50 Thank You Cards - part 2

This is the second part of my 50 Thank You cards effort,

For  this batch I used the same pack of 6x6 patterned paper (I think it was one from MME)

Layout is the same for all the cards, just alternated the strips. If you would like to see a video how to cut up your 6x6 paper pad to make these easy cards  - you can find it on youtube here

Thank You sentiments are mostly from Stampin Up, for focal points I used random images I had colored some time ago, die cuts from my scrap box and some large butterfly and bird stickers

50 Thank You Cards - part 1

My daughter's friend asked me to make her 50 Thank You cards for adult males and females.
I had probably less than 10 in my stash so I went to work and this is the first batch.
I was watching Kristie Marcotte's videos about using up whole paper pads so I was inspired by them.

I used an older Bo Bunny paper pad  and choose images to fit the vintage feel of the paper.

and here is my card:

I used an older Stampin Up stamp set called French Foliage. Stamped the leaves on watercolor paper with Versamark, embossed them with white embossing powder and then played with inks in the background. I used some SU and some Tim Holtz inks. Then I just added more colored stamping and adhered the sentiment.
