Thank You note time!

With Christmas over and the new year almost here, it's time to get out some cute thank you cards to let people know how much I appreciated their gifts & thoughtfulness.

I wanted these to be simple & easy, yet still pretty (who doesn't want cards like that?!?) ... I also wanted them to have a winter color scheme, without being too "Christmasy" ... so here's one to help get your creative ideas flowing.

You can make it, too!
- Real Red base layered with Bashful Blue & Whisper White
- Pocket Silhouettes stamp (bet you never thought of this set as a winter/Christmas one before!) stamped with the coordinating Bashful Blue inkpad
- Real Red ribbon & Dazzling Diamonds glitter for a bit of a snowy feel.

I love love how using a few different pieces in coordinated colors makes a pretty card come together so effortlessly!

Have fun & Happy New Year!

<3, Kristi

Check out this neat gift idea I saw on Real Simple's website this morning!

What a cute, inexpensive & thoughtful gift to give someone for the holidays...

Sneak Peak! Elegant Joy

This is one of the cards for this week's Stamp Club. It uses the Delightful Decorations stamp set and punch on pg. 24-25 of the holiday mini catalog. It's a bit hard to tell in the photo, but the *joy* really shimmers with a subtle touch of Dazzling Diamonds glitter.


Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Order placed!

I am so excited to get the special new items I just ordered from this year's Holiday Mini Catalog! I have been dreaming about card ideas & gift tag ideas and am looking forward to making some beautiful (and very useful!) holiday items at our next Stamp Club meeting.

Thanks to everyone who placed an order after our stamp party- our stamps & supplies should be here next week. As soon as the much-anticipated box arrives, I will deliver your order asap!

I hope you're all having fun looking through the catalog. Please let me know if you have any questions.
