Sparkle all the way

Hello there,

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

(SCROLL DOWN TO SEE CLOSE UP OF CARD)

Lets make a card using Geo arch stencil and Foliage shaker die from Pink fresh studio. Its not the usual card I always make but there is a twist here. Lets start with stencilling first. Its a layered stencil and I used 3 colours for stencilling and creating a base. I kept it aside and did some die cutting using foliage shaker die. I used a very thin cardstock and hence had to do quiet a few die cuts. One die cut I did using silver sparkle cardstock. I stacked them all together and let them dry under some heavy weight. While they were drying, I drew two hexagons on the stencilled base and cut them out. I pasted the rest of the base to a top fold white note card and used double sided foam adhesive to add the hexagons as they will give some dimension and beautiful effect to the card. I finished the card with a sentiment and some gemstones.

Azalea card

Hello there,

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

I am back with another card here using Azalea stamp set and Wooden 3D embossing folder from Altenew. I love this floral set as it has layering images and outline image to colour. I stamped floral outline twice along with some leaves and coloured. I fuzzy cut the images and kept them aside and added embossed background as card base. I finished the card with a sentiment and some embellishments.

Sunflowers bloom

Hello there,

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

I am back with another card using Sunflower washi stamp set with coordinating Sunflower washi layering stencil and for the background Geo arch stencil from Pinkfresh studio. I love sunflowers and they are my favourite. I always find a reason to use sunflowers stamps when I can. This set I bought a while back and feel its amazing for cards and scarp layout. I didnt colour the flowers and instead used stencil to colour them.

Roseate birthday cake topper

Hello there,

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

I am here again with a birthday cake topper where I made DIY pattern paper using stencils and ink pads from Tubby craft. Its super fun to make something different as a cake topper or embellishment. Its so easy to make and I used coloured cardstock to stencil and scroll down to see. Though its not shown much in the picture, it looks so beautiful in real. To add some more to the roseate, I added stamped and coloured cake image and some die cut leaves and flowers. The same roseate can be used on various projects like to make small embeliehsments or ATC or to decorate albums or even cards..

Over the rainbow

Hello there,

I used multiple colours to stencil the base of the card stock and stamped the unicorn on a white cardstock along with the small rainbows and the sentiment. I coloured the unicorn and added it to the stencilled background. This stencil can be turned around and also used as waves to make underwater scene. I added the unicorn and sentiment and finished with some gemstones.

Tag it card

Hello there,

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

Its already March and I am starting this month with a bright and fresh card using Greenwood flowers, Flowers & leaves, Label love, Pocketful of sunshine mini ink cubes and Green fields mini ink cube. Its a simple and cute card where I used the stencils to make flower and leaves using pocketful of sunshine and green fields ink cubes. I die cut a tag from Little birdie and kept it aside until I stencilled the flower and leaves and fuzzy cut them. I used 3D embossing folder for the card base and kept it in white as I left keeping it neutral was looking nice. I added the stencilled pieces to the tag and added it to the embossed card base. I stamped a birthday sentiment and added it along with some embellishments.

Its all blue

Hello there,

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

I am working with primary colour to make two cards and they turned out to be pretty. For the first card, I did some stenciling work along with stamping and the next card has some stamp layering and highlighting them further. 

For this card, I used stencils and stamps from Craftangles/HNDMD - 8 petal lace and Hello lovely along with Jet black ink from Tubby craft for stamping the lotus and sentiment and Carribean sky from Altenew to stencil the background. I used alcohol markers and pencils to colour the lotus and fuzzy cut the image and added it to the stenciled background. I finished the card with gemstones and a sentiment. 

For the second card, Its very simple one here using Glacier caves ink set and Stunning cosmos stamp set from Altenew. I stamped the images and for some highlight, I used a pencil to highlight the petals. I finished the card with a sentiment and gemstones.

