Hey All!

Remember this Card?

I do have to say, this is one of my ‘all-time’ favorites!

I was thinking and thought I’d make a bit, smaller version

as ‘All Occasions’ Cards, with this layout!

I opted, also to omit any greeting, at all!

 

Here is the Card!

I went vertical, instead of horizontal!

 

Here is the inside of the Card!

I left these all plain. I am giving these to our friend in Maine,

where, only the GOOD lobsters, come from!

HERE ARE THE STOCK AND MEASURES:

CARDSTOCK:

For the Cards and envelopes…I used Michael’s Recollections package of cards and envelopes, in a grayish color! (the color is real close to Sahara Sand)

The card measures, 5.50″ x 8″ scored @ 4″ fold in half on the score

Night of Navy- large mat, 3.75″ x 5.25″   smaller mat, 2.50″ x 3.75″

strip across the front, .50″ x 3.50″

Whisper White- large panel, 3.50″ x 5″    small panel (lobster) 2.25″ x 3.50″

STAMP SET:

By The Tide- (retired, but I will never get rid of it!)

Lobster and Coral

INKS:

Night of Navy- lobster

Crumb Cake- all coral

 

Here is the Card, again!

I kept this card, I stamped the coral twice on the envelope, in error!

 

Here is the box of Cards!

All tied up with Sahara Sand/Night of Navy Baker’s Twine!

A regular A2 box will work with these Cards!

They are only a 1/2″ shorter in width, than a standard A2 Card!

I left these cards blank…the writer can use them for any Occasion.

Since the gift is going to an older gentleman, perfect!

 

Until the Next Post…Blessings to you ALL!

 

Hello Folks!

Another box of ‘Thank you Cards’

for my Host’s and Hostesses!

 

Here is today’s Thank you Card!

I saw this Card out in blogland and I had to CASE it!

 

Here is the simple inside!

Plenty of space for the personal note!

HERE ARE THE STOCK AND MEASURES:

CARDSTOCK:

Notecards and Envelopes from Stampin’Up!

Whisper White- front panel, 3.25″ x 4.75″

I used a panel, to absorb all the coloring, and then attached to card front.

I didn’t want the coloring to bleed through on the cardfront. Using a separate

panel, keeps the card’s inside clean and neat!

I used a scrap piece to stamp and color and fussy-cut the seahorse

STAMP SETS:

Seaside Notions- seahorse and coral

Peaceful Moments- greeting

INK:

Bermuda Bay- seahorse

Terracotta Tile- coral

I used 2 different Aqua-painters, filled with alcohol and 5-6 drops of

Stampin’ Ink Refill.

Coastal Cabana- background ‘water wash’ and to ‘color in’ the seahorse

Calypso Coral- to ‘color in’ the coral on the card front panel

 

Here is the Card again, with it’s matching envelope!

I love this color combination! Summery!

 

Here is the gift box and this card next to it!

I used the leftover Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine (from the Bonanza Buddies Suite)!

 

NOTECARD BOX:

Box bottom- Bermuda Bay 5 7/8: x 7.50″ scored @ 1″, all four sides

Box lid- Whisper White 6″ x 7.50″ scored @ 1″, all four sides

trim flaps and adhere together

Stamp and decorate the lid BEFORE box lid is put together!

 

Until the next Post…Blessings to you ALL!

Hello All!

Here is the next to the last Card in the Artistry Blooms DSP Series!

This was fun to make!

I did do fussy-cutting on the flowers, but they weren’t hard to cut out.

I also took the Light Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends Pen

and edged the flowers with the pen, it covers up any white edge that shows!

It also seems to define the edge of the flower too!

 

Here is the Card!

LOVE how this turned out!
