I held a club class yesterday and this Sitting Here card was one of our projects. I love the simplicity of this card and am so glad I will have 5 for my use. One can never have too many thinking of you cards. Now I can just reach in my card box and pull one out as needed.
Sitting Here Thinking of You
I left the inside blank to be able to write a personal message.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a card base of 11” x 4 ¼”. Score and fold at 5 ½”. I used Soft Sea Foam cardstock.
Use the Stampin’ Trimmer, cut Garden Impressions DSP 5 ¼” x 4”. Cut two pieces of Whisper White card stock 4 ½” x 3 ¾”. One for card front, one for inside.
Stamp front of card using Black Memento ink and Blueberry Bushel. Start stamping from the bottom up so you can get the spacing correct.
Color image with Soft Suede, Flirty Flamingo, and Pool Party Blends.
Stamp pillows on scrap pieces of cardstock and DSP. Color as desired and cut each pillow.
Assemble the card as shown.
Create a small banner and attach it to the top of your card. Add a tiny bow of baker’s twine.
Happy Stamping!

Today I am sharing a Rooted in Nature Thinking of You card that has a different type of easel front. For this card I also used Stitched Seasons Framelits.
To create this card, you will die cut the middle-sized label for the framelits. Stamp the sentiment with Tranquil Tide ink. Stamp three “small twig branches” on Mint Macaron card stock with Mint Macaron ink. Stamp three of the “fancy” leaves on Powder Pink with Calypso Coral ink. Stamp two “3 leaf” leaves on Tranquil Tide with Tranquil Tide ink. Die cut all the stamped leaves. Die cut one larger leaf from Cajun Craze card stock.
The card base in Cajun Craze cut 5 ½” x 4 ¼”. Cut a piece of Whisper White 5 ¼” x 4”. Cut a piece of Tranquil Tide card stock 6” x 2 ¼”. Cut DSP and 6” x 2”. Adhere DSP to the Tranquil Tide leaving a border on the bottom edge. Score at 2” from the bottom edge and ¼” from the top edge. Fold and crease the ¼’ end and adhere that edge to the back of the Whisper White piece. You will then adhere the Whisper White piece to the card base. This will create your easel. Fold at the 2” score and adhere the label to the 2” area. Now you are ready to adhere all your leaves, bow and embellishments. Fold easel up so you will know where to adhere the large Cajun Craze leaf. Use dimensionals for the leaf. Add other leaves as desired. Add sentiment. The Cajun Craze leaf will then hold your easel in place.
Here is a side view of the Rooted in Nature card that will help you see how this card works.

Case This Sketch has my all-time favorite sketch this week. I love cards that have corner accent highlights. When I am in a creative slump I tend to return to a design similar to this sketch.
I also have made sooooo many Christmas cards I am ready to switch it up and make something a little bit different. I’m not tired of Christmas yet, just the card making! A stash of Thinking of You cards is just what I needed to make. To add a pop of color I used the Rich Razzleberry Blends pen to color the White Perfect Accents. Have I told you how wonderful the Blends are??
Don’t forget the Year End Sale Event. Some wonderful sets will be retiring.
I want to remind you the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration catalog will be out soon. Sale-a-bration is absolutely the best time of the year. Free stamps, paper and embellishments!

After all the sad news yesterday I thought everyone could use a hug. I hope that you will share a hug with someone today. I am sure you know someone who could use a big hug! Enough said!
Here is my hug for you:
This sums it up nicely!

Sometimes I make a card just because I need a happy card to send someone. This card makes me happy, happy. It would be so much fun to see a bunch of colorful birds all perched on a branch singing a chirpy little bird song!
This card does not have much stamping to it and I usually like lots of stamping. But it still makes me smile.
