Hello Friends
First things first - another Thankful Thursday here for your card-making pleasure. Many of my customers received this Thank You card this month and it certainly seemed to be a hit. Tell me what you think?
I stamped the Gifts of Kindness image and sentiment with Wisteria Wonder ink then embossed the main panel with the square lattice embossing folder. A Flower Shop bloom stamped separately and punched out with the Pansy Punch, affixed to the card with a dimensional (and a luscious large rhinestone) pretty much complete this card. Oh yeah - and the Itty Bitty punched blossoms in the corner - they count too!
On this particular Thursday I want to reiterate my Thank You to all of our military men and women who we honoured on Remembrance Day. Your sacrifice did not go unnoticed. Thank You!!
And on a much lesser scale of gratitude....I am thankful that Stampin' Up! has continued to offer its weekly deals -- knocking 25% off the price of various items. This week you can get the Gift Bow BigZ die for just $30.71!! And I happen to really love the extra-large boxes and mini-muslin bags!
I think it is wonderful that Stampin' Up! is continuing to offer these sweet deals to us. Don't you?
I hope you continue to have many things to be thankful for in your own lives. Just don't forget to remain thankful to all those men and women who served and sacrificed so we could enjoy things as mundane as crafts and cards!
God Bless you all, ~Cynthia <><
Hello Friends
Here's another of the gorgeous card & envelope sets that my In Color Club members receive along with their instalment of wonderful, co-ordinating products.
What do you think?
One of the things I love best about making my own cards is that I can spruce up the envelope and inside of the card if I wish, to make them co-ordinate. And I'll tell you, this matchy-matchy envelope and card make me very happy indeed!

Hello Dear Friends
I am so lucky! As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I not only get every new catalogue early, but I also get to order from them before general customers do. The newest Seasonal Catalogue goes live on August 1, but I got to place my order on July 1. And I can tell you - there are some terrific goodies in there that you are going to really, really want!
Want to find out how you, too, can pre-order products before they are officially released? And get a 20% discount on every order you place? Check out my Discount Tab at the top of this page.
As for today's card -- Today I am thankful that I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Because I am not very patient.....and I wanted to play with the new Expressions Thinlits earlier, not later.
I am also thankful since it is my "job" here with Stampin' Up! that sent my husband and I (free) to Fiji in April. And is sending us to San Diego for 4 days in September. All expenses paid. So I am thankful. Thankful indeed!
I know I used the "Thankful" thinlit on yesterday's card, but I am thankful that I have three words/dies to choose from! And on todays' card I combined the new "Love" thinlit with the flower image from Gifts of Kindness. Don't forget, when using the Expressions Thinlits you should place a piece of waxed paper between the cardstock (or DSP) and the thinlit, to enable you to remove the cardstock easier once you have cut it out. A bit of polka dot embossing down the edge of the card, a few pearls, and voila. A cute and easy card.
Hope you have many reasons to be thankful yourselves! God Bless, ~Cynthia <><
