Thank You with Flourishes

Hello stampers, Angi here with a beautiful way to say "thank you".  

 

It's so fun to combine TCM stamps. I've mixed two of them together today to make a thank you card for a dear friend. If you add in ribbon, butterflies, and a bit of bling it will dress up the design just a bit. It's always good to choose an ink color that pops too!

 

You can find both of these wonderful stamps in the TCM Store.

Chalkboard Birthday

 

 

I hope that my project will inspire you to make your own thank you cards!

 

Chalkboard fun!

Clare here today with some chalkboard fun using the fab Chalkboard Birthday stamp set. I love the chalkboard style and it's very easy to do with this great stamp set.

After stamping your chalkboard sentiment with VersaMark, heat emboss in white and add some touches of a white pigment ink pad. You can also add some ruled lines using white pencil as I did here in the background. I also love to add a touch of color using blending chalks.

Here's the Chalkboard Birthday stamp set I used today! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Other supplies: Core'dinations cardstock, Sizzix Framelits Oval Frame, Rose Pavilion (Anna Griffin) embossing folder, crochet lace, yellow twill, white coloring pencil, baker's twine.

Happy Gifting

Hello stampers, Angi here with a happy gifting idea.  

 

Gift cards are so quick and convenient for gifting. Before you hand them out, be sure to "dress them up" in a pretty package like I've done today. I used the fun Chalkboard Birthday stamp.

 

I stamped then embossed the birthday sentiment to make the color pop!

 

Any type of gift card will fit perfectly on the inside of your holder.

 

 

 

This stamp is FREE with a $50 purchase in the TCM Store.

 

 

 

More masculine cards...

Hi there!

Jessica here with 2 cards that I made recently with a 'masculine' theme in mind.  

I used greys, black, and browns together pulling the colors from the patterned papers I used.  My first card uses the new Let's Face It (hat) and Chalkboard Birthday.  I only inked part of the sentiment for my card - 

My next card is even more CAS... I stamped the sentiment from Chalkboard Birthday in white ink on black card stock.  Lots of textures but minimal embellishments... perfect for masculine cards.

Have a great day!
Jessica

Here's the two stamp sets I used on my cards today:

Thank You Flowers

Hi, Clare here with a floral thank you card using Wildflowers and Chalkboard Birthday. I did some paper-piecing using some patterned paper, fussy cutting and highlighted some details using Distress Markers.

The sentiment is from Chalkboard Birthday, I love the fonts in this sentiment! Below are the stamp sets I used today. Thanks for dropping by, have a great day!
