a card a day in may - 5/5: THANK YOU

Hi, again! Happy Cinco de Mayo! And happy National Scrapbooking Day! Wow, it's a busy weekend, isn't it? :) Time for another A Card A Day In May post. This is an older one from way back, made on World Card Making Day. Some of you international friends might recognize this design as the one I used for my holiday cards. ;) It's quick and easy to duplicate multiple times, with any sentiment:


I love the Hero Arts Congrats set... very pretty frames with interchangeable sentiments. Just stamp it once on the card base in a tone-on-tone ink, and again in black ink on white card stock. Add your greeting, cut out just the frame, then adhere it with pop dots over the tone-on-tone frame image. I think I even embellished the tiny dots above and below with some gems or Enamel Accents :)

I really appreciate your comments...♥ Don't forget to leave me a comment HERE with your suggestion on what you'd like to see in a card making video, and you'll be entered into a drawing for some brand new Hero Arts goodies!

Thanks for peekin'. Hope you're enjoying your weekend. I'm going to go make myself a frosty margarita and head back to my scrap room... ;) See you tomorrow!

SUPPLIES
paper - Stampin' Up (Rust) & Georgia Pacific
stamps - Hero Arts CL488
inks - Stampin' Up and Memories black
other - black gems & pop dots

Love the red! I couldn't figure out a way I wanted to use that stamp set, this is perfect! I like the tone-on-tone flourish beneath the main sentiment :)
