October Thank You Cards

I like to send a Thank You card with my Stampin' Up! orders and as its October (already?!)  Halloween is creeping up on us, I decided to use the Howlstooth and Scarringbone designer papers for my card.

I used Tangerine Tango for my card base, with a strip of this gorgeous paper, I stamped the dotty frame from the Four Frames stamp set in Tangerine tango, the sentiment is from the Just Believe stamp set, a black taffeta bow to bring it all together.

I love these papers as they are so versatile and suitable for many different occasions.

Simply Stampin' Challenge week 7

Its time for a new challenge at Simply Stampin' this week we have another sketch for your inspiration.  I really liked this sketch its a great starting place for a card when your lacking inspiration!!  The talented design team have again made some fabulous projects, so make sure you visit the Simply Stampin' challenge blog this week.

I'm planning on having a go at a scrapbook layout with this sketch during the week. I will post the finished layout once I get it  photographed.

 This was one of those cards I needed inspiration for - I was asked to make a card for a civil partnership in September and it had to be green.  I thought the sketch this week would be perfect for a simple design, the background was made with the So Swirly jumbo wheel using Garden Green ink over Garden Green card.  The ribbons are Very Vanilla satin and grosgrain ribbons layered up, with a beautiful frame form th new Four Frames stamp set punched with the matching punch.  I added a few pearls and the greeting is from the new Something to Celebrate  Level 2 hostess stamp set in the mini catalogue.

I still need to go and put everything away from my class last night with a lovely group of ladies they all loved the cards we made, so I will share them tomorrow, I still need to photograph them!!
