Set Of 8 Thank You's!

Hello,

Posting in a jiffy :-/

It was time I posted my June ICRSwop.... Both received as well as made to be posted to the receiving partner....

And June Swop was all about Creating a Set of Eight Thank You Cards; All designed same but in eight different colors, with coordinating envelopes for the same...

So to begin with here is what I made.... My Set of Thank You's!



And I was inspired by

Sunday Stamps with Colors....
Stamplorations June Challenge with the Theme & Sketch....



The card above was the first I made, thru which I made derivations for further deviations....

 

Few parts in pieces awaiting to be put together.....

 

 Set of card stocks scored & creased for the card base....

I cut the layering panels in all different colors possibly I cud find in my available stash .... And for the one color I cud not find, I decided on making it myself....

• I burnished the ink pad on the layering panel CS a few number of times to get the color I wanted... 
• After which like on all the other colors, I ran it through the cuttlebug with the leaves embossing folder from Itsy Bitsy hat I had picked up long back.... Finally its used!
• Before embossing I cut the panels in the shape I wanted & saved the plain pieces aside

So here are all the parts set & kept aside.... to be consolidated with the colors & designs, respectively...


 {yeah... :P The new dining table is my crafting table for now until my craft room is all set for me to work in.... Family can eat elsewhere, but i cant work elsewhere... ;)} 

I now had to put them together in the combinations that seemed appealing to my eyes then... which means I love few of the combos whereas few more just seem fine....



This card above is the color CS I made & I combined it with dark chocolate.... which is just fine!



This is my favorite combo of all.... So pleasingly cute!
Stamped with a different sentiment... Ready to wish a birthday for someone sooner.... :)

Now I had to make the coordinating envelopes for the same.... I did not have my envelope stash here with me & had to run to landmark to get some.... But my bad! There were none... However I picked up these lengthy policy envelopes for my perusal..... 

I down sized them to fit my cards in.... Further cut down the parts of the flaps & ran it through the cuttle bug through the same embossing folder as I had to match them with the cards going inside.... The best I cud figure out was embossing the flaps & leaving them with a feel of blend.... 



And here is what they looked like when I put them together to get my final envelopes for the cards....



Below are the other combos for a glance...



 

And here is the beautiful set of cards I received from my swopping partner..... Karthika!

Love the neat & crisp look & feel to the cards.... Thanks a bunch for your dedicated work....

There ends my lengthy well illustrated blog post for this swop project...

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
