I needed two more thank you cards today, and had quite a bit of fun pulling them together. It was nice to have some uninterrupted creative time. The first one is for the amazing woman who planned all the meals for the youth retreat, purchased all the ingredients, cooked the Saturday night casseroles (delish!), and supervised the rest of us in the kitchen for the weekend. I cased this card design from a card I pinned here quite some time ago.
She is indeed, all of these things! Here’s a peek a the inside, which I kept small and tidy as there will be multiple signers!
The next card is a thank you to Betsy’s parents who had us to brunch yesterday. Paul made amazing scrambled eggs with cream cheese (I think) and brocolli.
I found the Spiral Notebook die laying on my desk and started with that. Once I found the striped paper, the rest came together quicking. I’m a huge fan of these word dies. I have several from Simon Says and a few from Papertrey Ink. They just make a card pop!
I’m linking both these cards to the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Thanksgiving/Thanks.

Lovely cards,Karen….and I agree about how the words make the card pop.
I don’t have any word dies and am totally converted, having seen these. Especially in different colours. I do love that top card in particular. It sounds as if your weekend was a great success, and am amazed you have the energy to do anything creative.
Catching up this afternoon and have really enjoyed seeing your beautiful card creations, Karen. So glad to hear that the retreat went well and looking forward to hearing more about it! :o)
Beautiful cards, Karen! Love them both, especially the colours. Thanks so much for playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
It doesn’t take that much effort to say thankyou – but I am sure your thanks is so appreciated when it comes with these beautiful cards.
There really is nothing nicer than a personalised thank you card. I’m sure they will be very much appreciated
Wonderful cards Karen! I couldn’t agree more about how those word dies make the cards really pop … and so I’m wondering… what contraption do you use those dies with? Is it your Silhouette or something else?
It does sound like that first one is going to a worthy recipient – that’s a lot of work! And the breakfast sounds yummy. I like the repeated sentiment on that card, so happy.
BOTH are absolutely fantastic Karen!!!! 🙂
Thanks so much for joining us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! ~ Laurel
