Leadership Make and Takes - Part 1

This little Make & Take is called the Lucky Limeade Thanks Card. I learned a new technique of snipping the petals on the stamped flowers to add dimension. I also snipped the middle red "flower" part to add dimension and make the circle look like part of the flower.

This is a very beautiful and ornate card that would be best, in my opinion, to hand to someone. You could mail it; however, it would take more postage and you may have to ask to have it hand stamped by the Postal Service, which never seems to be a big hit with the postal workers in the Post Office by my house.



As a lot of people know, Stampin' Up! supports Ronald McDonald House Charities and gives them thousands of dollars every year. This Daffodil Delight Thanks Card is one where we made two of them at Leadership and then put one of the cards in a box that was marked to go to the Ronald McDonald House, probably in the local area - I'm not sure.

Such a pretty and cheerful card. It's fun and easy to make. We used the Scallop Edge Punch to create a Poppy Parade rickrack to put on the card. This is going to be a great technique to teach my customers.
