Thank You and Sympathy Cards

I thought I'd attempt to use up some of the patterned paper that I've been collecting over the years. Most of it I have filed by manufacturer and I just have one sheet of this and that. My thought was to take a sheet and make three or more cards from it. I love the pattern on this one but unfortunately I tossed the barcode strip and I don't know who the manufacturer is. 

For the card above and below I used the same stamp set for the sentiments and images. It's a Hero Arts set called With Sympathy - CL476. I've really gotten a lot of mileage out of this set.  I also used an EK Success stamp for the border on the first card. For the image on that one I heat embossed it with black embossing powder. The one below was stamped with Smooch ink.

For the thank you card below I used another Hero Arts stamp set called Feather Grass - CL282. The edge punch is from Martha Stewart. Cardstock used for all cards is from PTI. Bling is from Hero Arts and Stampendous.
