Fresh as a Daisy, Days to Remember, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Welcome! It's great to have you here.  I have a quick and easy card to share with you today. I found it at "Heartwarmers From Vicki".  Here's the link to her blog. There is no direct link to this card but it was posted on June 13, 2023 if you want to go scrolling for it. I only changed the word piece. Hers is a Basic White rectangle with "Happy Birthday" stamped on it in Daffodil Delight ink.  Please read on to see how I made the card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of copier paper to tape the Designer Series Paper (DSP) on. I like to have a piece that is the size I need so I can just add the DSP to the top and I know it's the right size for the front of the card.

The DSP is from the "Fresh as a Daisy" 12" x 12" package. I cut the daisies from a sheet that has several other images on it. The striped piece is also from that same sheet. I cut it to measure 4" x 1-1/4".  After cutting it from the sheet it already measured 4".  Same with the Daisy piece, it also measured 4".  

I taped the striped piece down at the bottom of the piece of copier paper. Then I taped the daisy piece on and it did overlap a bit but it's better than coming up short. 

The 3/8" x 4" Moody Mauve piece is from the same "Fresh as a Daisy" package and from the same sheet. It's actually the backside of the striped piece. I taped the strip to the front of the cards where the two pieces overlap.

Next I taped the whole thing to the card base.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch. I taped them to the Moody Mauve scalloped oval punch that I punched out using the same punch. I taped the two ovals together. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card. And the card was done.

It's kind of sad that there were only two pieces of DSP with these flowers on it. Click here to see the card I made with it a few days back. More like 10 days back! It's such pretty DSP!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Quiet Meadow, Fresh as a Daisy, Days To Remember Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Welcome to my blog. Today I have a quick and easy card to share with you. I was trying to figure out what to do with a busy piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and I thought I'd use it as a background and see where I can go with it.  And this is what I ended up with. It's got a bit of an oriental feel to it to me. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Wild Wheat card stock for the layer. I taped the two pieces together and then taped them to the card base.

Next I stamped the flower from the "Quiet Meadow" set and fussy cut it out. Usually I color first and then fussy cut in case I make a mess of it I wouldn't have wasted any time fussy cutting.  But I took a chance and lucked out. I colored the flowers in using the light Lost Lagoon Blends pen. The center of the flowers was colored in using the dark Daffodil Delight Blends pen. And the leaves and stems were colored in using the light Granny Apple Green Blends pen. I took my Wink of Stella pen and colored over the flowers to give them a little sparkle. I added Dimensionals to the back and set the piece aside.

Then I proceeded to make the two layers that the flower piece will sit on. The Wild Wheat piece measures 1-7/8" x 4-1/2" and the Basic White piece measures 1-3/4" x 4-3/8".  Before taping the two layers together, I took the Basic White piece and added some color to it. I took a sponge and my Lost Lagoon ink pad and lightly tapped on some color. I wanted the spotted look and that's what I got. Dimensionals were added to the back of the layered piece and it was set in place on the front of the card. By eyeing it, I tried to make it equal on the bottom, left, and the top.  

The flowers were then set in place and then the words. The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. They were punched out using the "Double Oval" punch. And on a scrap piece of the Wild Wheat card stock I punched out the scalloped oval. I taped the two ovals together. Dimensionals were added to the right side of the oval and a little bit of snail tape to the left side and the words were set in place.  And the card was done.

I think this layout and colors toned down the business of that DSP.  Mission accomplished.  But wait, there's more.  There's one more piece of this DSP in the package!!!  Yikes!!  Do I just bow out and make another card like this one or to I challenge myself to come up with something else?  Maybe even something better?  Hmmm. I guess we will both have to wait and see!  LOL

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Dainty Delight, Best Family Ever, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello there! I'm glad you stopped by to see today's thank you card. I found it on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. I did have a little bit of trouble with the measurements they gave so I had to improvise on my card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Crumb Cake card stock. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut my piece of Crumb Cake card stock for the focal point at 4-7/8" x 3-1/8". This is where the mistake was made that I didn't catch until after I had the two layers glued together. This piece should have been cut at 4-1/2" x  3-1/8" and the Basic Black layer was to be cut at  4-5/8" x 3-1/4". I used an old 1-3/8" circle punch to round the corners. I've purchased too many corner rounders to just have them retired after a few years and I got tired of buying them. So I just use a circle punch and make do. I had rounded the corners on both layers and also on the folded card base.

