Expressions in Ink Thank You - International Blog Highlights



I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for June! Thank you to everyone who voted for my card in May - I was so excited to be in the top ten winners.

As always the theme for the blot is - Thank you. 

I created this pretty pocket card featuring the Expressions In Ink Bundle.  Who wouldn't want to get this thank you card in the mail!


Instructions

  1. Cut 2 pieces of Pale Papaya cardstock 4 1/4" x 11".  Score at 5 1/2" on both pieces
  2. Cut from the score line to the bottom corner on both pieces.
  3. Adhere the 2 pieces together using Tear and Tape adhesive to form a card base that has the 2 points on opposite sides at the bottom.
  4. Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4".  Cut the piece in half on the diagonal.
  5. Adhere to the card base front on the triangular flaps using Stampin' Seal.  Use one pattern on one side and the other pattern on the other side.
  6. Adhere the left hand flap along the bottom of the card base using Tear and Tape adhesive.
  7. Adhere the right hand flap along the bottom of the card base using Tear and Tape adhesive.
  8. You now have a pocket.
  9. Cut Basic White cardstock 3 3/4" x 5 1/4"
  10. Stamp image on top using Pale Papaya ink.
  11. Cut Pale Papaya cardstock 1/2" x 2".  Fold in half and adhere to the top left of the Basic White piece to create tab.
  12. Insert into pocket
  13. Cut Pale Papaya cardstock 1" x 11".  Wrap around card base to form belly band.  Don't make this too tight if you want to be able to remove the belly band.
  14. Cut out second smallest scalloped rectangle from Basic White cardstock.
  15. Stamp sentiment using Shaded Spruce ink.
  16. Adhere to belly band using Dimensionals.
  17. Stamp flower using Magenta Madness ink and cut out using Die
  18. Stamp leaves using Shaded Spruce ink and cut out using Die.
  19. Adhere flower to rectangle and belly band using Dimensionals.
  20. Adhere leaves to back of flower using Glue Dots.
  21. Adhere Ephemera piece to back of flower using a Glue Dot.
