I used some lime green cardstock on which I layered up silver mirricard and a Cuttlebug card embossed with scrolls and embellished with green ribbon and a couple of flowers punched out of rainbow vellum. A peeloff "Thankyou" and edges finished it off. The embossed scrolls I finished off with chalks and some fine line glitter to give it a touch of sparkle although it doesn't show on the photo.

I cut a round circle out in the A5 white card. Decorated around the circle with die-cut flourishes in pink and added 3 paper flowers on the bottom and top of the circle and sugar candy's in each corner. I then added a "Thanks" sentiment on the front. Inside the card I put a topper of an elephant holding a bunch of flowers with the wording "Just to say.."

I took a prescored A6 ivory card with envelope and began by using my Fingerguard paper trimmer - with the Victorian blade - and trimmed around the 3 outside edges. I used an edging die on the right hand front edge - Edgeabilities 3 - insert B.
I then embossed the front of the card using my cuttlebug and a Craft Concepts embossing folder (Venus). Next I sprayed it with Crafter's Companion Spray and Sparkle (gold) and allowed it to dry. Then I took a soft pastel chalk in maroon and a cotton bud and lightly applied it over some of the raised embossed pattern. I next covered this with glossy accents and allowed to dry. I decorated the side edges with pearl pens in gold. I made up the bouquet using flower soft wires, "Russet" flowersoft, pva glue and some yellow/gold handmade paper - finishing it off with a tied maroon ribbon to match the pastel decoration. I glued this to the centre of the card, aligning it to blend with the pastel decoration. I then took a thick peice of acetate (needs to be thicker than the printable stuff for this) and cut it to size: the same height as the card, but 1 1/2" wider. I then scored a 1/2" in from each side edge and folded. I applied double sided tape to the inside of each folded edge. I then attached the left side to the folded edge of the card, making sure the two folds were butted up to each other snugly. (The acetate flap is on the back of the card). I then stuck down the right hand edge to the inside of the front flap, again making sure the edge of the card was snug with the fold of the flap - this left a nice 1/2" bevel on the front of the acetate to give the card a nice curved effect. I attached some gold peel off strip to the top and bottom edges of the acetate to help enhance the curvature and bring the card together. Next I took a length of matching ribbon and placed it across the card near the bottom, and then added some gold gemstones to it, placing the largest in the centre and working out to the edges with smaller gems. I took a gold peel off flower decoration and placed this at the bottom centre of the acetate, below the ribbon. I added a gold peel off "Thank you" sentiment to the upper right hand edge. I tidied up the back by cutting some ivory card to size and using double sided tape stuck it to the back of the card. I also took an A6 insert paper and trimmed this with the Victorian blade to match the card and stuck this into the inside of the card with DS tape.

Used Ranger “Faded Jeans” distress ink on all edges of blue cardstock & paper. Matted with “Shabby hearts” paper from paperprintables.com. Used same ink to colour the white cotton lace & stuck around bottom mat. Threaded a pink pearl buckle onto 2 pieces of dark blue ribbon (1 organza & 1 gros-grain) & tucked under top chequered mat, then stuck this to bottom mat. Re-sized one of the heart papers & made a tea bag folded medallion from 8 pieces cut with round nestie die. Used smaller die & another resized heart for “Thank You” sentiment (printed on computer). Both of these were adhered to card with 3d foam squares. Finished card with a couple of dark blue stick-on gems.
Insert says “from the bottom of my heart” & is printed on a paler version of paper. Punched a heart pattern down outside edge.

I stamped the main thank you image on white card, cut it out and distressed it with green ink. I mounted this onto dark green card and rounded the edges. I then mounted green patterned paper on to dark green card, rounding the edges of both on two opposite corners.I wrapped a green ribbon around this, and then attached to a white card. Then I added the stamped image. Next I stamped the thank you image again onto the same green patterned paper. I cut out the flowers of the image and added them to the original stamped image. I then added a button to one of the flowers, and a gem to the other flower. I also added gems to some of the details on the stamp, and to the ribbon.

The size of this dark green pearlized, textured card is governed by the size needed for the PATP topper (5” x 3.5”) as I wanted an even space all round. Topper decorated with Martha Stewart punch (which unfortunately I can’t remember the name of!) & edges inked with dark pink. Dark green satin ribbon threaded through pearl buckle & wrapped around topper. Cut-out tea bag medallion adhered with 3d foam squares & finished with stick-on green gem in centre & in corners of topper. Greeting coloured with marker pen to match.

I started with a white card measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I punched the side edge with ek scallop punch. I used me & my big ideas paper in reds for the front and a red bow of sheer ribbon from Wal-Mart. I placed a metal "thanks" sticker under the bow and placed a metal flower embellishment in the center of the bow. I purchased the metal flower from Oriental Trading Company.

Teatime Teddy Decoupage digi kit from Cuddly Buddly
Spellbinders Edgeabilities - scallops
Nellie Snellen scalloped ovals
Pink pearl pen
Silicone glue
Double sided tape
Foam pads
Blue Pearlescent Card stock
Silver Pearlescent Card Stock
Pink card candy
Gold Dust Paper
Print the digi decoupage sheet and backing paper onto the gold dust paper. Print the insert onto plain white paper.
I started with an 8X8 square folded card using the silver pearlescent card. I trimmed it's 3 edges with the scallopped edge die. I next took the square topper from the digi kit, the blue pearlescent card and the backing paper from the digi kit and layered them all to give a 1/4 inch margin around each subsequent layer. I found it easiest to start with the topper and work a 1/4 inch around that with the blue card, then took the printed paper and worked with this a 1/4 " larger again, finishing with more blue card again a 1/4 " larger. I matted and layered all these on top of the square card base using double sided tape. Next I cut out two small oblongs of the blue pearlescent card and stuck them on the side of the card to the right, and then using foam pads stuck two pink card candies onto each tab. I cut out the oval thank you sentiment and cut a scallopped oval to mount it on, going around the edges with pink pearl pen to make the pearls. I mounted this onto the card in the bottom left corner using foam pads. I cut out the decoupage and bent each item around a pen, then filled the curve with the silicone glue and mounted this to the main card over the topper. I trimmed the insert at the bottom to fit inside the card, and stuck in place with double sided tape.

Front of card
I made this card for my brother whom we visited for 2 weeks over Christmas. We had such a relaxing time when I saw this I knew it would be a perfect thank you card.
The sheet I used is "Simple Pleasures" by Penny Wessenauer. I cut out all parts of the design sheet. I then took the 3d pieces for the topper and put together with pop dots (foam sticky pads). I then put a thin gold peel off border around the largest part of the 3d
pyramid. Next I used Arlene's fast grab glue and dotted the flowers in the pot and around the edges and added "heather" flower soft. While the flower soft was drying I designed the card backing and used one of Penny's tile sheets to cover it. I also designed the insert using the same and placed one of her sentiments on it. I added my message. I then put dbl sided tape on the four sides and middle of the back of the pyramid topper and placed on the center of the card. I added the "Thank You" I had made with the same outline as the
card. Finally I attached the insert using a strip of dbl side tape on the left side of the card only. I added my little "made by" tag on the back and that was it.

I used Dawn Bibby Flower Patch Collection. I made an easel card using to different back ground cards. and matted and layered two toppers and then added a sentiment. I embellished it with flowers and a diecut butterfly. It is a beautiful collection and one tobe recommended if I am allowed to do that.
