A Crisp Thank You Card

I finall had time to play with my pre-order goodies! I'm a long-time fan of Crisp Cantaloupe, so I was tickled pink that it went perfectly with the new Lullaby Designer Series Paper! 

I paired Crisp Cantaloupe with Silver Glimmer Paper and Silver Emboss powder for this look. It turned out to be a fun combination. I wasn't too sure at first. 

Wondering where I got the silver antique brad? It's just covered with silver emboss powder. So easy! All you have to do is heat the brad with your heat gun for a few seconds and dip it directly into the emboss powder.

What I Used:

Cardstock ~ Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White

DSP ~ Lullaby

Ink ~ Crisp Cantaloupe

Stamp Sets ~ Postage Due, Chalk Talk, Petite Petals

Tools/Other Supplies ~ Paper trimmer, vellum, versamark, silver embossing powder, heat tool, dimensionals, glue dots, liquid adhesive, hot glue, petite petals punch

Embellishments ~ Silver baker's twine, antique brads, basic metal buttons, vintage faceted designer buttons, white satin ribbon, crisp cantaloupe thick bakers twine

Bokeh Burst

Bokeh just happens to be my current favorite effect for photos. SO CUTE! So, I decided to create my own Bokeh patterned card. Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, it's perfect!

Supplies

Cardstock ~ basic black, very vanilla, strawberry slush

DSP ~ first edition (sadly retired)

Ink ~ strawberry slush, pumpkin pie, basic black

Stamp Sets ~ hearts a flutter, banner blast, lovely little labels

Tools ~ paper trimmer, paper snips, dimensionals, glue, SU markers, chalk talk framelits, hearts a flutter framelits, small heart punch, chalk marker, sponges

Perfectly Perfect

 I totally stole this layout from a card I saw on Pinterest a few days ago. Good ole' Pinterest! I absolutely HAD to put one together. I love all the different layers. To me, you can't have too many layers! I used a couple of my new stamp sets for this one. Vintage Verses for the little note inside the envelope. Pretty Petites for a few of the squares on the banner. Along with a few from the 2012 - 2013 catalog. I also used the new designer brads from the Spring catalog. Of course I gave it an antiqued look. This is a generic card that can be used for any occasion.

The inside of the card is decorated too! I used my old favorite  Fresh Vintage for the outside trim in coordinating colors from the front. LOVE this look!
