Happy Shopping! Hx
I have started to make a few of these cards as thank you’s. My partner’s daughters bought us a meal to have at home… it was a lovely surprise so we wanted to say thank you. I bought the set, What’s Cookin’ so I could make cards that said thank to friends who have cooked for us or if I send a food parcel to friends. It is versatile and could be used for anything home made.
The below card I made for some friends who we sent a veggie box to to say thank you for all they do for us and the community.
I suggest
cutting the card at 210mm x 142mm and scoring at 105mm and then trim the card
down when folded in half to 99mm x 142mm
Night of Navy 148mm x 105mm
In Good Taste DSP 95mm x 99mm and 198mm x 5mm and 105mm
x 95mm
Silver Foil - strip about 20mm wide
Night of Navy - scrap for the utensils
I have a link you can click on below to take you to all the products I used to make the card.
Here is my video showing you how I made the card. I apologies in advance, it is a long video but there are a few techniques which I am sure you will enjoy and I hope will try for yourself.
Hi there and welcome.
The measurements and card that I am using are
Basic White 210mm x 148mm and score in half at 105mm
Expressions In Ink SDSP 142mm x 99mm
Be Dazzling DSP 110mm x 93mm
Basic White 90mm x 90mm & scape for the pot plant here that we cut out.
I am used memento ink to stamp the door image on the basic white. I used my Stamparatus for the stamping. I stamped the tulips at the same time in memento ink on the scrape piece of basic white.
As this is a House Warming card I just wanted the sentiment to say “Feels
like home” and not “Your friendship feels like home to me”. What I did was covered the words I didn’t
want with some washi tape. You can cut
up your stamps if you wish, it would make is easier if you were doing lots of
cards the same. But if you are like me I
get nervous about cutting the stamp up then feel free to do what I do and cover
the words…. You do have to remember to take the tape off before stamping. I have stamped on a clear sheet and then I
can position where exactly I want the sentiment on the card in the Stamparatus.
To colour the picture I am used my Stampin’ blends to colour.
The Blends I am using are:
Daffodil
Just Jade
Granny Apple Green
Pumpkin Pie
Smoky Slate
Shade Spruce
Mint Macaron
Polished Pink
Cinnamon Cider
Crumb Cake
Bronze
Color Lifter
There are a lot
of colours that I am using but feel to keep it simple and use what you
have. I will be using the Just Jade and
Granny Apple Green for all the foliage but you could use the one green instead. I am also using Polished Pink and Daffodil
for the flowers and again you could do all the flowers in the same colour and
match in with the door. Main idea is to have
fun and follow the stamped image.
Once I had completed the colouring I wanted to add some interest to the boards,
so I used the colour lifter to lift the colour just to add a subtle bit of
interest.
Cut out the tulip pot and place a mini dimensional on
the back.
With that all done all that is left is to put the card
together. I used my liquid glue and
glued the DSP down to the Basic White card.
With the Be Dazzling DSP I am going to use my paper trimmer to cut out
the middle as this will not be seen and we don’t want to waste this gorgeous
paper. I am going to allow a boarder of 15mm. I find the paper trimmer the easiest to use
to do this. You can use your snips.
Now I can use the middle piece I have cut out for
another project.
Glue the Be Dazzling down using liquid glue on an
angle.
Place Dimensionals on the back of the basic white card
and place straight and in the middle of the card. The place the potted tulip in front of the pots on the left hand side.
That is the card done.
Here is the pink one
And here is the green one I have done.
Which one do you like?
