Lotus Bloom Thank You Card





















Most of you know that Sale A Brations is in full swing! One of the wonderful products you can receive for FREE when you purchase $50 in new products from the Stampin'Up! catalog is this beautiful stamp set called Lotus Blossom.  It is a multi layered stamp, meaning more than one stamp is used to create this beautiful effect.  When I stamped the lotus flower I started out with Blackberry Bliss on the stamp labeled 1.  Next I used Rich Razzleberry for stamp 2. Finally I stamped the stamp labeled 3 with Rich Razzleberry, but then stamped off once to create the lighter tone of the same color.  I think it turned out wonderful!  The stem was done in Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz.  
Also, note that I used our new stapler to adhere the string of sequins onto the card.

Color Me Christmas Gift Card


Welcome back to my blog! Today I am featuring the fourth card in the series of five cards I made for my recent Christmas Stamp A Stack.  When I designed this Stamp A Stack I purposely used minimal supplies, such as one main stamp set, one sentiment stamp set, one package of Designer Series Paper to make this easy for someone to make multiply cards with.

Here's the list of what I used on this card:
Crumb Cake card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2
Season of Style DSP 1-1/2 x 5-1/2
Cherry Cobbler cardstock 2-1/2 x 2-1/4
Image from Color Me Christmas stamped in Early Expresso in on
Whisper White cardstock 2-1/4 x 2
Colored with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive markers
Sentiment from Christmas Messages, stamped in Cherry Cobbler

Please come back tomorrow for the final of this five card set!

Thanks,
Charlotte
