Thanks

 I have a couple of thank you cards to share today, I meant to post one yesterday but the day just seemed to have so many things come up that it never got done, so now I will post them both together.

The first I went with a die that I don't think I have used yet, I think my hubby bought it and I never was sure how I would use it but I thought why not frame it.

I cut it from white cardstock, then did a little bit of paper piecing for the bigger flowers and colored in the purple flowers with markers and then added a few stickles.  All papers I have used on this is from the same paper pack including the die cut frame.


  • Spellbinders - Flower Bursts die
  • Hero Arts - Wood Frame die
  • Basic Grey - Periphery paper
  • Fiskars - Essential sayings sentiment
  • Stickles - Yellow and stormy night


My second card I used Hunkydory  papers, images, sentiment and borders.


 I liked the way they did the flower background with two different patterns so I tried to mimic that by using two different patterns for my card background.  All that I added that wasn't in the card kit was some enamel dots.

  • Hunkydory - Flutterbye wishes card kit, images, paper, border and sentiment
  • Stampin up - enamel shapes



We had sunshine yesterday and with warmer temperatures, I so enjoyed getting out for a walk and soaking it up, we have another sunshine day today, so bummed that a portion of that will be running around getting errands done but will be nice when I am outside walking from building to car :)


Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today!

Your fun and funky die is cute on your first card, and you always know just what to do with the Periphery paper. Beautiful papers and design on Card #2. Really love that butterfly border! We had sunshine yesterday, too, and today is looking even better. We got out for a drive and a visit to a closed campground where the dogs could run.
