Dad-My Superhero!

Hello!

I am showcasing the Craftangles 'Dad-my superhero' stamp set. for my Craft Adda post.

I have made two cards and a bookmark tag, 

all using the same image and various sentiments from the stampset.

For the first card, I used the Craftangles 'Argyle' stencil and Memories white ink to create a background on kraft card stock.

I then stamped the image and sentiment with black Versafine ink and added the white embossed Happy Birthday sentiment from Stampendous to finish the card.

For the second card, I used memento inks to stamp the image onto Bielo cardstock and added a watercolour background.

I die cut the panel using Simon Says Stamp stitched squares and layered it with a blue die cut panel to make the colours pop. I finished the card by adding the sentiment from the same stamp set.

To create the tag, I stamped the image using Memento inks onto Bielo cardstock and then die cut the bookmark using the PaperTrey Ink die. 

I die cut the same out of Vellum and layered it on the bookmark. 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white on the vellum layer, 

and added red and white bakers twine to finish the tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Quick and Easy Christmas cards-part 4

Hello!

Here is my last and final quick and easy Christmas card using ScrapBerry's patterned paper, 

for the Craft Adda blog.

For this card, I used the cute snowmen patterned paper from the ScrapBerry's Happy Holidays 6"x6" paper pack along with two designs from the ScrapBerry's One Upon a Winter paper pack.

I used a sketch from Retrosketches archives as inspiration 

when I layered the patterned papers on a white card base, 

added adhesive pearls and a stamped sentiment with green Bakers Twine, 

to complete the card.

Sweet, simple and quick, don't you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Pumpkin Happiness

Hey everyone!

I am playing the Friday Mashup # 227(pumpkins and frames) challenge  this week.

I realised I didn't have a pumpkin stamp or image, so I decided to draw the pumpkins myself! 

They are not perfect, but I love the overall look of the card.

The Polaroid die is from Lawn Fawn and the sentiment is from Verses rubber stamps.

I used watercolours and colour pencils to colour my pumpkins and gave the card base a distress ink and water wash.

To finish, I added a bow of bakers twine and some wooden buttons from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a good evening!

Tag a bag / envelope!

I am playing three challenges tonight, and I am thrilled with the way my project turned out.

For the Friday Mashup(Eat Cake and colour) Challenge , I created a tag with a faux washi tape cake.

To create the cake, I stamped and heat embossed the washi tape stamps ( stamps from Unity stamp Co.) onto white card and fussy cut around them and popped them on one on top of the other with 3D foam tape.
I then added the 3D star sticker from Recollections stickers as the cake topper.

The background stamp is of course the fabulous designblock from HeroArts.

To make the envelope I stamped  the background stamp on Vellum and then folded it into an envelope.
As you can see this serves as a cash gift envelope.

I am also entereing this project for the Blog named Hero embell-ope challenge and the
CAS-ual Friday CFC 118 Bag and tag challenge

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good night!

                                                                    

Get Well tag

Hello everyone!

I have a quick and easy project for you today.

A getwell soon tag that I made in under 5 minutes!

I first used my nestabilities dies to cut out the base shape out of red cardstock.

I stamped the band-aid image from Paper Smooches on white cardstock, coloured it with copic markers and colourpencils and cut it out. 

Then, I added the sentiment and popped the band-aid with 3D foam tape.

Added some bakers twine and the tag was ready!

Hope you have fun making many such tags!

Good night!

Happy Mother's Day

I came across this gorgeous card design in an old Stampendous Catalogue. Since I had a similar stamp set from Words&Crafts, I decided to CASE it. 

It has tured out quite well!

The flowers are from my stash and the baker's twine is of course from the Twinery. I coloured the words using my Camel artist's water olour cakes.

I am submitting this card for the Addicted to CAS Rainbow Challenge and 

The Paper Players Mother's Day theme Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy!

Brilliant Grad!!

Hello all! 

Hope you have had  a great weekend!!

Mine has been busy and very productive!! 

Here is what I have been upto!

I made this card for the Friday Mashup challenge and the Dynamic Duos challenge.

My inspiration for this card came from a vector image of a graduation cap that I found on google images. 

The background stamp, I'm sure you will all recognise by now...Starburst from Hero Arts!

The light bulb and sentiment are from  the Technique Tuesday 'Bright Idea' stamp set...another favourite!

Inks are memento Dandelion and Versafine Onyx Black.

The sentiment is heat embossed with American Crafts embossing powder.

To make the graduation cap, I used my square nestabilities dies and my circle punch. I cut and trimmed till I got the right effect. The tassels are made with Baker's Twine from the Twinery.

I thinks it looks really cool...don't you?!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good night!

Double Z-fold card

Happy Monday everyone! 

Good afternoon! 

This one was really a challenge!!

I made this card for the Friday Mashup Challenge 104 for which I had to use an image of an Umbrella and/or make a Double Z-fold card.

After looking around for some inspiration, I found this tutorial on Splitcoast stampers.

For the Umbrella image I used a photograph that I had taken last year on a trip to Goa. 

I printed the photo on my canon photoprinter and put it together with some Hero Arts stamps, memento inks, and, some Bakers Twine wrapped around to hold it together.

Here is how it turned out!

I am quite thrilled with the result!

What do you think?!

These images show you the card folded and open.

Bunch of Tags

I made a whole bunch of gift tags for my friend's birthday...the tags I cut with my Cuttlebug tags die and I stamped them with stamps from Hero Arts, Penny Black and la'boom stamps with Memento tuxedo black ink. Added a bead and some bakers twine and some raffia and I was done. I made a whole box! Such a fun gift no?
