It's Tuesday and I'm posting to my blog (I know, it's hard to believe)!!! If you're one of my regular readers, you know this is unusual because I normally post once a week (for Pals Paper Arts, not including an occasional sneak peek here and there)! I've set some goals (I did say goals, not resolutions) for myself this year to make some changes on my blog and one of those is to post more often! I'm hoping it's a change you'll welcome and look forward to because I truly love sharing my work with you! I don't want to reveal all of my planned changes at once (I need to keep your curiosity at a peak), so you'll need to continue coming back as the year progresses to find out what other changes I have planned!
I have two cards instead of one to share with you today (the thank you card shown above and the thinking of you card shown below)! I wanted to show you how changing simple elements, such as the card's base color, the sentiment, and/or an added embellishment, can really change the look and purpose of a card! These are easy changes to make and the results can be dramatic! I like the results on both cards and I hope you do too!
All supplies used are Stampin' Up!, unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Array of Sunshine, Grateful Greetings, Sincere Salutations
Paper: Sahara Sand, Basic Gray, So Saffron, Whisper White card stock; Patterns Pack DSP - Subtles Collection
Ink: So Saffron, Basic Gray
Tools: Big Shot die cut machine, Sizzix Framelits Labels die, Victoria embossing folder (Cuttlebug), Trio Flower Punch (retired), Stamp-a-ma-jig, scoring board, stylus
Extras: Designer Buttons - Subtles Collection, adhesive pearls (my embellishment stash), Sticky Strip, Mini Glue Dots

Margaret I love it. I for one, am glad you are going to post more. I'm 'trying' to do more CAS but I struggle with NOT adding stuff! Love your designs color choices and I am never disappointed.
I will be patient and look forward to other new changes coming.
Hugs
