Wedding Thank You Card

The first round of wedding thank you's have been sent. Hopefully they have all been received by now. I went with a simple, but elegant design for the card. This is so easy to accomplish when you use the Stampin' Up! embossing folders. I am a little sad to see this stamp set Engraved Greetings retire on June 30th. With the nice big stamped image it makes a nice, quick card.

I am looking forward to using My Digital Studio, the Stampin' Up! digital software to work on the next wedding cards which will be invitations to our reception to celebrate with family & friends. Then of course there will be round two of thank you cards. If you haven't read my previous posts from a few weeks ago you are probably all confused. We eloped so that explains the first round of thank you's for gifts we got right away.

If you can't live without Engraved Greetings then check out my Online Store and place your order by June 30th.

Supplies:
Stamps: Engraved Greetings
Ink: Black stazon
Paper: Very Vanilla & Basic Black cardstock
Other: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Basic Black satin ribbon, Decorative Label punch, Basic pearls jewel accents

Happy Stampin',

Pretty Postage Mini Card

Here is a little 3 x 3 card that I put together over the weekend. I like to put these in my mini packets that I carry around with me. If someone I meet in my travels is interested in Stampin' Up! then they will get this card, a current mini catalog, business cards, promotion flyer and my upcoming schedule.

I also think this is a cute idea to make some to carry around with me to thank those people I come across each day. This could be anyone - cashier, postal worker, hairdresser, bank teller, etc. I am going to make it my mission to thank more people on a daily basis. I know it always makes me feel super when I get a little unexpected thank you.

So I used the Pretty Postage stamp set from the Summer Mini catalog to put this together. The stamp set has a coordinating punch the postage stamp punch. If you follow my blog you know I am crazy about stamps with coordinating punches!

I saw a similar card on Stampin' Connection a community for Stampin' Up! demonstrators and really liked the color scheme. The colors are Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip & Whisper White. 3 x 3 cards are great because they go together very quickly.

You can check out these products & more at my Online Store.

Supplies:
Stamps: Pretty Postage
Ink: Baja Breeze & Chocolate Chip markers
Paper: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White cardstock
Other: Postage stamp punch, 1 3/4 square punch, Whisper White 5/8 organza ribbon

Happy Stampin',
