Monochromatic Thank You Card Set



Photo is missing the Berry Burst Card )


I remember when I signed up to become a an Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrator July 30, 2017 (Hard to believe it has been 7 months). I did not have too many Stampin' Up Supplies to work with. That's where the idea for this set of cards comes in. Maybe you don't have a lot of supplies either and I hope this will give you an idea to use what you have. I used one flower stamp (you could use a butterfly or whatever you have), one sentiment (I used Thank You but you could use any sentiment), one ink pad, a marker, a sponge and 3 pearls, whisper white card stock and a 1/2" strip of daffodil delight and adhesive. 
You don't need to have everything to make something, I had no ribbon to match the card I was making for my first class. I used a strip of matching colored card stock. It's a matter of just using what you have available.
Today I also made this card in Cherry Cobbler, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate and Berry Burst or you could make six of one color. Stamp a flower inside the card, add a flower or two to the envelope to tie it all together and you have some nice cards to send out to friends and family or package it nicely and give as a thoughtful from the heart gift to someone special.
