Thank you shakers Part 2

Hello! 
As you can see I have been busy making shaker cards all month.
I'm also feeling very thankful for all the blessings in my life, so, 
even though we don't celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday in India, 
I thought it would be nice to showcase some thank you cards. 
So here they are...

 For the first card I used two different papers from the "Colours of India" paper pack
I just love the vibrant colours and fun motifs!

To create the shaker element , I stacked up 8 frames cut using ''Peekaboo" rectangle frame dies. 
I then adhered it to a piece of patterned paper cut to size to create a backing. 
I then filled in the multicoloured sequins. 
I cut another frame to which I adhered a piece of acetate, 
and placed it over my stack to seal the shaker.
Once this was ready, I cut a piece of patterned paper to size and adhered it to the white card base. 
I then adhered my shaker to the base and added the sentiment to finish the card.




For my second card, I used patterned paper from the "We are pregnant " paper pack.
The process is the same as above, only here, I did not use a backing for the shaker stack.
I adhered a piece of patterned paper cut to size to the card base and then adhered the shaker stack directly to the card. I filled it with sequins and then sealed it with the acetate topper. I cut the top frame from Patterned paper from the same paper pack.
I finished off the card, as before, with a die cut sentiment.



I am truly enjoying making these shakers..
I hope to have inspired you to make some of your own too!
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great day!

One layer simplicity

Happy Sunday everyone!
I have made a card for the One Layer Simlicity Challenge OLS12 today. 


I have used a stamp set from Stampendous which I have had for ever but never used. I finally managed to make a card with it and I am s happy with the result. 
This challenge calls for the use of opposites and I have decided to go with opposite colours…Red and Green and Black and White.
The images are coloured with Camel artists watercolour cakes.

I am also entering this card for the NBUS (never used before stuff) challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by…
Have a great evening!

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.

Die cut Thanks

Hey there!
today I have a card for the 'Case Study' challenge 183.



Here I have used the gorgeous 'flower text design block' stamp from Hero Arts for the background and die cut the word thanks using the mft alphabet dies. I used Camel watercolours to watercolour the flowers and the leaves.
Quite stunning, I think!


Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your evening!

Using Negative die cuts


Hello Everyone!
It's great to be back online...my laptop died so now I have a new iMac  so I am back in the blogogsphere!Yay!!!

Today I have three cards which I made using negative die cuts...
An idea I have been wanting to play with for a while.
I will post cards with the positives tomorrow.




As you can see, I have added sentiments in the negative space of the die cut and made these fun cards.

The dies are from the Simon Says stamp and Memory Box 'Talk Bubbles' stamp and die set.

The sentiments are from  Hero Arts and the inks are from Memento and Versafine.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your evening!