Highlight stencil

Hello there,

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

I am back with one of my favourite techniques which is highlighting stencils. I have done this many times and love working on this. The best way to create colourful cards is when you use stencils which has bigger colouirng space like the one I used here. For this card, I outlines the butterfly with a pencil and I used alcohol markers to colour first. I used colour pencils to give some depth and shading. I used a black marker to add an outline to the butterfly and this enhances the colours. Its a very very simple card and the focus stays on the technique. I finished the card, with some gemstones and a sentiment.

Lotus always

Hello there,

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

“If you know how to make good use of the mud, you can grow beautiful lotuses.” I am in love with lotus when they bloom and I used stencil along with the stamp. I have a very simple card here today that works with stamps and stencils. I used products from HNDMD - Hello lovely and Net lace and used distress oxide ink to stencil and grey ink to stamp the image. I did a no-line colouring using pencils and fuzzy cut the image. I stencilled the image on one side of the card and added the flower on it. I added some gemstones and stamped the sentiment. I felt the card was too plain and decided to add a border. This is a one-layer card and its so simple and easy to make.

Stencil a flower

Hello there,

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

I like working with stencils when they have a lot of large spaces to work with by shading and adding interest to them. For this card, I used Floral mini from Mudra stamps to work along with markers, pencils and shimmer pen. First, I embossed the cardstock and the oval in the middle is I inked the stencil with a cream ink to get the design. I used pencils first then used alcohol markers to work on some details and then for the shine, I used my shimmer pen. I finished with a die cut sentiment and some gemstones.

Rakshabandan cards

Hello there,

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

On a special occasion to celebrate the love between brother & sister, I have a couple of simple cards. No matter how much a brother fights with his sister, he will always be there for her to protect her. I used stamps and stencils from Tubby Craft to make these cards. 

Rakhi Card

For this card, I made a rakhi and placed it right in the middle of the card

To make the rakhi, I used Moroccan tiles stencil. The stencil has 4 designs and I chose one of the designs

I used Lavender violet and Lilac purple dye inks to stencil the design on a white cardstock and then die cut a circle.

I also die cut a black circle and added it under the stenciled piece

I used another stencil to add on two sides of the card base using Lead grey, as I wanted a subtle look to the background.

I took my markers and drew some strings for the rakhi

To finish the card, I added the sentiment and some gemstones. 

Card for brother

My second card is super simple and fun

I used Sibling festival stamp set and used the image from the same

I used kraft cardstock for this this card and coloured with pencils

I used my white gel pen to add some interest to the eyes and the girl's clothes along with some markers for more details

I finished the card with sentiment using Jet black ink and added a couple of rakhis to either corner of the card.

Card for Women's day

Hello there,

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

Today is all about celebrating womanhood globally. I grew up surrounded by strong women, I realized we are the strongest and we make a change. My grandmothers were married off at a young age and I am talking about 1940/1950, where it is a social norm to get married and have children. Both my grandmas had children after 4 years of their marriage since they felt that completing their education was the first priority.  Even after finishing their schooling and having children, they continued to study and well-versed in various languages. My mother grew up in such an environment and she was working as a banker when she met my dad. 

After having my brother and me, she felt empty and decided to do something for herself. She joined a few NGOs and started educating under privileged children, host blood donation camps and teach women the importance for having a voice.  She inspired me so much, that when I started working I had to do something and sponsored a few girl children for their education and I am still doing that and the best is my husband supports me in this. 

With this being all said, I am sharing two cards to celebrate Women's day along with Tubby Craft. each card is made differently and has a interpretation as well. Each of us are unique and we need to embrace that happily. 

Card 1

My first card is a simple one using Bloom stamp set, Dot illusion stencil and sentiment from Special day greetings stamp set. 

I stamped the image on white cardstock and coloured it with pencils. 

I stamped the image again on masking paper so I can stencil around the image.

I added the masking paper and used dot illusion stencil and used Lavender violet ink to stencil. 

Using Jet black ink, I added the sentiment and some pearls to finish the card. 

Card 2

This is a super fun card I made and I used Vintage wishes stamp set, Aqua blue ink for the sky and sentiment from Bloom. 

