Coffee lover!

Happy Good Morning!
                                     Today is a National Coffee Day! Are you one of the millions to celebrate it! And what is the better way to celebrate along with Amy's  Fall Coffee Lover Blog Hop!!!!
I am a tea lover and now converted my taste buds into Coffee lover by Amy's fun hop :) Hehehe!
And I love now iced coffee, cold coffee and hot chocolate coffee!!!
And Hope you will also join this fun blog hop with Loads of prizes!

Here is my fall inspired creation:
I love the changing colors of leaves in fall season and I am inspired by some browns, yellow and golden colors! And in this creation I played with lots of my new toys! I won a wonderful stamp set in last blog hop called "Coffee Break Collection"( great Thanks to Maura from Two crafting sisters)!!!

My card base is a Kraft one. Then I adhered a burlap panel on it! I distressed my white CS and play with my new toy Smooch Spiritz( which i won in a candy). I used a splatter stencil and spray and coat the paper with gold glow. It's got a real wow factor! Then using a bottle lid I, made my coffee rings and then  used my stencil again and sponged some stains with vintage photo ink. And I distressed the edges with my new tool! Glad to see the result!

    I stamped, distressed and then trimmed some coffee cups. Then stamped some script on it randomly and glossy accent them.

 Do you know this sentiment is Hand Written using my distress marker, which i thought is looking cute in reference to these coffee cups!!! 

Then I stamped the a sentiment Coffee lover.  And tag cut, distressed it and spray some gold splatters. Then I sliding my coffee cups along the twine and attached with pop dots, isn't it a great idea! Then added a burlap bow and some pearls for more interest!
Hope you enjoyed this coffee creation!

Celebrate

Happy Friday!
                     Whats better than a Birthday card for the celebration and I made this on a special request from my sister in law to gift it on her friends birthday! I am also joining the birthday challenge at Mervi's blog: Mervi's Candy and Challenge 2015. 

First of all,I made some handmade roses and distressed with some distress inks for the texture.

I stamped and embossed  the gingham background and sponged in rainbow colors using distress inks.  Cover up it using Cherry lynn die and inks showing from beneath.

Die cut the sentiment strip from Die-namics and aligned it to my focal panel at the bottom with foam squares. The fabulous cameo piece is handmade using my silicone mold and painted it with acrylic paint, isn't it great :) and added a gorgeous pink colored mesh bow, embellished my card with gorgeous lace, a fence peaking behind the roses and some pollens & pearls!

Inside view:
Inside, I stamped a beautiful sentiment  again in rainbow colors from Penny black Thinking with stamp set and added a cute die sentiment to celebrate the day!

A closer view:

Yeah, so i had lots of fun with this one, it was hard to incorporate so many elements but i tried not get too uptight about it and i was pleased with the end result! A happy , cheerful card! :)

Supplies used:
Snippet of White and red colored CS, watercolor CS and  pink colored Mirri CS
 Stamps: Kaisercraft Texture-Gingham stamp; Penny black Thinking with stamp set

Here is the 3rd one:
My creation is based on this week MFT sketch-

And here is my take on this beautiful sketch! I took a white CS and stamped some grid lines in an old and faded look. On a watercolor paper I stenciled this beautiful rose, masking it and applied some color bursts with spraying little water on it.

See the shimmery result on the rose, I loved it!

Happy Friends

Hello!
Good Morning!
 Hope all of you enjoying your weekend! I was super busy in my crafting room yesterday as Today is the last day to enter in an amazing, filled with fun and inspiring contest Hosted by a very talented crafter,designer and owner of MFT "Susan"!!!!! I just wanted to thank her for this great opportunity to challenge myself and tried some techniques and tricks in a different way because I haven't any stamp but I have some dies and a stencil in my stash!!!!

So Here is my first attempt using MFT products:

I enjoyed to create this design! The base is a green colored snippet. And I adhered lots of fringes on the base and die cut the sentiment 2 times. Popped it up and applied perfect pearls on the top layer and added some splatters too!

A closer view: And guys these enamel dots are handmade without spending money!!!! Isn't it amazing!!!! OK! its very easy. Took a pack of bindi and add glossy accent over those bindi of any sizes, Voila done!!!!!! I have learnt this technique at Crafter Corners blog post. They put Mod podge Dimensional Magic on bindi, but I don't have this so I tried the technique using glossy accent and finally I got the same result!!!

Supplies used:
Snippets of Green, Brown and Blue Card stock & Pattern paper from Jags, Fringe Scissor, Die-namics stitched scalloped edges and Accent it Celebrate dies, Pattern paper from, Perfect Pearl-Silver, Glossy accent, Friends label sticker from Porta craft, Bindi from my stash( used as enamel dots)

Card with Geometrical quilt patterns!

Hello and Happy Sunday!
 Today the card I am showing is not my forte but I am very much inspired by Deepti's creation as a Guest Designer at http://virginiasviewchallenge.blogspot.ca/. Here is the inspiration picture and I am inspired by square blocks!

I've always been amazed by quilt making- the patterns and the preciseness of creating this beautiful art form and decided that I wanted to translate quilting into paper crafting! Here's a little set I made...

I cut some square pieces using my pinned square die to make this quilted pattern and adhered them on my white card base using different pattern papers. 
Score then fold the paper as shown above, creating the triangular flap! The dotted squares lined up almost perfectly with my little quilt pieces, and look like  stitching. Here's a closer look:

Then I attached a heart lace doily from a different paper pattern pad and attached a same doily in vellum over it and embellish it with a cute bow and wrapped it with a stitched ribbon! When you will open one of the flap, you will see the hidden message there! I stamped the sentiment in second generation stamping to match with my color scheme as well.

Here is the inside view:

I have used lots of scraps here to add some little pics inside the frame! This is a special card for someone you love!
 I am very glad that every thing turned out well! Hope you will enjoy it!

 I have added my creation with a couple of challenges, I am inspired.
 And I would love to play in NBUS challenge hosted b a very talented designer Darnell, she has started a fun NBUS challenge with lots of generous sponsors, so come and join the fun! I have used lots of unused schtuff here,leaving only lace heart die!
  

I've had a go at the third set, inspired by some autumn leaves colors.
http://rubberdance.blogspot.in/2015/09/september-challenge.html- I am inspired by October 2014 color palette

Supplies used:
Snippet of White CS; Snippet of a vellum; MR D.I.Y.(with Love) Designer A4 paper pack and that another one from my dear friend Vibha Craft Supply( the stripes one and under the heart one)
