Girly Thanks for Paper Players #245

Hello there and Happy Sunday to you! This week at The Paper Players, the wonderful Jaydee is our hostess with a Clean and Simple (CAS) theme challenge: “Girly Thanks”. How fun is that? We all need thank you cards to send, so why not whip out your crafting supplies and join us this week?
For my card, I almost went WAY over the top with pink and sparkles but realized that I tend to do that a lot. I wanted to challenge myself to do something a little different and create my card for this challenge without using any stamps. I’m a patterned paper hoarder and have been trying to dig into the stash more often. So, I dug out my All Abloom Designer Series Paper (Stampin’ Up) pad, picked two complimentary patterns and got to work on my card.

I am seriously obsessed with the big, bold sentiments from the Hello You Thinlits Dies! The font is so fun and they really pack a punch on a card. Then I added a trio of layered butterflies, using the Bitty Butterfly Punch and dressed them up with some pearls. Again, I wanted to add a bunch of glitter to them, but restrained myself to try to keep this card somewhat CAS. The struggle was real though, let me tell you! :) The Strawberry Slush Baker’s Twine was a last minute addition. I just felt like the card needed “something” in that corner and ribbon would have been too much. The card stock colors on this card are Lost Lagoon, Strawberry Slush and Blushing Bride.
Please join us over at The Paper Players this week! 
The challenge will close Friday, May 22nd, 2015 at Noon (PST).

  4. Such beautiful colors together! I love the pink & green, especially those cute little butterflies! I am impressed that you didn't use any stamps, either....very creative, my friend! I do have to admit that my stash has been severely depleted this year, so I am looking forward to stocking it up again, LOL!

  8. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card Anne Marie!!! I am a fellow DSP hoarder and this is my favourite pattern in the All ABloom stack. I am also the biggest fan of the Hello You thinlits - so the two combined and all that pink make for the perfect girly card! Right - I'm off to pin and case LOL!

  10. Anne Marie, I love how you have showcased these papers! They are NOT my favorite, but seeing them with the pink makes me see them in a much better light! And you pink twine bow is perfect in that corner! And I love the four pearls on the butterflies, one slightly bigger-perfect detail!!
