Beautiful Animal World!

 Hello!

Happy Friday!

Oh! Just look! who came to visit here?

How do you like the crisp striped background on this card with uncolored images?

Isn't amazing! I inspired by Yana Samkula card here.

I created a color block background using cardstock in two colors only. I cut the strips and adhered them to my card base. 

I stamped the different animal images in one go using my Misti, which made work so easy. I added an alligator at the left bottom corner and a branch of a tree for my hanging monkey at the top corner.

Heat embossed my sentiment in bright white and popped up it in the centre of the card.

 For more fun and interest I added googly eyes to each animal, Added some tiny dots to each animal using a white gel pen and black liner pen. Finished it off with a die-cut grass border along with a jute string! So much fun and perfect for kids!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Happy crafting!

A splash of purple over black and white!

 Hello!

I have tried something different this time. 

This is my DT post for Cut It Up Challenges with a theme of black and white with a pop of colour!

 I pick purple as an accent colour!

I used Daisy and swirl embossed background and slightly touch up the centre of flowers with DI. 

 Die-cut and intricate and gorgeous butterfly in purple glitter CS. 

Added some fancy borders at the top of my card in black and white with a sentiment on it. In the end for a more feminine look added a pretty dotted shimmery ribbon with a bow. Embellished the flower centre with some white pearls.

I am pleased with the overall design of my card!

Happy crafting!

To begin with, I started with a heart die from MFT and extended the trunk part. What really I love this die about various sizes of small hearts and leaves and its intricate design!

I stamped the pretty girl and colored her with my ZIG markers and added some dots on her dress for more texture.

Then created a ground for her. Added those part of tiny hearts in red color with some sparkle into the tree. and painted some more love confetti in the air to blow.

In the end, added the sentiment. Added that die cut panel on my card base with some dimension.

That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed my card!

Snapshot!

 Hello everyone!

For my card, I created a jungle scene and the theme is the point of view!

I used a super cute stamp called Wild things and colored it with my Zig markers. 

I then used a scalloped frame for the scene and adhered it to my Kraft card base.

I paired my image with a Leaf stencil to create my background since I wanted to capitalize on the jungle feel on it. I added a snapshot sentiment in black and popped this base with dimensions. I used a polaroid die for my picture frame and added a die-cut word Perfect which is already distressed. 

And die cut some wild greenery leaves and tucked them near the frame to look like jungle foliage.

I added a cute camera for this photoshoot which is paper pieced and enhance the beauty of this scene with some tiny flowers from my stash. Added some sheen to my giraffe image. Hard to catch.

Hoping you enjoyed my card today!

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Time for welcoming the new year!

 Hello!

Happy Friday!

With the computer boom and invasion of mobile technology in the '90s, the card craze gradually started fizzing out. When greeting someone was easy as keying in a short and sometimes sweet message.

Any festival, birthday or New Year, I would rush to the nearest card store in my locality to pick up an attractive one or one with great words. Those days I love those floral cards with vintage feel on them. So inspired by 90's time I made a card welcoming New year with vintage feel on it!

I copic colored the different floral images. Highlighted it with watercolor pencils and loosely watercolored it slightly for a vintage look, and added a tiny clock with a cute chirping bird.

Hoping you enjoyed it!

Supply List

Cardstock: Neenah Solar White CS

Stamps: CRSF03 from Jags; Stitches stamp from Bo bunny; Sentiment is from Ganesha- Mudra stamps

Dies: Clock is from Cuckoo clock set from Spellbinders; Bird is from Joy crafts

Copic markers: B01, YG0, YG1, RV29

Touch marker: B66

Designer Shaped Gate Fold card

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Today, I am showing you how to make a shaped gatefold card using designer border die and this one is simplest!

For this, I used a textured rich red card base in A4 size. Scored at 3'' from each side and burnished the folds well with a bone folder for the crisp edges. Using my designer scalloped borders die, I die cut both the front panels. Now I placed my scattered polka dots stencil on both the gatefold flaps and heat embossed some dots in gold sparkle and some in red ink.

I stamped the flower and leaves images on white cardstock. First I heat embossed the outlined images using gold metallic sparkle EP and layered the floral images in hot summer ink colors using shades of red, yellow and green. Fussy cut them all.

Die-cut a scalloped circle out of red and a stitched circle out of white CS. Arranged my flowers.

Adhered it to the left side of the opening in the centre ensuring that only the left half closure piece attached well.

