Thanks a Bundle

I have another clean and simple card today for a cute thank you note. I can never have too many thank you notes on hand. I use them for so many things and I really think a handwritten note inside a handmade card is very heartfelt!

Today, I've used the Sentimentals, Knit and Stitch set as my main focus. I love the little sewing elements in this set, and nope, I don't sew at all. My mom didn't pass that talent down to me. Ha! I wish I could, but I have other talents that have served me well and that's why I'm here sharing these projects with you, my dear readers.

The embossed piece of cardstock behind the sentiment was created with the Blooming Wonderful Vintage Embossing Folder. It's just so pretty. It's a great way to add a touch of texture to your projects in a simple way!

Here are all the products I've used to create this card:

• Sentimentals, Knit and Stitch
• Blooming Wonderful Vintage Embossing Folder
• Memento, Tuxedo Black
• Spectrum Noir Markers: PP1, PP5, TN3, TN7, GT1, GT3
• Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock

Sew Inspired

Today I have a new set I just received. I know a few people that sew/knit/crochet, so I thought this is a perfect stamp set to have in my supplies. I love the cute little sentiments. 

For this card, I grabbed the Sentimentals, Knit & Stitch. I decided to ink up the four quilt squares with Memento Luxe in Love Letter, Sweet Plum, Dandelion and Morocco. I then cut them out around each of them and inked the edges with Distress Ink in Tea Dye. It softened them up a lot! I went for a more vintage look for this card. 

I used a kraft colored card base and chose a simple plaid paper in darker tones so the quilt squares would be noticeable on top of that. After I glued them all down, I started with my sentiment and other embellishments. 

The sentiment is also from the Knit & Stitch set. It says, "Knowing you is like having a blanket wrapped around my heart" which I love for this card! I stamped that onto the same kraft paper I used for the base using Rich Cocoa ink. I diecut the shape from the Die'Sire Essentials, Scalloped Squares. I made sure the sentiment was towards the top because I wanted the stitches that at the bottom. I used Morocco and stamped those. For the buttons, I inked them up with Memento Luxe, Wedding Dress and diecut those out. 

I knew I had some sewing embellishments in my stash, so I dug them out and created a little focal point in the center playing around with placement until I was pleased. 

I'll probably end up sending this to my mom as a just because, or for Mother's Day. :) So mom, I hope you don't see this!
