We are enjoying our spring break family time. So much so that I haven’t spent any time crafting. I thought I might have some down time here and there, but we’ve been on the go and having a ball! Today we’re back home from our woodsy adventures and I took just a few minutes to whip up a super cute thank you card for our house/pet sitter using the Meow Mates background stamp. One of the things I love about making cards is being able to tailor a design to a recipient, so naturally I had to incorporate our sitter’s favorite color — PINK — into this design!
We get started with a base of Melon Mambo cardstock. I stamped the Meow Mates background in black on white cardstock and adhered to a mat of Pretty in Pink and then adhered to the card base. I had a leftover Meow Mates image from another project and used it to punch a portion to pop up on the focal panel. I chose kitties that most represented ours — both in fur pattern and personality — and then used a whole slew of Stampin’ Blends to color in the images in the smaller circle panel. I used the (retired) Everyday Details dies to cut a sparkly mat of Pretty in Pink glimmer paper to mat the focal panel. The sentiment from the new Online Exclusive School Days stamp set is stamped in Melon Mambo on white cardstock and then diecut into a banner shape using the Adventurous Sky die. I used the Nested Essentials dies to cut a banner mat from Pretty in Pink cardstock. In between the layers, I put a twist of Pretty in Pink bordered ribbon. I finished things off with In Color shimmer gems and shiny sequins across the panel.
I don’t have a particular design theme for this week, unless you count RANDOM as a theme. *snicker* Break weeks always have me flying by the seat of my pants. So that’s what the ol’ crafty projects will reflect this week! But I hope you’ll pop in to see what comes next.
