American as Apple Pie

Now, that Christmas is over, it's time to make a few thank you cards. I used the F419 Sweetie Pie and D379 Apple Pie to create this all American thank you note. I didn't intend to go patriotic, I started by using some red gingham paper but it need something else to go with it so out came the blue.

I always think gingham needs some white eyelet lace so I added a lacy white border to the checks and then the blue border around the edges of my images and the center mat. This is the first time I've used a mat underneath the punched border. I think it's a neat effect.

I went to my patriotic drawer, Yes, I have a red, white and blue drawer of embellies. I keep everything sorted by color because it makes it easy for me to find the right embellishment for my cards. Anyway after sorting through for the right embellishment, I found these flowers and felt they had the country charm I was looking for so I added them to the corners. This left a large empty space in the upper right so I went to my red drawer and found these lovely red rhinestone flourishes, just the right thing!

U R My Sweetie Pie

Hello! Cheryl from Shestamps here.

Something about this stamp, Sweetie Pie (F419), struck my fancy as soon as I saw it . I originally was going to use red, pink and other Valentine’s day colors to make a traditional Valentine’s Day card but I decided that these homey papers from OA would work better. I added a few stickers so that it would say “U R my Sweetie Pie”.

Don’t forget about the Great Impressions Stamps Valentine’s Special. 10% off your order and free shipping on orders over $25, thru February 14th. Coupon code: LOVE.
