About Me

My photo
My name is Natalie and I love anything to do with card/paper. I have been a papercrafter for many years now and I never get bored playing with all the wonderful products available. I've been married to my wonderful husband Nathan for 35years now and we are still very much in love with each other as the first day we met each other. We have 3 wonderful children and 5 gorgeous grandchildren so we have lots to be thankful for. Since joining Stampin' Up! in 2018 I've grown so much in confidence with myself and I even tackle technology, which for me is a huge step to have taken, but I'm getting there slowly.

Kylies International Project Highlights - Tranquil thoughts thankyou card

Hello again everyone and welcome to another Kylie Bertucci monthly International Blog Highlights. It's April already which means we are nearly 1/4 of the way through 2021........ just doesn't seem possible! Anyway this month to carry on with the on going theme of 'Thankyou' I've used a really lovely bundle called 'Tranquil thoughts' and 2 of my absolute favourite colours together - granny apple green and bermuda bay, so let's crack on with the project I have for you all, please don't forget to hop on and give me your vote by clicking on the highlighted VOTE FOR ME   I'd really appreciate it.


Materials needed:

Bermuda bay cardstock

1 piece 5-7/8" x 8-1/4  score on the longside at 4-1/8" for card base

White basic cardstock

2 pieces 4" x 5-3/4" - for the inside and front of card layer

1 piece approx 5-7/8" x 4-1/8" - for the die cutting of the leaves 

Bermuda bay classic stampin' pad

Granny apple green classic stampin' pad

Blending brushes

Rhinestone basic jewels

Snips


Card Instructions

Score, fold and burnish the card base.

Attach the inside white layer to the card. 

Die cut the apperture out of the front of card layer as below.



Now with the other piece of white card die cut the leaves border out.


Now with the waste piece from this section stamp all of the images needed, using first, second and third generation of ink for the flowers.


Using the snips fussy cut all of these images out.

Now using the blending brushes ink the leaves border and the leaf frame section using both the colour inks until the colour you like.

Lay the finished leaf border on the front of card layer and see where you would like to stamp some of the little flower images, making sure that you wipe off any ink that goes onto the section of the image that isn't required, I used post it notes to cover mine up, remembering to remove each time I stamped. Once I had all the flowers I needed I glued the leaf border into place.

Now glue this whole front of card layer into place. Carefully place glue on the back of the frame and glue this into the apperture part on the front of the card base.

Glue all of the fussy cut flowers and the 'Thank you' sentiment into place add some rhinestones and the card is finished. Quick and easy card but, I love these colours together!
