Embracing Romance: A Shabby Chic Card Creation

Hello there,

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

Today, I’m thrilled to share a recent card creation that truly captures the spirit of romantic vintage—a beautiful shabby chic design. This style is all about soft colors, delicate textures, and a dreamy, nostalgic feel, and this project is full of all three!

The Elements of Romance

The foundation of this card is a beautiful floral patterned paper in soft pinks and greens, instantly setting a whimsical mood. Layering is key to the shabby chic look.

The Focal Point: The Lady and Her Flowers

The central image is a cutout of a young lady in a soft lavender-colored dress, holding a basket of flowers. This die-cut or fussy-cut element grounds the scene, making it feel like a romantic stroll through a blossoming garden. Notice the delicate flowers woven into her hair—it’s all about those tiny, perfect details!

Texture and Lace

One of the most essential elements of a shabby chic card is texture. On the upper left, I've incorporated:

 * A piece of beautiful crocheted lace in a warm cream color, giving that immediate heirloom feel.

 * A doily or lace-inspired die-cut element, adding another layer of intricate detail.

 * A few pearl embellishments scattered among the lace, adding a subtle touch of elegance and shine.

The Floral Bouquet

What's a garden scene without abundant flowers? I've used a mix of handmade paper flowers and other floral embellishments to create a stunning, three-dimensional bouquet at the bottom:

 * The large pink roses are beautiful examples of intricate paper flower crafting, with their layered petals giving them incredible depth.

 * A striking coral/red paper flower provides a wonderful pop of color, preventing the design from feeling too monochromatic and drawing the eye.

 * Smaller purple pansies and other tiny blooms are tucked in among the larger flowers, adding depth and that lush, "overgrown garden" feel that is so characteristic of this style.

Crafting the Look

The key to achieving this shabby chic aesthetic is balance. You want many layers and textures, but you also want a cohesive, soft color palette. Here are a few quick tips inspired by this card:

 * Muted Palette: Stick to soft pastels—pinks, creams, lavenders, and light greens.

 * Mix Textures: Combine smooth paper, rough fabric/lace, and dimensional flowers.

 * Use Dimension: Pop up your main focal image and larger flowers with foam adhesive to make the scene truly jump off the card.

I hope this beautiful, romantic card inspires you to create your own dreamy shabby chic projects!

Life is a fairytale

Hello there,

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

I'm delighted to share a whimsical and dimensional card I recently created, inspired by the magic of fairytales. This project focuses on digital images and layering techniques to build a sweet, enchanting scene.

Crafting the Fairytale Scene

This card features soft, gentle colors and a sweet composition that captures a moment from an imaginary storybook.

1. The Digital Foundation

 * Image Selection: I sourced a charming scene featuring a fairy house, a fairy, and a deer from Pinterest.

 * Printing: I printed the full image onto cardstock. Crucially, I printed the image twice—this is the secret to the card’s dimension!

2. Creating Depth with Layering

 * Fussy Cutting: I meticulously fussy cut the main image for the background layer.

 * Dimensional Pop: From the second printed copy, I specifically cut out the door of the house. I adhered this door piece using foam adhesive over the house on the main image. This simple step adds incredible, realistic dimension, making the door look like it's truly set back into the fairytale house!

 * Coloring: The original image was likely colored during the printing process, resulting in the lovely soft shades.

3. Embellishments & Finishing Touches

The card is heavily embellished with delicate florals and accents to enhance the fairytale theme:

 * Beautiful Blooms: I added several beautiful, high-quality paper flowers from I Am Roses, including pink and yellow/cream colored blooms. These flowers perfectly frame the image and reinforce the whimsical, lush setting.

 * Accents: I finished the card with a scattering of small beads for sparkle and a meaningful sentiment to complete the heartwarming message: "Life is a Fairytale."

I added a couple of flowers from I am roses - R75(S) -YCC (25Pcs) and S10 Achillea Cottage.

