Just For You

Happy Friday everyone!  Every now and then I just want a little note card to put with a small gift.  A friend of mine was having a real tough work week and I wanted to let her know I was thinking of her.  This note card size is 3x3 and using a 12x12 sheet of cardstock, you can make a 8 cards without wasting any paper.  Stampin' Up! even sells little square envelopes that work perfectly with them.

For this card, I used mostly retired products I had on hand. So Saffron textured cardstock, Three For You stamp set, ribbon (I can't remember the name of).  But you could use the smooth cardstock, change out the stamp set and embellishment to make it work with the supplies you have on hand.

Just a simple, quick 3x3 card to let someone know you are thinking of them.  :)

ICON Foundation Card

I work for a large company that has its own foundation to help locals in need.  Its a great cause, and I've seen how it helps those who are struggling.  At Christmas time, they put together baskets and deliver them to people who have been having a hard time.  This past year, I offered to make handmade cards to go with the baskets.
I used their standard long postcard, cut out the bird logo and punched out the "from".  Of course the coordinating colors they use are retired SU! colors.  So its been difficult to keep up with this design.  Once I run out of those colors and can't find anymore, I'll have to re-design it to use other colors.
