My Customer Thank You cards this month feature the Charming Sentiments Bundle and Abstract Beauty DSP. If you’ve been following me you know that I love an eye catching and easy to create card. This pretty card is no exception, and this card layout is also great for showing off Designer Series Paper.

To create this card I cut a piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock to 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored it in half at 5-1/2″. I adhered a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Abstract Beauty DSP to the card base. Next, I adhered a 2-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Abstract Beauty DSP. I die cut a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock using the Deckled Rectangles Dies and adhered it to the card.

To Create the label, I die cut the hexagon with the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Then using the Charming Sentiments stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and die cut it with the Charming Sentiments Dies. I love the extra shapes that are included with the Charming Sentiments Dies and cut out the Blushing Bride heart. I added the sentiment and heart to the hexagon with Stampin’ Dimensionals, then added the hexagon with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well. To finish the front of my card I added a few Adhesive Backed Hexagons.

On the inside of my card I added a piece of Basic White DSP and Abstract Beauty DSP. This strip of Abstract Beauty DSP is the scrap left over from the same pattern I used on the card front, trimmed to 1″ x 5-1/2″. I wanted us use up my pack of Abstract Beauty DSP before it retires at the end of the month, so I created several in one batch.

You Are Wonderful with Happiness Abounds

Does my card look familiar? I CASED a card in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog for inspiration and slightly changed the label. Case-ing means Copy And Share Everything, and is a great source for inspiration. The cards made with the Hues of Happiness Suite catch my eye every time I’m looking through the catalog. This pretty card was quick to make and is perfect for any occasion.

I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock for the card base. I trimmed and adhered a piece of the Hues of Happiness DSP to add to the base.

Using Stylish Shapes dies I die cut a Granny Apple Green Label. Then I cut a piece of the Hues of Happiness DSP to 3/4’x 3″ and punched one end with the Banners Pick A Punch and adhered it to the Granny Apple Green label. I trimmed the end of the Granny Apple Green Label so it would be flush with the end of the card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock to 3/4″ x 2-1/4″ and stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape and adhered it to the label.

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the label to the card. I added a little sparkle with a few Gorgeous Grape Glassy Dots to finish my card.

Hues of Happiness You Are Wonderful Card Measurements:

  • Fresh Freesia Card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″
  • Hues of Happiness DSP: 3-3/4″ x 5-1/2″
  • Hues of Happiness DSP Strip for Label: 3/4″ x 3″
  • Basic White Cardstock for Label: 3/4″x 2-1/4″

Fun with Lighthearted Lines

I’ve had the Lighthearted Lines stamp set sitting on my stamp shelf for almost a year. it was high time I made some cards with this fun stamp set. The Sweet Symmetry DSP with its bright pretty colors is the perfect fun choice to go with the sentiments in the Lighthearted Lines stamp set.

Using the Basic Border Dies, I die cut multiple pieces of the Dsp. Selecting the patterns to mix and match was lots of fun. Once I had them adhered together I trimmed them down to fit the card bases.

To make this sentiment just a bit more fun, I wanted to easily stamp “Forever” inside on this card. I snipped apart the bottom half of this sentiment, now I can easily use a few of the words individually. I stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo on Basic White. I die cut the sentiment for the front of my card using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to a Night of Navy label. Foam adhesive sheets are fast becoming my new favorite adhesive to give my cards dimension. I love that I can quickly cut them to fit and give just a bit more stability.

I used a number of dies to create all the different labels for my cards. The finishing touch on these bright color cards are the Brushed Brass Butterflies. I had a lot of fun putting these cards together.

You’re Stuck With Me Card Measurements

  • Bumblebee Cardstock Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
  • Sweet Symmetry DSP: 6′ x6′, then trimmed to fit card front

I hope you found some inspiration from these fun cards. All the Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make my card are available in my online store. Simply click any of the product photos below!

March Customer Thank You Cards

This month my Customer Thank You Cards are inspired by the Annual Catalog. If you are ever looking for inspiration the Annual Catalog is a great place to start, it’s a treasure trove of amazing creations. I took the inspiration from page 68, the Simply Elegant Suite card. I love the elements in this card, it showcases Designer Series Paper and stamping directly on to the cardstock card base.

To make my card I started with stamping the beautiful swirl from the Sentimental Swirl stamp set on the left side of the cardbase. I love stamping tone on tone, it really makes the already pretty colors so much richer. I also stamped some of the swirls on the inside of my cards.

Next, I cut strips of the Abstract Beauty DSP and Gold Foil paper. I adhered the DSP to the Gold Foil Strip, then using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, added them to the right side of the card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Magenta Madness on the label. Before adding the label to my card, I adhered a gold foil element from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack to the back of the lable with some Stampin’ Seal. I cut a piece of Foam Adhesive sheet which I added to the back of the label over the Gold Foil element. Doing this keeps the Gold Foil element lifted off the card but firmly in place on the back of the label.

I wanted to use all the 2020-2022 In Colors and the Abstract Beauty DSP was perfect to pair with these pretty colors. Once I started taking photos of my cards, I had some inspiration to add just a touch of bling, I brushed a little Wink of Stella on the swirls. I love the look, but it was hard to photograph.

Just Thinking of You Today Card Measurements:

  • Cardbase: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
  • Abstract Beauty DSP: 1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
  • Gold Foil: 3/4″ x 5-1/2″
