Recently I realized that I ran out of card! I know, I know, how did that happen? So I need to make some new ones and I thought I would show you what I made.
I am still trying to use items in my stash, so I started with old dictionary pages and went from there.
handmade cards
I used paper from my stash and embellished with stamps, ink, washi tape, and stickles.
The result is 3 fun, and easy cards to make and to send.
Thank you cards are something we all need to have and these easy DIY cards are perfect for almost any occasion. And since I am obsessed with watercolors, these are right up my alley 🙂
These would be great gifts for new homeowners, newly weds, or graduates.
This first card is super easy and looks really cute. All you do is spritz the watercolor card with water and then lightly spray 2 different Dylusions ink sprays. Move the card to blend the colors in the middle, then add some washi tape at the bottom and stamp Thank You in the middle and you are done! Quick and easy and they look great!
This next card is also super fun and easy to make. Which is great because you can make a lot of them ahead of time and have them ready! For this one take a wet paint brush and paint with water in a blob type shape. Then add some watercolors into the blob, you can mix the 2 in the middle and blend them together. Add splashes and a stamped Thank You to the middle and some washi tape on the bottom. Now you have another Thank you card for your stash.
This last card takes a little longer, but it is worth it. All you do is watercolor the sky, starting with the lightest color and work your way darker. Blend carefully, you don’t want to create mud. Once the sky is dry it is time to paint the mountains. I just used black acrylic paint to make the mountains and then I lightly drew in the trees with the same paint. Now you have a cute sunset card that is perfect for all occasions.
There you have it, 3 easy watercolor Thank You cards.
Have you seen the WISH app? I have to say it is a bit addicting, lol. I recently found some cheap craft supplies and I thought I would test them out. Remember to be safe online and to make sure you are secure before ordering anything.
Some things have been a hit, while others have been a miss, but that is the way it goes sometimes.
Find coordinating papers that will work with your keys. I used the Recollections pack- Flea Market. It is full of beautiful papers that are perfect for this card. I used the suitcases and the gold dots.
Cut the suitcase paper to size, then rip the coordinating paper to size. Ink the edges of the ripped paper. Add the tag, ink the edges and add the key. Adhere it all to the card. The ink will need to be heat set so it will become permanent.
For the sentiment, stamp the image on the label in gold and set it with clear embossing powder.
I think I found some good craft supplies from WISH, but watch the prices and be patient, it will take a few weeks to get to you. And be safe when shopping online.
I think it turned out really cute. I am excited to see what other deals I can find on WISH.
What have you found?
