More Thank You Cards

Hubby needed a couple more cards so I used another MFT background set--this one is Diamonds & Dots Border.  Not sure why my Kaleidacolor pads are neglected until Fall every year--they are beautiful, don't you think?  These 2 are Luau & Autumn Leaves which I stamped on ivory cardstock.  The kraft cards are stamped & clear embossed with the same image. As you can see, I stamped one so the colored panel lined up & one that makes it off-set.  The sentiment from MFT On The Line is stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa. Simple design, but I like the look & no extra postage needed!  I'm entering the challenges at The Kraft Journal, SSS Wednesday & SSS Work It Wednesday. I always appreciate your taking time to visit my blog.

A Magenta Valentine

I tend to put off getting cards made for monthly challenges--seems like there's plenty of time. Now, of course, here it is almost the end of February & finally finished my card for the Magenta monthly challenge.  When I began stamping over 15 years ago there were several stamp stores near me & they carried Magenta stamps which I immediately fell in love with.  I've had trouble making cards with this beautiful heart stamp, so this time I decided to let the stamp stand alone.  After white embossing on kraft cardstock I simply added red glitter using my trusty Sakura Quickie Glue pen. The card front is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder & I was finally able to use this red polka dot ribbon.  
So glad to have another Valentine ready. Maybe I'll get them all mailed on time next year!  I'm also entering the Anything Goes challenges at SSS Monday & SSS Wednesday.  Luckily, The Kraft Journal   doesn't count the card itself as a layer so I'm entering the CAS One Layer Card challenge.  I so appreciate your visit & comments--thank you!
