MFT Stamps - Warm hugs & Frosty Kisses!!

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share this fun Christmas card which I've created using my brand new MFT "Warm hugs & frosty kisses" stamp set which I bought during last Christmas. Finally, I am using it :). I got inspired by their current sketch as well as color challenge. It was so much fun to challenge myself to play with limited colors ;).

Over to my card..


To make this card, I took A2 size White Card base. Then I took light blue card stock and die cut it using Crealies stitched hill dies. I marked the card base lightly with pencil at the edges where the hill panel will stick to guide my stamping. I stamped the trees using Distress Oxide ink to add some interest. Then I adhered the die cut out hill panel on the card base.


Meanwhile, I stamped these cute image from MFT stamp set which I colored using Alcohol Markers and fussy cut it. I stamped the skating marks using same distress ink from the same stamp set and then adhered my fussy cut image to the card panel using foam tape to give it some dimension.


Then, I stamped the sentiment from same stamp set using my stamping tool to complete this fun Christmas Card. I really like how this card turned out. I hope you like it too. 

Thank you for stopping by!!

Simon Says - Summer Vacation Kid's Challenge (Part 2)

Hello there,

My second post where I'm sharing cute crafty things made by my elder one (Aarushi, 14 years old).


She made these cute little figures with polymer clay which can stand and made some game on paper to play with these cute figures. She didn't share the game with me ( as per both of them, that's a secret). I am sure it might something silly ;).

Isn't these figures cute...


She also made these cute polymer clay thingies which she loves.... cute monsters, cake, macarons, smoothie...


And here is she with her cute thingies :)...

And She also made this "Aesthetic" Mushroom Ear-ring holder for their dressing table to display some of their ear-rings using quick dry clay. I'm so proud now they don't need Mamma's help, they just ask for material..:) 


She made the base fixed and that mushroom cap can be lifted for changing the ear-rings easily. She got her inspiration from pinterest. Here is the side view...:)



Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Simon Says - Summer Vacation Kid's Challenge

Hello there,

I'm stopping by to share these cute crafty things my little one (Agrima, 11 years old) made during this summer before we left for vacation.


She made this "Aesthetic Jewellery tray" (this is how she explained me ;)) piece of art for their dressing table to keep their jewellery using quick dry clay. I really love how she stamped the "SISTERS" and once it dried, She painted it with pink Acrylic color and highlighted the stamped sentiment with Black pen. Finally, added a layer of Mod podge to protect it.


And here she also made these cute polymer clay thingies which she loves. My both the girls love polymer clay so much.. They keep on making so many cute stuffs. Check my other post to see what my elder one made.


And here is she with her cute thingies :)...

Crealies - Twist & Pop Birthday Card

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share this fun Twist & Pop Birthday card using Crealies latest Twist & Pop with 4 panels dies. I enjoyed playing with these dies and made this card for my Nephew who is turning 12 this month. 

Over to my card... 


I also made the reel for this card to show the Twist & Popup mechanism


To make the front part of this card, I have used Crealies fun Alphabet dies (this is one of my favourite dies) and decorated it using Crealies Partzz party elements dies. Aren't these alphabet looks so fun & playful?


To make the Twist & Pop mechanism, I have used Crealies latest Twist & Pop dies along with Square panels. Check Crealies Youtube channel to see how to make this mechanism.


I decorated inside of the card using pattern paper and same Alphabet dies. I also added a bunch of balloons ephemera  from the same pattern paper set which I fussy cut and adhered to the card panel.

 

I added wavy black lines using fine Black pen at the edges of all the card panels to add interest.

Here is the close up..

 

I really like how this card turned out. I hope you get inspired.

Altenew - Beautiful Day!!

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share this floral card where I've used Altenew's Floral panel which I got in my recent Altenew's order.

Over to my card..

I colored this floral panel using Alcohol markers where I got inspired by Altenew's current August challenge image and colors.


To make this card, I took A2 size White card panel and embossed the front panel using Altenew Tree Bark 3D embossing folder.


Meanwhile, I colored the image with Alcohol markers and added some interest by creating some stripes using same peach colored alcohol marker. I layered it on the Black Card stock and  glued this colored panel on the front embossed panel of the card.


Then, I stamped the sentiment on White strip from Altenew "Beautiful Day" Stamp set and fussy cut it. I adhered the sentiment on the card panel using foam tape to give it some dimesion.

Finally, I added some rain drop embellishment to complete this card. I really like how this card turned out. I hope you like it too..

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Avecreative - Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs.!!

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share another customised congrats card which I've made for a colleague who got recently married. Again, I made it bigger in size (took A4 card stock and folded it in to half)  so that everyone in our office can sign it.

Over to my card..


To make this card, I first ink blended the edges of the front panel of the card using Distress Oxide Ink and then I stencilled it with polka dot stencil from Decotime using the same ink.


Meanwhile, I die cut of this beautiful wedding cake using Avecreative - Love2craft dies on White and Mirror gold car stock. I also coloured some of the die cut out pieces using alcohol markers. I adhered all the pieces of the cake using foam tape and glue. 


Once satisfied, I added the die cut out Congrats sentiment from Your Next Stamp and also added the hand written sentiment below it. 


Finally I added the Mirror Gold card stock frame to add interest to complete this wedding card. I really love how this card turned out. Isn't it beautiful??


I hope you get inspired. Thank you so much for stopping by!!
