Veteran Thank You Cards

 I am so impressed with all of the Veteran Thank You cards that I have been receiving and can't wait to share them all with you.

Here are cards that I received from Debbie Vine, she outdid herself!





Debbie has been busy using her retired Designer Series Papers, this was such a good idea that is exactly what I did also!! I thank you Debbie for making a total of 115 cards for this great cause.

You know, you can also participate and I would love it if you did. Here are the guidelines:

  • Red/White Blue colors (Either in Cardstock, Design or Ink)
  • White piece of paper on the inside (for messages that they will write) We don't write the messages. We can add a strip of DSP or a star for decorations.
  • Does not have to be Stampin' Up!
  • Clean and simple is great!!
  • No envelopes
Deadline is June 1, 2026

Thanks for stopping in, take care.
Cindy

Just a Note

Sometimes I have left over class supplies and rather than just file them away, I make them up into a card. Because you know if I don't do it right away it just sits on my desk.

Here is a card that all I did was change the base card,


Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: Fragrant Layers

INK: Misty Moonlight

PAPER: Misty Moonlight Base, White Layer, Floral Charm DSP, Highland Heather

ACCESSORIES: Fragrant Layer Dies, Dimensionals, Adhesive Strip

Here is the class card:


So you see by just changing a couple of things, I have a whole new card. I like how they both turned out.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great and creative week.

Cindy

Stampin' Up! Your New Favorite Background is Here!

Looking for a fun and simple background? This is it! 







Wow Tip: Create a Custom Background with One Die
Bring creative potential to the foreground for your customers using a background die. A number of different looks are waiting to be discovered when you cut the same background from several different patterns or colors and piece them together.


Step 1: Cut the background die shape from five different colors of cardstock.


Step 2: Cut the four colors into rows and adhere them to the Basic White background. (Tip: You’ll have enough pieces to make several cards.)

Step 3: Stamp the flower in VersaMark ink and add clear embossing powder. Tap to remove any excess powder and emboss using a heat tool. (Tip: Before stamping and adding embossing powder, lightly dust the cardstock with the Embossing Buddy to prevent static.)

Thanks for stopping by!
Cindy
