Hello chicadees! Oy, it's still roasting here in Sac-town and I'm in the craft room trying to stay cool…
The DH just went up to Target to get the Season 3 Mad Men DVD set so we can get ready for Season 4 which starts next weekend. He got the LAST copy!!! Thanks honey!!! He said he only had to hurt one person! Just kidding! If you have never watched that show, I highly recommend it. I would start from season 1 and watch the whole thing. It's my favorite show – like a wonderful, beautiful movie each week. So well made, I can hardly believe it's television. Sunday nights on AMC. Check it out.
The card I'm posting today was inspired by Julie's Amuse flowers class we took last week at Paper Garden. I made a round card inspired by one of her cards and used the new marigold stamp I bought – which we used on another card in class. I kept it sweet and simple, too. Hope you likey.
I used my large scallop die from Stampin' Up in my Cuttlebug to make the card bases. One tip Julie gave us is to score the back circle instead of the front one – so your card front is a solid circle. I punched two small holes on the side for the bright yellow riboon.
This marigold stamp is very versatile…you can stamp it in any color and it makes a nice crisp image. I used Adirondack Ink in Sunshine Yellow. The "Thank You" is a Stampin' Up image.
Notice the tiny clear rhinestones in the center of the flowers?
This is the inside of the card. The bee is from PTI and the saying is from Paper Source.
Pretty little Thank You's all ready to go!

It’s so funny that you bought this marigold stamp. After you told me you went to Julie’s AMuse class, I went on their website and saw a very cute card made with the marigold stamp (actually, one was large and the other was smaller). Anyhow, I just loved it!! How happy is that card of yours, Miss Wanda?? I love it!! It puts a BIG smile on my face!! Thanks for your inspiration!!
