Book card for a baby

Hello there, 

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

"Looking for a baby shower gift that's truly unique and heartfelt?" or "Tired of the same old greeting cards?" Here is an idea I wanted to share, Book card.. Its super fun and has so many small details and stories. I used pattern paper from Dress my Craft and flowers from I am roses - R6 (Round roses) and S10 (Small Achillea Cottage) and elements I printed them out which I found randomly.

Let me share a story here and imagine this one with me.

Little Emma was still too tiny to understand much, but her mama knew just how to keep the magic of these early days alive. On Clara's first birthday, a mysterious package arrived. Mama carefully untied the ribbon, her eyes sparkling, and inside lay a wondrous creation – a little book, handmade with love.

On one side, a miniature world unfolded. A soft sky held fluffy clouds, and friendly bears sat beside bright alphabet blocks – A, B, C – ready for all the stories they'd read together. It was a cozy, dream-like nursery scene, perfectly capturing the soft wonder of Emma.  

This isnt just a card but the first treasure, a magical book and a start for an adventurous journey in a life of a baby.

Spring flowers

Hello there,

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

Spring is in the air and I am all about die cuts and music. For my card today, I am working with only dies and they are one of my favourites. All dies are from dress my craft - Guitar, mini florals and leaves and alphabet dies. I die cut the guitar and layered them together as they are layering die set and added some leaves and flowers to one side of the guitar and a birthday sentiment to finish up the card.

Gift envelope

Hello there,

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

I am so excited to be here with an gift envelope I made recently. I had a call from my husband's cousin saying that they will be staying with us for a few days. This is their first time meeting us and as per our customs we can't let the guests leave empty handed. I had a couple of these envelopes made for the boys and gave saree and kurta top for the girls. For some reason, I still don't get it, I buy saree for myself and I somehow end up gifting them to dear ones. 

Moving on the envelope, I made this in about an hour using all products from Dress my craft. Of all the pattern papers I used from Dress my craft, this Magnolia forever is my all time favourite. I am planning to make a mini album using this envelope. The best is the element sheet with beautiful floral designs that compliment the papers. I made some flowers and leaves using DMC dies and viola, my envelope.

Its all about die cuts

Hello there,

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

I am back with another card for today and its about using die cuts and turning them into a card. I am addicted to adding die cut pieces in my cards and they turn out to be pretty. I had a beautiful leaf die with me and decided to work with it. I die cut the leaves from three green cardstocks so I can stack up different shades of green to make a beautiful spread. I used mini flower dies to make small flowers and add them to the card. I wanted a pretty background for the card so I used my embossing folder to make an embossed base for the card. I added the background piece and added the die cut leaves and flowers and finished the card with a sentiment.

Gift wrap envelopes

Hello there,

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

Today, I have another project which I made recently for a friend using Pink smoke collection from Dress my craft. This is one of my favourite pattern papers and love the elements that come along with the kit. I used violet and blue card stock for the envelope base and added the paper and elements along with some die cuts and other embellishments like laces, small tags, mulberry flowers. This is a perfect envelope for gifting money or small jewelry or gift cards or gift vouchers.

Stretch your dies

Hello there,

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

For today, I decided to raid my dies and pick out a couple of them and stretch them out turning them into super fun cards. I have two cards for today and both are simple cards and I made them under 20 mins. I didn't have to sit and fuzzy them out and added colour using alcohol markers which made my colouring job super easy. I love colour pencils because they are easy to add details plus I find it more comfortable or better to say I am bad with markers. I die cut all on white cardstock so I could use colours of my choice to colour them. 

This time, I was very fortunate to come across some new challenges to participate and I hope they like my submission. 

Dies used: Flowers #9 - Craftgully and Foliage leaves #5 - Dress my Craft..... 

I would love to hear which is your favourite card in the comments below

Card 1

For this card, I used an old die from Birch press design (the die is retired and its from a layering die set)

Instead of die cutting, I embossed the die for the background and added it to my card base. I has tons of card bases ready to go. 

I used the die from Craftgully and I am in love with their dies. They die cut through any cardstock in one go and they are pocket friendly. I definitely recommend you to check out their dies. 

After die cutting, I used my alcohol markers to colour in the dies

I added them to the card base and a sentiment from Altenew (Label love) and pearls to finish the card.  

Card 2

For my next card, I used the same background die to emboss the background of my card. 

I die cut all the three leaves from foliage die set and was ready to colour.

I used shades of green, a hint of brown and a hint of yellow. I went along the sides of the die cut too so the white rim is not seen. 

I stamped a sentiment from Concord & 9 and fuzzy cut the sentiment. 

I added pearls and the sentiment to finish the card.

Tubby Craft DIY birthday kit projects

Hello there,

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

Birthdays are such a wonderful occasion to celebrate with loved ones. How to make it more fun??? By using out DIY paper craft kit - Birthday theme from Tubby Craft. This kit has all the basics we need to create cards and tag and more... The kit contains a stamp set, stencils, ink pads, white card stock, shaker elements, acrylic block, blending brush and pattern paper. I enjoyed making these 3 very very simple projects using this kit. 

Roseate topper

I took 2 pattern papers from the kit and trimmed one down to 3 pieces of 2" wide and 2 pieces of 1" width.

Using my scoreboard, I scored at every quarter inch and trimmed out the last cut alone. 

I did valley fold and mountain fold and burnished the scored lines well.

I used liquid glue to attach the pieces together

To make the roseate, I pinched the sides together and sealed it with a small circle piece and hot glue. 

I used the large cake image from the stamp set and for the candle, I used a number candle from the stamp set. 

I added cotton gauze, twine, floral elements and die cut leaves first. Then, I added the cake and the sentiment. 

To finish the roseate, I handle which I made using pink cardstock. 

Card

I kept the card very very simple. I took the iris cardstock and the stencil provided in the kit along with the ink pads - Aqua blue and light pink. 

Using the blending brush, I stenciled a background. 

I added this to a kraft notecard base. Then, I added a small piece of pattern paper to this. 

I stamped the cupcake image along with some candles. From the stamped images, I coloured only two cupcakes and kept the rest like that. 

I added the coloured cupcake to the center of the card and the non-coloured ones here and there randomly. 

To finish the card, I added some flowers and liquid pearls.

Tag

Finally I will finish this post with a tag. The tag measure 3 x 6 inches and the base is white cardstock. 

I trimmed down one part of pattern paper and added it to the base.

I stamped the huge cake and 'Happy birthday' sentiment along with a candle and coloured and fuzzy cut it out. 

To add some embellishments, I used the last sheet from the pattern paper, which has small tags which can be used and I used a couple of them and added the cake to it. 

To finish the tag, I added some flowers,liquid pearls and a tassel.
