Safari birthday card

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

Jungle friends are the best for sending birthday wishes especially when cute and adorable images are used to make a birthday card. For today, I used super cute images from DCAM Safari animals along with some die cut leaves. I used a ton of leaves which I die cut from various shades of green and stacked them one on top of the other. I tucked in the animals as I was layering the leaves and added a double border and a sentiment with some gemstones.

Lets zoom

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media. 

I am here with a super fun and cute card using You make my heart race stamp set from My favorite things. This is an adorable set that has a cute image of a girl riding a bike and along with it there are a couple of cat images too with some lovely sentiments. I worked on kraft cardstock for this card and kept it clean and simple. Its a one layer card and I kept the colouring very simple along with just a sentiment. I coloured the Vespa in red and and this image reminds me of the time in Italy. I could've added some more on the background like some buildings or a garden but I left it clean and simple.

'Lady' - Shabby chic card

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

As you all know, I make a lot of shabby chic cards these days using pattern paper and element sheets. Its the best way to use element sheet and mix them up with different pattern paper and other embellishments. For today, I have card made using elements from Lady pattern paper from Mintay papers. I was able to get only the element sheet and used them in making a layout and a card. I also made some flowers from cardstock and added them to the card along with some die cuts as well. 

Thank you for stopping by and hope you all enjoyed the card.

Stay happy and keep crafting.

'Forever young' layout

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media. 

I am addicted a lot to making layouts by just using elements and today I have a layout made using Forever young from Mintay papers. There are so many elements in the sheet to play with and its so colourful. They have used wonderful colours like pink,yellow and blue for this paper collection. I stuck with these colours to make the layout. 

This pack can be used for multiple themes like birthday, celebration, anniversary, fun carnival and more. When I started with making layouts, I had no idea where to start and how to work about. I started working on them and honestly I ended up making yuck layouts. I figured out that layering elements is the key to creating a good layout. 

I have all the elements fuzzy cut and ready and then I start searching for a pattern paper where I can work on. I choose papers that go along with the elements colours and finally comes the stensils. For mixed media there are tons of stencils and I have none of them but I use what I have in hand. 

Next comes the colours for the base.. I go along with the elements colour and flowers also go with the same colours. I try and make handmade flowers but my laziness gets in between and I end up adding mulberry ones. But here, I decided to use my foamiran flowers, small ones which were perfect for the this layout. To add more to the layout, I added some foliage chippie, stones and decotones.

Chabby chic birthday card

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

Mixed media panel

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am back with anther mixed media project this month for The Crafters Challenge. The theme is anything goes as always. I used a lot of texture and die cuts. I have this jigsaw die and cut out some pieces from it along with gear dies. I bought the gear dies recently from Itsy bitsy and they are awesome. They make the perfect alternate if you don't have gear chippies. 

They are individual gears so it can be used in a number of projects and not just mixed media. Once gesso is applied, the die cut papers don't warp or get destroyed. I will be using these dies a lot in my projects. 

Thank you for stopping by and hope you all enjoyed the project.

Stay happy and keep crafting.

This image of the baby sleeping is the cutest and along with this image, I used elements from Swati craft corner. I did some watercolouring and stenciling for the background and added the images together along with the sentiment. 

Thank you for stopping by and hope you all enjoyed the card.

Embossed stenciled and floral card

Hi there,

I am here today as a part of design team for The Creative Crafters blog and I used stamps and stencils from HNDMD. The stamp set I used for this card is a set of lovely lotus flowers called Hello lovely and used sentiment from the same set. 

I did some simple colouring and and fuzzy cut them. This is a one layer card and hence did stencil embossing. Stencil embossing is an easy and fun technique where I used an emboss pad to do some dry embossing instead of usual inking technique. 

I added the coloured images together and stamped the sentiment and finished with some gemstones. 

Hope you liked this card.
