Thank you

Good morning blogland,

So here I am with my first Sweet Stampin' Challenge of 2025 and the theme this time is 'Thank you cards' - hence the title of the blog post! As always with Sweet Stampin' this is a 'for fun' challenge so no prizes on offer but do please use a stamp (digital or rubber) somewhere on your project and follow the theme.

I figured for Thank You cards you either go into a total one-off unique really heavy on the personalisation side or you go mass-production.  So, as I don't have any particular person to thank, I went mass-production.  I'm not saying these were really quick cards to make, but they were pretty easy. 

I used the stencil with Distress Inks to create a background, which I then stamped the sentiment directly onto, die-cut it and mounted onto black card and then onto the card blank.  Stamped (from the same set) a sentiment, die-cut that, foam pads on the back to 3d mount it, add some gems and viola! Straight forward and easily repeatable in as many different colours as you have Distress Inks (other background creating inks may be used :-)!)

Here's the card:

Supplies used:

Rubber stamps:

Altenew - Mega Greetings : Thanks for everything

Dies:

My Favorite Things - Fishtail Foundations

un-branded stitched rectangles

Stencil:

Honey Doo Crafts

Anything else:

Distress Inks

blending brushes

self-adhesive gems

You may also note that although I used my favourite 5x7 top-fold card blank, I turned it on it's side.  Added a bit more interest and worked better with the absolutely huge sentiment stamp!

Why not pop on over to the blog - my Teamies have made some wonderful cards which I'm sure will inspire you!

Aaaand that's it from me, folks - see's ya soon!
