Thank You So Much!

Do you think writing thank you notes is a chore?  Maybe it will be easier to complete the task if you have some fun supplies.  I found a cool tool, Deco-Rush at Celebrations (next door to Mapunapuna BFC).  Deco Rush is a pen-like implement that dispenses a rub-on style of decorative words and designs. For this card I chose the 'thank you' with hearts.  There are dozens of Deco Rush designs to choose from at Celebrations and they have refills, too.
In this close up you can see the pretty Martha Stewart heart confetti in the shaker window that was cut with a Sizzix die.  I used the Paper Smooches curved border die to cut the hills that were decorated with the Deco Rush applicator.  I started with a card from the American Crafts boxed set of golden designs. After placing a piece of acetate behind the cut out circle, I enclosed the entire back of the card front using foam tape to seal in the confetti.
This thank you card was so easy to assemble that I am already planning some Valentine cards in a similar style.  I really do believe that nothing says 'thank you' or 'love' more than a handmade card, so be sure you send some out to those who made your holiday season bright and jolly.

Such a cool way to use that pen! I have a couple (cause they're so cute) and never thought to line the edge of a die cut. Love your shaker card.
