Thinking of you!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous day! I've been going crazy with scrapbooking and LO's lately so I thought I'd make sure that I remember to do some cards too!

This card has been planned in my gypsy for a while.  I used the welding feature to put the letters inside the tags, then I also cut the un-altered tag as well to use as a backdrop for them. This card's measurements are 5 x 7.

I used one of my fiskars boarder punches for the black strip across the top of the card. I also used my Creative Memories Chalking Ink (as seen in this past Friday Fav) in black to go around the tags to give them more dimension.

Finally a stamp from the My Pink Stamper Fabulous phrases set! I LOVE this set!

I'm finding that sometimes less is more and am really happy with the way that this card came out! Thanks for stopping by and all the continued support, it means so much to me!

Happy Crafting!

A Simple Thanks

So I find myself making more themed cards then anything when I make them, and thought "I need some more basic, sympathy, just because and thank you" types of cards, so I thought I'd get to it and show a simple and QUICK card that I put together to have on hand!

Please excuse the lighting I'm having issues lately!

This is a simple card using a pre-made card base picked up at Hobby Lobby 5 x 6.5 inches

The Patterned paper is from a fall matstack from DCWV (these fit almost perfectly on top of the pre-made card and only minimal trimming is needed)

The punch is a Fiskers picked up at my local JoAnn Fabrics this week ... and on clearance! I think I snagged this one up for 2.97! I kept the scrap of the punch and used it for the bottom of the card to make it a little more finished!

The pearls are adhesive backed and from the dollar section also at JoAnn Fabrics

The ribbon is a simple satin like ribbon purchased at Michaels. (I keep a lot of this kind of ribbon on hand as it's not too fancy and works well when you don't know what to put with certain patterned paper)

Finally the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper from the Fabulous Phrases set - LOVE that set!

I hope you like my VERY BASIC card! Per usual, I left the inside of the card blank so that anything can be written or stamped in when needed!

Thanks for stopping by & Happy Crafting!

A quick card!

Good Morning! Blogspot is pretending to like me this am so I figured I better pop up some pictures now before it changes it's mind! This weekend I crafted with some great ladies and wasn't in the mood, so I made cards and my Valentine treat boxes that I posted on the previous blog! This is one of the cards that I ended up making.  VERY quick and simple but the sentiment says it all!

The stamp is from Robyn over at My Pink Stamper and is perfect for this simple card!

The trick to black cards is to make sure you have something to write on in the inside ... I've done colored gel pens before to try to write on black and I smudge them ... everytime, so I used a Fiskers border punch to make a decorative insert to write on! The card size is the normal A2 and the minimal detail on the front will allow for normal postage (Remember when you  start to use square cards or those with extra embellishments the cost to send will go up because your local post office will have to hand process them!)

I hope everyone has a great day, and as always thanks for stopping by and following Crafting with Meg!
