Projects from Blog Hop

This was my first participation in a blog hop and I love to create but I am not very creative :0( so I hope you enjoy what I've come up with. 

This first little project is a set of Thank You cards.  I've come to the conclusion that our American culture has people thinking its ok to not write thank you cards as long as they "say" Thank You.  I may be in the minority but my mom insisted it was the right thing to do.  And in my older age, I agree.  It really tells the person who gave you the gift, that you appreciated it enough and their thinking of you to actually take the time to write and address a note! 

This project was so easy.  I bought the pre-scored note cards from Stampin' Up! and I only had to ink up the circle stamp once as I did the progressive stamping.  Not sure that's what you call it but that's how you get the faded look, just keep stamping until you run out of ink.  I used Marina Mist and the saying is stamped in Early Espresso.

Of course I stamped the envelopes as well and wrapped them up in a Marina Mist taffeta ribbon. Way easy and way cute!  Great Teacher Gift!!

This next project was using a Dum Dum sucker and SU! large and small scallop circle punch.  All I did was snip with a scissors between each scallop and shape with my hands.  I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock and Jolly Holly Designer Paper.  I cut the leaf out with my Big Shot in Certainly Celery cardstock and stamped the saying from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Old Olive ink.  I did use my crop-a-dile to punch the holes for the stick of the sucker to go through.  I didn't have to use any adhesive because with the sucker wrapper it was snug enough to hold it all together.  I think my DD and I will be making these for her classmates for V-Day!

And the final project is just a sweet little Valentine.  I made a 3x3 card with textured Whisper White cardstock and punched out 6 hearts, in Pink Pirorette, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise.  And I used the same inks for the saying.  I rounded the bottom corners with a corner rounder and Viola!  cute simple Valentine.

  Thanks for taking the time to looky lou!
