Work of Art Mini Thank You's

Okay, I know that title sounds conceited!  "My cards are a mini work of art!"



 But really, I'm talking about the name of one of our newest stamp sets from Stampin' Up!  One of three or four that demonstrators were able to preorder before the new Annual Catalogue came out.  It's called Work of Art because it consists of a number of brush strokes along with some sentiments.  And I used it to create some thank you cards for my customers:



  • I used the new In Colours for card bases and ink.  In this photo you can see Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss.  They are very rich deep colours and I think you will really appreciate their beauty when you use them.  
  • The DSP I used is from a Designer Series Paper Stack called Moonlight.  These are always great value as you get 48 - 4 1/2" X 6 1/2" sheets for only $8.50.
  • The sentiments are from the same stamp set, as is the heart.  I stamped the heart, and because I didn't want to have to cut out 30 of them by hand, I used the small heart punch to cut them out.  It is a smaller heart than the image, but it works.  I haven't tried the heart framelits to see if they would coordinate yet, but I will and I'll let you know.
Here are the three cards a little closer up:



I also made some with the other two In Colours, Mossy Meadow and Tangelo Twist.

Product Shares

Speaking of new products, do you find that there is more that you want than you can afford?  Would you like an opportunity to sample more of the paper and accessories?  Product Shares are your answer, and I'm offering quite a few of them!


Here's how it works:  I facilitate 4 or 5 people buying a variety of let's say, ribbon and then I divide the cost between them and split up the product evenly and mail or deliver it to each of them.  They get a greater variety of ribbon for a lower price.  

Here are the product shares I'm offering.  The first round closes Sunday, June 15.

Petal Parade of Mini Thank You Cards

One thing I really like to do is to design the little three by three mini thank you cards that I include in all my customers' orders!  I have such a good time with that small space.  This month, I decided to use one of the Sale-A-Bration Stamp sets, Petal Parade, and some of the Sale-A-Bration DSP, Sweet Sorbet, in the design.

  • I'm getting a lot of mileage out of the colour palette of the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper.  I especially like the Summer Starfruit, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party and Sahara Sand combination that I've used here.
  • At first I didn't like the flower images on Petal Parade, but now that I've used them together, I think that they work really well together, and when you use them all, you can create what looks like your own Designer Series paper!
  • The card bases are all 3" x 6" pieces of Summer Starfruit, scored and folded at 3".  Some have a middle panel of 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" Sweet Sorbet DSP.  Others have the same sized pieces of Sahara Sand polka dotted paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack.


  • I stamped the images from Petal Parade in Pool Party, Summer Starfruit and Crisp Cantaloupe on Whisper White cardstock.  
  • The sentiment from Lots of Thanks stamp set is stamped in Sahara Sand.
  • I added a Pool Party Candy Dot from the Subtles Collection, and a Tangerine Tango Candy Dot from the Brights Collection. ( There are no Candy Dots in Crisp Cantaloupe.) 


  • Not sure which of the two designs I like the best, but the Sahara Sand DSP gives much better contrast to the card.
  • These mini cards make great gift acknowledgements, or you can whip one up to thank a friend who has done you a favour.

Mini Thank You Cards with Happy Congratulations

This month I sent out some special  mini thank-you cards to my customers, because they contained my first ever Papercraft Cats Rewards Points!  These points were earned on all orders after Jan. 1, 2014 that totalled $30 or more before tax and shipping.  Every $30 increment earned a point, but orders could not be combined to reach that total.  When my customers reach 20 points, they will receive a $50 gift certificate from me.  Read more about Papercraft Cats Rewards Program here or click on "Rewards" in the top menu.

I wanted to use some gold tones in my thank you minis, so I got out my Encore Ink Pad and some new Watercolour Wonder Designer Washi Tape.  Here's what happened:


  • I'm really finding the Happy Congratulations Stamp Set handy!  I love the sketched image and the two-step stamping with the patio lanterns is a lot of fun to use.  Here I stamped the outlines and the sentiment (from Lots of Thanks stamp set) in StazOn Jet Black and the lantern stamp in Encore Gold Metallic Ink. 
  • The design at the bottom is a strip of the Watercolour Wonder Designer Washi Tape.  
  • The sequins are added as a trendy embellishment.




Here are some closer looks at the designs.  They were so much fun to make.
