Fill ‘Er Up ‘T’hanks Card

Thank You Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Quietfire Fill
Hi friends, it’s not very often that I have something that I term a masculine card to share — today I do. In fact, this is a simple go to card that I can do at any time just to say thanks. I chose a new stamp by Quietfire Design that has a calligraphy ‘Thanks’, but the ‘t’ is hollowed out, hence the name Fill ‘Er Up ‘T . I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to fill it with some texture and also use the texture as a background so I picked a small pattern in Spellbinders So Trendy embossing folder – Side B.  I cut out the hollow part of the ‘t’ but it would have been just as easy to cut it out and simply pop it on top.

Thank You Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Quietfire Fill

Here’s how I made it – step by step:

I started out with a 4-7/8″ x 6″.  Using a Krylon pen, I edged a panel cut to 4-1/4″ x 5-3/8″ and embossed a panel using So Trendy Embossing Folder cut to just under the same size.  I added the top part of Spellbinders 5 x 7 Heirloom Legacy to the top of the panel before adhering with a double layer of foam tape.  Next I added a die cut layer using Spellbinders Decorative Labels Thirty Four  – adhered with foam tape and finished with my sentiment stamped on a die cut layer using Spellbinders Labels Thirty Fourrimmed with Gold Krylon Pen, adhered with foam tape.

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED 
Rubber Stamps: Quietfire Design – Fill ‘Er Up T
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Solar White – 80 lb, Coredinations
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories:Spellbinders 5 x 7 Heirloom LegacySpellbinders Decorative Labels Thirty FourSpellbinders Labels Thirty Four, Spellbinders So Trendy, The Paper Studio Gems, Gold Krylon Pen, Satin Ribbon, Grand Calibur Die Cut Machine

Come see me tomorrow.  I’ve been promising to show you the area that I store my dies in and I finally got pictures!!  Also, I’m kicking off a new Blog Candy for clear cases!

    very different from your usual style Becca, but it´s still a very lovely card and is perfect for these men, who don´t like the girly look he he he, and ofcause wealso need to make cards for them as well, ad you sure did an awesome job on this one here. I love the beautiful colors in it.ReplyCancel

    Gorgeous card, love the way the background shows through the sentiment.ReplyCancel

  • Maureen KillenMay 16, 2014 - 4:46 am

    Good morning Becca,
    I really like this card and sentiment. I’d fill the T with Zentangle, it would look fabulous, and leave the ribbon off for the men in my life – they would not appreciate it – but I’d use either string or straw! I’m off now to try my version!! xxReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,

    This is so lovely, love the stamp, you can make this look so different every time.

    I would love if you could put on your blog where we can buy these stamps from and all the words/verses you post, they are always so different and perfect.

    Love & Hugs

    Hi Becca,
    Have been really interested in all the storage for dies as it is a problem! As you so rightly say easy accessibility is the main thing while protecting the dies. As I live in the UK will not get involved in the Competition. Will search for a similar solution here – if such a thing exists. Folders become much too heavy!
    Today’s card is so different for you but I really like it and the gold is such a nice change. I use cream ribbon but never gold – you got me thinking!
    Thanks so much,
    Love,
    MyraReplyCancel

    Becca, I learn so much from you. With you sharing your craft storage, it makes it so much easier to focus on organizing my craft room.
    As always, you are so inspiring, thank you.ReplyCancel

    Thank you for introducing me to Quietfire Design. They have several sayings that I like! I used one on my grandmothers birthday card this year. Quite an accomplishment to find a sentiment I think she will like.ReplyCancel
