My little Ethan turned 6yo this month. We had a fun winter birthday party at a local little ski resort (not many big mountains here in central PA). We took 22 guests and headed out for some snow-tubing fun! We had a blast, and hardly payed attention to the near teen temperatures. Here is a pic of Ethan (middle) and his best buds.
Here is a picture of the thank you card I sent out to the guests.
These animal images are just too cute….and definitely my style. I had one extra thank you card left over. I wanted to “wow” it up a bit & show you how those little extra touches can make a huge difference on a card.
I used Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Write Markers, and some patterned papers from Welcome Home Designer Series Paper Pad to add many more little cute details to the card.

Great thank you cards! I love this set also. I’ll be using for a childs birthday card.
Oh my gosh – I love both versions, but the detailing on the second one is unbelievable! Reminds me why you’re my favorite stamper. Details, details, details!
The second version is definitely not something you would mass-produce, though… haha!
TFS!
