Thank You Cards



I have been the recipient of many kindnesses recently, and I wanted to make a few cards to show my gratitude.  I really liked the layout that Maile used here, and wanted to see if I could use my new Natural Beauties stamp set with this design.

This first card uses Winter Wisteria, Plum Pudding and Simply Chartreuse, and it is on it's way to Jeanne of A Kept Life for the beautiful butterfly die she just sent me.  I just love butterflies, and his new die goes with another butterfly die she already sent me for my birthday.  Isn't she just too sweet?


The color scheme of this next card is Memento Angel Pink, Hibiscus Burst and Simply Chartreuse.  Note:  I tried it with Sweet Blush, but my Sweet Blush has a brownish tint, and I liked the pinkness of Angel Pink.  This card is going to my friend Michelle in the UK, who sent me the cutest little Waltzingmouse stamp set as a thank you for being her shipping buddy.



This last card is going to my friend Rhonda from Stamp N Piece.  The colors are Aqua Mist, Versacolor Turquoise, and New Leaf.  She sent me one of the favors she made for her Texas Stamp a Faire group, and you can see it in action right here.  Isn't it cute?  She and her husband made these little card holders.  I have also timed this post so I can link up this card with Rhonda's Thankful Thursday #32 post. 




Here are all three cards together, as a reminder of the kindness and generosity of my blogging friends.  The best thing about this trio of cards--they are all in the mail already, on their way to show the recipient how much I appreciate them.
 


Thanks for Visiting

  15. Hi Joyce! Do you know how long that sentiment set has been on my wish list!!!! I LOVE it here on a vertical strip. The colors are awesome...and ask Renee...I tried those flowers at her house and decided that I needed more practice because they did not look as fabulous as these!
