More Thank You cards? Yes, please!

Hi Everyone,

This is the last of the "mini series" with thank you cards made with the sentiment stamping technique introduced recently by Jennifer McGuire :o) You will surely see more of that technique in the future, but for now that's all I have! 

This card is quite similar to the one from the first post, however the layout is slightly different (and, of course, the colour combo differs, too!). I'll be totally honest with you here - the different layout was somehow forced on me, since the bottom sentiment simply didn't stamp correctly. But instead of binning the project, I decided to try cutting off the messed up part, and voila - here's the end result! Like I said in my most recent YouTube video - If you can't fix it, make a feature out of it! Well, maybe this time it's not a feature per se, but I definitely stuck to my motto and didn't give up on this card. 





I am entering the card into the following challenges:

Thanks for all your lovely comments,

The Thank You cards craze continues!

Hello Everyone, 

As promised, I'm back with another card inspired by Jennifer McGuire's sentiment stamping technique, and a colour combination from the Seven Hills Crafts challenge blog. This time, I decided to try stamping over the sentiments, without any masking. I have to say, I like this end result also! It's rather hard to choose a favourite!

What do you think?

As you might have noticed, I have recently been working on a lot of Thank You cards - that's because a lot of my crafty friends from Instagram sent fabulous 1st birthday cards to my daughter, Amelia, and now it's time for me to thank them. Some of them will be waiting a bit long for the thanks, but it's the thought that counts, right? :o) I still have a few to go, but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel... And then... Christmas cards! I have a feeling I won't manage to make too many this year, but I'll try my best... And yes, the same technique might be used on a few, cause it's so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by,

Mirella

Thank you cards with WPlus9 and MFT

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're having a great Fall! The trees here in Helsinki are wonderful and colourful, although they are slowly starting to lose their leaves, and soon the dreadful... winter will be coming! Eek! I am really not a big fan of winter, but hey - once it's over, spring will come, right? :-)

Today I want to share with you two thank you cards that I made over the weekend. The colour scheme was inspired by a photo challenge over at Seven Hills Crafts, and the sentiment stamping technique is another genius idea of the one and only Jennifer McGuire. And the best news is - I got to play with my MISTI some more, which was so much fun! 

I hope you like these. I'll be back soon with another set of similar cards, but in another colour combo!

Have a great week,
