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...
