More cards with Project Life supplies

I've been continuing some recent card making as I badly need a few cards for my stash. Here's another one which uses some Gossamer Blue PL supplies. I'm really please with how these turned out.

Time for some cards

Well I actually made a few cards this week. I need a few things for my stash - mainly birthday and thank you, plus some general greetings.

Beautiful Brushstrokes is one of my favourite sets. Here it is paired with some of the Wet Paints cuts, also from PTI.

And thank you again

Still making thank you cards for my stash. I've made a few using Embroidered Blooms, another new set from Papertrey Ink. Love the delicate two step leaves and flowers which do look like they were put in with little stitches:

Thank you kindly

Needed to send a few thank you cards recently and when I looked in my stash of cards, there were only a couple there. So I busted out the stamps and made a few more to have on hand. If you can bear it, here are another couple of cards using Quilled Elegance. Perfect set for cards like this.  This one uses coloured cardstock:

And this one is a more colourful effort on white:

Surfeit of thanks

Two more thank you cars if you can bear it. These are mini cards (4 x 4 inches) similar to others I've made. They come together very quickly - cut some patterned paper and some labels, die cut a border and you're done. The images and sentiment are from PTI's Embroidered Blooms set.  I didn't have the right coloured rhinestones, so coloured clear ones with my copics to match:

Supplies

Elegant thanks

Rather fancied the idea of gold and dark red together. Here's some more paper from the Haven collection at work, together with PTI's scarlet jewel ribbon. The flower is made from strips of a gorgeous gold fabric embroidered with silver threads.

My neighbour used to work for a fashion designer many years ago and gave me a box of the most beautiful fabric scraps - almost a pity to use them on card projects!

Supplies Other - Zva adhesive pearls, sewing machine

Card set

My PA is leaving work to go back to Australia so I made her a set of 10 assorted cards as a thank you gift.  Packaged them using a left over box from a PTI stamp set, decorated with a belly band and flower (made with the notched flower die).

I made a matching thank you card to go with the gift:

And thanks again

Another quick and simple thank you card, if you can bear it! Love these sparkly Prima flowers!

Thanks

I've been playing around with some scraps and border stickers from Crate Paper's Restoration collection - trying to use up the last few things in my stash of paper.  I need a few thank you cards to have on hand, so this is one I whipped up today. The butterfly is made with one of PTI's beautiful butterflies dies. Love those dies!

Supplies

Colourful thanks

Haven't had much time to craft recently as work has been to busy. I hate it when I get home exhausted and don't have the energy to make anything.  Finally managed to get a few hours in the craft room over the weekend, so whipped up a few cards. One of these was a quick and easy thank you card that used some die cuts I had left over from another project:

Other - newsprint from book

And thank you again

Time for another quick and simple thank you card. I'm using up some old supplies from my stash - this rub on has been sitting around for longer than I care to remember. Perfect for those occasions when you're too busy (or lazy) to stamp:

Other - Rub on from stash

Thank you

Just recently I had to whip up a few thank you cards. Since I had to produce a few, thought I would choose some simple designs for cards that were quick to produce.  I found some Pink Paislee Artisan Elements frames I've had for a while and thought they would be perfect for the job. Here are a couple of examples:

Butterfly thank you

I realised this week that my stash is woefully lacking in thank you cards.  I needed to send a few and had none on hand.  A quickly made a few to have on hand.  This is one which features Crate Paper's Random collection - one of my favourites:

Butterfly dreams

I found a cute Kaisercraft birdcage stamp in my local scrapbooking store.  No birds in this card, but I did use butterflies from PTI's butterfly dreams stamp set. And my new favourite accent, glitter:

Supplies
Paper - PTI vintage cream, lavender moon cardstock
Stamps - Kaisercraft Chateau collection, PTI turning a new leaf, in bloom, mega mixed messaages (sentiment)
Ink - Versafine onyx black, PTI ripe avocado, plum pudding pigment ink, vintage tea dye duo
Accessories - PTI plum pudding satin ribbon, Zig 2 way glue pen, prisma glitter, Tombow markers, foam mounting tape, hole punch

Simple thank you

I've been experimenting with different styles lately.  Here is a super simple thank you card that involves minimal stamping and incorporates a large Kaisercraft rub on (which took ages to apply).  Maybe rub ons aren't so convenient after all?  Perhaps this style is best described as 'clean and lazy:

Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's select white cardstock
Stamps - PTI mega mixed messages (sentiment)
Ink - Versafine onyx black, PTI vintage tea dye duo
Accessories - Kaisercraft Prairie Lane rub ons
