TTG Thank You Cards...

Card Order for the Tucson Tri Girls.  I was asked to make thank you cards for the Tucson Tri Girls Sponsors that resemble their 20th Year Cycling Kit.  This is what I came up with..

I used my new cacti stencil on Gorgeous Grape with Gorgeous Grape ink  I layered it on a white, then mounted it on a black card base.  I cut little strips of black cardstock (the hardest part of the whole card, lol) and applied them to the white layer.  Next I stamped my custom made Tucson Tri Girl stamp in Gorgeous Grapeand die cut it with a circle die and mounted it with a black circle.  Then I mounted it on pop dots.

How'd I do?
I also made a thank you card for the order.

Purple Power...

A custom card order and a thank you for the card order.

A dear friend of mine asked me to make some thank you cards for the local triathlon club.  I just happened to have a custom stamp with the club's logo from when I was on the board a few years ago.

 

Gorgeous Grape was perfect as the clubs color is purple!  I stamped my image in Gorgeous Grape and ran the main image panel through a cuttlebug folder in Gorgeous Grape.  I did two sets of 3, one set in Smoky Slate, the other in Black.

I made a coordinating thank you card to thank my friend for the order and to also thank her for her patience/delay it took for me to make them.  We have been working on our home so my card making time has been limited.  I stamped the Thank You Circle in Gorgeous Grape from Denami Stamps and the bicycle from Hero Arts in black.

Back in the Saddle Soon...

Our amazing sponsor, Don with Farmers Insurance had a mishap on his bike a couple weeks ago.  I made him a card to lift his spirits.

I used My Favorite Things Radiating Rays stencil, sponging Daffodil Delight and Only Orange.  Then I stamped the bike from Hero Arts stamp set.  Sentiment from Gina K. Design.

 Me, Carolyn, and Don.

A Heartfelt Thank-you...

Our #ttgsponsor, Steve with Bicycle Ranch blessed me with a FREE entry to El Tour de Tucson the week before the race.  I was so excited to tell my teammate Ermalinda that I would be riding with her while she completed her first century.  I couldn't thank Steve enough, it meant the world to me that I could be there for my teammate and friend, encouraging and motivating her while she reached her goal.  

I thought I was making a quick and simple card but, ha!  Little did I know how hard it was to line up all the cardstock...then oops, you apparently need a back to attach the cardstock to or you end up with scraps everywhere.  I think it took me 3 or 4 attempts to get the strips cut, lined up, the die-namics lined up, and into a card.  I really should've watched a tutorial for the simplest way to do this.  Lesson learned.  I used Bicycle Ranch's Store/Team colors, Black, Gray, Red, and White.  My favorite Things die-namics, and Hambo stamps.

Me and Steve, an amazing supporter!!!

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Happy Birthday Steve!!!

For my friend Steve who's birthday is Tuesday.  He opened up a whole new world of cycling to me about two years ago with his climb and descend clinic.  I was terrified to go down hill at 17mph when I first met him...now I'm able to go 43mph!  He's also an awesome sponsor for the Tucson Tri Girls (Bicycle Ranch Tucson).  Happy Birthday Steve!!!  I hope you have a fantastic day and thank you for all that you do for the cycling community!  

I used this week's SC745 for my layout.  I picked Black, Real Red, and White for the card since those are the colors of Steve's shop and shop's cycling kit.  Hero Arts stamp set for the bike and MFT Sweet Succulents set for the sentiment.  Kept is clean and simple.

Have a wonderful weekend!
