August thank you cards

I have been busy working on Christmas projects, which I won't share yet, it is a little bit early! However Stampin' Up's new mini seasonal catalogue goes live on the 1st September and I am holding a couple of launch parties for my customers to let them see the new products. Being a demonstror I get the new catalogue early and to pre order lots of the new stuff! I can tell you that I am very excited about what we are offering this year, I think the best yet! Once my launch parties are over, I promise to share what I've made on here, so watch out for that.

In the meantime here are my thank you cards for August and the thank you gifts my hostess club members got.  When I was on holiday I spotted these metal letters so I picked up a bunch of them for everyone in my club, I made an envelope type wrapper for them.  Think they went down well, I could picture them hanging in everyone's craft space!

Thanks for visiting today, hope you all have a great week.

Two babies!

My neighbours lovely daughter give birth to twin boys while I was on holiday and they are gorgeous!  I didn't want to make the usual type of card with welcome twins on it, so I came up with these.

I can't remember where I got this original template from, sorry but I've had it for years. I resized it in my photo copier to get the size I wanted. Then I decorated it with Stampin' Up dsp and the cardstock colour is Soft Sky. I then doodled the stitching around the edges with a Night of Navy marker and used the Little Letters thinlits to cut out the babies initials in Night of Navy to match.

The new Mummy loved the cards and they will take pride of place in the nursery. Don't you just love the reaction you get from handmade items! 

I'll be back soon with some more cards I've made, I haven't been working on classes during the summer so everything I'm showing you is cards I've made for family and friends.


I'll be back soon with more. Thanks for stopping by today.
