Tea Themed Thank You Notes

 Here are a set of six thank you notes that I had fun making using a combination of current and retired tea themed stamps, dies, and papers.  These are 5" x 7" cards, so a bit larger than my standard card size, which gave a bit more room for creativity.

Love-filled Cards for a Special Couple

 Sharing some very special cards today.  I actually made these in December! 

The first one with the hearts was commissioned by my son Daniel to give to his bride to be at a special ceremony they had in December in Houston.  He wanted something very special with lots of space to write a message.  So, I decided to create a special gatefold with heart flaps.  I forgot to get a photo, but there is an additional writing space under the flap with the larger heart.  

This second card is one I made to give Vanessa at her bridal shower in Houston.  I took inspiration from the colors and flowers on the invitation, and used some gold embossing on the flowers, greetings and randomly on the embossed background to create a beautiful shine (unfortunately not captured well in my photos!)  I used the Gallery Blooms Bundle for the flowers and Wonderful Thoughts for the greetings.  

Please let me know if you have any questions about these cards!

SUper Friends January Valentine's Swap

For our January SUper Friends swap, we decided to create Valentine's cards!  Here are the creations, which I think you will agree are amazing:

Connie created this gorgeous Valentine with the Made with Love Suite collection:

Connie also decorated the inside to be a perfect match:

Kallien created a sweet fun-fold, with a peek a boo corner fold to show off both sides of the designer paper on the front, and a pop up element on the inside.  Kallien used the Wooly Friends Bundle, Love Notes Designer Series Paper, and Endless Love Dies:

Judy's stunning card is a pull tab slider, featuring the Fragrant Layers Bundle: 

Margery's super cute and creative card combines elements from the Sweet Jar Punch, Notes and Totes Dies (heart glasses), and Sentimental Framing Dies:

Jaya's romantic card features the Gliding Swing Bundle.  I love how she added heart shaped pillows on the swing -- such a perfect Valentine's touch:

Jean's beautiful card layers die cut hearts, including some made with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder over a sweet embossed background, with some elegant pearls: 

I decided to make a faux step fun fold for my Valentine.  I used the Endless Love Dies, and couldn't resist adding some stitching with Baker's Twine around the largest heart die.  I also used the Hope Love and Joy Bundle.  

Here's a little greeting hidden inside the card:

I hope you enjoyed these sweet cards and that they inspire you to create a heartfelt card of your own!

Thanks for visiting!
