Artistic Monochromatic Thank You Card

This is a simple artistic monochromatic thank you card made using the Artistically inked stamp set to showcase the ‘eclipse technique’.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the artistic monochromatic thank you card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Poppy Parade card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3”
Scrap Basic White card.

Taking the dark Poppy Parade Blends Alcohol Marker, I coloured in a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and set it aside to dry. I love that with these markers we can have ribbon in almost any colour. The ribbon was then wrapped around the larger Basic White panel and adhered on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glue to the Thick Basic White card front.

On the smallest panel of Basic White card, I stamped the long-textured image in Poppy Parade ink, right across the middle.

Using a T square ruler, I drew a straight pencil line just below centre and using the Playful Alphabet Dies cut out the letters for the word THANKS. I used washi tape to hold the letters in position whilst running them through the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine.

The panel that the letters were cut from was glued to the Poppy Parade panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the same dies I die cut 2 more of each letter from Basic White card, glued each pair together and added the stamped letter on top. This gives each letter some height and definition. The letters were then glued into the negative spaces on the card front using the liquid glue.

I added a bow to the side of the word and a trio of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

Congratulation Alaska incentive trip achiever

Congratulations Alaska Incentive Trip Achiever

Today, I am sharing a card I made for my lovely upline Mikaela to congratulate her on achieving the Alaska incentive trip. She has put so much time and effort into winning this trip for herself and her family and so deserves it. She is an amazing mentor and team leader. Go Mikaela…………x

AS the trip is to Alaska the card had to have an icy theme so I started by using the snowflakes from the, oh so versatile, Colorful Seasons stamp set. I stamped them in Island Indigo ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 7⅞” by 3⅞”. I knew the card base had to be long to accommodate all those letters……….. I took the stamped panel to the Big Shot and die cut the letters A, L, A, S, K, A from the panel using the Large Letter framelit dies. I then ran the same letters through again using lots of scrap Whisper White cardstock until I had a total of 4 of each of the letters – 12 A’s in total…….

Using Tombow Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped layer with the cut out letters onto a panel of the gorgeous, new Champagne Glimmer paper. I took each letter in turn and adhered 3 Whisper White die cuts to the back to form a stack of each letter 4 pieces high; before adding each letter back into the appropriate space on the stamped panel. I love the dimension the stacks of letters give to this project.

I added some of the tiny stars from the Star of Light stamp set in So Saffron ink along the top above the letters and glued the whole panel to an Island Indigo card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added a 7⅞” by 3⅞” piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside having stamped down the edge using the snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set in Island Indigo, Pacific Point, Marina Mist and Pool party ink. I added the sentiment from the Lift Me Up stamp set which seemed so appropriate in Island Indigo ink. I stamped the envelope using the same stamps and colours.
