Simple Thank You Card

Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing another Thank you Card. Its very simple and easy to make.

Thank You Card

The base is White Ivory Card stock A4 size folded into half; that is A5 size. This is also a tent card but in landscape orientation. 

I have scored 5 lines at the top of the card using scoreboard and scorer. I think they are faintly visible. Then I adhered the printed paper tapes with glue so that they don't peel off. 

I have used the butterflies punched out from mauve and white card stock in some other project. I trimmed (square) the  left overs of punched out pieces, layered them and used it here. I used dimensional foam dots to give it some dimension.

Actually I have scribbled some scrolls on the white cardstock using white gel pen, from which the butterfly was cut. But it is hardly visible in the image.

Next I stamped out the sentiment on white card stock using two inks for shadow affect. I cut it into oval shape and adhered it on mauve coloured oval die cut and then glued it to the card.

This card has simple white insert and a plain white envelope.

So what do you think of the card? Hope you like it. Please leave your comments/suggestions.

Thanks a lot for all your love and support.

Materials Used:
  • A4 size White Ivory Card Stock
  • White and Mauve coloured card stock scraps
  • Printed Paper Tapes-Mauve, Pink and Green
  • Scoreboard and scorer
  • Butterfly Punch
  • Sizzix Framelits Die Set – Ovals #657563
  • Sentiment Stamp
  • Purple and Light Pink Pigment Inks
  • White Gel Pen
  • Purple coloured half back pearls
  • Plain White Insert
  • Simple White Envelope
  • Glue and Foam Dots

Thank You Card

Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing with you another Tent Fold Card which is also small in size. Its size of 5.9 X 3.9 inches or 15 x 10 cm on folding. I have made this card with left over scraps. So it is not of standard size.

Thank You Card

So here it is. The card has white background. The pistachio coloured printed paper is soft and subtle, against which I wanted a striking coloured sentiment and butterfly. 

That's why I used orange and magenta coloured pigment inks for colouring the sentiment die cut. The sentiment was cut using Spellbinders Phrase Set 2 Dies. It  is  one of my favorites. The die cuts are big and chunky.

The butterfly was cut from the coloued stock cards using I O Fancy Butterfly Dies. It has two dies one background and one intricate  one.

I think magenta and orange colour combo is bold but beautiful, though both are strong colours. In small dose it grabs your attention specially on a subtle background.

Thank You Card-Insert

This is the insert with punched border.

Thank You Card-Envelope

Here is the matching envelope with punched flap. 

I think the card turned out beautifully. Simple and easy to make.

On second thoughts even with out the butterfly, the sentiment die cut alone would have been a great focal point. Next time I will try out that with some dimensional foam.

Hope you liked my card. Please do drop in your comments/suggestions. 

Thanks a lot for all your love and support. Please do keep supporting me if you like my work.

Materials Used 
  • White Ivory card stock
  • Tangerine and Dark Pink coloured card stock scraps
  • Spellbinders Phrase Set 2 Dies
  • I O Fancy Butterfly Die
  • JAGS Beautiful Flowers Paper Pack 6X6
  • Pistachio and Olive colored papers for insert
  • Pistachio coloured paper for envelope
  • Border Punch medium size
  • Versa Color Ultimate Pigment Inks- Magenta and Orange 
  • Corner Rounder Punch
  • Glue and Dimensional Dots

Hello

Hello Friends!

Hope you are all doing well. Its been a long time since I posted. 

This is first time in my blogging history that I could not post Rangolis during the December January (Dhanurmasam) season.

Since Covid times we all have had our problems to cope with. Some lost their kith and kin, some lost their jobs, some lost their health and many such problems. Stress worry, depression, health issues - many of us had to deal with these and still dealing with them. I too had my share of problems. I did not feel like blogging at all. I kept away from arts and crafts and creating something new. Just keeping up with routine was all I could barely manage on my personal front.

Any way life has to go on.  If  life was predictable and without any ups and downs it would cease to be life and be without flavor. When we reach the end of the rope, we must tie a knot in it and hang on it till we find a way out.

R. W. Emerson said that life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. We will face many defeats in life, but we must never let ourselves be
defeated. Every time we fall, we have to pick up ourselves and get going. 

So I too decided to get going and my motivation for this thought is all YOU people out there who are supporting me and standing by me and encouraging me.

Please do keep on showering your love and support. Thanks a lot to all you beautiful souls.

I want to post frequently now may not be daily but much frequently now. Let the NEW YEAR motivate all of us to get up, face the challenges and get going at full throttle.

What do you say? Do you agree? Will you keep on supporting me?

THANK YOU !

Thank you for all your kindness and support. Watch out my blog...
