Creative Inking Blog Hop: Thankfulness

Welcome to The Creative Inking Blog Hop!  Whether you are joining in from the fabulous Lori's Blog or if this is your first stop,WELCOME!  I am so glad to have you stop by The Creativity Cave!  Our theme this month is Thankfulness and while I could have done a lovely Thanksgiving themed project, I felt it was time to break out some flowers and do a little THANKFULNESS Gift-Giving card making….Does that even make sense? 🙂 LOL!

I think nothing screams true appreciation like a Hand-made gift!  There is just something wonderful about giving a gift that you've made–and its a true sign of your appreciation for the recipient to enjoy such a wonderful token of your gratitude!

Gather Your Supplies: 

• Thoughtful Banners and Crazy about you stamps
• Medallion and Banner Duet Punches
• 1/2 Sheet of Smoky Slate
• 3 7/8 x 5 1/8" Bermuda Bay (also used Pool Party, Sweet Sugarplum, So Saffron and Wisteria Wonder)
• 3 3/4 x 5 Whisper White plus scraps for punching banners
• Envelopes
• Cello Bag
• Ribbon
• Tag Topper Punch

So I started with this beautiful card–I used the Thankful Banners (see–THANKFUL is even in the name of that one!) and Crazy About You –for the flower and just created the background with Smoky Slate ink.  I then punched a stamped flower and a plain flower using the same ink and cardstock and embellished it with a little Silver Metallic Thread.  If you wanted to change things up a bit with a "warmer" color pallet, use Crumb Cake for your card base and some coordinating warm colors such as Peek A Boo Peach, Calypso Coral and Island Indigo among other colors!

These are super cute together!

Add a tag and put them in a cello bag and you are all set!
