Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Today I needed to mail a bunch of thank you cards so went on a bit of a thank you card frenzy.  Here are some of the cards I made.

Card #1 (above):  The focal and greeting came from a Hunkydory little book of focals and greetings - don't remember the name of it (and I divided it into pieces some time ago).  The background was a paper scrap (probably from HOTP).

Inside:

This cute kitten in cup is from a Hero Arts stamp & cut set called Kit-Tea. The papers were all scraps.  I colored the kitten with Inktense pencils & a water brush.

Card #2:

Once again I took advantage of some die cuts from a HD Little Book of focals & greetings (probably the same book as the previous - just can't say for sure).  I paired these with silver foiled poster board and a Shine Design patterned paper from HOTP called Pink Flowers.

Inside:

Inside I simply made borders from the scraps.

Card #3:

This time I used a elements from a HD kit called Vintage Blossom - which didn't get properly divided into sets before I started using it.  Some pieces may also have come from that little book of focals and greetings.  To these elements I added a piece of ribbon from my stash.  The card base is a HD Twist and Pop base.

Inside:

Here you see how the inside twisted & popped!

Card #4:

The next two cards came from a HOTP Cardmaker's Personal Shopper kit.  No idea which one.  In addition to cutting out the individual elements, I also cut a heart from the striped paper in the set and added strips of black & cream papers for the borders.

Inside:

I cut another heart shape & blag strips for the inside - as well as using other pieces from the set.

Card #5:

I used the leftover elements from the previous card to create this A2-sized card.  I added some corner die cuts (Spellbinders Gold Corners One) cut from cream paper, and added bits of dazzles to sparkle up the printed "brads".  The sentiment was stamped using as stamp from Just a Little Greeting (HOTP).

Inside:

Inside is more of the same - embossed sentiment stamped from a stamp from the same stamp set.
