A Simple Thank You Card

Hi Friends!

How are you all doing? Its quite cloudy here today. We may have heavy rains in a day or two due to low pressure.

Today I am sharing a simple Thank You Card. This card was made in one of my classes for demonstration. I usually prefer easy to make simple cards.

The base of the card is a very light pastel coloured card stock. I have used floral printed paper from JAGS 

I love this light coloured floral printed paper.But only thing is the size of print is big and can only be used for bigger sized cards.At least that is what I feel. 

For the insert, I have used two different shades of green coloured paper. Actually the colour of the top layer of the insert matches the floral printed paper. But here in the photo it looks a different shade.

This card has a plain white envelope.

Hope you like this card. Watch out for more...

Materials Used:

• A4 size light yellowish green pastel coloured Card Stock
• White Card Stock scrap
• A4 size JAGS printed paper pack W&M CPPS15
• Sizzix Framelits Circles and Labels Stitched Dies
• Sentiment Stamp
• Black Ink
• Light Green Ink

Paisley Print Card

Hi Friends!

Hope you are all doing well.

Here we have had some showers and the day temperatures are less but humidity is still unbearable. These showers were a blessing to my garden and all the residents therein.

I am back to my daily schedule with the starting of new academic year. 

Today I am sharing with you a simple Thank You card. 

I have used paisley printed paper as the back ground. This is from JAGS A4 size pack. I love JAGS packs as they are affordable and when you buy them in a sale you can save a lot.

I have lots of papers of different kinds, some I bought while some were gifted to me by my friends.

I love this paisley print. 

This is the inside of the card. You can see the insert with punched border. This card has plain white envelope.

Hope you like this card. I would love to hear from you.

Have a happy week end. Watch out for more...

Red and White card

Hello Friends!

How are you all doing? 

Summer has ended. We have had some pre monsoon showers here. It is a bit cool and my plants are refreshed. I am yet to take stock of how many plants I lost because of the heat despite my care. 

Now that Monsoons are almost on our doorstep and schools will open next week, I have lots on my hands. I need to 

• revamp my closet with dresses suitable for rainy season 
• prepare for welcoming my fresh batch of students
• chalk out menu for the rainy season ahead
• work on my garden to revive my plants and seasonal work

OK gals, here is my card for this post

I have folded A4 size White Card stock into half such that the upper half is half inch smaller than the bottom one. I have glued the printed tape onto the edge of bottom half.

I have punched the flower design on the Red card stock and glued it. Actually, I had tough time in aligning the punched shapes. Even a slight error in placing the punch ruins the work. You can see I have added flat back self adhesive pearls in the center of the flower design.

The butterflies were die cut from White Card stock and dabbed with red pigment ink and added to the red layer with dimensional dots.

Then I stamped Hello sentiment using black pigment ink.

For insert I have used white paper and punched out tiny butterfly border on the edge. Then lightly dabbed the edge with red pigment ink.

This card has plain white envelope.

Hope you like it. Please do write in your comments and suggestions if any. I would love to hear from you.


Materials Used:

• A4 size White Card Stock + scraps for butterflies

Thank You Card

Hi Friends!

Hope you are all doing well and having great time. Well is quite hot here. Summer is almost at its last leg and therefore temperatures are unbearable. 

I am also taking a break. But not at all doing much because of the heat and humidity.

Today I am going to share another Thank you card.

I have used punch craft as well as dies for this card. 

The base is A4 size cream coloured card stock folded into half. It has glittery surface. Both are hand made. I try to use hand made paper or other things produced locally (Indian made) to support our local artisans. They require our support or else we may loose so many of our arts and crafts and locally made items.

I have glued dark brown card stock with punched borders. Again the top layer is same cream coloured card stock with punched borders.

I have cut out the top two labels using the Spellbinders dies and stamped the sentiment using brown ink and glued both of them using dimensional foam dots to give it some elevation.

This is the inside of the card. I have used the border punch on the four corners. This card has a plain white envelope.

Hope you like this card. Please do drop in your comments and suggestions if any. I would love to read them.

Materials Used:

• Light Cream coloured glittery hand made card stock 
• Dark Brown hand made card stock
• Yellow and Light Cream card stocks
• Thank You sentiment
• Brown Pigment ink
• Spellbinders Nestability-Scalloped Labels One dies

• Light Brown and Cream coloured papers for insert

Warm Wishes Card

Today the card I am sharing is also very simple. 

The base is white card stock A4 size. I have layered it with another white piece of card stock, but used dimensional foam to elevate the layer.  I have used pink printed tape and puffy stickers to decorate.

