Thank You

Thanks A Latte

| ullycatdesigns

I always need Thank You cards and coffee, so what better way than to combining the two into some cute cards.

I used the Concord & 9th Coffee Blend Turnabout stamp set and coordinating dies for these two Thank You cards.

The inks that I used were from Stampin’ Up – Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider and Real Red.

Kindness Personified – A Thank You Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made using stamps and dies from the February 2025 Scrapbook and Cards With Love event. I designed this card before the event as a thank you card.

Cardbase:  Cut a 8.5×5.5-inch rectangle from white cardstock. fold to make a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card base. Cut a 4.25×5.5-inch rectangle of white cardstock and emboss it using the brick stencil.

(Use the embossing sandwich for a die as recommended for your die cutting machine.) Then glue the brick panel to the front of card.

Coffee Cup:  Stamping the coffee cup on a lightweight white cardstock in red ink. Stamp the dots on the lower half of the cup also in red. Using a blending brush and stencils, color in the handle and shade the top, sides and bottom of the cup leaving most of the center white. Die cut out the cup. Adhere to card front using thin foam squares (or one layer of foam tape.)

Flowers:  Stamp the floral bouquet onto lightweight white cardstock and color using the stencil set and sponge daubers to color with Distress Inks. Die cut out the bouquet. Adhere to card front using thick foam dots (or two layers of foam tape.) Add highlights to the bouquet with a glitter gloss pen.

Sentiments:  Die cut the “You are” from dark purple and its shadow from white. Glue together.  Stamp on the inside “kindness” in black and “made with love” on the card back in red.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.24×5.5-inch) envelope with flowers stamped on the back flap.

A Jungle Postage Stamp Thank You Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for Craft Roulette #240 whose parameters included a card for a helper, cereal box colors, jungle element, and a paper sack.

I choose to make a thank you card with a paper sack for an itty-bitty gift, stenciling tropical flowers and a large moth that you might see in a jungle. (Please note that after I completed the process video, I decided to add some cancellation stamps to the front of the card. So they are not mentioned in the video, but they are Waffle Flower stamps.)

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase:  Cut a 5.5 x 8.5-inch piece of white cardstock and fold in half to form a 4.25×5.5 top-fold A2 size card.

Sentiments:  The front sentiment “Cheers to you” is from a BetterPress plate and die set while the inside foiled “Thank You” is a Spellbinders Glimmer plate die cut with a Waffle Flower Postage Collage rectangle die. The “Itty-bitty gift stamped on the paper sack is from the Craft Roulette Stamp set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope with an extra moth stamp on the back flap.

A Gardening Card

| ullycatdesigns

Sometimes you just need to go all out to say thank you to someone. This is one of those cards. It uses dies, stamps and stencils by The Greetery.

I designed this card to unfold and interact with the recipient in layers. First you open the gardening gloves gatefold flaps to reveal the gardening tools. Next you pull the ribbon up to reveal a personal message, but there are also good wishes underneath the slider easel.

Cardbase: Start with an 8 1/2 x – inch rectangle of white cardstock. Score and fold at 2 1/4-inches and 6 1/4-inches. These will be the gatefold flaps.

Sentiments: The stamped sentiment under the slider easel says “May your days be always in bloom.” I comes from the Always In Bloom stamp set. The “Way to Grow” on the envelope flap in from the In Spades stamp set. The Pull and arrow on the CRX tag giving directions on how to open the card, are from a Trinity Stamps set.