The flowers from the "Dainty Delight" set were stamped using Versa Mark ink and head embossed with black embossing powder. I heated it from the back side so the little bits of black in areas away from the stamped image stuck. 

Then I colored in the flowers and leaves using Blends pens. I used Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Highland Heather and Berry Burst. I used the dark pen of each color.

The words are from the "Best Family Ever" set and were stamped with Versa Mark and white embossing powder on a scrap piece of Basic Black card stock. I snipped the left side and cut the right side straight. I taped the piece in place.

The glued layered piece was set in place on the front of the card base using Dimensionals. I moved my focal piece over to the left so the top, left, and bottom were all about the same distance apart. The original card had the piece centered. Because the measurements were wrong I couldn't do that. 

Pearls were added to the front and the card was done.

This was a very fun card to make and it did go together quickly.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you card,

Playing in the Rain, Days to Remember, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello there! I have a fun card to share with you today. I think the "Playing in the Rain" set is a lot of fun to work with and even though I have new stuff to play with I still go back to this set and a few others I had before the new stuff came. I found this card here on Pinterest. I had to guess on the measurements of the pieces. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.  

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Crushed Curry card stock and before I taped it to the card base, I die cut the second largest scalloped circle from the "Layering Circles" die set. I cut it from the middle of the Crushed Curry piece. That way no one will notice it's not a whole trimmed quarter sheet. 

Next I cut a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Basic White and I used the "Artistic Mix" stencil and Crushed Curry ink with my Blending Brush and I scrubbed on the ink.

A Basic White circle was die cut using the 3rd largest die from the "Layering Circles" die set. I taped the two circles together and then I trimmed off about 1/4". Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

The cute turtle is from the "Playing in the Rain" set and was stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using black Memento ink. I colored it in using the following Blends: light Lemon Lolly, light and dark Old Olive and light Pumpkin Pie. After coloring I fussy cut the little guy out. I added Dimensionals to the back and set him in place on the circle.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. Dimensionals were added to the back on the left side and the piece was set in place on the front of the card. And the card was done!  Cute, huh?

This was a very fun, quick, and easy card to make. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Zoo Crew, Darling Details, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm so happy to share today's card with you. I found a fun layout on Pinterest and I went with it. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Boho Blue. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut two 4" x 5-1/4" pieces of Basic White card stock. One was taped to the front and one was taped to the inside.

Next I cut a piece of Boho Blue card stock that measured 4-1/2" x 1-1/4". I taped it to the front of the card about 3/4" from the edge of the card base. 

Then I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the in colors 6" x 6" stack. I cut one at 1" x 4" and I taped it to the top of the Boho Blue strip about 1-1/2" from the edge of the card base.

The square piece was cut at 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" and was taped about 1-1/4" from the edge of the card base.

The largest stitched circle from the "Stylish Shapes" set was used to cut the Boho Blue circle and the next size smaller was cut using a piece of Basic White card stock. I used my blending brush and scrubbed on some Boho Blue ink to give that background a bit of color. I taped the two circles together and set them on the front of the card using Dimensionals.

Then I fussy cut the armadillo from the "Zoo Crew" DSP. And by the way, this is the first armadillo card I ever made!  LOL I set the armadillo in place using some small Dimensionals.

The words are from the "Darling Details" set using Boho Blue ink. I die cut them with the die from the same "Stylish Shapes" set. I set it in place using tape on the end that sits on the circle and a Dimensional on the other end. And the card was finished.

This was a fun card to make and this is a fun layout to play with.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Playing in the Rain, Best Family Ever, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! Today I have a fun fold card to share with you. I found it on Pinterest and made a few changes to use current papers. You can see the original card here.  It's too bad that when Stampin' Up! carries a stamp set over to the next catalog that they don't add the Designer Series Paper (DSP) too or even create a new one to go with the set. But I did manage to find a piece of DSP that I thought would pair perfectly with this little guy! Please read on to see how the card was made. (I did find an error in the instructions on the original card and I had to cut a new sheet. I will make sure I give you accurate measurements).

