More fun with CraftAdda stencils!

Hello all!
Today I have for you three fun tags I made using the awesome new CraftAdda stencils!
 I used Tim Holtz distress inks to create the backgrounds 
and then die cut the tags using the mft tag die.


For this tag, the stencil used is 'honeycomb' and the sentiment and the fussy cut dice used are woodblock stamps from StudioG. 


The stencil used for this tag is 'handwriting'. 
I added fussy cut flowers leaves  from W+9 Spring Blooms stamp set to make the tag pop!


I made this tag using Simon Says Stamp stitched circle die
The stencil used is the 'Moroccan design'.
I off set it and it used it twice to create dimension. 
I added the Memory box die cut flowers and 
the sentiment from the 'Sending Love' stamp set from Craftangles.

I finished of the tags with some black cord.

Playing with CraftAdda stencils!

Hello!
Today I am playing with the new CraftAdda stencils!
They are impeccably manufactured right here in India...the quality is excellent and they have been designed by CraftAdda's very own Khyati Kothari!

I decided on two colours...Tim Holtz Fired Brick and Dried Marigold distress inks and used three different stencils on smooth white card stock.



For this card, I used the 'Dots' stencil. 
I then used some sunshine yellow ink from Mama Elephant to add some brightness. 
I used the dienamics 'Band' die against the background and the sentiment from 
Concord and 9th stamps, seemed just perfect!!! 
I finished the card by adhering it to a kraft card base.



For this card, I used the 'Floral pattern' stencil. 
I used the darker colour first and then off set the stencil and used the lighter colour over it. 
This created some dimension to the design.
I stamped and cut the cushions from the stencilled cardstock 
and added them to the stamped and fussy cut orange couch. 
I used two different washi tapes to  anchor the couch and the coffee table. 
I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black cardstock, to make it bold.
All the stamps used here are from Papertrey ink.



To make this card, I used the "Argyle" stencil. 
I think this is my favourite...Though I dont particularly enjoy the grunge look..it totally works here!
It almost looks like flames doesn't it?
I added the cityscape die cut from PaperSmooches to this beautiful background.
I cut a strip from the bottom and placed it with a gap, to create some interest.
The sentiment is also a favourite..from 'Hot of the press'.

I hope you enjoyed reading about these cards and 
I hope you will try playing with these stencils too!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by...Have a great day!

Here is my 2nd inspiration for you this month.




To make this card, I started with a piece of bright pink card stock. 
I die cut the Speelbinders Shapeabilities  butterfly from it, creating a negative diecut. 
I dry embossed this panel using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. 
I cut the same butterfly from a piece of  light pink patterned paper from my stash
and inlaid the positive diecut into the negative and adhered it to a piece of white cardstock. 
I then mounted the entire panel onto a white card base and added some sequins to finish the card.
I just love the pop of pink against the white, don't you! 
I hope I have tickled your creative senses with this card and that you will come out and play this challenge!

Here is my inspiration for you this month.


To make this card, I  dry embossed  a piece of white card stock with a cuttlebug embossing folder for the base. I then die cut the rose and the leaves using Winnie and Walter dies. I cut and adhered a thin strip of white card stock for the stem. I then finished off the card with a bow made from MayArts jute ribbon.
I quite like the pop of the red against the white, don't you?

I hope you are inspired to make your monochromatic creation!!