Home decor - S

Hello there,

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

For quiet sometime (which I mean since covid) I had this alphabet S lying around and didn't work with it. Recently I had an opportunity to use the alphabet to make something fun. I planned to use some pattern papers and some elements but then due to lack of time I ended up just adding mulberry flowers. These flowers are from I am Roses, which is a Thailand based company that offers a wide range of mulberry flowers that are pocket friendly as well. If you haven't tried their flowers, I would suggest to check their site and fill your craft room with their flowers. I randomly added shades of pink flowers to the base and went around with lights as well. Its hardly took time to make this. 

I am Roses - R8, R60, R40, Cherry Blossom, Leaves

Layers of love

Hello there,

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

I was invited as a guest designer for Panda Craft Studio for Jun-July and made 3 projects. Panda craft studio has wide range of tools which are like guide to make boxes, albums and more. They also have double sided paper which are sturdy enough to make albums and boxes. In their website they have a few combo offers too and when it comes to price range, its pocket friendly. 

I have used their new release Heart explosion box big. There 3 layers in this explosion box which can used together or even separately as gift box. This my first layer explosion box else I generally make one layer explosion box. It was definitely fun to make layered box. Below I have pictures of all three layers. Just click on the image and zoom to see the details. I used their newly launched double sided paper pack - Coral blues to make this explosion box. Apart from the pattern paper, I also used contrasting cardstock which compliments the paper pack for die cutting and adding them to the box. I used some element sheets from Die cuts and more to add to the box along with flowers.

Summer fun

Hello there,

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

I am super excited to share a layout I made for my darling niece using Infinite blooms, Sweet friend, Geo arch stencil, Curvy leaves die  and Ornate circle die. She is currently in vacation mode and this is an old picture of hers from last year when she was holiday. I love summer holidays. When I was in school I used to have 2 months of vacation and it was always fun. I used to attend summer camps and laze most of the time. I never used to get up before 9.30 in the morning and would just wait for my mom to cut mangoes for me. When I started college all of summer holidays I used to study study study.. I really miss doing nothing LOL...... I am happy my niece and nephew are enjoying their holidays and this is one for her..

Eyes of nature

Hello there,

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

I am super excited to share one of my favourite cards I made recently using Eyes of nature from The Paper Shelter. Its an oval shaped top fold card and I added some elements like critter flowers and leaves, along with die cut leaves that match the critter leaves shade and some handmade small flowers. 

I didn't expect that this card will turn out to be pretty. I kept the colouring very simple and the focus stays on the coloured image. I hope you all check out the image and give a shot at making a beautiful 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.

Monochrome card with Mandy Mae

Hello there,

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

I am back with a monochrome card using Mandy Mae from LeAnns World 101 for their mid-month challenge. For this card, I have a few layers using die cuts and mulberry flowers along with the girl image. This is a cute image and I coloured her using pencils and shaded it as well. 

I die cut a tag and added the image on the tag. I die cut a background using green cardstock and a die and added it to a white cardstock. I layered the tag on the die cut and added some flowers. To finish the card, I added a sentiment and some gem stones.

Hop and play card

Hello there,

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

I got an order to make a card for a little girl as she was awarded for her bravery by the state government. I was so happy to make this card for her and hope she loves it. The image I used here is from LeAnns World 101 and as a DT for LW101, I used this as a card for our current challenge that's happening HERE. 

Image I used here is Georgia Ann and she is an adorable image. I made it shabby chic by using pattern paper, embellishments and flowers. Since I was asked for a bigger card, I made a 5 by 7 card and printed the image accordingly. This is the best part about digital images, we can manipulate it according to our requirement. These images can be used for mixed media, scrap booking and journal pages by reducing the size of the image.I coloured with pencils and added some interest with alcohol markers and white gel pen. 

I added pattern paper and elements from the same paper pack to add to the base of the card. I added embellishments like die cuts, lace, chippies and leaves and flowers along with butterflies and pearls. On the inside of the card, I wrote a message with a sentiment to finish the card.

Shabby chic birthday card

Hello there,

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

I am back with another card and this time its a shabby chic birthday card using Popcorn party from Your next stamp. For this card, I used the girl image and one sentiment from the stamp set. I added elements like lace,tulle, flowers and deco stones to give it a shabby chic look. Along with this, I also added some die cuts behind the image. I finished the card, by adding some sequins and the sentiment.
