Many Thanks

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. I have been really busy - I am moving my studio into another room in the house and I've been painting, tearing up carpet and moving what feels like every piece of furniture in the house. It has been a lot of work and there's clutter everywhere. I am relatively settled now and at least have a craft space I can work at. I also have a craft show this weekend that I am preparing for, so I've been trying to squeeze that in as well. Hopefully I will be able to keep updating!

I am making a few card sets for the show and I thought I would share a few cards from the set of thank you cards I am making. It is a set of five 4-1/4 inch square cards. They all follow the same theme - handstamped patterned background paper and Very Vintage Labels No. 4.

The recipes for each are below, but I went right to Off Beat Backgrounds from Waltzingmouse Stamps for a few of my patterned papers.

Using the chevron from Off Beat Backgrounds:

Using the polka dots from Off Beat Backgrounds:

And finally, using Fancy Flourishes and Background Basics: Text Style II from Papertrey Ink:

What do you think? These were really fun to make - nothing like stamping your own patterned paper. I will share the last two of the set tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by - I hope you have a great day!
