Craftangles Love Challenge.

Hello!

Welcome to the Craftangles 'LOVE' challenge!

Today, I have used Craftangles stamps, stencils and printed element packs to make  three quick and simple Valentine cards. 

Enjoy them and I hope that you will be inspired to play along with the challenge.

You will find all the details HERE.https://blog.hndmd.in/2020/01/craftangles-monthly-challenge-januarry.html

My first card is super simple.

I die cut the cute image from the Craftangles Elements Pack, Sweet Love 2 using a stitched square die and adhered it to a 5"x5" folded card make out of  Craftangles Black card stock.

I added some Craftangles clear sequins to finish the card.

For the second card, I stamped and watercoloured the cute girl from the 

Craftangles Sweet Love stamp set and fussy cut the image. I then created a stencilled background using the Craftangles sunburst stencil.

I stmaped the sentiment and adhered the fussy cut image to the base using 3Dfoam tape.

I adhered this card topper to a Craftangles Rich Red card stock.

I used some Crafangles clear sequins to finish the card.

For the third card, I die cut this cute smore's image from the Craftangles 'sweet Love 2' element pack, matted it with pink card stock

and adhered it to a 6"x4"  white card base.

As there was some space, I die cut three hearts  to create some interest.

I hope you enjoyed these cards, and will be inspired to play along with 

the Craftangles LOVE challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Merry Christmas!

Hello! 

It's almost time for Christmas!!

Today, I've made three Christmas cards using Craftangles liquid watercolours, stamps and stencils.

I also have start to finish videos for the same!

For the first card, I used the bauble stamps from the Craftangles 'Christmas Ornaments' stamp set.

I stamped them with Antique Linen distress ink and tried some no line watercolouring.

To create the background, I used the Christmas ornaments stencil and Tim Holtz distress inks. I darkened the edges to create a 'glow' in the centre. I love this technique as it creates a spotlight on the focal image. I've done this for all the cards.

I used some gold mirror card stock to cut out the blows and string and finished the card with a simple sentiment from the Craftangles 'Holly Jolly Christmas' stamp set.

For the second card, I stamped the beautiful focal image from the Holly Jolly stamp set and used the Craftangles liquid watercolours to try some no line watercoloring. 

Once coloured, I fussy cut the image and used 3D foam tape to adhere it to a stencilled background. Stencil used is the brand new 'Diagonal plaid' stencil from Craftangles. 

I used the same sentiment on all three cards, as I was feeling lazy to pick out another one!

For the last card, I watercolored and fussy cut the cute Santa from

the Craftangles 'Merry Christmas' stamp set.

I then made the background using the Craftangles 'Bricks' stencil.

Here too I darkened the edges to create a 'glow'.

I added flecks of white paint to finish the card.

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

Craftangles Christmas Challenge

Hello!

Welcome to the Craftangles Christmas challenge!

You will find all the details for the challenge at the link above.

 I hope the projects Ive made for you today will inspire you join in.

All the cards Ive made today are really simple and quick..as is my style.

I have used background papers from the Craftangles 'Merry Christmas' 6"x6" paper pack and focal images from the Craftangles Christmas Animals and Watercolour Christmas  element packs.

I first die cut each of the backgrounds using stitched rectangle dies.

I then used the smaller rectangle die from the same die set to cut out a piece of 

Craftangles plain vellum. 

I layered these pieces one on top of the other and then added the fussy cut printed element with 3D foam tape as the focal point.

 I also added some gold thread and sequins on some of the cards for interest.

I hope you'll enjoyed my cards as much as I enjoyed making them.

Don't forget to link up for the Craftangles Christmas Challenge!

If you have any questions or feedback at all, please do leave me a comment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Playing with Craftangles stencils and Texture paste

Hello!

For my post today, I decided to play with the Craftangles white texture paste, Craftangles stencils and Craftangles floral element packs.

The cards I made are super quick and super simple and good for those times when you don't want to think too much. :-)

For the cards above and below, I started out with two die cut panels of black cardstock from Craftangles and used the Craftangles white texture paste with the 'Doodle Around' stencil to create an abstract background.

Once dry, I added the large butterfly from the Craftangles Vintage rosette 1 element pack on the card above and a sprig of watercoloured flowers in the same colour on the card below.

As you can see I also changed the orientation of the card.

So its one back ground two ways.

I added a simple ' thank you' sentiment and some gem stones to finish the cards.

For cards 3 and 4, I started out with the Craftangles  'Diamond fade' stencil and the 

Craftangles texture paste, on Craftangles 'Kraft' and 'Lilac' card stock panels.

Once the texture paste was dry, I fussy cut and added the flowers from the 

Craftangles colourful flowers 5 element pack 

and arranged them on the cards, again, with the simple thank you sentiment.

I hope you liked these quick and simple Thank you cards and will give these supplies a try.

Id love to hear what you think...Do leave me a comment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Anything goes challenge from Craftangles

Hello!

Welcome to the Craftangles 'Anything goes' challenge this month!

After a busy Diwali month, we thought you could have fun with this simple and easy challenge.

You can find all the challenge details here!

For this months challenge Im playing with the "Hello Lovely" stamp set from Craftangles.

I had so much fun colouring the lotuses in the set using the Craftangles liquid watercolours.

Mystical water colour backgrounds

Hello!

I've been playing with the brand new liquid watercolours from Craftangles.. Moss green, Mystical waters and Moody Mauve.

I first created these magical backgrounds using Craftangles watercolour paper and the watercolours.

I then tried my hand at painting pine trees..they are not great, but, not bad I think for a first attempt!

I then die cut the background using SSS stitched rectangle dies and added a die cut sentiment from Impression Obsession.

Quick and simple holiday cards!

I hope you enjoyed these cards and will give these colours a try!

Thanks so much  for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Festive Lights

Hello!

Have you seen the brand new stamp set from Craftangles?

It's called 'Festive lights' and had the most adorable string of lights, inside colour stamps and sentiments for Diwali and Christmas!

So, today, I've made a few cards to showcase this set.

For the first card, I stamped and coloured a whole bunch of the little bulbs. I then fussy cut them and arranged them on a simple black background. 

To create the background, I used some distress oxide ink to create a subtle glow on the black card stock. I then splattered some white paint on the same.

I then arranged the light bulbs and added a heat embossed sentiment to finish the card.

For the second card, I stamped the string of lights around the edges of the square piece of card.

I then watercoloured the bulbs and added some multicoloured splatter. 

I painted, fussy cut and adhered the gifts with a piece of 3D foam tape.

I added a simple sentiment to finish the card.

For the third card, I stamped the string of lights twice to create a border at the top of a 6"x4" piece of cardstock. I then watercoloured the bulbs.

I dabbed on Tim Holtz 'Mustard Seed' distress ink all over the card, to create a glow.

I then added some paint splatter and a simple sentiment to finish the card.

As you can see, the possibilities of this stamp set are endless!

I hope you give it a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!
