I created this simple thank you card using the Pretty Perennials stamp set which is retiring on 30th June and only available while stocks last.
Happy New Annual Catalogue Day!

It's been a few months since I last took part in Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights so I am excited to be taking part again!
What great timing too, with the theme as 'thank you' I thought it would be perfect to enter these colourful thank you cards that I created for anyone who placed an order with me in March.

Happy New Year!
My first project of the year are these two cards that I have created for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights!
The theme, as always, is Thank You

I've selected patterned paper with muted colours so that these cards could be suitable for those who perhaps don't like pastel or bright colours
My first card predominantly features the colour Gray Granite. The card base has been completely covered with Peony Garden Designer Series Paper - there is a feint pattern to it (you'll see it better in the image below).
I have added a circle (die cut from the Stitched Shape dies) fron another pattern from the same pack of DSP - the background colour is white and it has a floral pattern in Gray Granite. Underneath it is a Scalloped Circle (die cut from the Layering Circles dies) in Gray Granite.
I've added die cuts from the Forever Flourishing dies directly onto the circle. I've used Gray Granite, Whisper White and Vellum Cardstock for a nice mix of neutral colours and texture.
The sentiment is from the Prized Peony stamp set.

My second card features the colour Basic Gray. Like mt first card, the card base has been completely covered with Peony Garden DSP.
The stitched circle has a floral pattern with a background in white and Basic Gray flowers, underneath is a Scalloped Circle in Basic Gray.
For this card, I've used Basic Gray, Whisper White and Vellum Cardstock for the die cuts.
I picked up my pack of embellishments, whilst there are so many great options, the gold Gilded Gems were the perfect choice on this occasion.
The combination of grey and gold is just stunning, I'm so pleased Stampin' Up! added these to their embellishment offering as we were missing a metallic gold gem.
I've realised I'm fast developing a signature for my card designs. All of my cards have either a glossy, shiny or sparkly element. I just can't help it - it makes me happy!

At first glance, you may think I have created a Christmas card, however, these are thank you cards!
I think they are perfect to send to those who have kindly gifted you or your family with a Christmas present, or perhaps just as a thank you during those wintery months.
These thank you cards are the perfect design to mass create.
They are so simple to put together but equally still feel that little bit special due to the silver foil accents and silver embossing.
I've used the stunning Feels Like Frost DSP.
The wintery scenes are so beautiful - I love the bokeh dots in the images.
To get three cards out of one piece of 6"x 6" DSP, I've simply cut the patterned paper into 2" strips and then cut the height down to fit my card base.
I cut strips of silver foil to place either side of the DSP (there is no way I'd cut a piece of foil that large to sit behind the DSP. Thrifty crafters will know exactly what I mean!)
I chose a cardstock base that blended beautifully with the scene.
For the card above I used a Purple Posy and the card below I chose my favourite - that's right you guessed it - Seaside Spray!

I've used the Love of Leaves Bundle from Stampin' Up! to create my thank you card.
The Love of Leaves stamp set is equally as great as the accompanying Stitched leaves dies.
Can you believe, I don't actually own any ink pads of colours that I could use to stamp autumn leaves?
Shocking I know! I didn't actually think that through when I purchased the bundle - oops! I'm just not a big fan of orange colours so when I updated all of my ink pads to the new style, I decided not to get them as I knew that for the large part they would sit there unused.
So I stamped my leaves in colours of green -using the colours Soft Sea Foam and Mossy Meadow. To get the three different tones, I also 'stamped off' with Mossy Meadow.
For the centre piece, I die cut a leaf from Mossy Meadow cardstock and then run it back through my cutting machine, using the die (bottom right in the image above) to add stitched lines to the surface of my leaf.
Underneath the leaf is a layer of Vellum cardstock, this helps it stand out more from the background but still allows the stamping to show through.
To finish my card, I die cut the sentiment from Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the Word Wishes dies and lightly painted it with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.

Today I am taking part in Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights!
Each month I enter a handmade card I've designed into Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights. It's great to see crafters from all around the world take part. A great source of inspiration!
The theme is 'Thank You' - you can check out all of the thank you cards entered by clicking on the banner below.

I do love a bit of shimmer and sparkle so I've been playing with Stampin' Up! products and have used a new technique to come up with a pearlescent background with a hint of colour.
I usually try and stick to a bundle when creating my cards but today I've mixed it up.
I literally painted the colour onto Whisper White cardstock. To do this I mixed some of the Frost White Shimmer Paint with Seaside Spray.
The Seaside Spray ink refill will soon be available in the UK but I didn't let the fact I didn't have it stop me. I literally pressed my ink pad onto a teflon sheet and then added the Shimmer Paint to it and mixed it with a paintbrush.
I loved the effect I created but I wanted to take it further so I embossed the painted cardstock when it was fully dry with the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder.
As I always say, it can be difficult to capture in photographs the shimmer in my projects but I think it shows well in my photos. It's so beautiful - although a little extravagant . It certainly wouldn't be cost effective creating lots of these!
Using the Rectangle Stitched dies I die cut two rectangles and positioned these on my card using Dimensionals.
I die cut two leaves from the Forever Flourishing dies and glued them into position.
I then decided to then apply the White Shimmer Paint lightly over the leaves (although I now wish I did this before I adhered them - however, it was an afterthought ). I love white on white but I felt it needed a little extra something.
Next I cut a piece of vellum to fit underneath it and layered it onto my card using Mini Dimensionals carefully positioned underneath, so they couldn't be seen.
For the final touch I added two Clear Epoxy Droplets, into the centre of the diamonds. I lightly coloured them with Seaside Spray Blends but the effect is very subtle.
I know lots of people suggest using odd numbers when applying embellishments but I honestly think even numbers are okay when used in this way! I hope you agree?
I hope you have enjoyed looking at my project today! If you like my card I would really appreciate you taking the time to vote.