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Boho Blue card stock. This is such a pretty color, isn't it? The fold is on the left.

Next I cut the inside piece using Basic White card stock. It measures 5-1/4" x 8" and is scored at 4" and 6". Then it's folded valley in the middle (like you would normally fold a card and the other score is a mountain fold. 

Then I cut a piece of DSP from the "Fresh as a Daisy" 12" x 12" package. I taped it using removable tape because I wanted to keep the Boho Blue card stock that will need to be used for the focal piece. I used the largest scalloped die from the "Layering Circles" die set. Once I cut it I pealed half of it back the DSP and glued it in place. I figured it would be easier to get the glue bottle in there than the tape runner and then I did the other half.

I took a piece of Basic White card stock and the 2-11/16" circle die. Before taping it to the scalloped Boho Blue scalloped circle I took my Blending Brush and I scrubbed on some Boho Blue ink. 

The bunny is from the "Playing in the Rain" set and was stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I fussy cut it out. I also stamped the bunny on a scrap piece of the same DSP and I fussy cut the shirt out. I glued it in place on top of the bunny. Then I set the bunny in place on the circles piece using Dimensionals.

On my card I forgot to add the strips where the two right areas are, between the 4" and 6" scores. After I realized it I will be adding the inside one but the one behind the bunny will have to just be missing. Which is too bad because it would add a lot to the strip/panel. So as I was tying this I had become obsessed with the idea of not having that strips on the inside pieces. So what I did was I took the strip and set it across the panel. I took the die and lined it up, then I taped it down with post it tape and die cut it. I glued the piece in place and I was much happier. If you look close at the scalloped area you can see that it was pieced in. I think it would have bothered me all day had I not figured out this way to fix it. LOL

And I had a little issue with the piece. While cutting the scalloped circle my tape stuck too tightly to the DSP and tore it a little. It was in the flower area and might have passed for a flower petal but the texture wasn't right. So I decided to add my knot there. 

The words are from the "Best Family Ever" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I die cut them using the die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I set the words in place using Dimensionals and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I'm not a big fan of fun folds but I did have fun (for the most part! LOL) making this one. And I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I think it would be more fun if the bunny was on a spring so it wobbled!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Layering Leaves, Country Side Inn, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Today I have a quick and easy card for you to make. It uses one of my favorite layouts. I use this one quite often when I have small pieces of Designer Series Paper (DSP) left over that are too big to recycle.  Please read on to see how you can make a card like this.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. The layer on top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Boho Blue card stock.

I cut a piece of Basic White card stock that measured 3-1/8" x 4-1/4".  The DSP was cut at 3" x 3" and taped to the upper part of the Basic White layer. It's from the "Country Side Inn" 12" x 12" package.

The words were added next. They are from the "Layering Leaves" set and were stamped using Night of Navy ink.

I took some white ribbon I had and wrapped it around the front of the piece to the back and taped the ends on the back with scotch tape. I slipped the ribbon, still on the spool under the ribbon on the front and tied a knot and then I snipped the ribbon. You waste less ribbon this way. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card. And that was it. 

This is a fun layout and easy to do. A nice way to use some of that busy DSP too!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Zoo Crew, Color & Contour, Wanted to Say Dies, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I've got a fun card to share with you today. It does involve some fussy cutting but it's so worth it. Please read on to see how I made today's card. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Les Shoppes" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the front of the card base. 

Next I die cut the scalloped rectangle using the die from the "Colors & Contour" bundle. I took my markers and flicked on some splats of color. I used Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Cajun Craze, and Coastal Cabana. I could have added some Granny Apple Green, like the colors in the banner but I thought there was enough color and not a lot of room for more without it looking muddy.

I used the die from the retired "Stitched Rectangles" die set but you can make that space by using the square Die from the "Stylish Shapes" die set and moving it down as you form the opening. I set this piece on top of the DSP using Dimensionals.

I fussy cut the elephant from the "Zoo Crew" 12" x 12" DSP package and I colored it using the light Gray Granite Blends Pen.  The banner was already colored. But what I did was I fussy cut another banner from an elephant that had been cut off from the design sheet. I set it in place on top of the other banner using pieces of Dimensionals. It doesn't show up as popped up in the photo but it is. I set the elephant aside.

