Envelope card using "Tech Support"

 Hello, Hello!!!

I'm jumping on this week to share with you the "Tech Support" stamp set that I've been wanting to play with for some time. I LOVE everything about this stamp set because it's perfect for any "tech-y" person in your life. I have a few of those in my life.

I chose to enter this envelope-card into this week's TGIF Challenge #383. 

This was certainly a challenge to work on! I use white cardstock about 95% of the time! I was up for the challenge so I knew I had to make it happen somehow. My creation focused on what I found to be called the "tech blue" color scheme, which I found on my search on the internet. 

I really liked this color combination so I went with it. I associated the colors in the color palette with the following SU! colors: Night of Navy, Starry Sky, Coastal Cabana, Pacific Point and Gorgeous Grape. The Crumb Cake cardstock was my substitute for the White cardstock- the neutral color.

I love envelope-cards because it's simple to create and it's just a fun card style altogether. 

Cardmaking Tips:

• The envelope was created using the retired Stampin' UP! Envelope Punch Board for a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card size. One end of the envelope was trimmed off. Finished size is 4-3/8" x 5-7/8".
• Randomly stamp the keyboard image onto the envelope and the 1" x 4-3/8" strip of Coastal Cabana Cardstock using White Craft Ink.
• The Night of Navy strip of cardstock measures 2-1/2" x 4-3/8".
• Randomly stamp the "error 404" sentiment onto a 2-1/4" x 4-3/8" piece of Starry Sky cardstock using Starry Sky ink. Adhere onto the Night of Navy piece.
• The stamped Coastal Cabana cardstock strip is adhered on top of the Starry Sky piece.
• Cut a long piece (maybe 24"?) of linen thread and tie the ends together to make a circle. Twist the thread so that it makes an infinity shape and fold it in half to make two smaller circles, overlapping one another. Adhere the linen thread with some glue dots.
• Set a Gorgeous Grape square, cut from the largest die in the Stylish Shapes die set, on top of the linen thread with dimensionals.
• Stamp the binary numbers onto another stitched square, cut from the 2nd largest die in the Stylish Shapes die set, on Pacific Point cardstock. Using the Amazing Phrasing stamp set, stamp "Woo Hoo" as shown with versamark ink then heat emboss with white embossing powder. Adhere this piece onto the Gorgeous Grape square.
• PLEASE NOTE: The Amazing Phrasing stamp set is only available until August 31, 2022.
• Adhere two 4-1/4" pieces of Starry Sky metallic ribbon behind a 9/16" x 3-1/2" strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock that has the "to another year" sentiment embossed onto it.
• For the inside of the envelope-card, Adhere a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock onto a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Starry Sky cardstock. Stamp the keyboard image randomly in white craft ink then the "happy birthday" sentiment. Lastly, Staple some Starry Sky ribbon towards the top.