I cut out the label from white card stock scrap and stamped the sentiment with black ink. Then I dabbed the edges with the Fancy Fuchsia Artistry ink. This is one of the colours I like a lot. 

This is the inside of the card. The envelope is a simple white envelope.

The yellow colour in the back ground in the above two pictures is a paper sheet I used for background to take the photos as white was drowning out my card. So don't get confused.

I am sorry. I know that my pictures are not clear. I need to do something for that. Actually my craft space is crowded and lighting also is not much. Also I am not a good photographer even with digital camera.

I need to fix it. But I can't wait to share my cards with you. 

Materials used:

• White Card Stock A4 size and for layer and scrap for sentiment
• Pink printed tape
• Puffy stickers-butterflies
• Sizzix Framelits-Fancy Labels
• Sentiment, butterfly stamps
• Black, blue and pink pigment inks
• Fancy Fuchsia Artistry ink

Simple Card With Scraps

Hi Friends!

Hope you are all doing well and enjoying. 

Here it is quite hot. We are all forced to stay indoors. So me and my family are watching old black and white classic movies. It really is a time to enjoy with cool sherbets, fruit juices or ice creams, mangoes and summer fruits. A good way to unwind and stay cool.

Today I am sharing with you a very simple card using scraps and left overs. 

I have so many scraps of craft paper in a variety of colours,  lying around. I try my best to organise them into groups but  half way through I loose my patience and stuff them back. Ultimately I have so many bags full of them, I have lost track of where I have kept what. Do You also face this?

Can any one of you help me as to how to organise them?

The base for the card is a blue coloured textured card stock of A4 size and has been folded into half. I have used scraps of light blue colour textured paper and printed paper with stripes.

This is the inside of the card. I have used a white paper trimmed to fit and punched out the design in the corner using the corner punch.

The envelope is simple white one for this card. Hope you like this card.

Materials Used:

• Blue coloured textured A4 size card stock
• Light blue coloured textured scrap
• Printed paper with stripes (scraps)
• Glitter tape- blue and pink
• Sentiment stamp
• Black ink
• Self adhesive embellishments
• Glue

A Touch Of Glitter

Hi Friends!

Hope you are all enjoying Holidays. Here for the past two-three days, the temperatures have risen unbearably. Humidity is also so high that it is really irritating. I am not able to do much accept for the daily chores and a little bit of creativity. 

Today I am sharing with you three Thank you cards.  The Design is almost the same with little differences.

Usually I don't like glitter. But sometimes they add that extra to the look during a festive season or for some special occasions. 

The base of all these cards is A4 size white card stock folded into half. I have used hand made papers of different colours. They are embossed with different patterns and glittery.

I have used gold glittery self adhesive tape and satin/tissue roses.

Here I have used pink flower pattern embossed glittery hand made paper.

I have used the medium sized border punch for the sentiment label. Stamped the sentiment with black ink and dabbed a bit of pink on the edges. Alas I didn't have matching pink shade. No matter how many shades you have, the required shade is not always available.

This is the insert of the card.

Here I used leaf patterned hand made paper.

This is the insert. All the inserts are white coloured papers but exact colour is not reflected here. Sorry I am not a good photographer and the light is also a problem.

Here I have used orange coloured hand made paper.

Here I just dabbed the edges of the insert with blue ink.


Materials Used:

• White card stock
• Hand made paper strips
• Glitter tape
• Roses with leaves made of tissue/satin
• sentiment stamps
• Black, Blue, Pink inks
• Border punch
• Glue and Dimensional dots

Hope you like these cards.

Thank You Card in Purple

Hello Friends!

Hope you are all enjoying the summer and the holidays. I am just taking a break for sometime now. Shortly I have to start my summer classes and also it is the pickle season. So will be busy again.

Today I am sharing with you a simple Thank you card.

I usually prefer white or light coloured card stock. But when we buy the stock in assorted colours, we end up with some dark coloured ones. We have to use them up sometime.

For this card I picked up a purple coloured card stock. Purple and orange combination was what I had in mind. But ultimately I chose, purple, white and a bit of orange colour for the card.

I have used a purple coloured card stock A4 size folded into half. Then glued on a white card stock layer. On this I glues the star printed paper tape. Beneath this, I glued the printed Origami paper. It is kind of glossy and not too thick. But I loved the print on it which matched my base of the card.

The labels were cut using the Spellbinders dies. This is one of my favorites. 

This is the inside of the card. I have used white coloured paper A4 size trimmed to fit the card. I have punched the floral design using the border punch on the long ends of the paper, dabbed it with grape coloured ink and glued on.

The envelope for this card is simple white one.

