Ready-To-Assemble Thank You Card Kits ~ Homemade Cards...A Fast & Easy Way To Thank Everyone For Your Holiday Gifts!

I thought today I'd share some easy, ready-to-assemble, card kits called "Cut Above" (Thank You cards to thank everyone for the gifts you and your family received for the holidays). Each kit makes 10 cards and it comes with just about everything you need...you just need to add the stamp set "Victorian Gratitude" (M1131) (also ink and a 2X2 block if you don't already have these 2-3 items in your stash). The kits are great if you want to give out handmade cards but don't have a lot of time in your schedule. Check out how fast these cards can be put together! There are also a few other stamps you could buy (see the top link) to make them birthday cards or just a way to say "Hello".

Another Watercolor Painted Project!

I thought I'd share another notepad cover I made using watercolor paint. I love how easy it is to make your own designs and colors (see the last post HERE with some other designs). I used pieces cut from the Cricut Collection "Artistry" (Z3167) and the stamp set that comes with that collection. I just love making these!
