Quick Heartfelt Thanks

There is not another stamp set I have ever owned that I have used more than this one for cardmaking! You can use this stamp set for almost any occasion, when paired with the right greeting set.

This is a card I have been using lately for both workshops and my own personal use as well. I make several of these and just leave the greeting on the front blank. When I need a quick card I stamp the greeting and off I go!!

The card base is River Rock Card Stock. I wheeled across the top half of the card using the “Petals” wheel and VersaMark Ink. The greeting is stamped in Old Olive.

Although it may look like I tied the ribbon, oh so carefully around the front of this card, if you look closely you will see that I didn’t. First, I cut a length of ribbon slightly larger than the front of my card. Then I took a smaller piece of ribbon (approx. 6 inches) and tied one knot around the longer piece of ribbon. Adhere the long ribbon to the front of the card using snail adhesive, making sure to add adhesive all the way to the edges. Trim the excess ribbon off each end with Snips or the scissors tool on the Cutter Kit. Last, trim up the ends of your shorter piece of ribbon so they look pretty!

This is not only easier than tying your ribbon around the card front, but also saves you a ton of ribbon!!

I usually use markers to color this flower image. But, since there aren’t any markers for the In Colors, I used the River Rock and Groovy Guava Ink Pads to color it in. The flower is stamped on Very Vanilla Card Stock and Layered over Groovy Guava. The edges of Very Vanilla are sponged with Groovy Guava Classic Ink. The corners of both layers are punched out with the Ticket corner punch. The main image is then adhered to the card front with Dimensionals.

Happy Stamping!