Materials Used:

• Purple card stock A4 size and scraps
• White card stock and scraps
• Printed Origami paper 
• White paper for insert
• Spellbinders Nestabilities dies-Scalloped Labels One
• Small border punch
• Sentiment Stamp
• Orange and Grape colour Inks
• Printed PaperTape
• Glue

Hope you like this one. Please leave your comments/suggestions. i would love to read them.

Blue and White card

Here is another simple card.

I wanted to make some cards smaller in size than the one I usually make using an A4 size.  I have lots of scraps of all sizes, weights and colours spilling out of my over stuffed storage. So I decided to use some.

I always love the blue and white combination.

Here it is:

I folded a scrap of white card stock for the base of the card.

Then cut out the blue layer using the Deckled rectangles Die and glued on to the base.

I first stamped the flower pot and butterfly on a white card stock scrap, coloured it using colour pencils and then trimmed it to fit my card and glued it on the top of the blue layer.

Stamped out the sentiment on to a white card stock scrap using black ink. I scored the border using score board. I don't know whether the scored lines are visible in the picture or not. 

Using dimensional dots glued it onto the card so that the sentiment can stand out. 

I used a blue colour paper as insert inside the card. I punched out the design using small border punch.

Finally I made the envelope using the 123 Punch Board. This was one of my first attempts on the board to make envelops. I punched the design on the flap using the medium sized border punch. 

Hope you like this card. Watch out for more on my blog...

Materials Used:

• White and Blue Card Stocks
• Spellbinders Nestabilities-Deckled Rectangles- Small dies
• Flower Pot, Butterfly and Sentiment stamps
• Black Ink
• Colour Pencils
• Blue colored paper for insert and envelope

Gate Fold Card

Hi Friends!

It rained heavily here. Along with the rain there were some strong winds. I am thankful for the rain, as my plants have some respite from the heat. Nothing can substitute rain water for plants. 

Well here is a gate fold card I am sharing with you today. A simple one. It was confusing at first as to how to score for the folds. I started with an A4 size card stock. So I had to trim the length to get proper measurements for the folds. Else I was finding it difficult with the fractions and decimals. :)

Anyway now I got the hang of this particular fold. What I figured out was it was better to have the length in whole numbers instead of fractions. Better to trim off that little extra instead of trying to figure out the measurements.

This is a simple gate fold card. This one is my first card of this fold. I have used A4 size card after trimming the fractional part in the length. The card stock I have used as base is hand made with pink and silver marble design. 

I have used printed craft paper of A4 size cut to fit the folds on either side.

I have used die cuts for the sentiment.

This was an easy card to make, once I figured out the measurements for the folds.

This is the inside of the card. I have glued a thin white card stock on the center panel for writing the message.

Materials Used:

• Pink and silver marble designed handmade card stock A4 size
• Scraps of white card stock and pink hand made paper stock
• A4 size printed craft paper
• Sizzix Framelits-Circle Scallops
• Sentiment and flower stamps
• Black and red inks for stamping
• Glue

Hope you like this card. Watch out for more on my blog...

Green Thank You Card

Hello Friends!

The other night I was watching the Notre Dame Cathedral fire. It was really sad to see such heritage monument damaged. I hope they restore it soon.

Today I am posting one more Thank You card. I have used green colours basically in this card. I rarely use this colour as base except for mats or layers.

I also wanted to make a tall card or long one instead of the usual cards I make using entire A4 size card stock.

OK so here it is:

I have used an A4 size green card stock as base. But the final size was top fold 4 1/4 X 8 1/2 inches and bottom one 4 1/2 X 8 1/2 inches. The top fold is 1/4th inch smaller in width than the bottom one.

I have cut leafy vine from light green card stock using dies from Sizzix. The yellow flowers were cut using punch. The center piece was cut out of white card stock using Spellbinders dies and the edges were coloured using green pigment ink.

Inside the card, I have attached a green printed tape as border on the bottom fold. I have used light green paper as insert for the message.

Above you can see the envelope I made using the 123 punch board from We R Memory Keepers. I have used an A4 size light green paper (matching the insert) for the envelope. I decorated the envelope with the same green printed tape on the front side and more on the back side.

Materials Used:

• Green colour A4 size card stock
• White and light green card stock scraps
• Yellow colour paper for flowers
• Green Chevron printed self adhesive tape
• Light green coloured A4 size papers for insert and envelope
• Sizzix Hello Set Sizzlits Dies
• Spellbinders Shapeabilities  Pendants Lattice Dies
• We R Memory Keepers -123  Punch Board.
• Flower Punch
• Glue

Hope you like this card. Watch out for more...
