Navy Thanks, Stepped Up Sunday

· Leave a Comment

So, You saw what I showed yesterday, right?

Nice elegant navy thank you card?

And, I bet you were wondering, just how does that get any better? 

Like this –

Doesn’t tell you much or seem too different does it? Really, you just added a circle at the top?

How about now?

That little half circle is an indication to pull up on the card.

I figured you could just see them all next to each other to get the effect!

Pretty cool, huh?

So these ended up being my official customer thank you’s.

Maybe tomorrow I might have a tutorial!

Navy Thanks, Simple Saturday

· Leave a Comment

I have a really elegant share today as part of Simple Saturday.

Nothing quite says elegant as the colors navy and white. Clean. Crisp. Stately.

I needed Thank You cards for last weeks Card Buffet attendees. I used this design –

Nice, huh?

The inside even coordinated with the outside –

I added the DSP inside because I had these scraps left over. Also because my paper trimmer decided to ‘snack’ on the paper as I was cutting it. This hid it well!

So. What you think? Comments are always welcomed.

And, stay tuned tomorrow to see just how in the world this card could get any better!

It’s Your Day, TSOT#285

Hi stampers! Time for a try Stampin’ Or Not On Tuesday challenge!

Today we have a great ‘go to’ sketch for you to play along with –

Optional Technique : Embossing

I was stumped on this great layout because I wanted to use some new DSP I had. I came up with this card –

I think the sentiment doesn’t really go with the style of the paper to me. But, it really flowed much better after I added the embossing to the stamped sentiment area.

The look was so much more put together.

I reversed the sentiment and the focal image. Sometimes you just have to do that in order for it to flow!

What do you think? You like it? Tell me about it!

Have I inspired you? If I have, then please join us at Stampin’ Or Not On Tuesday either on our blog or our Facebook page! It’s a two-week challenge.
