Craftangles August blog hop

Hello!

Welcome to the Craftangles August blog hop 

where we are showcasing the most amazing Craftangles glimmer pastes!!

You would have come here from   

Shabneez's blog .

Don't forget to comment and leave some love at every stop on the hop...

there are loads of prizes to be won!

Ever since I've tried the Craftangles glimmer pastes, I've been hooked!!

Combine them with Craftangles stencils and you can have a winner every time!

I started off with the Craftangles 'starry lights' stencil and 

the Craftangles sparkling silver glimmer paste.

Take a look at my process video to see how!

I then added spots of Memento Dandelion ink  around the lanterns for some interest.

I then heat embossed the sentiment (hero arts) and added it to the card panel 

before adhering it to a white square card base.

Fun no?

For the second card, I used the Craftangles 'herringbone' stencil and 

the Craftangles 'blue denim' glimmer paste.

Check out the video below to see how.

I then die cut the panel using Simon Says Stamp stitched square dies 

and added some layered roses from Altenew stamps.

The card looked beautiful so I decided to leave it without a sentiment.

For the third card I used the same Craftangles  Denim blue glimmer paste and 

Craftangles 'Abstract circles' stencil.

Take a look at the process video below!

To make the card, I stamped coloured and fussy cut this beautiful plane from 

an unknown stamp set from my stash and added it to the panel that I 

had previously die cut , using Simon Says Stamp stitched squares stamp set.

I finished the card by adding  the sentiment that came in the stamp set.

For the last card, I used the Craftangles 'diamond fade' stencil and 

the Craftangles 'Sparkly silver' glimmer paste.

Check out the video showing how I did it!

I used the little  boy from the newly released 

Craftangles 'Birthday Boy' stamp set for the focal image.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the boy and adhered him to the card along with a silver heat embossed sentiment from the same set.

Sweet and simple, no?

I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I enjoyed making them.

Happy Independence day!

Hello!

Happy Independance Day!!

I have some fun and super easy rakhi cards for you to try today!

Rakshabandhan, the festival of sibling love is coming up soon and I thought it would be fun to incorporate our national colours with this festive ocassion.

For the first card, I used the 'Lace reloaded ' stencil from Craftangles along with Tim Holtz 'Carved pumpkin' and 'Mowed Lawn' distress inks to create a pretty background. 

I made a rakhi using an evil eye charm  and some white cord, and placed it in the centre of the background card panel. 

I then adhered this panel to the white card base. 

I adhered it to the inside card, using a bit of washi tape.

I stamped the sentiments..a combination of sentiments from Flora and Fauna stamps, 

Winnie and Walter stamps and Craftangles Stamps (Happy Rakhshabandhan) to complete the card.

Super quick.

Here is a video showing you my process.

For the second card, I used the 'Rays'  stencil from Craftangles along with Tim Holtz distress inks 'Carved pumpkin' and 'Mowed lawn'.

I created a background like I did above, and used the evil eye charm rakhi as the centre.

This time I used a combination of sentiments from Lawn Fawn and 

Craftangles (Happy Rakshabandhan and Happy Rakhi Bro)

Here is a process video for the same.

The third and final card is my favourite, I think.

I used the tricolour ( Tim Holtz 'carved pumpkin' , 'mowed lawn' and 'chipped sappire') and the 'skyline' stencil from Craftangles

to create a city skyline scene.

I added clouds using the nature stencil and Tim Holtz 'broken china' distress ink.

So many brothers and sisters are far away from each other at this time of the year, so, 

 the beautiful sentiment from Craftangles 'Happy rakhi Bro' stamp set 

seemed most appropriate with this background.

I made a rakhi using a heartbeat charm..It seemed perfect with the whole card.

Here is the process video..Do try out this stencil.. I thought it was the most fun!

I hope you enjoyed this post and the videos! 

I'd love to hear what you think so please leave me a comment below.

I am playing the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday 'Distress it' challenge today!

Have a great day!

Holiday cards using Craftangles Glimmer paste and Craftangles texture paste.

Hello!

I've had the best time making these holiday cards 

using Craftangles stencils, Craftangles white glimmer paste and Craftangles white texture paste!

Here we go...

For the first card, I used a technique called shifting..demonstrated by Tim Holtz during his new release yesterday on facebook.

It basically means that you apply colour through the stencil, 

shift the stencil and then apply the second colour.

Here is a process video showing you how I created this background 

using Craftangles 'squares' stencil and Tim Holtz distress inks.
