A Big Thank You I was asked this week to make a big Thank You Card with plenty of room inside for people to sign their names. It was a bit daunting to deal with such a big space and my new French Foliage stamp set and Leaves #2 Die got a bit of a workout. Project Details: Stamp Sets: French Foliage, Strength and Hope Card Stock: River Rock (textured), Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Riding Hood Red, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip Ink: To match card stock as listed as well as Early Espresso and Marina Mist Accessories: Leaves #2 Die, Basic Jewels - Rhinestones, Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelets, Hemp Twine

Leafy Easel Card I was working on a Thank You card today with my new Leaves #2 and it got me thinking how I could make an easel card with one of the leaves in the die (as you do ;). So this is the tiny distraction that took me temporarily away from the task at hand. I think it would make a cute little place card. Here's the Project Recipe : Stamp Sets: Strength & Hope, French Foliage Card Stock: Always Artichoke, Whisper White Ink : Marina Mist, Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie Accessories: Leaves #2 Die, Basic Jewels - Rhinestones I'll be back tomorrow to show you the Big Thank You Card.
