A Touch Of Glitter

Hi Friends!

Hope you are all enjoying Holidays. Here for the past two-three days, the temperatures have risen unbearably. Humidity is also so high that it is really irritating. I am not able to do much accept for the daily chores and a little bit of creativity. 

Today I am sharing with you three Thank you cards.  The Design is almost the same with little differences.

Usually I don't like glitter. But sometimes they add that extra to the look during a festive season or for some special occasions. 

The base of all these cards is A4 size white card stock folded into half. I have used hand made papers of different colours. They are embossed with different patterns and glittery.

I have used gold glittery self adhesive tape and satin/tissue roses.

Here I have used pink flower pattern embossed glittery hand made paper.

I have used the medium sized border punch for the sentiment label. Stamped the sentiment with black ink and dabbed a bit of pink on the edges. Alas I didn't have matching pink shade. No matter how many shades you have, the required shade is not always available.

This is the insert of the card.

Here I used leaf patterned hand made paper.

This is the insert. All the inserts are white coloured papers but exact colour is not reflected here. Sorry I am not a good photographer and the light is also a problem.

Here I have used orange coloured hand made paper.

Here I just dabbed the edges of the insert with blue ink.


Materials Used:

• White card stock
• Hand made paper strips
• Glitter tape
• Roses with leaves made of tissue/satin
• sentiment stamps
• Black, Blue, Pink inks
• Border punch
• Glue and Dimensional dots

Hope you like these cards.

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...
