Dive deep mermaid card

Hello there,

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

I am back with a cute mermaid card. Its very simple card with some ink blending and simple using distress oxide inks - Salty ocean, Broken china, Cracked pistachio and Twisted citron and the mermaid stamp is from Greeting farm. I inked the sea with salty ocean, cracked pistachio and twisted citron and for the sky I used broken china. I spritzed some sparkle water and let it dry. In the meantime, I coloured the mermaid and fuzzy cut the image. I added the image to the card base and added some gem stones and a sentiment to finish the card.

Summer drink brew it

Hello there,

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

I am back with another scene card where I used Brew it Anya. Of late I am trying to make cards by creating a scene around the image and it opens up a huge dimension for our imagination. I love greeting farm designs and this is one of my favorite ones. Its super hot in India and still we can'd survive without a cup of hot beverage. My dad loves coffee and he can't start his day without a cup of fresh brew. 

I first stamped the image and started working around the image by by adding coffee shop window and door. I didn't add sentiments to the card but left it plain as it is.

'Shine & smiles' - One die two cards

Hello there,

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

I have tons of dies with me and end up only using a few of them. While I was doing my part for spring cleaning, I figured out I had this Sunburst Cover panel from Reverse Confetti which is definitely an old one lost in my pile. After digging this out, I wanted to make one card. I had no idea to make two with one die. 

I took a sticker sheet I had and inked it using Daffodil and Sunflower from Craftyscrappers and then die cut the panel. After that I saved the remaining pieces and decided to make another card. 

I removed the back of the sticker and added it to a white cardstock. 

Then, I added the image and finished with adding a sentiment. 

For the next card, I wanted another inked background that compliments the sun rays colours. So I ended up inking a white cardstock with Peacock at the middle and Arctic towards the sides and these inks are from Craftyscrappers. 

Before finishing the first card, I did die cut inlay here. I used the die cut from the first card before adhering it, and used it as a guide to inlay all the pieces together. 

Once, its done I added the cutie image from Insanely happy and finished with a sentiment.

Shadow box card picture tutorial

Hello everyone,

I here with an amazing project as a part of DT for Rainbow Craftykari with a tutorial post (link to the blog at the end of the post). Its a very simple and easy project - Shadow box card. The pictures may look a little complicated but its not. It will take only 5 mins to create the box, its that simple and easy.  There is a lot of scope to work here but I have kept mine simple. 

Materials: 
12 x 12 card stock (any colour)
12 x 6 card stock
Martha Stewart score board
Pencil/Pen
Ruler
Adhesive tape & double sided adhesive
The Greeting Farm stamp - Trishell (mermaid), Maisea (sentiment)
Your Next stamp - Fishy fun
Colour pencils
Hero arts ink 
Ink blending tool
Scissors
Clear water droplets

Let's start
1. Take a 12 x 12 card stock. To make it easy, I have marked them A & B.

2. Place the card stock on scoreboard. The card is to be scored at 1",1 1/2", 2 1/2" and 3". This is on all 4 sides of the card stock. No need to crease the scored lines now. 

3. Note this step very carefully. To be marked only on sides marked A..

Mark one inch from the last scored line and two more marks as shown in the picture. 

4. Using a pen/pencil connect these points as shown in the picture.

The sections marked X are to be cut. 

5. After the sections are cut. (Only on sides marked A)

6. Now crease the scored lines and turn the paper over. 

7. Now its time for adhesives. Adhesives to be applied on the outer part of the card stock.

Turn the card stock over and apply adhesive as shown in the picture. This is to be pasted only in the last. Do not paste them before the last step

8. Start pasting sides marked B first. One side at a time. Remove the paper layer and fold the side as shown (half of the scored lines)

The fold will be facing the inside of the card

Repeat the same on the other B side

Now, push the folded sides out. This part makes it easy to fold and paste the other two remaining sides.

9. Repeat the same way of sticking these sides. If you see the picture carefully, I have the side adhesives still intact and yet to adhere them. 

10. This is the final step to make the shadow box. Remove the upper paper on all sides and push all the sides together in to create the box

11. Score the 12 x 6 card stock in half to create a 6 x 6 card. 

Adhere the card to the back of the shadow box

12. To decorate my shadow box card, I used stamps from The Greeting Farm and Yours Next Stamp. I stamped all the images on ninah white card stock and coloured them using colour pencils. 

First, I used some yellow ink from hero arts to add some highlighting behind the mermaid and adhered the mermaid using double sided adhesive to give dimension. 

I used normal liquid adhesive for the rest of the images. I added some clear water droplets to give bubble effect. 

I kept the inside of the card simple as well. Just added a fish and a turtle with a simple sentiment from Yours next stamp. 

I hope the tutorial was useful and fun.
