Easy Thank You Card for PP454

, , , ,
Comments: 8

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!

easy thank you cardThe Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

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.

Vintage Style Friendship Card for FF0040

, , , ,
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.
