CrafTangles Stamps and Stencils are here!

Hello! 

Craft adda has launched its fabulous range of  Craftangles photopolymer stamps!

I have had the honour of using them and I have to tell you, the quality is exceptional!!!

I have used the 

Baby Sentiments stamp set  and the Craftangles 'Its a boy' paperpack

to make this card.

I paired a couple of papers from this cute paper pack and stamped two sentiments from the stamp set.

To cover the joint I used a blue satin ribbon and added a button from  my stash.

Craft Adda have also released their Craftangles  stencils which are made from superb quality plastic.

Since the festival of Rakshabandhan is in a months time, I decided to make a card with a rakhi. 

I used the stencil to create a background for my starfish rakhi. 

I used Tim Holtz distress inks to create the soft background.

I created the sentiment using stamps from Paper Smooches (Kinfolk) and MFT (Graphic masculine T and Graphic feminine T)

I made a few cards so I used my Misti stamping tool which made it so very easy!

Jennnifer Mcguire demonstrates how, here...

I hope you will be inspired to go over to Craft Adda and check out their new releases!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great evening!

It's a boy...Craft tangles

Hey there!

I have made a card for CraftAdda today using the "It's a Boy " 6"x6" paper pack from Craftangles.

I used the mama elephant stitched die to cut the square cardstock panel and insert the patterned paper. This card is for my neices inlaws(...my neice just had a baby boy).

I kept the sentiment simple(Hero Arts) but added all the relationships I could think of to create the background. The stamps are from Paper Smooches "Kin Folk' stamp set.

I finished the card with enamel dots from Hero Arts.

 I can't wait for them to receive it!!

I hope I have inspired you to make a few cards too using the awesome papers from Craftangles! You can shop for them here!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Congrats Grandma and Grandpa

Hey!

I a playing the Retro sketches rs#213 this evening with this card I made for my cousins who are expecting their first grandchild.

I made it using the 'Its a Boy' 6"x6" paperpack from Craft Adda.

I also used baby themed brads from Recollections and enamel dots for interest. 

The heat embossed sentiment on vellum is combined from Hero Arts and Paper smooches stamp sets.

Cute no?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good night!

Baby monkey

Hey there!

I am playing the Less is More 'Designer paper in a CAS way" challenge Lucky dip week # 274 today and Happy little stampers CAS inlaid die cutting challenge

along with

the Addicted to CAS 'Plaid' challenge #87.

I took inspiration from Barb Ghig's awesome plaid elephant card to make this card.

I used plaid paper from the Summer Bloom 6"x6" paper pack to die cut the cute Cuttlebug monkey.

I embossed the wahite card topper using the cuttlebug dots folder and inlaid the die cut monkey.

I created a lower panel of patterned paper using the spellbinders scalloped edge die

I tried my hand at handwriting the sentiment on black cardstock for some interest.

I finished the card with some enamel dots from Simple Stories.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Blue giraffe

Hi! 

I am playing with the Craftangles by CraftAdda "Its a Boy" 6"x6" paper pack today.

I just love the variety of the patterns in this paper pack and I have tried to showcase that here.

I used a wooden giraffe button as the focal point, placed on a few circles punched with my EK success and Punch Bunch punches.

I finished off the card with some jute ribbon.

I didn't add a sentiment as I felt it didn't need one. :-)

A cute and simple card.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Cheers babies

I am playing the Simon Says Stamp  ' Something New" Wednesday challenge today as well as the WordArtWednesday 'anything goes' challenge.

Also submitting the card for the CASology cue card 'SIMPLE' challenge and the LOVECHALLENGE#1 (NEW)on flickr

I made this gift tag for a pair of twins and I was inspired by this card on Pinterest.

I bottles are from an unknown stamp set and the cheers die is from Winnie and Walter.

The tag is from Spellbinders Nestabilities.

Have a great day!

Baby bow tie

Good morning!

Today is the 8th day of navratri and the colour of the day is SKY BLUE. 

To celebrate this colour, I die cut this cute bow tie from Craft Tangles 'Wild about blue' paper pack (from Craft Adda). The die is from 'Little B'

I popped it up with foam tape onto a panel cut with Simon Says Stamp stitched squares and added a sentiment from Simon Says stamp. 

Delicate sequins in blue and white finished my card. 

I am playing the Less is More 'Masculine' challenge with this card.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Blue giraffe

Hi there!

I just love the way this card turned out... I was playing around with some stencils when I got this idea. The stencil is from 'istencils' and the white ink from Memories.

The little giraffe is a die from Cuttlebug, which I cut out of printed paper from Creative imaginations.

I popped it up with 3D tape for interest and finished up the card by heat embossing the sentiment

(brand new from Simon Says stamp) with white embossing powder from Hero Arts.

 

I am playing  the Addicted to CAS #60 'CUTE' challenge, the Paper Players 'to die for' challenge, simply create too (anything goes) and the CAS-ology 'News' challenge  (card for a new baby).

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a great evening!

Casing an awesome card

Today I have CASEd an awesome card that I came across on Pinterest. Its by Desiree Spenst and you can her awesome work  here.
Here is her card…

And here is my take…

Since I didn't have the sentiment stamp, I used individual alphabet stamps from the HeroArts 'small variety alphabet' stamp set and the 'fanciful swirl alphabet' stamp set, to create the sentiment.

The shoes are from a very old stamp set…don't have a name, sorry!

The die cut letters are cut using the Cuttlebug alphabet dies.

I made this for a friend to gift to parents of twins…I hope they liked it!

It is very tongue in cheek and cheerful!

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Have a great day!

Mason jar shaker card.

Hey there!

I have decided to play three fun challenges today….they were fun but very challenging for me!!!

I am playing the 'CAS-ual Friday felt and sequins' challenge, the 'retrosketches RS147' challenge and the 'Fusion Card challenge'...where I have been inspired by the pink colours and the mason jar in the photo.

To make this card, I used the Papertrey ink mason jar die to cut out the window for the shaker. Instead of filling it with sequins, I decided to punch out little pink safety pins with a punch I have and put them in. The background stamp is one from a set I bought second hand…so don't know which company it is from. The 'BABY' sentiment is from the same set and I hand wrote the word 'welcome'. 

The stars are felt and cut with my spellbinders nest abilities star die and I added some sequins to finish off the card.

It was hard to step out of my comfort zone to make this card, but I am thrilled with the result!

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Have a good evening!

Baby best!

Good morning everyone!
Today I have a cute baby card which I made on order for a friend. I wanted to submit it for the Case Study challenge 178 but  I missed the deadline by a few days! :(

I love the way the card turned out though...I had been struggling with it for a few days!

The flower die is from Spellbinders, the little baby is a ready made embellishment from a local market, the cute little charms are from my shopping in Mexico and the stamps and banner die are from the Simon says stamp and Memory box tilted banners stamp and die set.

I found this cute baby's eyes follow you whichever way you turn the card! Such fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!
