Creative Stamping & Scrapbooking By Kim

Thank You Card featuring the JUST BELIEVE Stamp Set!

Did I mention how much FUN I had at my New Catalog Open House on Saturday?






Watch for an announcement with the date of my Holiday Open House coming soon...

As promised, here is Make and Take #2.  This is a quick, easy card that would work for various themes, such as;  birthday, sympathy, thank you, thinking of you...

I created several of these and left the greeting off, so when I need a card I can pull one of these out, add a greeting and its ready to go in the mail.

TIP:  Ink the entire image with Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink and then remove the ink from the 4 flowers using a Blender Pen.  That way you don't have to marker the entire image, it is a time saver!  I do this when the majority of my image will be one color with just small amounts of an additional color.

Old Olive card stock, 6-1/4"x 3-3/4"

Designer Series Paper, 6" x 3-1/2"

NOTE:  Adhere DSP to Old Olive & then attach ribbon before you adhere to Chocolate Chip.  This way the ribbon will not show on the back of the project.

Mat with a piece of Real Red card stock 3-1/2"x2-1/4".

NOTE:  I stamped Happy Holidays an additional time in Jet Black Stazon & colored tree & cut out & attached with dimensionals.  I then stamped Happy Holidays a third time in Real Red and trimmed the word holidays & attached with dimensionals.

Stamp the "to/from" in Real Red on Very Vanilla & punch with Small Tag punch & then punch Old Olive with Tag punch to create a mat.  Punch (2) 1/16" holes in tag and thread Gold Elastic Cord through and tie with ribbon.
