Blue and White themed Thank You card

For March, the theme set for the Tech 4 Stampers blog hop is ‘Blue and White’.

I designed my card using lots of new Online Exclusive products. Check out all online exclusives here.

To make this card;

To create my card I used the colours Misty Moonlight and Basic white throughout.

The card base is a standard base (half an A4 sheet, folded at 10.5cm. Using the new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder on a piece of 10×14.4cm basic white card orientating the stripes to go vertically on my card. I mounted it flat onto my card base using Stampin’ Seal – I find this stick better than wet glue on uneven surfaces. (There is certainly nothing ‘mini’ about this embossing folder – it is a 6″x6″ folder!!)

I then took a smaller piece of basic white card (8×12.9cm). Again using the corrugated embossing folder, I took my Misty Moonlight ink pad and this time I swiped it along the top section of the inside of the embossing folder, thus applying a layer of ink to it. I then placed my basic white card onto the bottom section of the embossing folder, ensuring the stripes would now run horizontally. Carefully I closed the embossing folder and ran it through my cut and emboss machine. This then puts ink into the ‘divots’ of the card but leaves the rest of the card white.

I mounted the blue and white striped layer onto a layer of Misty Moonlight card measuring 8.5×13.4cm, again using Stampin’ Seal and then then ran some bakers twine around the centre of this layer before I mounted it. I then used Dimensionals to adhere the blue and white striped layer at a jaunty angle onto the plain white corrugated base.

Framed Scenes stamps and Dies

The Lighthouse comes from the new Framed Scenes cling stamp set (online exclusive), and was stamped onto a small piece of Basic White card with Misty Moonlight ink. I used the smaller of the 2 ovals from the co-ordinating Framed Scenes dies to cut out the stamped image, and then used the larger oval dies from the same set to cut a Misty Moonlight card layer to mount the stamped image on.

The simple ‘thanks’ was from a set from the annual catalogue called Best Family Ever. (This stamp set is one that I’m sure I will keep long after its retired from the annual catalogue!) I’m often in need of a ‘Thank you’ card, so the opportunity to use this as the sentiment for my card was perfect, so, I stamped the ‘thanks’ in Misty moonlight onto a strip of white card and then snipped the end at a jaunty angle before adding dimensionals and adhereing it to my card base.

To finish I took some Iridescent Basic Pearls and using a Misty Moonlight blender pen, I coloured 3 of the pearls and then I left them to dry for a few minutes before adding them to my card front. I also added a white insert into the centre of the card.
