Floral Thank You Cards

Hello Ai fans!!

Today I'm sharing two cards with you.

I've recently needed a LOT of thank you cards and these are two that I created.

For my first card I created sort of a "front and back" tag that I hung with a little black safety pin. 

The front has a flower from 5267 – Floral Invites.

The Thank You verse is from 5266 – Greenery Invites.

All of the circles on my card were made using 
5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies.

The two verses on the inside are from Art Impressions - Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set - Daisies.

The verse is stamped on

5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies.

For my second card I used 
Art Impressions - Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set - Cherry

as well as lots more of the stitched circles.

On both cards I fussy cut some of the smaller
images and popped them up on foam tape.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Make sure to thank people who are kind to you!

I will certainly be paying these people's thoughtfulness forward.

Screen Door with Ai Mini Dies!

Hello Ai fans!

This card popped into my head at the end of summer.  My husband and I needed to replace the screen on our sliding glass door.  We had a bear in our yard and our dog smelled it.  He leapt through the screen and took off. He was fine...the bear was gone in no time and we have an invisible fence that keeps our dog in our yard.  The screen didn't fare as well.

After cutting and installing our screen door we had left over screen.  I simply couldn't throw it out.  I wasn't sure why yet but then this card popped into my head. If I could co-install a real life door why couldn't I create one with cardboard and paper?  On the front I used two dies...the cat is from 5333 – Cats Mini Dies and the watering can is from 5336 – Garden Mini Dies.

When you open the door you see the kitchen counter and cabinet. On the counter and on the wall I used all of the dies from 5335 – Kitchen Mini Dies and I used the mirror to create my "stainless steal" pan from the 5334 – Salon Mini Dies.

The clock is from the new 5323 – MB Wall Accessories from the Matchbook series Bonnie just released.

When you open up the cabinet doors you can see the verse which is from Art Impressions - Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set - Daisies which is a Scrapbook.com Ai exclusive.

My screen door is very plain and boring.  Maybe someday I'll have a prettier, rustic one like this. One can hope!  Happy crafting!

Sending you sunshine!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a bright and cheery card made with the Art Impressions - Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set - Daisies.  I've used this set many times and always love it.  It's so fun.

On the tag for the verse I used one of the tiny flowers from the set and cut the stem off and it's cut using 5133 – Flag Double Stitched Dies.

Cards for Kindness with Art Impressions and Scrapbook.com

Hello Ai fans!

The next two weeks Art Impressions is pairing with Scrapbook.com for their Cards for Kindness initiative.  This is something that's very important to me.  Since the Covid quarantine began I have made 66 cards (including these) to send to people that I've never met.

For my cards I used Art Impressions - Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set - Daisies.

Here's How it Works

1. You send your handmade cards (blank inside - with no

personal message) to Scrapbook.com.

2. We organize and distribute the cards to cancer foundations,

hospitals, shelters, retirement homes, children's homes

and other organizations in need.

3. The cards are used by nurses, doctors, staff members,

counselors, parents and volunteers who add handwritten

messages of encouragement and love before giving them

to patients, children and other people in need.

For additional information, visit www.scrapbook.com/kindness

I made 12 total in 4 different versions. You need to make a minimum of 10 when you send them.  They can be one design or all different...just at least 10 total.

Check back in a coupe of weeks and you'll see another set of 4 cards I'm sending in with these.  These seemed feminine to me so I made 4 using the Ai Lighthouse Circlet that would be appropriate for men.

If you're able to help out so many people will be cheered by your work!

Have a sunshiny day!
