Thank you cards

For a swap a Thank you card. Not much to chat about today. I had to make one card, but once in the mood I created two Thank you cards. The flower on the first card is created with circles; something I saw on the internet and figured out how to make it. This is my version of it. I used two Cuttlebug embossing folders and a Spellbinders die cut to make the butterfly. Foam tape keeps the upper wings of the butterfly from laying too flat on the card. The patterned paper is doublesided. I played with the patterned paper and made a fold in the left upper corner. The greeting is an clear stamp from American Crafts stamped on card stock with Stampin' Up inkpad and I used foam tape to alter the greeting. Here are pictures. Enjoy!

For my second card I used Stampin 'Up card for the base card, a Marianne Design embossing folder. It makes nice cut in the paper too. I added ribbon, two pearl stones, a freebie digital stamp and a freebie tag saying "Thanks a Latte". The cat is stamped on GinaK card stock and I coloured the image with my Copic markers. I also used foam tape to pop up the cat. Colours I used: E31, 33, 39, RV21, 23, W3.
