One Stamp Set Thank You Card

Tonight I designed my cards with using only one stamp set and one ink pad. Many times people are leery about stamping because of the cost, but as I explain to them stamping is as expensive as the artist makes it. So, I have designed two cards tonight one that is simple and the other one I kicked it up a notch.
Card A Details: Cardstock: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, and Vanilla.
Stamp Set: Heartfelt Thanks Ink: Certainly Celery.

This is my kick it up a notch card
Card B Details:Cardstock: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, and Vanilla.
Stamp Set: Heartfelft Thanks Ink: Certainly Celery
Accessories: Mat Pack, Certainly Celery Wide Grosgrain Ribbon, and Rhinestones
Technique: Paper Piercing.

Once again I used very minimal supplies to make these two wonderful cards.

Out Of My Box

I love using designer paper but I rarely use the front and back sides together on one card and then mix n match. This is why I have titled by card design out of my box. It is good sometimes to move from our comfort zone and although I still kept it simple I did use a different design with the designer paper.

Card Details:
Stamp Set: Lovely As A Tree
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Ultra White and Wasabi Prints Designer Series Paper. You can earn this particular designer paper free if you host $150.00 workshop.
Accessories: Old Olive and Chocolate Chip Markers, Chocolate Chip Poly Twill Ribbon(Occasions Mini), and dimensionals
