Thank You Cards

Harriet thank youGood Monday Morning to You!  It is a beautiful morning here in WI…sunshine…sunshine…and more sunshine!  Makes the heart happy.  We had much rain over the past week and now I’m hoping to get my laundry caught since I can hang it on the line!  This week will feature an old item..printed vellum.  I pulled some out of the cupboard the other day and went to work.  This purple is a new purple from The Paper Cut called Basis Purple.  I really like it.  I’m going to post a picture of the embossing folder I used.  It is one of Cuttlebugs…been out for a while but it has a great feature to it.  If you’ve noticed some of your folders having a slot on the folded side the next picture will show you why.

emboss folderReally only works with Steno Cards.  A steno card is an 8.5×11 paper cut at 4.25″ on the short side so that you have a card with the fold on the top side of the card.  You can also put the card so it’s short and long!  Does that make sense. It’s scored at 5.5″ With these folders you can emboss the entire front of the card.

Thank You to KB for posting last week since I was really busy!  We made it home at 2 am on Monday morning from Collinsville,  IL.  We had an uneventful trip.  Those are the best kind!

I have promised everyone that I would make samples with the new CottageCutz dies that we are carrying in our booth!  I love the detail to them.  Here’s the first one…a simple butterfly.  This card also has one of Cuttlebugs new embossing folders.  I might challenge myself this week to use it on every card…we’ll see how it goes:)

We have a few weeks of rest before the Milwaukee, WI show on September 22 & 23rd at the State Fair Grounds.  Visit http://www.rubberstampevents.com for more information.  We really won’t be resting…Kevin is putting a new dishwasher in today.  In the morning we plan to start on a deck in the back yard.  Our back yard is a mess and we just need to clean it up a bit!  Maybe I’ll take some before and after pictures!
