Craftangles new release..Dangling leaves stencil.

Hello.

Today, card no1 is a simple card made using Craftangles newly released 'dangling leaves" stencil.

I started from the top of the white card stock panel and stencilled the leaves using 'Bamboo leaves' and 'Pear tart' inks from memento.

At the base, I used Tim Holtz 'Woodgrain' stencil to simulate water in a pond.

I then added the die cut butterfly (from spellbinders) and a sentiment from 

Craftangles 'Love is in the air' stampset.

The sentiment is heat embossed using Craftangles silver embossing powder.

A sweet and simple card..just the way I like it!

The stencilling in this card is inspired by this card by Rahmat Ghouse.

I am submitting this card for The Paper Players 'Clean and simple-butterflies' challenge.

For card no 2, I've used the same colours as above with the Dangling leaves stencil.

Here I added a fussy cut motorbike and sentiment from Craftangles "Roadtrip" stamp set.

For card no 3, 

I have used the newly released Craftangles 'Ripples' stencil, with stamps 

from the Craftangles 'Roadtrip stamp set'.

I have used 'Cantaloupe', 'Desert Sand' and 'Rich cocoa' inks

 to create sand ripples on textured cardstock.

I stamped and die cut the bike with 'Rich cocoa' and layered it over a piece of vellum. 

I then added the sentiment using my Misti tool and also added some brown sequins to finish the card.

For the last card, I used Craftangles 'Ripples' stencil with TimHoltz distress inks

(Broken china, Faded jeans and Chipped Sapphire)

to create ripples in the sea.

I then used the stencil to draw with a pencil on a piece of vellum which I then cut to create a mask.

Then, I stamped the boat (from Paper smooches 'Wicked Nautical' stamp set) over the mask to make it appear as if it is being tossed by the waves.

I then coloured the boat and paper pieced a little bird from the same stamp set to add some cheer.

The sentiment is from the Craftangles 'Road trip' stamp set..which I heat embossed on vellum using Craftangles gold embossing powder.

As an after thought, I added some stars using Winnie and Walter's star stencil.

Absolutely love the cards I made today...mojo has been away..hoping its back!!

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!

Butterfly Beauty

Hey there!

I am playing the Simons Says Stamp 'Butterfly Beauty' Monday Challenge today.

I stumbled upon this small craft shop in Crawford Market, Mumbai, which had amazing paper packs! I used a pretty paper pack called Summer Bloom for this card.

I punched out a few butterflies, adhered them and then dry embossed the rest of the card, before adding the sentiment from Hero Arts. I finished off the card with a piece of jute ribbon from Mayarts.

Thanks so much for stopping by...Have a good night!

New roses from Winnie and Walter

Hey there!

I am playing the Friday Mashup sketch and 'Lets be thankful' theme challenge today. 

I recently received my prize from Winnie and Walter and couldn't wait to play with it!! I just adore these roses die from Winnie and Walter and it seemed really perfect for this sketch.

The background papers are from the  'Aged roses by Tamara' paper pack from Crafttangles from Craft adda.

The sentiment is from Paper smooches 'scripted sayings' stamp set and the sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.

I just love the muted vintage feel!

I am also playing  The Simon Says Stamp Monday 'Thanks" challenge with this card.

For the second card, I created a Memento ink and watercolour background, added a piece of heat embossed (background stamp from Hero Arts) and added a couple of dry embossed butterfly die cuts with foam tape to add dimension. 

I finished the card with a heat embossed sentiment from Hero Arts.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a great day!

Happy birthday grand daughter

 Hey there!
I have decided to make some cards this week for my family to give my daughter...so here is one for my inlaws to give their daughter for her birthday.
I also decided to play the ATCAS 'Butterfly' challenge,the Friday Mashup 'Ombre' challenge and the paper Smooches Anything Goes challenge.

I made the background panel for this card using the left over memento inks that I used to colour my ombre (Pink shoes) card.
I hate wasting inks left on the craft sheet, don't you?!
The butterfly is Spellbinders shapeabilities and the gemstones are from my stash.
The sentiment stamps are from Hero Arts, PTI, and Paper Smooches.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day!

 

Summer butterflies

I have a card today for the Simon Says Samp Summer challenge...

I used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched squares die to create a polaroid like frame for my gorgeous butterfly buttons. I created a summery background with the flower stamp from an Inkadinkado stamp set. I finished it off with a bold sentiment from Hero Arts.

I am submitting this for the ATCAS  code word Butterfly challenge as well.

A pretty, bright and cheerful card, I think!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a good night!

Goodies from Craftadda!

Hi there!
I was so thrilled to receive my first DT package full of goodies  from CraftAdda, last week!
So, I sat down and had some fun with them!

For this card, I used the gorgeous printed papers and washi tape on brown card stock so as to make them pop!

I also added a the sparkly washi tape, just for a bit of interest.

I then die cut  the word Happy (from Winnie and Walter) from this panel. I then die cut the Happy a couple more times with white card stock so that I could raise the word and give it some dimension.

I then heat embossed  the sentiment, added some sequins and adhered the panel to a white card base.

Its the first time that I have tried this technique, and I am thrilled with the result!

For this cute tag, I used the same paper and wash tape as I used above, but not the sparkly tape.

I added a  butterfly button from my stash and stamped the sentiments (from Winnie and Walter) to finish  the card.

I created the black border for the ribbon hole using circle punches.

I've had a lot of fun…Hope I have inspired you to try out some of these awesome products from CraftAdda!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

I rocked the Friday Mashup!!!

Yippie!!! Yay!!!
I rocked The Friday Mashup 200 challenge with this card!

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!
