Marker Club Thank You Cards

     Did you know that the Stampin' UP! 2010-11 Idea Book & Catalog is FULL of wonderful ideas?  I CASEd this card straight from that catalog, page 111 to be exact!  I knew when I saw this cute mini thank you card, I wanted to make them for my Marker Club girls.

     The sample in the catalog uses textured card stock to make the envelope.  I didn't have any textured card stock, so I texturized my own card stock.  I used a Texture Plate (Backgrounds 1).  I used the Scallop Envelope Die to make the envelope.

     I measured the inside of the envelope to get the size card that will fit in it perfectly - 2-1/8 x 3-1/8.  I used the Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the stamp.

RECIPE:

CARD STOCK:  Old Olive & Whisper White

MARKERS:  Old Olive, Peach Parfait, Rose Red, So Saffron, & Early Espresso

STAMPS:  Pocket Silhouettes

TOOLS:  Big Shot, Scallop Envelope Bigz Die, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Pearl Basic Jewels, & Tombow Multi-Purpose Adsheive

Happy Friday!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

     ....everywhere you go:

  
     NOW, I'm getting into the spirit of Christmas.  I was not happy to hear Christmas music starting November 10th, and to know that the day after Christmas it will be gone, has me very sad.  Good thing  I have a wonderful collection of Christmas music :O)

     Anyways, I CASEd, (copy and share everything), this card from LeeAnn Greff, who CASEd it from Sherri Barron.  Each one is different, but the layout is the same.

     I don't have a stamp set with a wreath stamp, so I had to improvise.  I stumbled upon Ali, who used the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set to create a wreath.  I loved her idea so much, that I decided to try it to create the wreath on my door.

     Now, this was the first time I made this card, and I'm not really happy with the spacing I used for the door panels.  The next time I make it I will place the door panels closer to each other and put the door handle on the door instead of the door panel.  Other than that, I'm happy with how this card turned out.
