July Customer Appreciation

I mentioned the other day that I have very little time to craft these days.  I do make time for my monthly swap and I absolutely make time for my customer appreciation cards!  I really like the card I made for July.  It is really simple, but I think it's a WOW just the same.   

I was sad when the Itty Bitty Accents punches retired -- my go-to flower was in that set.  However, the Tree Builder has the perfect replacement for small flowers!!!

Grateful for You

Although the stamp set and cardstock for this card are retired, I still had to share my Customer Thank You card for those who placed orders or subscribed to My Paper Pumpkin with me in April.  I appreciate my customers so much and I love to thank them each month with a hand-stamped card as well as provide them with a PDF tutorial to recreate the card if they choose to do so.  Just something to let them know how much they are appreciated! 

 

I really love how this little card turned out.  Very easy to create, but still so adorable!

Another Thank You for My Customers

I'm a little late posting my March 2016 Customer Appreciation Cards (although I did mail them on time)!  As I've mentioned before, my life is a bit crazy right now and will be over the next few months.  I can't believe I will be a first-time Nana in less than 6 weeks!  We've had 2 baby showers for my daughter and the second shower had 40 attendees, so we have baby stuff EVERYWHERE!  We will finally be able to begin converting the guest room to a nursery this weekend as we should have no more guests until after baby arrives. 

 

Today's card is sweet and simple.  I love how easy it was to put together.  You could easily change things up by alternating the patterned circles as well.  The envelope liner was created with the Envelope Liner Framelit, which will be retiring with this catalog and is available while supplies last.  The sentiment was stamped with Another Thank You, which is also on the retirement list.  I used the Watermelon Wonder Designer Series Paper from the 2015-2017 Designer Series Paper Stack, which will be returning in the 2016-2017 Idea Book and Catalog!!  The small heart was punched using the Owl Builder Punch.

Customer Appreciation

I love gifting my customers with an appreciation card and PDF each month.  It's just a small way that I can thank them for shopping with me.  Without them, I wouldn't be where I am now.  And through the years I've developed wonderful friendships with many of them!  This month, since I had just finished my February My Paper Pumpkin kit and had supplies out for that, I went with a Blackberry Bliss color scheme.  Boy am I going to miss that color when it's gone at the end of this catalog (May 31).  It has been badly neglected and underused by me and I'm not sure why?  It's so rich and beautiful! 

 

For this card I chose to use Whisper White Cardstock (100730) as my base and top layer and Blackberry Bliss (133675) as my matting layer and for my Bitty Butterflies (129406).  I inked up the floral hexagon image and sentiment from the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set (Wood 130953; Clear 130956) in Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink (133642).  The butterflies were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (104430) and topped off with Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246).  My envelope was created with the Envelope Punch Board (133774) and the 2014-2016 Designer Series Paper Stack (138433).         



Hello Little Sunshine

For my January Customer Appreciation card I wanted to highlight one of the Limited Availability Sale-a-Bration items.  I absolutely love the Hello stamp set.  It is so versatile and fun!  I appreciate my customers so very much and my monthly appreciation card is the least I can do for them.  I always include a PDF so they can easily recreate the card if they would like.  The finished card is 3" x 5" (I must admit, I cut my card bases the same size as our Note Cards, which are 3-1/2" x 5", but I cut my layers incorrectly so I had to chop 1/2" off my card bases).  Isn't it adorable!
