Mixed Bunch Thank You Card


Mixed Bunch

Hello friends! Sharing some of my new stamps on tonight's post. I just love the new Mixed Bunch stamps and punch from Stampin' Up. I used several layers on this card with the Tulip embossing folder on the base of the card. Some of the smaller stamps in the Mixed Bunch set were first used to create a patterned background on the base of the card.

What is the Occasion?

I have been looking at this card for far too long...what occasion would you use it for? Someone mentioned earlier in a comment that Garden Collage by Stampin Up was one of their favorite stamp sets...I agree. I can't quit coloring it to go with some of my fun papers. It is very versatile. Also used the Stampin Up hole piercing tool on this card for a little detail in the corners. This card is sitting blank now waiting for its sentiment.



Valentine Glitz

These cards are for sale on Ebay.

Ok, I admit...much doesn't get by me on paper without glitter, rhinestones or embossing. For some reason it just isn't "done" until some or all of the those elements are added to a card. I think the Cuttlebug was one the best little inventions ever. Before I bought the Cuttlebug (which you can get with a % off coupon at Micheal's) I tried to use a rolling pin with an embossing folder. It didn't work...and I looked like a retard if you can imagine the scene.

I have been working on several cards over the last few day and have finally got around to photos and posting. On this card I stamped the greeting before I embossed the paper using the Cuttlebug. Another great tip...when paper is on sale at Hobby Lobby, go find the individual sheets of glitter paper (used on the two small hearts). It is a thicker paper, but you can still get it to work on a punch.
