Thank you for the thank yous.

September 23rd, 2009

So my daddy-o placed a custom order with me to make him a dozen thank you cards for some buddies that have helped him in the restoration of his “hot rod” car. He said he didn’t need them to be all manly or whatever, just to do what I usually do. So I did.

I cut all the “thanks” words with my lovely Pazzles machine. And I used my super duper Stickles to make some of them sparkly. I held back from using any PINK since they were for men! ha ha Here are half of them with close up shots of some of the details.

See those little 3-d dots above? Those are called Liquid Pearls (made by Ranger) and after seeing all the cool cards Jennifer McGuire is always making using these I was inspired to finally try them and I LOVE the way they look.

********************************************

I’ve had the above Tinkering Ink paper for a long time and didn’t really like it for a scrapbook page, but as soon as I put it on this card and blinged it up with my Stickles I loved it!

(Thanks above inked up with Lime Green ink and Stickles)

(blingage with lime green and baby blue Stickles)

(those self-sticking blue gems are from EK Success and I’ve had them for YEARS)

(just a bit of Stickles to the center of each flower……) That flower garland/ribbon is from a DARLING etsy store called Frog Feathers. How cute is that name?

*********************************

(those are Basic Grey gems in the flower middles that I got for a buck and they’ve my new FAVE thing!)

Here’s one in manly black and white. ha ha

See the puffy silver paint on the flower above the word thanks? That’s more of the Ranger Liquid Pearls (silver). I kind of like the effect. That pretty black and white daisy ribbon/garland thingie is from Frog Feathers again.

As you can see, I didn’t make ALL the “thanks” glittery. Those green buttons are also from Little Red Cottage on etsy. Doesn’t her name make you want to shop there? I love it.
