Thank you card gift set

Stampin' Up! Products
  • Cherry Cobbler cardstock

Other Products
  • White cardstock, or should I say not-so-white cardstock**
    • Card base measures 5" x 3 1/2"
I cannot remember where I learned how to make the flowers stand out.  I use an embossing tool to create depth in the cardstock flowers.  I will try to take pictures of each step and post a tutorial.

* Muirfield's coordinating cardstock colors are Bashful Blue, Old Olive, So Saffron, Rose Red and Whisper White.  I felt the Rose Red color in the DSP didn't match as well as the Cherry Cobbler.

** No brand-name or store-brand cardstock can't compare to Stampin' Up!'s Whisper White.  I had purchased ready-made cards with envelopes and I didn't want to throw them away.  NEVER again will I buy anything by Stampin' Up!'s Whisper White.

Ms. Frugal Stamper

I am very frugal when it comes to life in general.  I love all the Stampin' Up! products and use them in my papercrafting.

When I find a good deal, that I can't pass up...I think, "hmmmm how can I use these?"  I found a box of embossed Thank You cards and probably didn't pay more than $1.50 for 25 thank you cards and envelopes.

I created these cards from my Frugal Find....


 I covered up the embossed frame and thank you sentiment with Stampin' Up! products.   And took this....
added my own personalized label (see this post) and hid the embossed impression from the inside of the card.  (shhhh...don't tell anyone)

Personalized Labels

I make up "labels" for my card gift sets that I sell and use as gifts. I like to give the recipient the option of selecting their own sentiment. The choices of sentiments are: Thank You, Thinking of You, For You, Praying for You and Happy Birthday.

I create the sentiment, usually using the Word Window Punch and include them in the gift set. After punching out the sentiment, I apply clear adhesive tabs to the back. All the recipient has to do is select their sentiment, remove the blue liner (on the clear adhesive tab) and apply it to the card.  For an example of my choose your own sentiment gift sets, click HERE.

The problem was, how do I put instructions in the gift set without being lengthy? I created a file using Microsoft Publisher with the instructions (see example below) and using the Decorative Label Punch; I punch out an instruction label and place it inside the gift set.



I often mail a birthday card; get well or thinking of you to a friend. I leave the card unsigned and place in a label (like the one above) that says…..

This is a PIF card. PIF means Pay it
Forward. This card was intentionally
left unsigned so you can use it for your
personal use.

I have made a number of “labels” and they are so easy to create.

Would you like me to create personal labels for you that fit perfectly with the Decorative Label Punch? I will create a file and email them to you in a Adobe PDF format for $2.99 per design. All you have to do is open the file, print out the labels on a 8 1/2” x 11” piece of paper and punch out using the Decorative Label Punch. Each sheet makes twenty labels.

Another example of a label I created is:

…this is much more than a card, it’s a magnetic bookmark too!




Click on the Buy Now button and pay through Paypal. I will send you an email asking how you want to personalize your labels (once your purchase is complete).

Consider the Lilies

Every spring, the United Methodist Women (First United Methodist Church of Jasper) have a luncheon.  The theme this year was "Consider the Lilies."  Luke 12:27 reads, "Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these."

I enjoy making and giving party favors for the table that I host.  My special friends Gail C. and Barb E. were my guests.   I made everyone at my table a Post-it-Note purse holder and a miniature box of chocolates.  When I have time, I will post a picture of the Post-it-Note holder.
