Sending out a thank you (or in this case, a Thank Ewe) is something we all need to do. I try my best to remember to send out a thank you whenever someone does something nice for me or for someone I love. It's something my Mom engrained in me from the time I was very young. It's a good thing to do, and at Whimsy Stamps, you're always guaranteed to find all the best stamps, dies and products to help you make amazing cards for every occasion.For this sweet little "thank ewe" card, I used two different Whimnsy Stamps patterned papers including the light blue one from the Cozy Winter Paper Pad and the plaid from the New Primitive Homespun Paper Pad. I ran both of them through the die-cut machine using the Daisy Embossing Folder to give the papers some wonderful texture.The sentiment I added (thank ewe) was stamped using the word "thank" from the New Primitive Little Things Stamp Set and the word "ewe" from the New Primitive Simplify Stamp Set. I cut a little banner strip for the sentiment. The adorable little crow resting on the sheep's back is found in the darling New A Murder of Crows Die Set. That's about it - other than a bit of machine stitching.Thanks so much for visiting me here today, everyone. I'm always delighted to have you stop by to take a peek at my art and say hello to me. You're the best blog friends I could ever ask for, and I appreciate you SO much. Have a blessed and creative week, y'all. Be sure to stop by Whimsy Stamps and perhaps even on my Instagram Page to follow and say hello.
I'm playing along in the following challenges I love:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Simon Says "Thinking of You" - I enjoy sending a thank you (or a thank ewe in this case) when I'm thinking about someone special....just to tell them that I'm thinking about them.
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says "Thinking of You" - Ditto what I said above regarding letting others know that you're thinking about them.
TIME OUT Challenge Blog - Challenge #276 - Cozy - This card says "cozy" to me because I love farm animals, and sheep arm warm and fuzzy...they give us cozy wool blankets.
As You Like It Challenge Blog - Favourite Critter and Why - Question of the day: Can a person have more than one "favorite" critter? I think YES. There are just so many cute animals in the world. I love sheep and I love crafting with sheep. Why do I like them? Well, they're so fuzzy and cute. For these fluffy little sheep, I used wool felt for texture to cut them. I'd like to make these ewes into a nice cozy warm wool blanket - but of course, no harm to the adorable sheep.
Aloha Friday Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday #16 - Thank You - This card is actually a thank ewe card.
Blessings,
Karen
Love the added texture by using the cover plate with the patterned papers. The sheep are so cute and make for a great thank you card! I grew up always writing thank you cards and it's still hard for me to accept the younger generation just don't do that. Glad to see this card in our gallery at Time Out.
