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

A Blue and White Card

Today, I am posting one more thank you card. I wanted a blue and white combination card.

So here it is.

I have used an A4 sized white card stock as base. The top fold (4X8 inches) is smaller in width than the bottom one(5X8 inches). 

I don't know what this type of fold is known as. If you have any idea please let me know.

I took a piece of blue card stock and punched out the borders using those big border punches. Then I glued a floral printed fabric tape on it, which matched it beautifully. 

Then, I cut out a label out of white card stock scrap using Spellbinders Nestabilities-Labels 20 dies.

I stamped the sentiment using blue pigment ink, outlined it using white gel pen and glued it using dimensional dots.

The insert inside of the card is simple white paper. The envelope for this card is simple white one.

Materials Used:

• A4 size white card stock and a piece of scrap 
• Blue card stock
• Printed fabric tape
• Spellbinders Nestabilities Label Twenty dies
• Border punch big
• Sentiment Stamp
• Blue pigment Ink
• White gel pen
• Glue and dimensional dots
• White paper for insert

Hope you like this card. Keep an eye on my blog for more...

Thank You Card

Hello there!

Hope you are all doing well and busy enjoying summer holidays.

The day temperatures for the past two days have been on the rise and unbearable. This is only April yet. I don't know how the coming days will be.

Here is one more thank you Card. Actually I am making a lot of thank you cards. So you will see more of them.

This is also a very simple and easy to make card. 

I have folded  an A4 size white card stock in half, then glued a green card stock layer on it and finally a layer of the printed paper over them. I love the rangoli like design on the printed paper. 

Then I cut the label shapes using the Tattered Lace Essential Dies-Decorative Rectangles(one of my favorites) from green and white card stocks and also embossed them with a smaller sized dies. 

I stamped the sentiment on the white die cut label and used dimensional dots to adhere both green and white labels to give it a little dimensional effect.

This is the inside of the card. I have used a light green(we call it pista colour) paper, cut all the four corners with border punch and glued over dark green colour paper before using it as an insert in the card.

The envelope is plain white colour. I could not make a matching envelope as it needs paper bigger than A4 size which I don't have. 

Materials Used

• A4 size white card stock
• Green colour card stock
• Tattered Lace Essentials-Decorative Rectangles
• A5 size green printed paper
• Sentiment Stamp
• Green pigment Ink
• Dark and light green colour papers for the insert
• Border punch medium size
• Glue and dimensional dots

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

Thank You Card

Hi friends!

Hope you are all doing well. 

I am busy with the Navaratri till 14th.

Finally final exams of all my students for the last academic year are over. I am relaxing a bit before I begin my summer classes and prepare for next academic year and new students.

Day temperatures are high here. All my family members were down with seasonal fever and recovering. Because of the temperatures, I have to take extra care of my little garden. 

The temperatures drain away your energy. I am only active during early morning and the daily chores through out the day especially cooking is becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Any ways, I was able to steal a little time for myself and my crafts during all this exam season and festival time.

So I will be sharing them with you. My only problem is taking photographs and preparing the list of materials I have used for creating them.

Here is a simple card half made some time back, when I did not have much die cutting resources.  With some finishing touches I finally finished it.

This is a very simple card. 

I have folded an A4 size white card stock into half and used as base. Added a strip of printed paper and then the dies cuts-scalloped circle and circle with the sentiment.

I could not resist adding the little vine pattern. I had to draw a bit with green gel pen on the pattern as it did not stamp out clearly. 

This is the inside of the card. I have used an off-white tick paper. The border has been punched, only in the corner, using small border punch and to highlight the punched design, I have stuck a glitter tape under the punched out border. 

That's all. The envelope for this card is plain white one.

Hope you like this one.

Materials used:

• A4 size white card stock
• Printed Paper A4 size-Stripes
• White and brown card stock scraps
• Sizzix Framelits-Circle scallop 
• Essentials by Tattered Lace-Circles
• Small Border Punch
• Sentiment and vine Stamps
• Brown (brownish Orange?) and Green Inks
• Copper coloured Glitter Tape
• White A4 size thick paper for insert
• Glue

Watch out for more. There is lot to share with you...

Thank You Cards

Hi Friends!

I thought I have finished all my social engagements and so I can take some well needed break and rest properly. But no. I have received some invites which I cannot decline.

I am so very tired and need rest before I start cleaning up and preparing for Pongal festival. Alas can't do that till some more time. I still have some work left in my garden which I need to finish off before the temperatures start rising. as of now it is cold-all time low I think. But soon the temperatures will start rising for spring and then the summer.

Well here is one thank you card I would like to share with you today:

The base is white card stock. The layer on the top is coral or Bitter sweet(?) as per my search on a site. I don't think the colour is properly reflected in the picture . But then my photographic skills and editing skills are very limited.

Some time back, I bought some paper doilies of different sizes and designs in a sale. It was dead cheap. Well, I have been itching to use these for some time.

I am making a bunch of thank you cards and one of them is the one above. Since I have to make a lot of them, I want them to be simple and easy to make.

The rose is made of satin ribbon, ready made with leaves. I have got an assorted pack with different colours. So I used the matching one here.

Materials Used:

• A4 size white card stock
• Bitter Sweet/Coral colour Card stock
• Paper Doily
• Satin ribbon rose with leaves
• Butterfly sticker
• Self adhesive half pearls
• Sentiment and matching Ink
• Glue

So what do you think about my card? If you like it please do send in your comments/suggestions. Please share the link and like my page on FB.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Friends ! Hope you are all doing well.

Here the water crisis continues. Temperatures are down a bit but lots of humidity. Well here is a simple thank you card:

The base is blue coloured textured card stock. This looks darker than the actual colour.

I have used three coloured hand made paper, which has an embossed grid on them. I cut out squares out of them and attached it to the card using glue. 

Then I punched out the butterflies-four of each colour from the metallic papers. For making one butterfly, I took one butterfly and attached another one with dimensional tape to give it some dimension. Then I added the crystals. I attached the butterfly to the squares using glue.

I stamped out the sentiment in black ink on a circle punched out of yellow card stock, a thinner one. I sponged the edge with orange ink. Then I attached it to the card with dimensional tape.

Hope you like it.

Materials Used:

Blue coloured textured card stock

Yellow, orange and green Hand made papers

Yellow and purple metallic paper.

Yellow card stock

Butterfly and Circle Punches

Coloured crystals

Sentiment stamp

Black and orange Inks

Dimensional tape and glue.
