Winnie and Walter Belated 2nd birthday bash challenges 6

Hello!

I am playing all the Winnie and Walter 2nd Birthday bash challenges today!

Here I am playing the 

Image inspiration Challenge with Taheerah

and the 

2 Challenge with Shay

To make this card, I started with a freebie printed paper from Winnie and Walter which I adhered it to a black cardstock panel.

Since my sparkly cardstock was out, I die cut the 2 lamps (from Papertreyink) from it as well as some black card stock for the lamp base.

I also die cut the sentiment from black card stock.

I used a sheet of vellum as an overlay on the printed paper 

and adhered the lamps and sentiment over it.

I finished the sentiment by heat embossing it in gold. (2 words)

The vellum is held in place with 2 black brads from Recollections.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Monochrome with a splash of colour

 Hey there!
I am playing the retrosketches RS#189 challenge with this card.
I decided to play with a monochromatic colour theme with a pop of colour...I was so happy to find this paper pack...I had forgotten I had it! It is the 'Mono Paper Pack' from Paper mania.

I decided to over lay the papers with vellum(..just 'cause I liked the printed paper so much) and stitched the vellum paper on with white embroidery floss.
The flowers  and leaves are made using punches and the sentiment is a peel-off sticker from Anita's.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a great day!

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 Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

When I saw this card sketch on retro sketches, I knew I had a chance to use the Darcies stamp set that I had bought last year, but not yet used! I used glossy accents and white enamel accents to make the monster's eye pop! The sentiment is a free digi...unfortunately I didn't save the source so I don't remember where it is from. I will share the the file at the end of the post for those who may want to use it.

I used papers from Craft Adda's Crafttangles Old Paper by Tamara 6"x6" paper pack. I distressed the edges with  Tim Holtz distress ink and added some self adhesive gemstones to finish the card. 

Here's wishing you have a monstrously fun weekend!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Black lace and Red roses!

Black lace and red roses...an awesome combination! 

I just LOVE these new papers from the 'Old Paper' paper pack by Tamara.

This paper pack is available at Craft Adda..the awesome craft store that fulfills all your art and craft needs!

I used the sketch from the Paper Players to make this card. I cut the circle using Simon Says Stamp Stitched circles die, heat embossed the sentiment from Winnie and Walter and added the bold birthday sentiment (a free digital file which I will share below) with some 3 D tape, to finish the card.

I used extra large mulberry paper roses to add the pop of colour.

 

 

Gives you a lovely old world, vintage feel doesnt it?

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a great day!

 

And some more diwali cards!

Hey!

I am playing with a triangle motif here, for this batch of diwali cards.

I stamped some 'friendly flags' from the Hero Arts stamp set using Hero arts neon inks onto white card stock. I then cut up the panel and managed to make so many cards from that one 4"x6" panel!

I love it! The happy sentiment from Winnie and Walter was cut out from an old invitation card...it had the perfect colours.

 

The sentiments I used here are from the Hero Arts 'Holiday Sayings' stamp set.

 

 For this card, I used little flowers from the Stampendous stamp set to create a background and added the friendly flags panel along with some printed paper from Doodlebug design. since I did not have the diwali sentiment, I used the Hero Arts 'assorted alphabet ' stamp set to create it. 

I coloured the cardbase using the Hero arts neon colours  in order to make the card pop.

For this card, I sponged the neon colours onto the card base  and stamped some circles from the Paper Smooches 'I heart Art' stamp set to create a bokeh effect. I finished it off with the happ sentiment from Winnie and Walter and diwali sentiment made from Hero Arts assorted alphabets.

For this card, I used printed papers from Doodlebug designs to off set the scrap piece I had left from the friendly flags panel. It looks so pretty! I added the happy sentiment from Winnie and Walter and diwali sentiment made from the assorted alphabets from Hero Arts.

I am playing the  Winnie and Walter 'create a masterboad background with Shay' challenge and the
Simon Says Stamp  Monday 'Autumn' Challenge.

I am really excited with this batch!

Hope you enjoy them too!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a great day!

Sunshine is coming!

I am playing the Paper Players challenge with this card!
I used papers from the Doodlebug design 6"x6" paper pack. Oh such fun papers! I finished the card with a button from my stash, sentiment from Simon Says Stamp and some sequins.
I think it is a bright and cheery card.

Vintage grunge

Hey there!
Today I have three cards which I have made using the Vintage Grunge paper set  from Craft Tangles, for Craft Adda.

This paper set is hugely out of my comfort zone and was very challenging!
I love the out come though...I've made cards which are different from my usual style...I hope you enjoy them and are inspired to create some of your own!

For the first card, I used one large sheet of printed paper from the set and one thin strip.
I used some Washi tape to cover the joint and then stamped the mason jar and cutlery (from PTI friendship jar fillers) and sentiment ( from Stampendous)on the printed paper.
I punched holes and threaded some twine through the panel to finish the card.
I then popped this panel onto a kraft card with 3D tape to finish the card.
I really like this card...subtle and nice.

For this card, I distressed the edges of all the panels that I used and coloured the edges with Tim Holtz distress inks. 

I created a monoprint panel using distress inks, water and a stencil for the blue happy birthday panel( sentiment stamp from Stampendous). 

I used the blue colour so that the blue bird on the chair would pop!

The small panel was cut from one of the sheets of paper, distressed and adhered to the card panel. 

I finished off the card with a brass butterfly and some twine.

Really happy with the result.

 

For he last card, I used two different papers. 

I tore the edges to distress them and then popped them onto a background panel which I created using some background stamps from Winnie and Walter and Impression Obsession,

I finished off the card with some stamped balloons,  the sentiment and a graduation cap brad.

A nice card to give a kid who is going off to college maybe?!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Do drop in at Craft Adda  and try out these awesome papers and many more fabulous craft supplies.

Have a great night!

Indigo Celebrate

I made this card for the retro sketches challenge #159 and the Paper smooches Sparks "Anything goes" challenge and the Paper Players 'to die for' challenge.

I have been trying to create this effect of Indigo for a while..and couldn't figure it out. Today, it happened...just like that!

I used a stencil from Winnie and Walter and sponged over the blue card stock with Memories Unicorn white ink.

After I heat set it , I added the glasses (Paper Smooches wise dies) cut from patterned paper from Creative Imaginations, some self-adhesive gemstones and finished it off with a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

I made a couple more cards with this background, so watch this space for more posts!

Playing with Kraft card

 Good Morning All!
I am playing the Simon says stamp flickr challenge today…it is a combined challenge with Lawn fawn..and the Friday Mashup challenge!

For these challenges, I had to create a vintage look and use kraft paper as well as Lawn Fawn and Simon says Stamp products. Oh, and also to use the embossed embossing technique…whew! ;-)

I started with a piano sheet music background which I found in 'Papers,Papers,Papers' a book by The Crafters Paper Library.
Because I like to hoard printed paper, I photocopied the paper  to use it.
I then distressed the edges and used Claudine Helmuth's multi medium matte (absolutely love it) to fix to the card topper.
I did the same with the piano keys, die cut from Memory box.

For the embossed embossing technique, I embossed a piece of brown paper with cuttlebug embossing folders and then heat embossed over it with gold embossing powder.
I then die cut the numbers (Lawn Fawn) and fixed them using foam tape.

The sentiments are from the Simon Says Stamp 'tilted banner' stamp and die set and Stampendous.

Finally I distressed the edges of the card topper and the sentiment banners with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink.

Making this card has been a huge mood lifter….hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day!
