Bright & Bold Thank You

Bright & Bold Thank You Thank You Card Ideas -Shannon Jaramillo Stampin Up

We’ve a little bit of overcast going on today so I chose to combat it with some delightfully spring-y colors that I found in a retired pattern paper from Stampin’ Up! – Painted Blooms. We need more Rose Red!

The Details:

  • Thick Whisper White Base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
  • Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper cut to 4″ x 5 1/4
  • Rose Red card stock cut to 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″
  • Thick Whisper White card stock cut to 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″

  • Stampin’ Up!’s Avant-Garden is the stamp featured today. It seemed to go well with the lines of the pattern paper. I masked the stamp in order to stamp three close together. The stems and leaves are stamped in Wild Wasabi (which is a less frequently used color for me but I LOVE it here!)
  • The Rose Red card stock and bow really make everything P-O-P! The ribbon is retired-love it when I can bash my stash!
  • I went a little crazy with the three dots – they are a stamp from Stamps by Judith and add the perfect finishing details 🙂

  • I again added Rose Red card stock on the side of the card as well the bloom from Avant-Garden, stamped off three times for just a soft image, perfect for stamping the sentiment over!
  • I just realized I forgot to take a picture of the front of the envelope, I stamped more blooms there as well and they are really pretty!

Thank you for stopping by today!!

  • Stampin’ Up!’s new Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies work perfectly with the sketch I chose to use today. I love, love, love the subtle detail they add to any project. I used three of the four sizes to create my four layers, using both card stock and designer series paper
  • I used my MISTI to stamp the flower images in Memento Ink Tuxedo Black on my focal layer as well as on a second piece of white card stock, and then simply die cut the flower shape out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies
  • I put sticky tape on the back of the 3/8″ White Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to my card front, snipping off the right side after I adhered it. I LOVE the subtle shine it provides!
  • The MISTI made quick work of positioning my sentiment – love the font!!

  • I used my Wisteria Wonder Stampin’ Marker and a blender pen to add color to my floral stem – easy peasy! – and left the stem uncolored for contrast
  • Enamel Dots are my fun and easy go-to for adding a pop of color!

Both the Avant-Garden stamp set I used here today and the 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon are both Sale-A-Bration items, which means they are available to get FREE – one item for every $50 spent!! What are you waiting for???

Inspiration for today’s card was provided by the fun sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches:

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I would love to hear what you think of today’s color choice! Love it? Hate it? I’m a Prince fan so purple is a ‘thing’ for me. It’s funny that I don’t decorate my house with it but when I buy flowers to plant in the garden? Always purple!
