Of the Earth- Thank-you

It is funny how things you see stay in your mind, I saw a card that colored the image I used here pretty much the way I did here, it was also stamped over a phrase, I thought I had seen the card last week, and I wanted to give credit to my inspiration, I thought I had seen the card on Diana Gibbs blog but I couldn't find it. After researching I found the card. I was right it was Diana's card, she posted it in January, that is why I couldn't find it, I wasn't going back far enough!

My card is one of the card we will be making in my folds class on March 30, so if you want to come make it e-mail me and let me know.

The card base is So Saffron. On Whisper White I stamped the gratitude from Define Your Life with Close to Cocoa, I used the butterfly image from Of the Earth, coloring it with markers and stamping it over the definition. I used Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive to mat the image.

The Thank you is from Thank you Kindly, I used the Large Oval punch as well as the Oval die and the Big Shot, the butterfly is from the Beautiful Wings embosslit.

Of the Earth- Clean and Simple

The card base is Kraft, the first image is Mellow Moss on Mellow Moss attached directly to the base. then Ruby Red on Ruby Red on dimensionals, last Not Quite Navy on NQN this one has 2 layer of dimensional on 3 corners but only1 on the top right corner. This card could be stamped as a Thank-you card, a Birthday card or left as a plain Note card.

3 of My Kids made cards

I had empty spaces on my sample board and my 13 & 15* year old sons volunteered to help fill it they talk my 22 year old daughter into helping(she doesn't even enjoy crafts).

The first card was made by my 13 year old and I was impressed with his work(I suggested the designer paper when he was trying to decide how to finish the card) he used Loads of Fun.

My 15 year old (with the cutting talents of his sister and some advice) made the second card he used paper from the sweet pea designer pad(a piece I didn't care for) I ended up liking the card. My 13 year did the third with scraps that were in the scrap pile stamp set is Of the Earth.

4th card is another by my 13 year old it didn't live up to his hopes. He used Pun Fun and Sanded. The last card was by my daughter and she says it is why she doesn't do crafts. She used Vintage Vogue.

* My daughter said this needs more back story so that you really understand the cards. My 13 year old was grounded, no friends, TV, computer, or x-box. It was his idea to make the cards because he was bored, the 15 year old asked if he could put Lego on the card he made, all he does is build Lego things, he even made the newspaper because the group he is a member of (ULUG) was part of the train show at Thanksgiving Point in Utah, oh he makes movies with his friends as well... my daughter says "I am a Science major we don't do crafts" So you see the fact that some of these turned out pretty good is amazing. The photo is "team Awesome" Oh my daughter also says "Glitter is the cancer of the stamping world".
