Congratulatory Card

Today I am posting a congratulatory card. I am making some in advance.


This is for celebrating success. I think it  can be used for success in exams, new job or new house, engagement, marriage. I will just add one more sentiment if needed for that particular occasion. Or else I will just add the appropriate message inside.

Now for making this- I started with baby pink textured card( I told you I have tons of them and need to use them at the earliest). I attached the blue chevron printed tape. Then I added the musical instrument stickers. I don't have musical note stickers or stamps. A few of them would have made it better. May be I will add it later, if I can find them. Then I stamped the sentiment "Celebrate" using a clear stamp mounted on acrylic base, on to a pink card stock strip. Then attached it to a blue card stock strip. Cut them into the shape you can see and attached them with dimensional tape.

The banner of glitter multi coloured tape was an after thought to pep it up a bit and give it some colour. I have used a multi coloured cotton thread. You can see here. I used it because it is thick. But it is not showing in the card. 

Any way, I have varieties of threads and yarns of different weights, colours and for different uses, ranging from embroidery, crochet, tatting, knitting etc. I experiment with them and use them in various crafts.


So that's it. the card is simple and easy to make. 

Materials used:

Textured baby pink card stock
textured blue and baby pink coloured card stock strips
Blue printed tape
Musical stickers
Multi coloured Glittered tape
Multi coloured cotton thread.
Sentiment (clear) stamp mounted on acrylic base
Black ink for stamping


So what do you say about this card. Do watch out for more.......
