Blue and White Thanks

Hey everyone, Natalie here! For today’s project, I spent some time brainstorming and looking for a bit of inspiration. Instead of turning to Pinterest—always a fun and reliable source—I found myself thinking about my mom. She used to collect blue and white pieces: vases, plates, teacups… all the beautiful things! And just like that, I had inspiration for a blue and white thank you card.

Let’s take a look at my card for today

Cardstock

• Classic Crest Solar White
• Lessebo Navy Blue
• Lessebo Arctic Blue
• Curious Translucent Clear Vellum

Preparing Pieces

• Cut Classic Crest Solar White cardstock to 5 1/2 X 8 1/4.
• Score at 4 1/4
• Cut white panel at 5 X 3 3/4
• Die cut frame out of Lessebo Navy
• Die cut out flower/leaves with Lessebo Navy and Lessebo Arctic Blue
• Die cut Thanks out of Navy and shadow out ofCurious Translucent Clear Vellum

Putting it Together

• Adhere the Arctic Blue die cuts slightly to the left of the matching Navy Die cut. Do this as many times as you need to fill your card panel.
• Adhere the leaves and flowers onto the white panel, with some going off the edge.
• Trim the edges of the white panel so it is even
• Add Navy Frame on top of the white panel, giving a nice edge.
• Lastly add the Thanks to the card using liquid adhesive.
• Using foam tape, add the finished panel to the card base.

I love finding color inspiration in the world around me. If you ever get stuck in a rut, just look around your house (or your mother’s :). Home Goods is also a great place to discover color combinations and general inspiration.