Next I die cut the words and background using Basic Black for the words and Crushed Curry for the background. I used double-sided sticky sheet for the words so they were stickers and easy to place on top of the background piece. I set the words in place using Dimenisonals on the middle parts.

Then the elephant was set in place and the card was done. 

This was fun and even with the fussy cutting it was pretty quick. It wasn't what was in my head though. I had the card orientated so it opened on the right. I had a scalloped Crushed Curry circle die cut and a Basic White circle taped to it that the elephant was going to go on but it was just too much white. I pushed the pieces aside and the card turned sideways and that is how I got the idea to add the elephant to the left and while looking for words I saw the "Wanted to Say" dies and you know the rest!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda

Go To Greetings, Delightfully Eclectic, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello!  I'm so happy to see you here today. I have a quick and easy card to share with you. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) seems to have taken up most of the designs on the card so there's very little stamping.  It's fun to do that every now and then.  Less stamps to clean up, right?  LOL Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Crushed Curry card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and I taped it to the front of the card.

Next I cut a piece of DSP from the "Delightful Eclectic" 12" x 12" package that measures 3-3/4" x 5". I taped that to the Daffodil Delight piece.

Then I cut another piece of the same DSP, this image is on the other side of the first piece. It measured 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" and I taped it to a piece of Crushed Curry that measures 2" x 4". I added Dimensionals to the back and I set it in place on the left side of the card.

I fussy a flower from that same DSP. Dimensionals were added to the back and the flower was set aside.

The words are from the "Go To Greetings" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch. I also punched out the Crushed Curry scalloped oval from the same punch. I taped the ovals together. Dimensionals were added to the right side and a bit of tape to the left side. 

I lined up the flower and the word piece to see what looked most pleasing to the eye and I set them in place.

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was added to the inside and the card was done.

So quick and so easy! It's got such a fresh summer cheery feeling to it.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you card,

True Beauty, Darling Details, Days To Remember, Stampin' Up!

Hello! I'm happy you found your way here today. I have quick and easy card for you to see and maybe make. Please read on to see how you can make this card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock.

I took a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and die cut the image using the die from the "Darling Details" bundle. I did use double sided sticky sheet on the back of my card stock. I wasn't in the mood to do a lot of gluing. Plus it's easier to make it into a sticker than to glue. And quicker too!

Next I added the Boho Blue Luster Paper behind it. I had removed part of the sticky sheet backing for the Boho Blue piece and then added glue to the back of it, exposed the rest of the sticky part on the Basic White piece and set the piece in place on top of the card base.

Then I too a scrap piece of Basic White card stock and stamped the stem of the flower using Granny Apple Green ink and the flower using Fresh Freesia ink. They were from the "True Beauty" set. I die cut them with the matching dies.

The words are from the "Days To Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch. I also punched out the scalloped oval from the same punch using Fresh Freesia card stock. I taped the two ovals together. I added Dimensionals to the back and set the piece in place on the front of the card.  And the card was done.

This was a very fun and quick card to make. And yes, it was easy too!  This card can be used for a number of occasions. You know how much I love versatile stamp sets!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Masterfully Made, Days to Remember, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello!  I have a super easy and quick card for you to see today. I just love finding Designer Series Paper (DSP) that is easy to work with.  This one doesn't get much easier! Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. The card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Lost Lagoon card stock and taped it to the front of the card base.

Next I took a piece of DSP from the "Masterfully Made" 12" x 12" package and I cut it at 5" x 3-3/4".  I taped that to the Lost Lagoon piece.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink  on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch.

Then I punched out the scalloped oval using the same punch on a scrap piece of Lost Lagoon card stock. 

The two ovals were taped together. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place.  And the card was done. No frills!!  Just the DSP speaking for itself. And this one had a lot to say!! Isn't it fun? It's like it's popping off the page. 

This card can be used for a number of occasions. I'd love to make a get well card with it, it's so bright and cheery!

Go To Greetings, Fresh As A Daisy, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! Today I have a quick and easy card for you. I didn't take a good angled photo but the white part on top of the green opens up and that's where you add your sentiment. Please read on to see how I made this card. 