Created a panel for the inside out of white CS and decorated it as well.

Close-up picture of the sentiment.

Hoping you all enjoyed the project.

Happy crafting!

Dolphin delight!

Hello friends!

Happy Friday!

Another fun card with lots of white space and inked sunset scene. I made my own sunset background using only one-third part of my card.

The darling dolphins are from Memory box have already jumped on my card!

I love how the waves go in different directions, creating a more realistic look to the sunset scene!

Summer and water are nearly inseparable, and that is where I began this card.

Firstly on a snippet of white CS, I created a sunset scene using drawing inks and they are waterproof. 

The trouble is, I've never used them before and wanna gave it a try, so I was amazed when I managed to create this background. Go to :)

Added that panel to my white card base at the bottom.

A close-up view

I tucked two delightful dolphins into the ocean waves with dimension.

Added the sentiment.

Cardstock: whisper white and black CS

Stamp: sentiment is from Bunny in the river YNS stamp set

There is wind beneath my wings...

Hello friends!

Happy Friday!

A card made for the colour challenge at Cut It Up Challenges using pink, coral, yellow, blue, green....... made me think of a summery scene!

Started with stamping the silhouette image in coral colour on a graph pp which is perfect for this cute image. I used my Misti especially helpful for exact placement of the image with good ink coverage on this PP.

The wild grass is created using ZIG watercolour brushes. The tiny flowers growing in the grass in pink using the same stamp, a part of it. The sentiment is from another stamp set with flutters by. They just really seemed to go perfectly with the sentiment.

Now die cut some clouds out of this main graph panel. I hand cut the kite base and then used dotted pp in blue tones and accented those pieces to the kite with bows.  I thought it would be fun to use in this cute little scene. Added a string to the kite.

Before adhering this main panel to my white card base I added pink dotted pp to the negative space of the clouds for more interest and textures using foam tape. Finished it off by adding few sequins.

Hoping you enjoyed this fun-filled card!

I hope your day is a good one!

Cute as a button Baby Layout!

Hi everyone!

I 'm back to share with you my baby layout for DCAM blog inspiration. A soft, delicate, little vintage page in light pink and blue shades, made with lots of collectables, chipboard elements,  fussy cut flowers, shaker element, stamping and dies.

I think you can imagine how excited I'm, presenting my first scrapbooking baby layout!

I fell in love with Bundle of Joy collection critter sheet! I love the cute baby images, baby related elements, glossy print, colors, the flowers:D

God's most beautiful thoughts bloom into children! Babies are always such a miracle that brought joy to our lives with such a little body........My sweet baby layout symbolizes the word Yesterday as the past memories of the times gone by...... every dream come true with all happiness, love, affection, made our life complete! For this layout, I choose a sweet baby pic with the vintage feel on it!

The cute baby images inspired me to try something different this time! I fussy cut every little piece of this critter sheet with all tiny details. I wanted to create a composition of flowers around the baby image and all cute little elements to showcase as well, so created this little scene!
I also added a strip of a corrugated off-white sheet and added strips of pattern papers too, inked all of the pink scrap paper edges with distress ink, with the scissors I slightly distressed the edges too and curled them for more texture and dimension. Love the effect and textures which are giving perfect volume to this beautiful LO!
I matted my baby photo onto a pink sheet and also used a chipboard frame, heat embossed it. I also used some die cut leaves, fussy cut watercolour floral critter sheet to add underneath my photo.
I did some stamping too around my striped paper with some double stitched lines.

For the duo leaves, I used an ink smooshed technique using distress ink and die cut them. Made a cute shaker too with scallop circle dies filled with confetti Sprinklers in Multicolor with a baby bib! Die cut stitched tags also from some patterned papers along with a sentiment banner from the same critter sheet and ties up with a pink twine.

Here are some close-ups:

Then I started to create my layers on the page with lots of flowers and leaves, clouds, rainbows and all the tiny elements I added on scalloped circles with dimension.

I heat embossed one of the clouds using embossing powder for more dimension and realistic look.

The black banner sentiments are from the same critter sheet and giving depth to the image. Added a text chipboard sentiment Dream and heat embossed in pink glitter for textures.

I like the final result and Hoping you also enjoyed too!

To finish it off I added some of the embellishments from my collection to decorate my layout, like a pom-pom frilled lace, crochet flowers, luxury button, prima flowers, a cute dragonfly and few hearts!
This has been a fun collection to work with!

Happy crafting!
