Thank You Card

Hello Friends!

I am sharing a Thank You card today. Its made out of left over scraps.

The dimensions of card are 7 X 11 cms after folding. So this may qualify as a Slim Line Card. When I am working with scraps, I don't stick to standard sizes. I don't want to cut off pieces if it is not necessary. Why waste the product as well as money?

Thank You Card

Thank You Card

As you can see the top folding is 1 cm less than the bottom fold, to show the chevron tape added to the inside of the bottom fold.

I drew the flowers with fine tipped black ink pen and then filled in the colours with inks pens. 

I did not use any fixative to protect the drawing. 

Then I cut off  using scalloped oval dies. 

Hand Drawn Flowers

Here is a closer look. I am not a great artist. I just doodle it. Moreover I am self taught so my skills are not that perfect.

Actually I doodled lot of flowers and other images sometime back on white card stock scraps. I prefer white card stock as base as they go easily with any other colours and can also be coloured if required.

You know I love to watch old movies with my mom in the afternoons. That's the time we spend together. So while watching it I sometimes take up the drawing and sketching activities. 

Also when I am not able to or don't feel like crafting, I prefer to create some of these so that I can use them later on as card toppers. 

Only problem is that if I don't space the images properly, it is quite difficult to die cut them. I am not so adept at fussy cutting.

Its good to have stock of such images as you can easily create a card in emergency.

Stamps are so costly, especially when they are branded ones. I can't spend so much money on them. It takes time to build a stash of craft materials. 

When I started crafting, there were not many online shops. The few shops were only selling branded stamps. So I prefer drawing my own images. 

Since the flowers were pink, I used matching pink coloured card stock. In fact I was too glad to use my florescent card stock. It is very difficult to use them in card making as colour combos are difficult to match.

Card Insert

For the card insert, I added a punched out matching pink paper.

Envelope

This is the matching envelope I made my self. It has punched border on the flap.

BirthDay Card

Hello Friends!

Hope you are all doing well. Hope you are all safe and healthy.

Here the third wave of Covid has ended. The cases have gone down. We have been permitted to  return to normalcy but following the Covid appropriate behavior. So we cannot let our guard down completely. 

Educational institutions, offices and other establishment can now function normally. So slowly we can venture out but carefully.

Well we have to wait and see.

Birthday Card

Today I am sharing yet another Birthday Card.

Birthday Card

I have used textured Kraft Card Stock as base. 

Browns are one of the colours along with florescent colours which I usually avoid when making cards. This is because, we have to carefully choose the  embellishments or inks for stamping or other accessories as the colour combo is limited. 

But then I have seen some artists making amazing cards using browns or other such colours.

What do you think?

This card was very simple and easy to make. I have loads of printed paper tapes and puffy stickers lying around. So I chose to use some of them here.

Most of the material used was ready made. I had to punch the border, stamp the sentiment, dab the edges with a bit of pink and  attach it.

Insert

This is the inside of the card. Its actually pale baby pink paper which is not reflected in the image. I left the space blank for wishes which can be added just before sending.

Hope you like my work.

Happy Republic day

Hello Friends!

Today as we celebrate our Republic day, we salute our brave hearts, who sacrificed their lives serving and saving the country.

Be it army personnel, police, doctors and health workers, teachers, farmers and all the working class last but not least home makers - every one of us contributes to the building up of the Nation. Every ones contribution is important.

These are tough times. Many lost their lives, lost jobs or lost members of the family. So many small businesses and industries were shut down. Family incomes have drastically been reduced as the bread earners either lost their lives or lost their jobs. There is still confusion and uncertainty as to what the future holds for us.

Many kind hearted people have come forward to extend help. It does not matter how little the help is or in what form it is. It matters a lot to the receiver. Even if we cannot help them financially, standing by them, wiping their tears, encouraging them to come over their grief is also a big thing.

We have come across so many instances where, people helped in what ever way they could, irrespective of age, religion or region. Many instances have gone unnoticed. Such instances of kindness and empathy motivate us to do what ever we can to help our brothers and sisters.

Slowly and steadily we are all recovering. But still we need to be cautious. We need  each others support as we come out of these tough times. 

We Indians can and will bravely face such tough times and come out successfully. It has been proved in the past and it will be so in the future too. 

Our culture, our traditions have imbibed the qualities of resilience, kindness, tolerance, optimism, philosophical outlook and so on.

We all need to put in our efforts, in which ever way we can, in what ever form it is possible. It need not be on large scale. 

I am proud of our culture, our traditions and our Nation. I am proud to be an Indian. Aren't you?

Please stay safe and healthy.

Wishing you all a Happy Republic Day.
