanks' in black on white cardstock and reversed the colors on 'for all you do' and adhered them the same way as before. 

I had an extra foiled apple and added it with foam tape too.

I told you these cards were fast, easy and super cute! 

Pick up the Thanks stamp set and coordinating die set today and get started on filling up your Thank You card stash!

Until next time, have fun and Go-Get-Crafty!

Hello Pals!  Kim back with you today to share another fun card that I created with the Thanks Stamp & Die Bundle.  I had a ton of fun creating this bold card. 

I stamped the different focal images repeatedly on a diagonal across a white card panel, ensuring that I ran the stamp off of the edges to make it look fluid.  I then colored the images using a very strange (for me) color palette of yellow, yellow green, teal, and blue violet. 

I stamped the stitched Thanks on a scrap piece of white and colored it, alternating the colors.  I then used the coordinating die to cut it out.  From a violet panel of card stock, I die-cut the "thanks" twice, and adhered them to the back of the colored thanks, to create a shadow around it. 

I adhered the colored panel to a piece of yellow cardstock and added it to the card base.  I added a loopy white bow behind the focal image and popped it up on foam squares before attaching it to the card front. 

I love how cheerful this card is!  Make sure to head over to the shop and pick up this amazing bundle!  

Thanks so much for spending a few minutes with me! 

Xoxo, Kim

 Hi Pals!  Kim here, today, to share a sweet card that I made using the new Thanks Stamp & Die Bundle.  I just love this stamp set, as there are so many fun ways that it can be used. 

I wanted to create a clean and simple card, so I stamped the focal image on a white card panel, followed by the "so much" sentiment and the little dragonfly.  I colored them in with Copic Markers and set the panel aside to dry. 

I adhered a lilac panel of cardstock, along with a coordinating lilac gingham paper to the card base and added the colored panel. I finished off the card by adding a handful of lilac rhinestones. 

I really love the simplicity of this sweet card, and I hope you do too!   Make sure to head to the shop to grab your bundle!  I promise you won't be disappointed.  I will be back in a few days to share another card that I made using this same set in a totally different way! 

Thanks so much for spending a few minutes of your busy day with me today! 

Xoxo, Kim

Hey everybody! Well, another Monday has rolled around which means another weekend bit the dust! Hope you had a good one! Leslie here, sharing a tri-fold thank you card featuring the new Thanks stamp set and coordinating Thanks die set. It's been a minute since I made a tri-fold card and this one has panels on it rather than the typical slanted edge. I can't say enough about these stamps and dies. Everybody needs thank you cards in their stash and those with a large sentiment sure speak volumes!

I cut a basic tri-fold card base from ivory cardstock along with a layering panel from a floral print. I stamped the large sentiment, two butterflies and a dragonfly from the Thanks stamp set on ivory cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers. I fussy cut the letters and die cut the butterflies and dragonfly with the coordinating dies in the Thanks die set. 

 
Using stitched oval dies in my stash, I die cut three ovals for each of the panels from ivory cardstock and additional floral prints, layered them and adhered them to the card base. I added the main sentiment to the first panel and stamped the remaining parts of the sentiment as well as leaf images (from the same stamp set) on the two subsequent panels. I embellished the front panel with a duplicate fussy cut floral image popped up on small foam pads and one of the butterflies, then added the other butterfly and the dragonfly to the other panels. The finishing touch was adding clear iridescent gemstones (colored with an alcohol marker) to each of the panels.

March 25, 2023 - You Are My Sunshine - CLR268 and Rainbow Dreams - CLR261

 Hi Pals!  Kim, here, to share another card that I created using some of the beautiful new products available in the shop.  Have you been enjoying the new release this week? 

 I had so much fun creating this bright cheerful card!  I combined two of the new stamp sets to - You Are My Sunshine Stamp Set and Rainbow Dreams Stamp Set.

I used lots of masking along with coloring the images with my Copics, which allowed me to create a one-layer image.  

I paired this with one of my favorite patterned papers, which is actually a Christmas paper, and I distressed the edges with a pair of scissors to add some texture to the card.   I finished up with a fun bow, paired with a cloud brad in the center. 

I hope this inspires you to do something crafty!  I am waiting impatiently for summer to come, but for now, this will be my taste of Vitamin D! 

Thanks so much for hanging out with me for a few minutes! 

Xoxo, Kim
