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!

Hello!

Welcome to the 'Love is in the Air ' Challenge at HNDMD! Follow this link to read all the details and play along!

 Here is my take on the challenge..I hope you are inspired to play along!

 I made a few mini notecards and a couple of gift tags using the newly released Craftangles 'Hug Me' stamp set,  patterned papers from the 'Vintage Rosette' 6"x6"paper pack' and the newly released Craftangles stencils 'Heart mesh', 'Chit chat' and 'Quilted hearts'. 

Quick love cards using patterned papers

Hello!

Today I have some quick and easy love cards  which I made using 

the Craftangles 'Be My Valentine and 'All For Love Vol 2' patterned paper packs.

For the first card, I die cut a sheet of black and white patterned paper  using Simon Says Stamp square stitched dies and adhered it to a white card stock panel. I then die cut a heart using a sheet of red patterned paper and adhered this to the panel using 3D foam tape. I added a mini wooden clip and some resin dots for interest. 

The sentiment is from the Craftangles 'Will You Be Mine' stamp set. I cut apart the words of the stamp in order to make them fit in the space that I wanted to stamp them in.

For the second card, I started by adhering a patterned paper panel to the 6"x4" card base.

I then cut out two elements from the Craftangles 'Be my Valentine' elements pack and adhered them to the card. I added some Craftangles 'clear shimmer' sequins to add some interest.

For the third card, I used patterned paper to adhered to the card base. I then die cut the dancers using the red patterned paper from the paper pack. I then adhered a printed element from 

the Craftangles 'Be My Valentine' elements pack as well as some Craftangles 'ruby' sequins  to finish the card.

For the final card, I started by adhering the die cut patterned paper panel to the card base. I then stamped and fussy cut the cute image from the Craftangles 'You and Me' stamp set. I watercoloured just the hearts so as to make the image pop.

I used 3D foam tape to adhere the image to the card.

I stamped the sentiment (Paper Smooches) onto the patterned paper and added some 

Craftangles 'Clear shimmer' sequins to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed these cards and will give them a try.

Have a wonderful day!

Valentine week- Day 5

A very quick post this morning….We're off for sports day at school!

 A simple CAS card with a muted background from Hero Arts. I stamped the background on the  white circle and die cut the heart with my nestablilities. I then die cut a smaller red circle, stamped the same background on it and placed it behind the heart.

I then popped to up with some foam tape and finished it of with a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

I love that pop of red with the hint of the butterfly wings!

I am submitting this card fort the CASology challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Valentine week- Day 4

Today I have a card that is as Valentiney as you can get!!!! 

Falling pink hearts and a real mushy sentiment!

The hearts are from Inkadinkado and the sentiment from Studio G. 

I used  Memento inks…Rosebud, Lilac posies and Angel pink. 

I followed Jennifer Mcguire's idea of making shade cards for my inks and this helped me choose the colours I wanted for this card.

While I took the idea from her video, I decided to stamp my colours using a solid stamp on blank visiting cards. I have then stored them in a visiting card album, arranged according to colour.

I realised I had forgotten how many inks I had!!!

I am submitting this card fort the CASology challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good night!

Valentine week-Day3

Another CAS card today…made with this awesome die from Memory box! 

I layered the red die cut with a white die cut underneath and added the sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

I am submitting this card for the CASology cue card 'LOVE" challenge as well.

Thanks for stopping by…

Good night!

Valentine week-Day2

Hey everyone! Today I have a simple CAS Valentine card. Its pretty much self explanatory…

The stamps are from Lawn Fawn, Studio G and Hero Arts.

I place the white panel at an angle on the card base and stamped the hearts of the panel for some interest.

I am submitting this card for the  CASology cue card "LOVE" challenge and the Friday Mashup LOVE theme challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Good night!

Valentine week- day1

Hey friends!
I am making Valentine cards all week this week!
Here is my first one…

I made this card after being inspired by this video by Kristina Werner. It is something totally out of my comfort zone, but I like the  wait turned out.

I created the background by applying distress ink onto my Crafter's Workshop mini retro squares stencil, spritzing it with water and placing the paper over it to pick up the colour. You can make many panels like this at one time as all the ink does not come off at once.

The papers are from an old holiday set…don't have the name unfortunately.

The buttons are from my stash.

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp…a stamp set designed by Kristina Werner.

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Have a great day!

Heart shaker card

I can't seem to get enough of making shaker cards!!!
I saw this awesome video by 'just-one-more-card.com' yesterday and I just had to try it!!!
It was difficult and I made a lot of mistakes as I went along, but I finally got it!
I just love the result!!

All the instructions are in the video, so I will list the supplies I used…

The heart die is from Sizzix

The stamps are from MFT (Simply fabulous sayings)

                                 PTI  (Phrase play)

                                 Hero Arts (small variety alphabet)

                                 Lawn Fawn (Science of Love)

I used little round beads from my stash in the shaker.

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Have a great day!

CAS card

Hi Everyone! 

I have been away for a while, but am back with this CAS card  for my official post on the Craft Adda blog.

To make this card, I stamped the image from the Paper Smooches Wicked Nauticool stamp set onto white card stock and coloured it with Steadtler sketchpens, and cut it out. I then stamped the wave on the card as well as on the 'life saver' and cut it out.

Then, using my xyron sticker machine, I made it into a sticker and adhered it to the card to make it appear like it was coming out of the water.

I added the sentiment and my card was done.

Fun and easy, don't you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a good evening!

Am submitting this card for the Paper smooches Sparks Anything Goes challenge.

Valentine cards without hearts!

Hi everyone! Happy Valentines Day!
Don't you think there are too many hearts around today?!!! So, I decided to make cards for Valentines day without using hearts.

For the first card I  have used the mason jar  and lid stamp from PTI and filled it up with punched out stars. the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

The second card is actually a postcard...simple and to the point...

The stamps are from Stampendous.

the apple is coloured in with watercolours!

These cards were the best sellers at my stall at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2014!

Speech bubbles

Happy Sunday everyone!
I made these cards using the speech bubble die cuts from the Simon Says Stamp 'Talk bubbles' stamp and die set.
For the sentiment I used labels made with the 'Letro' label maker...something I have been wanting to play with for a while now!

I love the way the cards turned out...don't you?

Rose tinted glasses

Hi Everyone!
I am playing the Dynamic Duos challenge this evening using all colours Pink.
This is also my official post for the CraftAdda Blog this week.

Here I have used Worn Lipstick  Distress ink from TimHoltz mixed with a bit of Rose Bud ink from Memento and Angel Pink ink from Memento.

I stamped the eye glasses on pink vellum, cut out  the lenses and adhered them (using my xyron sticker machine) to the eyeglasses that I stamped on the cardstock, to create the rose tinted glasses look.

I then used 3D foam tape to make the eyechart pop.

The stamps that I have used are 'Clear to see' stamp set from Lawn Fawn, 'Eye chart Sentiments' stamp set from Maya road and Hero Arts background cling stamp.

Just love the rose tinted glasses...don't you!!
