Hi everyone!  I had my friend Diane ask, what type of sentiments do you put in these cards?  So I decided to show you how I picked the semtiments.

First, you'll want to gather any stamp sets that you have with sentiments.

The ones I used are, Layering Love #141965, Bunch of Blossoms #141573, Floral Phrases #142355, Suite Sayings #140712, and the new stamp/diecut set called Thoughtful Branches Bundle #144328 which can be purchased only thru the month of August.

Next, look at the words you put on the front of your cards and pick sentiments that you feel convey what they mean.

It's easy and a lot of fun!

Just check out my YouTube video and have fun!

If you have any questions or would like to place an order, please do through my website.  Thanks so much for your support!

I took all of my punches and punched out various shapes from the designer series paper.

Then I took a sheet of whisper white card stock and stamped it with the soft suede ink and the hardwood stamp.  Using the 1-3/4" circle punch, punched a boat load of circles.



Now start playing. Put little vignettes together. Add some ribbon, Layer the flowers.  Add a butterfly, some leaves, thread, paperclips, etc.  I pop dotted the flowers on the circle to give more dimension. Then add words for the Little Thoughts.



Then I took whisper white card stock and made card bases that measure 5-1/2 by 4-1/4.  Using the gorgeous grunge stamp set and the in color inks, I stamped a background. Then I adhered the little thought vignettes with pop dots.



WARNING!   Making these little thoughts are ADDICTING!

I just can't stop and you won't either!
