Looking for an easy thank you card? Look no more. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

easy thank you cardThis week, the sweet and talented Jaydee is hosting our monthly color challenge.  She selected Black, White and one other color. For my color of choice, I picked Rich Razzleberry.  Today’s card is so easy and versatile.  I hope you enjoy it!

When I envisioned today’s card in my head,  I wanted to use a black and white polka dot patterned paper.  Alas, I had none. So I did the next best thing, and created my own using 1/2″ circles punched from Basic Black cardstock.  I liked the clean and simple look I created, and decided to leave the bottom section free of polka dots. This created the perfect place to stamp a sentiment.  Because I needed a thank you card, I selected the large “Thanks” sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia set.  All you need to do is switch out the sentiment to suit your fancy.

Comments: 9

What better way to let a friend know you are thinking of them than with a vintage style friendship card! Welcome to Festive Friday, where we are celebrating Senior Citizen’s Day and/or Retro/Vintage Style!

vintage friendship cardI elected to create a vintage style card.  I can’t wait to see what YOU create for this week’s challenge!

Although today’s card may look difficult to create, it was very easy…especially when you let the paper do the talking!  This precious bird was simply snipped from one of the patterns in the Bird Ballad collection.  Pearls were used to accent the center of the flowers, and add to the vintage feel.

Today’s bright and cheery card is simple to create. There are no difficult techniques, just a lot of fun stamping and layering. Of course, every card is easier when you know the paper measurements, so here they are!

  • Pretty Peacock cardstock ( 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″)
  • Whisper White cardstock (a little larger than 3″ x 4-3/8″ and 1-11/16″ x 1-3/16″  in order to accommodate these measurements of Stitched Rectangle dies, scrap pieces large enough to stamp the images)
  • Dinoroar Designer Series Paper (4″ x 5-1/4″)

Instructions:

1.  Mat the designer paper onto Pretty Peacock cardstock. Adhere to the card base.

2.  Die cut the 3″ x 4-3/8″ Stitched Rectangle panel. Adhere to the card base.

3.  Ink the following images in these colors:  Palm Leaves (5) – Old Olive; Tree Trunk – Crumb Cake;  Pteranodon – Pool Party;  Checks on the Pteranodon’s wings – Pretty Peacock; Brontosaurus – Mango Melody;  Spots on the Brontosaurus’ body – Pretty Peacock;  Upright Dino- Flirty Flamingo;  Spines on the upright dino’s back – Pretty Peacock.  Die cut using the matching Dino Dies.  Adhere to the card as shown, using dimensionals for the Pteranodon and upright dino.

This card takes me back to the days when Brady was heading out to elementary school. I would always try to tuck something fun into his little back pack for him to discover.  He was such a dinosaur fan, and I know he would have LOVED this card. In fact, I am going to send it to him, even if it is 25 years too late. I know he will get a hoot out of it.
