Welcome to another Mix it up Monday for the Doodlebugs blog! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook and this time I needed a couple of tags for thank you gifts I was giving at work. The gifts were really pretty candles, one pink and one orange, so I pulled my color inspiration from that. It's a great little trick to remember if you're stuck for palette inspiration.

Hip Hip Hooray Hot Foiling
Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! I had so much fun mixing so many companies together to create these fun cards! It all started with the backgrounds and quickly grew from there. Do you ever have that with a new layered stencil? You have to try it in a billion color combinations just to see what you actually like together...or maybe you love them all and you just keep going? The second thought was more what happened to me this time.

Quick and Easy Thank You Cards
Just some quick cards I created using the Blended Petals stamp and coordinating stencil from Concord & 9th. Those coordinating stencils make creating these cards quick and easy!! So, while I had everything out, I created several.
To create these, I stamped the images on several panels of white cardstock and used the coordinating stencil and ink blending brush to add the ink to the paper. Once I was finished, the next step was to cute the panels down so they were slightly smaller than the front of my A2 card. I used the A2 Layers die for this. It's a great die set and one of my most used dies.
The next step was to cut and assemble the sentiments. For those of you who follow the blog, you know I cut several of each piece and glued them together in a stack for some added dimension. Since this was a pretty flat card, the extra dimension was perfect!
I secured the sentiment to the front to complete the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're inspired to create something today.
