Thank You Card

Hi Friends,

 

Happy Friday!  Hope you all have a nice relaxing day to welcome your week-end. 

 

Today I am sharing with you a Thank You card that I made.  I don't normally send out Thank You cards- but I love how this one turned out.  The card is so bright and fun.  You could simply change up the sentiment with any that you choose. 

I have step by step instructions on how to create these below.

What To Do:

1.     Stamp flower image from the clear stamp on the white cardstock base with the embossing ink pad.  Pour the embossing powder onto the stamped images and heat set with the embossing heat gun.

2.     Cut eight strips of paper from the paper pad in to various widths and lengths: ¼ inch x 4 ¼ inch, ½ inch x 4 inches, ¼ inch x 3 ¾ inches

3.     Glue each strip down to the bottom of the card base.  Layering on top of each other.

4.     Optional:  Sew two vertical lines on the left of the card and one horizontal crossing the vertical lines.

5.     Punch out 2 Accent Frames from white cardstock.  Cut the acetate down to slightly bigger than the center of the Accent Frame.  Glue the 2 Accent Frames together with the Acetate in the center, creating a window.

6.     Glue glitter on top of the Accent Frame with the 2 way glue pen.

7.     Stamp “Thank You” onto white cardstock with black ink.  Cut the Thank you apart to create two pieces. Ink around the edges with blue ink.

8.     Stamp the flower four times, once with each color Blue, Orange, and Green.  Then Twice with Pink.  TIP:  For a Two Tone effect: sponge ink around the edges with one color then in the center with another.

9.     Cut each flower out except the green one.  The green if for the leaves. 

10.  Glue down the frame to the top center of the pattern paper you glued down already.

11.  Layer the flowers around the frame.  Use the foam dots to get more dimensions.

12.  Glue Gem stones into the center of the flowers.  Tuck one of the leaves under each of the flowers.

13.  Glue down with foam dots the “Thank” and “you” onto your card.

Got Washi???

Hey Everyone,  

Yes this is a post from me today.  :)  

This past week I was busy, busy...  I was redoing my Small Scrapbook Studio.  (AKA the Scrap Room)  I just think Studio sounds better. (Scraproom tour coming soon)  {Smile} In the midst of the mess, I came across a card I made a while ago, when I was part of the "Pink by Design" design team and I wanted to "CASE" myself.  :)  (CASE=Copy And Steal Everything)  If you want to look at the card I made before- go to this post here:  CLICK HERE 

On this card I used various washi tape in my collection.  After I laid out my tape on my card stock, I ran it through my big shot with an Anna Griffin embossing folder I picked up at a big box store.  I love how it adds texture to the card with a nice floral design.  I grabbed my corner chomper by We R Memory Keepers and rounded the bottom edges of both the white and black card stock.  The white card stock was adhered to the black with some foam dimensionals.  

I stamped "Happy Birthday" on a scrap paper and cut it out like a banner.  The stamp is from Inkadinkado called "All Occassions".  (This was a set that EK Success Brands gave to me as part of the Creative Artist Team.) 

The button is from October Afternoon and I laced twine through it and tied in a bow.  I glued the button the card with Fabri-Tac.  That button isn't going anywhere.  he he he..   

I wanted to share with you my Washi Tape Storage Containers. 

This is a small Sterilite container that has 3 drawers.  I tried to have each drawer with its own color, but that didn't work for me.  I have more colors than I do drawers.  Can you say--Washi Addict?  

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you haven't already done so please check out a new blog called:  www.thecraftingjournals.com.  

Thanks

I've got a fun card to share with you today using a Inkadinkadoo stamp. This was fun to put together with all the bright colors. Even though it is cloudy here in New Jersey I hope this card brightens your day. :)

I stamped this image 4 times in different colors of ink. Then cut out certain parts of each one and layered them accordingly on top of each other. I matted the finished piece with black card stock to make it pop against all the bright colors.

I cut 1/2" strips of pattern paper from K & Co Sweet Nectar paper line and used my EK Success Square punch to punch out the bottom of each of the strips to make pennants. Then I cut the strips to different lengths to have them staggered across the card. To finish off the card, I used my Scalloped border punch and make a border and then cut a very thin strip of black card stock to give it a place to ground.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
