Thank You So Much

 

Here we are--this is the Double Duty Day!  This is the 34th month, so we are getting to the end of year #3

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  We will post both cards on our blog on the the 22nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  We will be sure to have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

For October, the company we picked was Lawn Fawn. They really make some fun and cute stamps and dies.  Plus fun stencils and inks and many, many other crafty items.  I picked the sweet sentiment set called Magic Messages. The set has a number of cute sentiments, along with a few additional small images.  It also includes a matching circle die to cut out the image.   I also have two die sets that can be used as frames with the circle image.  I picked Stitched Sun Frame die.  

I picked the colors of cardstock and then colored the floral parts of the image to coordinate.  I die each of the thank you sentiments with the circle that comes with the stamp set.  For both cards, I used an embossing folder and the matching die.   I added ribbon to each of the cards and some enamel dots or sequins for the final touches. 

 

For the card on the left, I used an Altenew Crystal Wall 3-D Embossing Folder. The colors are fall related--Crushed Curry and Early Espresso.  The frame looks like a sunflower!  I added some yellow enamel dots and used Crinkled Seam binding for the ribbon.  

For the card on the right, I picked a Spellbinders Circle Illusion Embossing Folder. This time to colors are regal--Gold, Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow.  I added some gold sequins and Wine Organdy Ribbon

Again, both cards use a 3D embossed folder and the same Lawn Fawn Die set for the frames.  I colored both images with my Copic Sketch Markers and used the matching circle die to cut it out. 

I hope you enjoyed my cards for our group.  Please be sure to check out the other Double Duty cards. Here is a link to Jeanette's, Darlene’s  and  Carol's blogs.   I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of sets of great cards.  

Next month we are using Altenew--should be some cute cards.  So be sure to check out our cards on November 22nd!
