Small Thank You card

Hello!

Hope you are all doing well.

Today I am posting a card made out of remaining scraps.

The size of the card is 12.5 X 14.3 cms or 5 X 5 +5/8 inches. Since this was the scrap left over from some other project, I don't usually trim them unless the edges are damaged.

I have used Tent Fold for this card.

Thank You Card
I have used Negative of the die cut as the layer. I have doodled with white gel pen inside the scalloped circle which may not be clearly visible.
Insert
Inside the border has been punched using small border punch. The same has been used on envelope. I made the envelope myself as it is difficult to find ready made ones for odd sizes.

Thank You Card

Hello Friends. Today, I am sharing another Thank You card.

Thank You Card

This is a landscape card. Size is 13.5 cm X 22cms. 

I have tried to use materials manufactured by the local artisans as much as possible so that the local business is encouraged.

This card is made with punched designs. Actually, during a session of punch craft, I was trying out various punches. If the punched out designs go wrong somewhere, they will remain as scraps. Some can be used as it is, some need some minor trimmings, some require major cuts and some cannot be salvaged at all.

These punched designs can be used for making cards, book marks or scrapbooks. Those which cannot be corrected and used, I use them for stenciling. 

So I dug out my stash and tried to make use of them in my creations. This is one of such cards.

Hope You like my creations. If you like my work please follow me on my blog, FB and Insta. Also like my page on FB.
 
Thanks a lot to all my supporters for their love and support.


Materials Used:
  • Light Pink Coloured Handmade Card Stock
  • Dark Pink Coloured Handmade Card Stock
  • White Card Stock Scrap
  • Border Punches – Medium and Small

Thank You Card

Hello Friends!

I am sharing a Thank You card today. Its made out of left over scraps.

The dimensions of card are 7 X 11 cms after folding. So this may qualify as a Slim Line Card. When I am working with scraps, I don't stick to standard sizes. I don't want to cut off pieces if it is not necessary. Why waste the product as well as money?

Thank You Card

Thank You Card
As you can see the top folding is 1 cm less than the bottom fold, to show the chevron tape added to the inside of the bottom fold.

I drew the flowers with fine tipped black ink pen and then filled in the colours with inks pens. 

I did not use any fixative to protect the drawing. 

Then I cut off  using scalloped oval dies. 

Hand Drawn Flowers

Here is a closer look. I am not a great artist. I just doodle it. Moreover I am self taught so my skills are not that perfect.

Actually I doodled lot of flowers and other images sometime back on white card stock scraps. I prefer white card stock as base as they go easily with any other colours and can also be coloured if required.

You know I love to watch old movies with my mom in the afternoons. That's the time we spend together. So while watching it I sometimes take up the drawing and sketching activities. 

Also when I am not able to or don't feel like crafting, I prefer to create some of these so that I can use them later on as card toppers. 

Only problem is that if I don't space the images properly, it is quite difficult to die cut them. I am not so adept at fussy cutting.

Its good to have stock of such images as you can easily create a card in emergency.

Stamps are so costly, especially when they are branded ones. I can't spend so much money on them. It takes time to build a stash of craft materials. 

When I started crafting, there were not many online shops. The few shops were only selling branded stamps. So I prefer drawing my own images. 

Since the flowers were pink, I used matching pink coloured card stock. In fact I was too glad to use my florescent card stock. It is very difficult to use them in card making as colour combos are difficult to match.

Card Insert

For the card insert, I added a punched out matching pink paper.

Envelope

This is the matching envelope I made my self. It has punched border on the flap.

Card-Envelope

So this the final product. Hope you like them. Please do leave your comments/suggestions.

Thanks a lot for all your love and support. Please keep on supporting my work.

BirthDay Card

Hello Friends!

Hope you are all doing well. Hope you are all safe and healthy.

Here the third wave of Covid has ended. The cases have gone down. We have been permitted to  return to normalcy but following the Covid appropriate behavior. So we cannot let our guard down completely. 

Educational institutions, offices and other establishment can now function normally. So slowly we can venture out but carefully.

Well we have to wait and see.

Birthday Card

Today I am sharing yet another Birthday Card.

Birthday Card

I have used textured Kraft Card Stock as base. 

Browns are one of the colours along with florescent colours which I usually avoid when making cards. This is because, we have to carefully choose the  embellishments or inks for stamping or other accessories as the colour combo is limited. 

But then I have seen some artists making amazing cards using browns or other such colours.

What do you think?

This card was very simple and easy to make. I have loads of printed paper tapes and puffy stickers lying around. So I chose to use some of them here.

Most of the material used was ready made. I had to punch the border, stamp the sentiment, dab the edges with a bit of pink and  attach it.

Insert

This is the inside of the card. Its actually pale baby pink paper which is not reflected in the image. I left the space blank for wishes which can be added just before sending.

Hope you like my work.

Peaches and Lilacs

Hello Friends

I have some peach coloured card stock. I am always confused as to which other colours can be paired with peach colour. Can someone please suggest some colour combos?

Well here is my card:
