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!

Wild About blue

Hello all!

I am playing with some awesome new papers from the Wild about Blue 6"x6"papaer packWild About Blue 6"x6" paper pack from Crafttangles for Craft Adda, the awesome online craft store!

For this card, I made some punch craft flowers with white paper as well as stacked some Thank you die cuts (from Penny black) to add dimension.

For this card, too, I made some punch craft flowers, but reversed the colours! I just love the look of the pretty blue flowers against the white tag! I finished the card with a simple stamped sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

For this card I went for strong background colours and pretty punched butterflies in light blue.
I added a simple sentiment stamp from Paper smooches to finish off the card.

Printed butterflies!

Hello all!I am playing a few challenges today with this fun card which I made  with some awesome new papers from Crafttangles.

  After struggling with them for a bit, I decided to use the Retrosketches Challenge #180  and the colour throwdown #359 to make the card.

I decided to submit it for the NBUS (the papers are new!)challenge, the SSSmonday (die cut or punch challenge), and the Paper smooches anything goes challenge.

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches and I added some self adhesive gemstones to finis off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a great day!

 

ANIMAL CLOTHESPIN MAGNETS AND WOVEN BOOKMARKS

A few things we've made in the last couple of weeks...

 We tried paper weaving using quilling strips...quite successfull I thought!
Our project was inspired by a project from the book, "big book of papercrafts" by Vivienne Bolton.
The kids decorated the bookmarks in a variety of ways, as you can see...
In the picture above, my student Millie, used various stips of paper to make an evening sky and then she stamped an image of palm trees and sea gulls in black to make a silhouette. It looks remarkable...don't you think?!
Stamps are from Inkadinkado's 'coastal maritime' stamp set.

 Here, my younger students made animal clothes peg magnets. Asimple project, they made it by drawing, colouring and cutting out animal faces and then fixing them to wooden clothespins. They then attached magnetic strips to the back of the pegs making them perfect  and useful fridge magnets to delight their moms!

Enjoy!

Fun with Vellum!

I love playing with coloured vellum...here are a few cards...

I have used cuttle bug embossing folders to create the backgrounds.
