Happy Monday Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend and found some time to get creative. I went to a friend's house Saturday along with a dozen others and we baked cookies and made candy all day long. It was so much fun and exhausting all at the same time. I've never seen so many different cookies and candies! I may have even discovered a new favorite cookie!  I am in need of a thank you card for my friend for sharing her home and kitchen with all of us and that was my inspiration for my cards today.


I started by stamping the Blizzard Thank you greeting with SU Cranberry Crisp ink onto white CS, die cut it with a Fawn Lawn rectangle die and attached it to the Cranberry card base. The snowflakes were cut using a variety of dies from my stash. A sparkly rhinestone was added to the centers of the snowflakes.

Since I'll be needing more thank you cards this Christmas season I decided to make another, well actually several others using this same greeting. I think it's the perfect thank you greeting for this time of the year.  


Instead of die cutting snowflakes for this card, I stamped the Interlocking Snowflakes Background image with Stazon Red ink arranging them so they only covered the upper portion of the white panel. The greeting was stamped with the same ink. After die cutting with the same Fawn Lawn die, I attached the panel to a red card base.

These were quick and easy to create, so I will definitely be making a few more. Maybe I'll try some other colors.  Hope you like them. Thanks for stopping by today!

blessings,
shelia

Sounds like you had a wonderful Saturday! I'm wishing I could have a fun day like that too - but it certainly won't happen anytime soon :)

Love the thank you cards you made - the both look so quick and easy I don't have any excuse not to make and send them!
