Yellow Flower Card

Hey all,

My supervisor at work is leaving us to become our curriculum coach. So luckily we'll still see her and she will have more time with her grand daughter and less stress. She loves the color yellow as well as sunflowers.

I made her this thank you card:

I created this card by cutting out the yellow and black scalloped pieces, the "thanks", and the sunflower with my Silhouette Cameo. I cut the red piece to fit a 5X7 card base and rounded the corners. I used an embossing folder to emboss the swirls onto the yellow piece. I used a strip of pink striped decorative tape at the bottom of the embossing and a black and red piece of ribbon in the center on the decorative tape. I distressed the edges of the sunflower with wild honey distress ink, attached that to the ribbon, and added a brown button in the center. I attached all the pieces to the card base and glued the "thanks" above the embossed swirls.

I left the inside blank so my co-workers would have plenty of space to write their thanks and appreciation.

I will be entering these challenges:
Card Mania - Buttons
Creates and Makes - Anything Goes/Use Yellow
Sparkles Monthly - Embossing Wet or Dry (Dry)
Mixed Media Monthly - #34 Buttons

Have a fun day!

Purple Flower Card

Hey all,

There is a sub at my work that has been working in our kitchen getting breakfast and lunch ready for us. She is a wonderful lady. She is leaving us because they have hired a person for the position. My co-workers and I wanted to thank her for all her work.

I made her this thank you card:

To make this card, I cut a 5.5 inch by 4.25 inch dark purple rectangle to cover the front of a pre-made base, a 5.25 inch by 4 inch light purple rectangle, and a 1.5 inch by 4 inch dark purple strip. I cut out the light purple circle and dark purple scalloped flower with my Silhouette Cameo. I embossed the light purple rectangle with a flower embossing folder I have. I attached the dark purple rectangle to the base card, the embossed light purple rectangle on top of that, added the dark purple strip near the bottom, and put a strip of decorative tape in the middle of the dark purple strip. I stamped thank you onto the circle and glued that onto the scalloped flower. I attached that to the right side of the strip.

I left the inside of the card blank so people had plenty of space to write in it.

I am entering these challenges:

Flower Heart Card

Good Evening,

I have two friends from college that are getting married in a week. I thought a card with hearts would be nice. This is the card I decided to make:

I embossed the background with a balloon heart like embossing folder. I stenciled on a heart to use as a guideline for the punched out flowers. I punched out flowers in dark blue, light blue, dark purple, and light purple. I chose these colors because they are my friends favorite colors. I glued the flowers onto the heart guideline in a color pattern. I used gold stickles in the center of each flower.

Next, I stamped a frame and the word "Congratulations" into the frame. Finally, I added some decorative tape along the bottom of the card.

For the inside:

I used a simple stamp saying "Wishing you a special happiness on this special day."

I will be entering these challenges with this card:
