Diecutting and stencilling with glimmer paste

Hello!

I've been having so much fun with Craftangles glimmer pastes this month!!

I also decided to play with the Tiffany inspired colours..aqua, white, gold and black.

Here is what I came up with!

For my first card, I started out by stencilling a cardstock panel with Tim Holtz 'Cracked Pistachio' and Craftangles 'Gold Dust' glimmer paste and the Craftangles 'dots' stencil.

I then die cut the word 'Happy' using the Winnie and Walter die and created a simple shaker card, filling it with Craftangles 'clear shimmer' sequins.

I added a stamped and fussy cut Altenew  layered rose to add some colour. I finished the card with a white heat embossed birthday sentiment on black card.

Its hard to photograph the gold glimmer, but the card looks really pretty.

For the next two cards,

I started out by creating two patches of card using 

Craftangles 'Gold dust' glimmer paste and Tim Holtz 'Cracked Pistachio' distress ink.

I did this in order to use these panels to die cutting.

For the second card, I started by creating a card panel using 

Craftangles 'Fairy dust' glimmer paste and Craftangles 'Abstract stencil'.

I used the gold glimmer panel I made to die cut the Flora and Fauna 

Volkswagon beetle car. I also die cut the same using some craft foam,

which I used to give the card some dimension.

 I then encircled the car with the My Favourite Things Happy birthday die cut, cut from

Cratangles Aqua cardstock.

I finished the card with a white embossed sentiment on black cardstock.

Again, its hard to photograph the glimmer, but its Oh so pretty!

For the last card, I was inspired by this card I saw on Instagram.

I loved the look of layered balloons and decided to try it myself.

I used the aqua and gold glimmer card stock I created to die cut the balloons (From Lawn Fawn) . 

I further inked the aqua balloons to add some dimension. 

I prepared the card panel using Craftangles 'stripes' stencil and Craftangles 'Charcoal' texture paste.

Once the panel was dry, I adhered the balloons and the sentiment (from Simon Says Stamp) and finished the card with some shiny black sequins.

I really love how these cards turned out..I hope you like them too.

Thanks so much for stopping by..

Have a great day!

So here are my cards...

I started off with the adorable 'Hello Baby' stamp set from Craftangles.

I stamped and watercoloured the image and fussy cut it.

I then used a cloud die to cut out little cloud windows.

I used the Craftangles 'starry background' stencil to create the background and stamped the sentiment.

I then added acetate, sequins (Craftangles 'Designer Denim' sequin mix) and blue plaid paper (Craftangles 'Pretty Plaid' patterned paper) to create the shaker.

I then adhered the stamped and coloured image and die cut clouds to the shaker panel.

I then adhered this to a white card base to finish the card.

For my next card, I have used the sentiment from the newly released Craftangles 'Dad my protector' stamp set, along with a digital, fussy cut image of a sword, which I coloured using watercolour pencils. To create the background, I used Hero arts unicorn white ink on Craftangles black card stock along with the Craftangles 'Indian motifs' stencil.

I heat embossed the Dad in gold to make it pop!

What do you think?

For the last card, I kept it really simple. 

I inked up the Craftangles 'floral circle background' stamp with 'Rose bud' ink from Memento.

I spritzed it with some water and and stamped it on some smooth white card stock. Once dry, I die cut the panel using Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle dies.

I then stamped and gold embossed this beautiful sentiment from 

the Craftangles 'Dad you rock' stamp set.

Sweet, simple  and a quick card to make!

I hope you enjoyed these cards. Don't forget to leave me a comment before you hop along to Swapna's blog and leave her some love.

Wedding themed stamps from Craftangles

Hello!

I am absolutely thrilled to be playing with the newly released 

Wedding and Diwali themed stamps from Craftangles!

The first card is made using stamps from 

the 'Indian Wedding' stamp set and the 'Diwali wishes' stamp set.

 I used Tim Holtz 'dried marigold' distress ink and the ink smooshing technique to create the beautiful background. I then stamped the mandalas from the 'Diwali wishes' stamp set using 

Tim Holtz 'Spiced Marmalade' distress oxide to create a tone on tone look.

I stamped the focal image using Tim Holtz 'Vintage Photo' distress ink on smooth white cardstock and watercoloured the same using Sakura Koi watercolour cakes.

I then popped up the focal image using fun foam.

I finished the card by adding the gold embossed sentiment and some gold sequins.

For the second card, I started by creating the background by smooshing some Tim Holtz 'Black Soot' distress ink onto red cardstock. I did a couple of layers of ink smooshing and then stamped the mandala ( Craftangles 'Diwali wishes') using Versafine Onyx black ink.

I just love the depth this has created.

I then watercoloured the focal image  from the Craftangles 'Mr. and Mrs. 'stamp set using Sakura Koi watercolour cakes. I fussy cut the image and popped it up with some fun foam.

I finished the card by adding a white embossed sentiment on vellum.

For this card, I started with a background made using the 'Rays' stencil from Craftangles. In the centre, I stamped the OM (Mudra stamps) using Tim Holtz 'Fired Brick' distress ink.

I stamped, watercoloured (Sakura Koi watercolour cakes), fussy cut and popped up the Ganesh (Craftangles 'Ganpati Bappa' stamp set) with fun foam to add dimension.

I finished the card with a sentiment from Mudra Stamps and  'bumblebee yellow' sequins from Craftangles.

My final card, I am thrilled to say, turned out exactly as I planned it.

I created a shaker element by diecutting two circles and creating a ring using double sided foam tape. I filled this ring with large round gold sequins (to represent coins!)

I dry embossed the panel using a cuttlebug embossing folder.

I finished the card by adding the watercoloured (Sakura Koi watercolour cakes) image of Goddess Lakshmi from the Craftangles 'Shubh Laabh' stamp set.

                                         

I hope you liked the cards as much as I really enjoyed making them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!