I stamped the girl from the stamp set and coloured her.

For the background, I used alcohol markers and colour pencils together to create a meadow and tree. 

I mildly inked the top of the cardstock with Aqua blue ink and added details to the tree and grass. 

I added a sentiment from Bloom stamp set and added it to a top fold note card.

Stencil your background

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

I am happy to share another card making post here and this has a video tutorial as well. The video is below and do not forget to check it out and subscribe to the channel. 

This is inspired by one of Jennifer McGuire's video and I did a lot of inking and stenciling. I changes some of the technique here by using light and medium shade of inks instead of using the dark shades and this ended up giving a different look to the cards. 

Making cards and trying new techniques are my go to place for reducing stress and playing around with inks are better. I have a super messy craft cupboard and hunting for the right products is time consuming plus I am lazy to organise it as it will get messy again.... lol

For both my cards today, I am using Altenew dye inks and stamps from Craftyscrappers and Mudra. For the stencils, I used Tubby craft stencil and hero arts stencil. Inking up the background and leaving the image uncoloured gives a beautiful touch to the cards.

Bitterrot flowers

Hello there,

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

I am back with another card and its all florals this time with products from Altenew. For my card, I used Deck planks 3D embossing folder and Bitterroot Flower layering stencil along with inks from Altenew as well. 

I played along with their monthly challenge and I used the colours from the same. I went a step ahead to make it more fun by only stenciling one layer for the yellow flower. The stencil I used has 3 layering components for each element and its wonderful to use. There is coordinating dies as well for them but I went ahead and fuzzy cut it. I sometimes feel fuzzy cutting is faster for me unless there is a lot of curves like leaves..lol

I used Shades of purple for one flower, Tropical forest for the leaves and calyx and Warm sunshine for the yellow flower. I first did the purple flower, all three layers and fuzzy cut it. Then, I used warm sunshine to stencil the first layer of the large flower. I used my alcohol markers to add some interest to the flowers. I stenciled the leaves and calyx and cut them out as well. 

I wanted a fun background, so I used 3D embossing folder for the same. I trimmed it down and added it to the card base. I started layering the flowers and leaves and added a sentiment. To finish the card, I accented it with some pearls.

'Plumeria' floral cards

Hello there,

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

I am happy to be back on Tubby Craft blog and this time I am using Plumeria florals stamp set. I wanted to use it for a while and finally I was able to do it and now this has become my all time favoutite floral stamp set. I love the floral here and the opportunity I get to practice colouring is brilliant. I made 3 cards for today and I had to make the tough decision to stop making cards with this stamp. I love it so much, I wanted to make more and decided to use them later for other cards. 

Card 1

This is my first card using Plumeria and I did some masking to make this card. 

I stamped the image first on one corner of the white cardstock and stamped the same on masking paper. I masked the stamped part and stamped the image again on the other side. 

I masked both the florals and inked using Light pink ink. I removed the masking paper and coloured the images. 

Since Tubby dye inks react to water, I dabbed some jet black ink on an acrylic block and added some splatters. 

I added some pearls, liquid pearls to the flower center and finished with a sentiment. 

Card 2

Moving on my next card, this is also a simple card and the focus stays on the image. 

I took a white cardstcok and stamped the image on two diagonal corners and coloured with alcohol markers.

I used my white gel pen to add some details to the coloured image and added a gemstone to the center of the flowers. 

I used Mustard yellow and chocolate brown ink to add some splatters to the card base. 

I added a border using black pen and finished the card with pearls and sentiment. 

Card 3

Here is my final card and its a monochrome card.

I stamped the image with Aqua blue ink and coloured shades of blue and fuzzy cut it. 

I took a white cardstock and used Chinese blue and Sapphire blue ink to Checkered stencil.

I used dark blue ink here because I was going to add a piece of vellum. The vellum helps in making off the brightness of the background and helps the image to pop up. 

I added the image and some pearls

I stamped the sentiment with Sapphire blue ink and added it to the notecard.
