Hello my friends!
I trust you are having a wonderful day ... well at least I hope you are!!
While doing my DT commenting over at Shelly's Images, I came across a post by a crafter named Regan and her blog name is Charmed Stamping. I saw THIS particular post and just fell in love with the wonderful gift of thank you cards she had created so just had to stop what I was doing and make a few (similar) for myself. Please be sure to pop on over to Regan's blog and check out her bridal card & gift set ... I think they are awesome. And when you do, please let her know you heard about it here ... thanks!
Here's the set I made ...
It's really quite a simple card to make but I just love how they look!
Now, as you will see, Regan did some coloring and a fancier edging on hers ... but the basis is the same and I'll be making more for my upcoming craft show. Of course the inside has a white panel for a note to be written but I just LOVED the black & white basic design.
What do you think?
Okay ... guess I'd better finish my commenting duties! I just had to quickly create & share this with you. Isn't it awesome how we are inspired by each others creativity! I love blogging!! LOL!! (That's probably why nothing else gets done around here ... ooops did I say that out loud!)
