Friendship Preserves Shaped Card and Envelope

We made both of these items in a recent class.  We used the Window Frames framelits and the Friendship Preserves stamp set to make this little shaped card.  It's perfect for a quick note.  

The above card can fit in a 3 x 3 envelope, which you can get from Stampin' Up - or you can make your own using Designer Series Paper and the Diagonal Score Plate, like we did.  The center is blank so that you can add the recipient's name.

Friendship Preserves Hello

We made this Hello card at a recent class.  It uses Friendship Preserves, Window Frame Framelits, the Tasteful Trim die, the Square Lattice embossing folder, and First Edition Designer Series Paper.

The colors are Elegant Eggplant, More Mustard and Very Vanilla.

Friendship Preserves Thanks

When I first saw this Thanks stamp in the Friendship Preserves set by Stampin' Up, the grapes on the stamp made me want to extend the grapes onto the card.

The grapes were made by punching several Elegant Eggplant circles and then layering them to look like a bunch of grapes.  I cut the leaves freehand.  The Thanks image was cut out using one of the dies from the Window Frames Collection Framelits.  All of this was arranged on a double layer of the Top Note die which was then added to the card.
