Reviewing Craftangles All for Love Paper Pack.

Hello!

For my official CraftAdda post today 

I have a card which I made using the Craftangles 'All for Love' 6"x6" paper pack!

These papers are of superb quality...thick and smooth and cut like butter!I just love the vibrant colours and whimsical patterns!

To make this card, I used an old  card sketch from Retrosketches.

I cut the papers using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched rectangle die, Law Fawn Polaroid die and some circle and scalloped circle punches from EK Success and Punch Bunch.

The large die cut sentiment is from Winnie and Walter.

I used  a couple of brads from recollections to add some interest.

Since I loved the plaid pattern on the paper, I decided to use the plaid pattern cuttlebug embossing folder for the background cardstock.

A nice masculine card...don't you think?

Do drop by the CraftAdda store to check this paper pack as well as many more awesome designs from Craftangles!

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!

Indigo thanks

I am playing the Winnie and Walter WCMD 2015 challenge..

Make it masculine with Julie

For this card I created a panel using the Winnie and Walter stencil, white ink and blue ink. I finished it with a die cut Thanks in white and the rest of the sentiment heat embossed in white. 

A clean and simple masculine card I think?

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

 and Finally good night!

Water!

Hey there!
For my official Craft Adda post today, I have a nautical themed card for a 60th birthday for a gentleman who likes boats.

This is a smaller card…what I like to call a notelet…

I punched some holes on the side and threaded a bit of coir rope through it, to create interest. 

Supplies used…

The background stamp is 'Bark' from Local King Rubber stamps.

Boat and knot and wheel from Paper Smooches 'Wicked Nautical'.

Die cut numbers from Lawn Fawn

Happy sentiment from Winnie and Walter.

Inks used are from Memento and Tim Holtz.

I used watercolour pencils to colour the boat rand the knot.

I thought it would be interesting to try and make a water themed card…without depicting water!

Would love to hear what you think…

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Have a great day!

Birthday card for a teenage boy

It's my son's 17th birthday today!!

As per a tradition I started a few years ago, I made him a birthday card.

I was inspired by this card from Etsy.com...https://www.etsy.com/in-en/listing/121253993/computer-geek-birthday-techie-birthday?

I couldn't find the image online( it is a digital image by Mo Manning), so I decided to draw it myself. 

Not a bad illustration I think!

This is the view of my son that I see whenever I enter his room!!! 

He is an aspiring writer and illustrator so I added the cup of pens on the side. 

The sentiment is from Kaisercraft which I die cut with spellbinders nest abilities and popped up using an action wobble!!

These wobbles are so much fun and so very easy to use. 

The Happy Birthday sentiment is fro Hero Arts. 

All in all a good night's work, don't you think???

Thanks for stopping by...

Have a good evening!
