Oh So Eclectic! Customer Thank you Cards

Oh So Eclectic Watercolour Thank You Cards



I chose the Oh So Eclectic Stamp set for my Customer Thank You cards for September.
There are so many pretty stamps in this set it was hard to choose which one to use, but I wanted to make a clean and simple watercolour card and this little flower fits the bill perfectly.

The card base is Pear Pizzazz with a layer of Rich Razzleberry

I stamped the flower in Black Memento Ink onto Watercolour paper and then simply water coloured using an Aqua Painter (water filled paint brush) and my Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. The stem is coloured with Pear Pizzazz ink.

I repeated the stamping inside in Rich Razzleberry Ink.

I'm very thankful to all my customers who order with me and I thought the "You're So Lovely" sentiment was perfect for this card. I simply stamped it in Pear Pizzazz ink onto a piece of Whisper White card and layered it onto Rich Razzleberry.

Dandelion Wishes Thank You Cards


Just stamps, ink and paper


Thank You Cards using Dandelion Wishes stamp set


Just a quick post today, I wanted to share these cute little 4 x4 cards I made for my customer thank you's for July. Such a pretty stamp. I have paired it with the Thank You Very Much from the Bunch Of Blossoms stamp set. It has such a lovely font, you could use whatever you prefer.  I have stamped in Night Of Navy. It is less harsh than black and goes well with the Daffodil Delight card base. 

They are so easy to make and so pretty. Great for making batches of cards. I had sent almost all of them out before I remembered to take a picture of them!

Water Colouring at Coffee and Cards

Love What You Do!




I have used this stamp set so much for "stepped up" cards. I love the flower image so much. If you look on Pinterest or You Tube you can find a TON of examples. What I hadn't realised at first was that this was also the perfect set for a clean and simple one layer card! And thus perfect for Coffee and Cards.



This card is perfect for beginners or those just building their supplies. It uses one Stamp Set, a Memento Black ink pad , a little water spritzer and three Stampin Write Markers. Add in your card base and layer and that is it!



I have used the back ground stamp in the set to colour onto in three horizontal stripes using the three different colour markers, spritzed lightly with water and stamped onto the Whisper White card stock. Leave until dry (just a few moments) and then stamp the flower image and sentiment in Memento ink over the top. It creates a lovely water colour effect behind the flowers.

The ladies made some beautiful cards!



All that is left to finish it off then is to add a little of the same colours to the petals.

Don't forget to stamp on your envelope too. None of my ladies send cards with naked envelopes these days 😀Though I did forget to snap a pic of their envelopes.

It's great to demonstrate a beautiful card using just a few products - you don't have to own everything to make something gorgeous especially when Stampin Up make everything to match.

Here are all the products we used to make the card with clickable links to my online shop




I use more products and demonstrate techniques at my Monthly class to make more "stepped up" cards. Here are a couple of examples using the same stamp set .
