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.

Highlight solid dies + Cards for Ukraine

Hello there,

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

How would you like to stretch your die cuts by adding more interest and turn them into fun cards????

The solution for that is here..... Earlier I made cards using solid dies and die for embossed background. If you missed that, you can see that post HERE.

I used three other solid dies for today's post and I have video as well where you can see how I worked around by adding details. This works best with solid dies and not with background or intricate ones. I used colour pencils and alcohol markers which I find are the best to add details and interest. For all the card, I have sentiment which will be perfect for the current situation happening in the world. Check out the video and hope you can also dig up some old/unused solid dies and turn them into super fun cards.

'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.

Birthday Pull and reveal card

Hello there,

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

Today, I have a very simple and easy interactive using DIY PAPER CRAFT KIT - KIDS SPECIAL - BIRTHDAY THEME along with Dinosaur and friends. The card for today is a Pull & reveal card and even though there are dies available for the same, I thought I will not use them and instead show how to make it without any dies. I have a write below as well as video tutorial on how I made this card.

This is a regular A2 size top fold card and to start with, I stamped the dinosaur image and the cupcake image on white circle die cut piece. It is not necessary for it to be circle, it can also be square. I took two sizes of circle, where the largest one will be shown on the top and the smaller one will be hidden.

To make the mechanism (Split in three parts)

Part A

I took a white card stock measuring 1 1/4 inches by 5 inches

Along the 5 inch side, from my left side using a scale I made a mark at 1 inch and 1/8 of an inch from the first line. Using a score tool, I scored both the lines well.

Part B

Along the short side and along the scored lines, I made a mark at 0.5cm (3/16 of an inch)on the sides and drew a straight line and then cut them out.

Part C

Once the mechanism is ready, I need to make the next part which is necessary for the mechanism to work.

I have a 3.5 inch black cardstock and 3.25 inch pattern pattern added together.

I flipped it over and places the largest circle die and made two marks at either side which measures 7/8th of an inch.

Using an excato/paper knife I made small slit and then the mechanism piece will slide in freely.

Once the mechanism fits in the square part, its time to assemble the card together.

If you can see the above picture, I did not add the circle piece close to the mechanism or cover it because the pull part will not work. So its best to leave a little space and add.

To finish the card, I added the sentiment and couple of gemstones.

New season, new technique hop - 1 stamp 4 cards

Hello there,

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

I am super happy to be a part of a collaboration hop in YouTube with other amazing crafters. I should say I enjoyed working on this hop. I initially had to break my head as I had absolutely no idea how and where to start working. The theme is new season new technique and there is so much we can do but I had very little time to start work. I was literally panicking and was rampaging my stash to check for stamps, dies, pattern papers, etc... I choose some pattern papers but decided I wont be using them (I have been working a lot with them and I felt my stamps were left too lonely and they missed me as I missed them too :) lol).

I picked out a few Altenew stamps, heartfelt stamps and craftyscrappers floral stamps. To narrow it down I turned to my husband and my friend and they helped me with finalising this beautiful Peony stamp set from heartfelt creations. Next came the technique.. I was totally stuck out here. Day and night I was on YouTube and researching on what new technique I can do. Thats when I decided to work on different backgrounds for cards. Check out the video to see how I made these cards and below there is final look at the cards.

I went with One stamp and different backgrounds and when it comes to seasons I went with all 4 seasons. I made a card for each season and chose a colour from the palette. For spring I went with Purple and made a monochrome/tone on tone card. For summer, I went multicolour background and chose shades from tiger lily for the flower. For Autumn, I went with earthen tones and coloured the flower on karft cardstock with a diec ut background. And finally for Winter, I went with Blue and softer tone to make a card and added a heat embossed piece to the background.

Side step card & tag - Dinosaur party

Hello there,

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

We all know how ferocious and dangerous dinosaurs are since the time of Jurassic Park. But the stamps released by Tubby Craft are the cutest set of dinosaurs I have seen. The stamp set I have used today is Dinosaur and Friends.

I have a super fun card and a very simple tag here. I tried to create a small scene here using stamps and die cuts. The best part about this stamp set is that we can create so many projects using these images from CAS cards to chabby chic to interactive cards. These images will be loved and adored by kids when they receive super fun birthday cards as there are amazing sentiments that go along with this stamp set.

View video here: https://fb.watch/4oxMh1xYA8/

SIDE STEP FOLD CARD

To make a side step card, I took a 8.5" by 5.5" inch cardstock.

I used a paper trimmer and along the 5.5" side, I placed the cardstock at 3" and the cutting blade at 1" and cut along until 6.5"

Now it's time to do the scoring part.. Place the cardtsock on a score board, and on the shorter side (that's 2.5") score at 4.25" right in the middle

The next set of scores are with the cut part which will be at 1", 2", 3.5", 4.5" and 6.5".

Using a bone folder, we need to burnish the scored lines and make mountain fold and valley fold.

After the lines are burnished, fold them all and we get a beautiful side step fold card base all ready.

To embellish the card, I used pattern paper on one side and then added grass die cuts. I used green and brown grass die cuts.

I also added some tree die cuts to go along with them.

There are additional images in the stamp set such as rocks and small plants. I added these images too and tucked the dinosaur image between the grass.

I added some small flowers to the grass and liquid pearls.

To finish the card, I added the sentiment.

TAG

This is a super simple tag and I used one dinosaur image along with the rock and grass image from the stamp set.

I coloured and fuzzy cut the images

For the tag, I used black cardstock and a striped pattern paper.

I added the images together and a couple of small flowers to the rock and finished with adding the sentiment.

Seashell - Mixed media canvas using Tubby ink pads

Hello there,

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

My first post for Tubby craft this year is a mixed media canvas using stencils and ink pads. This is the first time, I tried using ink pads to make a mixed media canvas. I am still learning on how to work around mixed media projects and this is definitely a trial and I am happy with the outcome. I have a video for the same on how I made this canvas. I used only ink pads to add colour along with white gesso and texture paste. The moulds I used here are shell themed and the canvas has a lot of texture.
