Thanks A Bunch! {Have Stash, Will Travel}

Pin It Now! I love, love, love this new stamp set from the Holiday SU catalog, Friendship Preserves.  It's perfection in shape, cool lettering, and can be used in so many ways.  I plan to use it for homemade Christmas gifts in mason jars.  Who doesn't think mason jars are cool?!  Have you checked out Pinterest?  Here's my board, Mason Jar Makeover.  Can you not see this stamp set all over these jars?!

Ok, back to the subject at hand.  Here's a thank you card using Friendship Preserves...

There is a layered Framelits set that goes with this stamp set, but since I'm traveling, I'm limited to what I can fit into this box.  A small paper stack, random ribbon, and a few choice embellishments.  No Big Shot, no Framelits :) So I hand cut a couple layers around the stamped image, which was colored with Stampin' Write Markers.

A few of those awesome new Vintage Faceted Buttons and some Baker's Twine are all I added.  I curled the Baker's Twine to mimic the grapevines on the stamp.  Here's how I did mine...

Just rub a little Crystal Effects along the twine, wipe most of it off, and loosely wind it around a pencil.  I let mine sit overnight, but it takes a good 1/2 hour. Or you can use a hair dryer to speed it up!

I'm playing along with 2 awesome challenges for this card!

...And Create With Connie & Mary for the color combo, although I may be disqualified for the pop of Gumball Green in there!  Still, the challenge was great, I think the colors are Fab-U-Lous!
