Hello my stampin’ peeps!  It’s Monday and as always, I have a Make It Monday tutorial for you.  I had some fun with this card today.  Bright colors, fun Designer Paper, and a big thank you!

I just got the A Big Thank You bundle and let me say, it’s awesome!  Look at that fabulous “thank you” Framelit.  Isn’t it great?

I like the addition of the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper on this card.  It kinda reminds me of a Hawaiian shirt.

Not able to create today? Why not create a file in your “Documents” on your computer and call it MAKE IT MONDAY? Or, you can always search the Categories (right side bar) and click on Make It Monday and you will see all of them.

Here’s what you’ll need to create the A BIG THANK YOU card.  Use what you have, order what you need. Just click a pic!  

The Stewarts are officially on vacation.  We left Friday for the Stampin’ Up incentive trip – an Alaskan cruise!  We are so excited to take this trip together.  Honestly, with Christina graduating, this may be our last family vacation.

I know we’re going to have an amazing time but I promised everyone that I would UNPLUG so I won’t be posting any updates while we’re gone.

I will post some pictures when I return next week. I have some great stamping projects lined up for you while I’m gone though.  🙂 

I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and free tutorial.  Don’t have this stamp set or Designer Paper? Challenge yourself to use what you have and see what you create.  It’s only paper.  What’s the worst that could happen?  Go make something!

See you right back here tomorrow for a 2-Minute Tuesday Tip video.  It’s a GREAT tip on securing ribbon when tying bows so make sure you stop by for that.
