Blue and White Card

Hello!

Today I am posting a Thank You Card.

I have used only two colours: Blue and White.

Blue and white Card

As a base I have used White Ivory card stock after rounding off the corners with a punch.

Blue and white Card

Then added the blue card stock and printed paper.  After that I stamped the sentiment on a square white card stock piece glued it to the die cut with dimensional dots and then added the entire thing to the card with dimensional dots. 

Blue and White Card Insert

Inside I have added a blue insert with rounded of corners and white insert with  punched the border (slightly smaller size).

This card has plain white envelope.

I wanted it to be simple and easy to make. That's why I have used only two colours. Hope you like this card.

Please do leave your comments and suggestions on my work.

Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!

A Big Thank You Card


Hello Friends!

Still raining continuously. Its all damp and temperatures have fallen quite considerably. Its like in mid winter. 

Weather forecast indicates heavy rans for next two three days. 

That means, we can't step out of houses. 

I was planning to go shopping for some essentials and completing some pending works as Corona cases have gone down considerably. Before the third wave strikes I have to complete certain must do works. But with this rain it is not possible. I hope it clears at least next week.

Well here is a card I made for my niece. I still remember the day. We just returned from the outing all exhausted after a long day. It was 10 pm. I was busy cooking dinner. Just then my niece got a call from school that she has to bring a big thank you card for a guest visiting her school.

This is no  surprise. Kids seem to remember their projects or other school work late in the night, which they have to submit it the next day. So parents have to toil and help them. It always happens like that. None of the reprimands or punishments work. Next time it is same again. Parents do keep stock of stationery and other such things at home to avoid shopping at that time. But still something is always missing. 

My niece asked me to help her make it. At that time of the day on Sunday no shop would be open for purchasing any material. But luckily as a crafter I have stash of lots of things. 

So both of us managed to make this card by digging out some material from my stash. 

Big Thank You Card

The base is a White Ivory Card A3 size folded in half (Portrait) and trimmed it a bit. Then glued Printed paper from JAGs. 

I then added the die cut Fancy Lattice. This die cut was already there in my stash (I had pre cut some dies for testing newly bought ones). I wanted to trim it but my niece just wanted as it was.

Then I added the sentiment stamped die cut using Timeless Rectangle dies. This was also cut and stamped previously. I always keep a bunch of sentiments ready in my stash just in case I need them suddenly.

We added some fancy buttons and floral stickers.


For insert I had to paste two A4 size white sheets one on either side and masked it with blue Plaid Tape. I did not have A3 size papers for insert.

We added some floral stickers on the insert. 

All in all my niece was happy. Next day she and her class mates added messages and presented it to the guest. Everyone liked the card. 

The card was done in a hurry and we were also tired. We could have done better had we had some time to prepare it. 

Please leave your comments and suggestions if any. They motivate me to create more.

Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!

Thank You Card

Hello There! Hope you are doing great!

Here it is still raining on and off. But today we have some sunshine. That's a great blessing. But it will soon rain again. 

I don't mind rains. In fact without monsoons we will not have water for drinking or for our agriculture. It is great for my garden too. But continuous heavy downpour is really difficult to manage.

Well here is another card. Again a thank you card. I have used three colours, white as base and purple and orange combo for the touch of colour. One of the ways to reduce my scrap stash.

I have lots of scraps of various sizes, colours and textures lying around. I have stuffed them into polythene bags. There is a lot of dust here in India and we have to keep everything in covered boxes or bags. 

In India we don't get much storage or organising items for craft materials. Even if we get the cost is too high. So we  are forced to manage with whatever is available.

Thank You Card

This card has plain white insert and a plain white envelope.

Hope you like this one.

Thanks a lot for spreading love and joy by visiting my blog and commenting. It means a lot to me. In these difficult times mostly locked down (self imposed) in our homes and fearing to hear about loss of your kith and kin, it is quite depressive and sad. It has been like that for the past one and half year. The future too seems uncertain. But we can only pray and leave everything to HIM.

Watch out for more...
