Sketch #281~ Blended Seasons Stampin UP

 I want to give a big warm welcome to my newest blog follower.  This is  exciting❕  

 

I'm so happy you decided to sign up and follow my blog.  💛

 I'm actually writing this before I have my card ready for the challenge today.  With that being said though I did make 30+ little thank you note cards.   They are very simple but I wanted to make sure my customers know how much I appreciate them.  I don't have a highly lucrative etsy shop.. But I LOVE it.  In fact a woman came over today and bought 4 of my cards.  That made my day. 😊 I even ordered myself some business cards.  I will take a picture when they come in.  I had some old ones, but it didn't give enough information, and yet to much info. as in I included my phone number.  Oh well, chalked up as lessons learned.   The actually reason I'm writing this first before the card making is so I don't forget to mention.. I have been searching for a stampin up set called Thoughtful Branches with the matching framelits.  OH MY word, I came across this set and fell in love with it.   I must have had my eyes closed when I looked through that catalog, I'm thinking it was a couple years ago already.  So I tried searching on ebay, and lost the bidding war, perhaps it's not meant to be.  However, I will keep looking 😉 

This card features some lovely paper I bought at "dollar" section at Target.  It was really three dollars, but it's pretty nice paper.   I used the stampin up set called blended seasons.  After stamping the leaves I cut them out, and tried to place them nicely in the oval, it looked a bit plain to me so I added a few die cut leaves to the side. 

I will be submitting this card to the challenge at: 

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I hope you get a change to submit a card.  They have fabulous sketches.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping.
