Heart of the Thank You Card

Welcome to my blog.  I'm here today with cards for two different occasions each featuring an exquisite chipboard design by Creative Embellishments. 

Today I am  presenting the Creative Embellishments Heartbeat Border and

Creative Embellishments Oval Frame.

My first card is extra special - made for an Aunt who recently had open heart surgery.  

What could be better and more appropriate than the Creative Embellishments Heartbeat Border.

You can see below how cool and unique this chipboard piece is.  It's also a large 12in long border piece so it can be used on a layout, project, or cut into pieces to fit cards and tags. 

I embossed the border using Stampendous - Frantage Aged Ivory Embossing Enamels  and then backed each heart with a piece of lace.  I was fortunate to find lace that had hearts (thanks Hobby Lobby). 

Here is a dimensional look at the Heartbeat Border.  I love the finished piece.

My paper choice for these two cards is Stamperia Dream 12x12 collection.  

This is the second card.  It's a "thank you" card for my Aunt who helped with a graduation party I recently hosted.  Not the same aunt with the open heart surgery, mind you.  

This also uses Stamperia's Dream  paper collection.

I used the Creative Embellishments Oval Frame for the card embossed with 

Stampendous - Frantage Aged Rose Embossing Enamel.

The frame is quite large and perfect for a photo on a layout  - but I opted to have it highlight my sentiment on the card.  

Thanks for stopping.

Relax and Recover - Get Well Card

Today I am presenting a  get-well card made from Maja Design's fabulous  Denim & Friends collection.

This collection is one of my favorites for layering.  The patterns and florals combined with the blues and soft browns in this collection make this versatile for both men's and women's cards. 

These are the papers I used from the collection:

Summer Shirt

Stonewashed

Paisley

This is a closer look at the layers of the card as well as the sentiment. 

I added a piece of fun foam under the sentiment piece to give a little volume and dimension. 

The sentiment stamped with a warm chocolate colored ink using a new stamp from JustRite Papercrafts.  It's a newly released set, JustRite Get Well Soon Sentiments.  
And it covers any an array of get well wishes.

Here is an image of the stamp set from JustRite. 

Maja Design has introduced a solid collection to coordinate with the Denim & Friends collection.  It's called Monochrome - Shades of Denim and it is a set of solid colors that are custom selected for the Denim & Friends papers.

One last view of the complete card. 

Have a wonderful day.
