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...

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...
