Thank You, Thank You,

This is definitely a week where making cards by the dozen is a must!  We need them for birthdays, graduation, coach gifts, and Father's Day.  Lily needed "thank you" cards for four teachers and two coaches. Today I am sharing two of the thank you cards I made for her to give.   

I used last week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for my first card.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to post it before the deadline, but I do believe you should give credit where credit is due.  This card whipped up in no time at all with some Studio Calico papers!

Supplies:

Cardstock ~ Bazzill Smooth

Papers ~ Studio Calico

Stamp & Die Set ~ Hero Arts w/ Sizzix

Jute ~ American Crafts

Ink ~ Ranger

Although this is not a birthday card, I did get inspiration for this card using a sketch from Seize The Birthday.   Nothing fancy here! I stamped the sentiment down in the left corner and used my new sewing machine to stitch the layered stars onto the card.

Supplies:

Cardstock ~ PaperTrey Ink

Stamp ~ Hero Arts

Papers ~ Jillibean Soup

Ink ~ Ranger

I have lots more cards to share, hopefully this weekend!  

Have a great day,

Kate

Thank You X2

For the last 5 soccer seasons Lily has had the same supportive, push-you-to-your-best coaches, Christina & Kevin.  We can not say "thank you" enough to show how much we appreciate the time they have volunteered to coach the Red Thunder girls to be the best they can be! 

The tag in my first "Thank You" card was created by placing strips of washi tape on cream colored cardstock and die cutting the tag.  I honestly didn't worry about the strips of tape being straight.

The inside of the card reads "Thank you for teaching me to fly.... and to run, and to defend, and to win!"

Supplies:
Cardstock ~ Bazzill
Alphas ~ American Crafts
Die ~ Tim Holtz
Butterflies ~ Studio Calico
Tag ~ Jenni Bowlin
Glue ~ Helmar

My second "Thank You" card is based on last week's sketch from Elle's Studio. The inside reads "Thank you for always pointing me in the right direction."

Supplies:
Cardstock ~ Bazzill
Paper ~ Studio Calico, Heidi Swapp
Tag ~ Elle's Studio
Stamp ~ Creative Memories
Ink ~ Momento
Glues ~ Helmar

Simple Thanks

I posted these simple thank you cards on Scrappin' Sports & More's Blog this morning. I already had a project ready for my design team post, but had whipped these much-needed cards up this morning in no time flat.  10 minutes = No Time Flat!  Seriously faster than I would have been able to pick out three thank you cards in a store, let alone drive to one.  

What is even better than cute cards in No Time Flat?  Using scraps to create cards. The papers used in these cards are all scraps from other Scrappin' Sports & More projects I have done in the past.

Definitely going to make some more of these!
