Happy Monday peeps! Hope you had a fabulous weekend! It's hot, hot, hot here in PA, but it is August, so it's to be expected. I don't think I have ever mowed so much grass in a summer before, especially in August. With the rain we've been having, our yard is like a jungle! Anyway, I managed to get in some stamping time over the weekend; I sold a couple of items on ebay lately and I always like to send a little card with the item. I usually just make a little 3x3" card but I wanted to do something a little special for this customer, as she purchased a vintage Pyrex bowl in a pretty turquoise blue. So she got this in her package:
I used the sketch from TGIF Challenges:
And my poor old eyes totally missed that swirly element at the top, so hopefully my embossing will be sufficient! I stamped the images from Perfect Mix and used my blends to color them in. The DSP is some retired Coastal Cabana from a few years ago, and I recycled a little piece of dark gray paper from something I received in the mail to make my scalloped edge! The little silver embellishments are the new Frosted Epoxy Droplets from the Holiday Mini....very cool!
And here's another little notecard I made, just using some scraps from my scrap bin, for another ebay customer who bought a needlework kit:
I am pretty sure the designer paper is from an old Cosmo Cricket pad, and the stamps I used are from Paper Smooches, a set called Needle Little Love! I stamped them on various scraps of DSP and colored them with Blends:
These are my last birthday cards to share!
This fun little card is from my creative friend Michele....that little bunny is on a bobble spring, so Cassidy really enjoyed making it wiggle!
And this little country gem is from my sweet friend Wendy...she knows my country-lovin' heart! Thanks, ladies!

We spent yesterday with family from Elizabethtown. How far is that from you? I think it's wonderful you sell on ebay. I don't know how to do that. Your thank you's were quite cute. Oh, and I love the bobble bunny...I would have played with it too :-)
ReplyDeleteEach one so clever LeAnne...love them all. So nice of you to include a card with eBay purchases...that dozen of eggs is so realistic.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, LeAnne! What perfect cards to go with each purchase! You're coloring looks great and I think the embossing makes a great swirl!
ReplyDeleteYour customers will be so impressed by your creative side, LeAnne! Your darling cards coordinate perfectly with their purchases!
ReplyDeleteLOve that little pin cushion … whose Mom didn't have one, right?
Happy to see you both liked my card... hope you're still celebrating!xx

ReplyDeleteThese are just perfect to tuck into their packages! I really like the first one and yes, I think the embossing is a wonderful take on the swirls!
