ASSORTED BLANK NOTE CARDS


My mother enjoys sending cards (love that!), and I enjoy providing them for her. She prefers blank cards without sentiments, so I created an assortment for her for Mother's Day.  Today I'm sharing them with you! 


The above card features Stampin' Up!'s brand new stamp set--"Attention Shoppers"--and Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.  This fun stamp set has coordinating dies.  The shapes were first cut, then stamped, and then colored with alcohol markers.  As you can see in the photo below, I added a few sequins for a little dash of oomph.


The card below features Stampin' Up!'s new Eyelet 3D embossing folder.  The die-cut butterfly and jewel-colored heart were items that I had leftover from other projects.


In the photo below, you can see the shimmer on the heart that was added with Wink of Stella.


The card below was quite an eclectic mix of images, but I think they work well together with a clean and simple design.  And I love the colors!


There wasn't any stamping on the next two cards.  I put to use some card bases from a kit, a couple of die-cut rectangles, and pieces of fabric (with lovely torn edges) that feature lovely image transfers--basically, image rub-ons.  


Of course, I had to add some sequins that show up better in the photo below.


The last card features flowers that were colored with alcohol markers, the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, and sequins.


There were other cards included in the set that I've previously shared on my blog.  Overall, it was a really nice assortment of cards, and they were well-received.  

TIP:  When you're busy creating and change directions along the way, be sure to keep the components that you've already worked on.  You never know when you'll dig through the "rejects/unused" items and find that they are perfect for something else.

Have a stampin' good day!
