Thank You Cards - Compassion House

During my clean up last week I found a bunch of old card kits. 

I decided to make some of these up for Thank You cards for Compassion House.

During my visit with my friend on Tuesday we both worked on these kits over a cup of green tea.

This card features a handmade paper heart which has been layered onto a piece of lavender Japanese Mulberry paper.

The card base is pink.  I added a greeting in pink punched with the Stampin Up Decorative Label mounted with 3D foam tape.




These cards feature a die cut frame of designer paper layered over a white embossed layer.  It was embossed with the Cuttlebug D`vine Swirl folder.  I die cut Sizzix flowers and leaves  to place in the center.  Greetings were added in coordinating colors.

This card starts with a yellow base. I created acrylic paint paper on an orange base with red and gold paint.  This layer was cut to leave a small border and ripped on the right hand side and adhered to the card front.

The flowers are pages from a 365 day calendar.  The image was trimmed then adhered to a gold paper layer.  This was adhered on the decorative paper aligned on the left. 

I added a circle greeting on the right.



I am dropping these off today.

R2Go All Occasion Stack Kit - Set 04

I cut the flowers from black card stock.

I selected designer paper and coordinating card stock for the base.  It was cut to leave a small border.  I adhered the DSP to the card front.

I then aligned the flower and and stem onto the card front. Once happy, I adhered the flower then the stem and trimmed it to the edge of the card.

I made a hole in the center of the flower with a push pin.  I placed the flower sequin then the handmade flower by Prima onto the tiny black brad and placed the prongs through the hole and press them apart on the inside of the card.

This set features black and white printed elements.  The images were downloaded from Pixabay. They were printed onto white card stock then they were punched with a 2" circle punch.

I chose designer paper which would coordinated with the elements and then cards in black, white or kraft.

Once the desinger paper was adhered to the card front I wrapped a piece of black knitting ribbon around the card front and knotted it.

The element is created when the white circle is adhered to the black Stampin Up Deco Label die cut.  The label is then adhered over the ribbon with 3D foam tape.

This card features a large metallic copper diecut daisy done with the Sizzix Daisy #4 die.

I chose designer paper and card stock combinations that worked well together.  The DSP is cut to leave a small border then adhered to the card front.

I tack the copper daisy lightly with adhesive.  This time because I have a greeting I swung the stem to the right.  I used a push pin to create a hole in the center of the flower.  I placed the teal and copper flowers onto the tiny copper brad and pressed it through the hole I made. Spread the prongs on the inside.

The greeting was printed in teal on ivory card stock and punched out with the Stampin Up Artisan label.