The base of the card is a 1/4 piece of Basic White card stock. It's just a flat single piece. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Garden Green card stock and that was taped to the 1/4 Basic White piece.

I cut a 9" x 3-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock that was folded in half. I taped the piece to the Garden Green piece.

Next I die cut the scalloped rectangle piece using Crushed Curry card stock and the die from the "Color & Contour" bundle.

Then I cut a 2-1/8" x 3-5/8" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Fresh As A Daisy" 12" x 12" package. I taped that to the Crushed Curry piece. Then I taped that to the Basic White piece.

The words are from the "Go To Greetings" set were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock.  I punched out the oval using the "Double Oval" punch. I used the same punch to punch out the Garden Green scalloped oval. I taped the two ovals together. Then I set them in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I'm not overly fond of this layout but you can save some money on card stock by using Basic White for the base layer and adding your colors on top of that. It's different and maybe that's not why I'm very fond of it. I'm not big on change!!! Never have been! But it really was fun to make!

Days to Remember, Darling Details, Fresh As A Daisy, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! Today I thought I'd try another card using the images from the "Fresh As A Daisy" 12" x 12" package of Designer Series Paper (DSP).   

This piece was a bit trickier to work with because it was short on the top and bottom. So what I did was I worked the piece in so the edges barely show. Please read on to see how I made the card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. The card opens on the right and the fold is on the right.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Fresh Freesia card stock for the layer. I chose Fresh Freesia instead of Bubble Bath because it made the DSP image pop. 

I die cut the cute rectangle from the "Darling Details" bundle using a piece of Basic White card stock. I had not used this die cut before so I wasn't sure what I was going to get from it. In the future I will be cutting my card stock at 3-3/4" x 5" and lining up the die so it's equal around all edges and I'll tape it down well with some post it tape so it won't move when die cutting.  

The DSP from the "Fresh As A Daisy" package measured 4" x 4".  I trimmed the sides a bit so it measured 3-5/8" x 4".  The top and bottom don't cover all of the rectangle well so what I did was I glued one side of the DSP to the back of the rectangle. I used glue so I could slide the piece up and down a bit so I could get it evenly on top and bottom.  Then I glued the other side. 

Next I cut a Bubble Bath piece of card stock that was just a bit smaller than the rectangle piece, it measured 3-5/8" x 4-7/8". If the card stock sticks out some, trim it shorter before affixing to the back of the rectangle piece. Once it's the right size, tape the DSP piece to the Bubble Bath piece.

Then I taped the whole thing to the card base.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using black Memento ink. I punched it out using the "Double Oval" punch. I also used the same punch to punch out the scalloped oval. I used a scrap piece of Fresh Freesia card stock for that. I taped the words to the scalloped oval and I set the piece in place using Dimensionals. And the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I was glad I was able to work the DSP to make it look like it fit! Don't look too close! LOL

Go To Greetings, Fresh as a Daisy, Thank you Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello! Today I have a fun, quick, and easy card for you to make. All you need is some Designer Series Paper (DSP), a stamp and some complementary card stock. Please read on to see how I made this card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Wild Wheat card stock. The card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut the floral image from a sheet in the "Fresh as a Daisy" 12" x 12" DSP package. There's several designs on the one sheet plus some smaller ones I'm not sure how I will be using but I'll be sure to share it with you once I figure that out.

After cutting it from the sheet, I realized that the piece didn't fit on the front of the card evenly, so I cut a strip of Basic White card stock and set it on the left side and decided that looked just hideous. SO used the edge die from the "Darling Details" bundle and a piece of Basic White card stock.  I used just a tiny amount of tape on the back of the DSP piece so I could work with the edge to get it just the right size to look even all around. Then I taped the edge down more securely and then the whole piece was taped to the front of the card base. Wasn't that strip the perfect touch?  I need to keep that idea in mind for future images that are not wide enough!

The words are from the "Go To Greetings" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch. I also used the same punch for the scalloped layer behind it. I used Early Espresso card stock for that piece. I set it in place using a couple of Dimensionals and the card was done.

Like I said it was a fun, quick, and easy card to make. It leans a bit more into the fall colors, which I'm not ready for yet. It just seems like the snow just left here not too long ago.  

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see today's thank you card,
