Holiday season

Hello to all!

Happy December!

I am inspired by a very talented Designer Jodi Collins and CASEing her card. And it was the layout of the card that really appealed to me!

Here is my interpretation of this. Instead, of stamped flowers, I used a Nutcracker with Christmas trees. And I have opted for the traditional colors for my Christmas Holiday card.

I really enjoyed coloring this cute guy, perfect for coloring with so much space.

The winter Christmas tree are from white sheet and I watercolored them using ZIG.

On a red strip, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it.

I have kept the design simple and added striped pattern paper to both sides of the centre panel.

I adhered to the focal panel with falling snow PP in a pastel brown color. Then placed my Nutcracker image with decorative trees.

I dazzled it with some rhinestones. Hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for joining me today!

Happy crafting!

Christmas Tea!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

What could be cosier than a warm and festive cuppa?

I just love the design of this fancy teacup die with so many little details from Trinity Stamps!

I started by blending my background at the top and bottom using DI.

I die cut the two sets of cups in the traditional Christmas red and green colours. I love these striped PP in festive colours.

Then I dry embossed the shape of teacups on a piece of white CS and fussy cut it. Adhered these pieces to the embossed cups.

I added some crystal drops as snowfall over the top to make them nice and shiny.

I stamped some flurry of snowflakes around the cups and added the sentiment.

How fun this set be to make invitations and favours for a Christmas Tea!

Happy crafting!

Sending Birthday Wishes

Hello, everyone!

Happy Thursday!

In love with these pretty array blooms, so delicate and fancy and I think the best way to showcasing them layering with striped and polka dots paper!

https://papersmooches.blogspot.com/2020/08/august-birthday-challenge-winners.html

I used a stitched rectangle die for a striped PP. 

Then die cut these array blooms 2 times from black scrap sheet and 4 times out of a white scrap sheet.

Now it was delighted to color the internal die-cut pieces with my distress markers. Colored directly and blending them with a little water brush pen and adhered those pieces on one another and adjusted the pattern according to my requirement.

Then I die cut a double stitched circle from the centre out of my striped panel.

I added a dotted green PP on my white card base. Stamped the sentiment using my Misti. 

Now adhered that striped panel using foam tape.

 Arranged the floral array at the top of the circle corner with dimension.

Accented with few sequins, half pearls and shimmer in the centre of the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy crafting!

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!
