Thank You Set for Grammy

Hi ya friends,
My Grammy asked me if I could make a couple of Thank you cards for gifts she received for Christmas, and of course, I did *Ü* But, since I had a bit of crafty time on my hands, I thought I'd make a set for her to have extras for when she needed them.

Here they are:

Since I was making multiples, I decided on making a simple design. 1) Die-cut the top panel with the Wonky Stitches die (Avery Elle). 2) Emboss each panel with a different embossing folder for interest & texture without much effort. 3) Die-cut the beautiful Thank You die (Impression Obsession) from craft foam & Metallic Platinum cardstock (DCWV). And adhere it all together. Easy-Peasy! I kept the color palette Neutral since I don't know who the recipients are. I used Nennah Solar White and Desert Storm cardstock.

Here's the next: Scales Embossing Folder (The Paper Studio)

Embossing folder: Candy Cane Stripe (Cuttlebug)

Embossing folder: Decorative Tile Set (Cuttlebug)

Embossing folder: Chevrons (Darice)

Embossing folder: Leafy Tree (Darice)

Here's a bad pic of the details & dimension:

Here's a pic of the innies: Left it blank for Grammy to write her message.

And I made an envelobox to store them.

Well, Grammy really liked them so now she would like me to make her a set of Birthday Cards too... yes, Grammy, of course... can you please pass the Chile Rellenos *Ü*

ETA: You can find the video tute I created for making an envelobox --->HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Until next time...

Let There Be Peace on Earth

Hi friends,
Today I have a card to share I made for a friend who is a French teacher at another school. I was so saddened with the recent attacks in Paris, and around the world, I had to reach out to her to let her know my thoughts and prayers are with her, her family, and the people of France.
Here's my card:

 I used the MFT Sun Rays stencil, embossing paste, and Distress Inks to create the background. I used the colors of the French flag and the sun rays to represent their light will never be snuffed out. I die cut the MFT Eiffel Tower die out of silver mirror card stock and the dove dies are from Impression Obsession. The sentiment is from MFT-IB Christmas heat embossed in silver over a strip of vellum.
Here's another peek:

These terrorist attacks are tragic, and while injustice, greed, and corruption very well exist in the world, somehow...I don't think God (in whatever form) wants or warrants these actions.

Thank you for popping in today. I hope you have a great week *Ü*
