Darling Donkeys

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your all having a nice weekend!

The sun is shining here brightly but don't let that fool you.....it's very cold!

Yesterday our high temp only got to the mid 20's and today it's to be low 30's. 

Tomorrow more snow & rain is in the forecast.

Today I have a cute card to share made using the Darling Donkeys set from SaleABration!

At first I did not care for this set because I have some of the older animal sets and never used them.

Then I started seeing lots of cute things done with them so I ordered them. Took me awhile to finally ink them up but now I am glad I got them! They make for some cute projects!

I decided to use this set to make a Thank You card since it's one card I really need!

I also used a fun fold called a Corner Fold which is new to me.

This style fold you use cardstock measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.

then once you burnish your cardstock you got to the right hand corner and measure down with a ruler to 3 1/2 and make a tic mark with a pencil. Then the top from the corner over you measure 3 1/2 and make another tic mark. Then you put the front of your card into the paper trimmer and score from one tic mark to the other and that creates your corner fold. Burnish that score mark down and decorate.

I decorated my corner fold flaps with 2 separate pieces that I diecut from the Ornate Borders Dies then added my donkey panel. I colored my Donkey with Gray Granite Stampin Blends and his face with Petal Pink Stampin Blends.

Card Details:

Stamps: Darling Donkeys (SAB 21), Curvy Celebrations (inside)

Ink: Memento Black, Bermuda Bay, Gray Granite & Petal Pink Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Oh So Ombre DSP (SAB 21)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Ornate Border Dies, Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Glue Dot, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I think this turned out to be a cute Thank You card and it will mail flat!

Hello & Happy Friday!

Today is the start of some very hot weather coming our way!

I think for the next week I seen temps in the upper 90's with high humidity.

I'm not at all looking forward to that and will be hibernating inside!

I have a busy day ahead with getting ready for my Stamp Day w/ Friends tomorrow morning!

I've got 5 projects ready for them and what better way to stay cool then to spend it friends stamping!

I will share those projects next week.

Today I have a set of quick & simple Thank You cards that my card lady ordered back in May.

Life got away from me back then so I am playing a bit of catch up!

I used Stampin Up's Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes to crank these out quickly!

The toughest part was running the delicate die thru the Big Shot and getting all those pieces out.

I used the Big Shot Die Brush (retired) to do that and it actually went very fast.

Card Details:

Stamps: Ornate Thanks

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes, Terracotta Tile, Ornate Garden Specialty DSP

Accessories: Ornate Borders Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

No ribbon or rhinestones added to these to keep them flat for mailing.

And if you know me, that is a hard task!

I love the bows and lots of bling!

The Ornate Garden Suite is a beautiful variety of products!

Lots of flowers which makes me smile!

Hope you like my quick Thank You cards today!
