Shine and bloom

Hello there,

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

I am back with a floral card this time using Miss your smile slimline set (stamp and coordinating stencil) from Pink fresh studio. Its a beautiful slimline stamp that comes with coordinating stencil and die. After stamping, its super easy to line up the stencil and die. 

I started by embossing the outline with gold glitter embossing powder from WOW. I also embossed with gold glitter on another strip of cardstock so I can die cut sentiment from it. I took another piece of cardstock and embossed it white glitter embossing powder and added the strip to one side of the card. 

I used coordinating stencil to colour the flowers and leaves and used distress inks for the same. I die cut BLOOM from the gold embossed strip and added it to the card along with some gemstones. I used a black cardstock for the card base as it will be contrasting to the floral elements.

Coffee buddies

Hello there,

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

Have you had a cup of hot beverage while the sunrises over a meadow with loved ones? Isn't that wonderful??? I live in a city and all I see in the morning is traffic and the noise of construction. I am  a tea person and always dreamt of living someplace where I can enjoy my morning tea looking over a beautiful valley or better yet fjords... 

I made this card as this is the closest I could come to my dream :) .. For this card, I used Coffee Cuties stamp set and Ellie loves to bake (retired stamp set). I followed the sketch provided for this fortnight by Your next stamp and made a slimline card where I made a meadow and added the stamped image. 

People who know me, know how much I love YNS stamps and this one is awesome to colour. I coloured and fuzzy cut the elements and kept them aside (which took a while to find in the mess after inking... LOL). I inked the backgrounds with Altenew inks and added some trees using alcohol markers and grass with colour pencil. I added the cup with the critters and layered with the pastries. I finished the card with a sentiment and added it to a slimline card base.

Mini slimline card

Hello there,

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

I have a mini slimline card for today's post and to make this card I used Adorable adventures from My favorite things and made a scene using images from the stamp set. Its a large set 6' x 8' with almost 31 pieces and I used the mountains, stones, grass and two girl images to make this card. 

To create a scene, I made it look like they are having adventure trekking trip at a national park. This totally reminds me of the time I visited Yosemite national park and it was one of the most beautiful parks I have been to. 

I added mountains, grass, plants and stones and then two girls with one on the left calling her friend who seems lost. It was definitely fun to make this card. For the sky, I inked with blue ink and I die cut some grass and inked with green ink. I assembled all the elements together and finished with a sentiment.

Chabby chic birthday cards

Hello there,

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

I am back with a couple of chabby chic birthday cards using Jiving Five and Big birthday wishes from Tubby Craft. Birthday are fun occasions and Tubby has a range of wonderful number stamps which can be used to make birthday cards or baby projects. I have a mini slimline card and a mini circle card for today's post. 

Mini Slimline card

For my first card, I used Jiving Five and balloon stamp from Big birthday wishes. I stamped them on white card stock and coloured them using pencils and fuzzy cut them out. 

I made a mini slimline card which measures 3.5 by 6 inches. 

Its a white note base and I had some layers added, black card and pink one. 

I added lace, tulle, die cut and then added the stamped 5 image on top of it. 

To embellish it, I added flowers and decostones. 

To finish the card, I added the balloons, sentiment and sequins. 

Mini circle card

I have a circle base note card and I added a small lace along the edge. 

Then, I added a yellow die cut in the middle of the card. 

I used the small cupcake image from Big birthday wishes and stamped it three times. I coloured only one of the image. 

I had a small tag die cut in my stash and added the cupcake to it. 

I added the tag to the center of the die cut piece and the other two cupcakes on either side. 

I finished the card by adding flowers, sentiment and sequins.

'Happy day' - slimline card

Hello there,

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

I am back with another slimline card and this time its chabby chic baby card. I used Baby boy giraffe from Die cuts and more. They have amazing range of critter sheets which can be used with any pattern paper or stencils or die cuts or stamps as well. I fuzzy cut the the elements and had them in a box for quiet sometime and I had no idea how I was gonna use them. 

Since slimline cards are i trend, I thought why not make a slimline chabby chic baby card. Even though the theme says boy, I kept it neutral and just added a sentiment happy day. The card can also be used as a birthday card for one year old kid or a baby card. For embellishing the card and give it a chabby chic look, I added lace, tulle, die cut leaves, flowers and decostones. All I did was adding them into layers, layers and to finish the card, I added the sentiment happy day.

'Walking on sunshine' hop - Slimline pop-up card

Hello there,

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

Slimline cards are in trend these days. When I look at new releases I get to see so may slimline products being released. I am also getting addicted to making slimline cards and I decided to make a pop up slimline card creating a scene on the inside of the card. Its real fun to create scenes using stamps, stencils and die cuts. 

I have tons of die cuts with me and I didn't use them much earlier and I am happy that I am utilising it now. For my card, I used the sun rays die from Reverse Confetti, waves die from Dies Cuts and More and stamps from Craftyscrappers. This is a wonderful stamp set to make summer cards/vacation cards for friends. Below I have a video tutorial on how to make this card.
