Thank You New Zealand Style ...

I love to create personal gifts for my friend’s and family ...

Recently a lovely lady called Shelley from "Lees Grove Emporium", helped me with the purchase of the Fluidity Barre.

I made Shelley a “Thank You” greeting card, along with a matching framed piece of my artwork.

As a perfectionist, I was all set to send of my parcel of goodies, when I noticed an ink line across that framed piece, so of course had to remake it!!!

Being a proud New Zealander, along with the Card and Frame, I also gift-wrapped two blocks of Whittaker’s Creamy Milk Chocolate - oh YUM!!!

I wrap all my gifts with the plain brown packaging paper that Stampin’ Up sends in their parcels.

I then take a strip, in this case 3 strips, and emboss it.

The final touch is always butterflies with Pearls.

I hope Shelly enjoys her “Thank You” gift as much as I enjoyed making it!

“Thank You” Greeting Card and Frame + Chocolate ... DONE!

Thank You Card By Reilly {and Moi!} ...

We have some lovely neighbours, that had a surplus-to-requirements bike, and they kindly thought of our son Reilly.

Reilly is now whizzing around the neighbourhood on his new bike, and is even leaving for school on time!

This is a wee “Thank-You” card that Reilly and I made.

For this first time he used my Big Shot “Betsy The Beast”, I also have an second Big Shot that we use in Class, called “JorjaRose”!

What with a Bicycle being involved in this very generous gift, I chose to centre the card around a Penny Farthing, with a vintage shabby chic theme.

I tried a new idea out on this card, I placed the Antique Brad through the Very Vintage Designer Button, and I love how it turned how out.

Happy craftin',

Kathe.

Simply Sketched Thank You Card

Last week I had my VERY first Stampin' Up! Work Shop, and I decided to pop in with each order, this cute little Thank You card, featuring the “Simply Sketched” stamp set.

The card base is Naturals White, and the finished size 3”x3”, so cut cardstock at 3”x6”.

Stamped with Black StazOn, and hand coloured using the Aqua Painters and Blender Pens, and the Classic Stampin’ Ink Pad colours of Calypso Coral, Crisp Cantaloupe, Old Olive and Pool Party.

The finishing touch was the Corner Punch on the corners.
