Merry and Bright

Hello to all!

First I die cut the Centre Burst die out of black CS and used the outline part as a stencil. I placed this stencil on my glossy white sheet. Created a distressed ink background in pink hues by squirting victorian velvet and pink raspberry inks onto my craft sheet and blending them. Then added some water droplets.


After drying added some white splatters.


 I once again die cut my center burst die out of raspberry pink glitter sheet. 


 Placed that outlined piece dies on my stencilled background as shown in the pic. Cut the extra part outside of the panel.

Added that panel to white CS base.


The sentiment is so perfect for the Christmassy feel on it! 
The glitter outlined die .........really made the sun rays sparkle. In the end, tied up a twine around my white panel with a bow. And added some Embellishments.
Happy crafting!

Thankful!

Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

  A woodland creature who is thankful for nature. I came up with this color combo the very first time, How do you like it?


I started with making my own grunge dotted stencil. On a stitched panel added some sparkle paste for dots textures. The foliage leaves are out of rose gold mirror sheet and added some holly leaves too. Die-cut a fox and stamp it and outline it with my gold glitter pen, a close up is here:

Tried to capture the gold look but the day is very foggy to picture it well.


Added the thankful sentiment.

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!

Sunshine Blast card and an announcement!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

I am so excited with an announcement as I am one of the Trinity Brand Ambassadors, Happy dance!!!

I received a Stand Alone Centre Burst die along with a freebie Teacup die as an order.

The Center Burst die is just Fabulous and can be used with many variations! You can use any color cardstocks or designer paper or any technique to make a stunning card.

 I think the Center burst die is so easy to get those perfect rays! 

I am showcasing this fab die in a unique way to use!


I cut out the Center Burst die out of Pearlescent Cream and black color CS. Then I take out the sunrays part and heat embossed them with Blue Pearl EP. 


Look at the difference on both white and black CS  using an awesome embossed pearly look on the pieces of these sun rays.


I used the sunburst outlined part and popped it up on my card base. Adhered all the heat embossed sunrays pieces in the negative space as shown in the pic.

I heat embossed the sentiment too and fussy cut it. I really like the way this sentiment looks on the base of the Burst die.


I embellished it with some bubble blow Out mixatives and it looks like snowfall in the sky.

Well, that is all for me today!

Happy crafting!

happy purr-day!

Hello friends!

Happy Saturday!

Today is the last day of Cat Lovers Hop 2021 and I am showcasing a cute Purr-thday card for the loved one!

I think the cat looks adorable out of PP. Also wanted to try using some strings stitched through the holes! Isn't it so fun!

Firstly I stamped the cat image on a dotted PP and fussy cut it.


On a stitched holes rectangle white panel I stitched a crisis cross pattern using pink double shaded embroidery floss. On a thinking cloud, stamped a birthday cup and watecolored it.



I heat embossed the sentiment on a fishtail strip of black CS using Wow EP. I grounded the sentiment with a strip of multicoloured zig-zag stripes PP.


Created a snowfall background at the top. As an embellishment, I added a flower sequin to the cat head and a tiny golden heart to the black strip.
I can just imagine this cute cat sitting on strings and the dream she gets into ........ and enjoying snowflakes on her birthday!!

I started playing with brusho magic by sprinkling some water to create my sky background.


Then added some stars using a star stencil and sparkling paste.


The delicate moon along with a sentiment is so perfect for this background, I die cut it from a white foam sheet and once from a holographic sheet. Added this to my focal point along with a cute Christmas cat. I added a tiny muffler, a hat and a tiny heart to the cat with dimension.


I think this is totally paw-some!

Playful kittens!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

Today my card featured some tiny fun playful kittens with a dotted cover plate die. 

Janis is hosting the 7th Annual Cat Lovers Hop 2021. 

I am glad to participate this year! But I am going out for the next 2 days, so will come back after 2 days with more of my cat projects.


I started with a dotted cover plate die out of white CS, holographic sheet and white foam sheet.
On my card base, I placed one of the white dotted dies and marked some circles using a pencil.


Now I blended some DI using a blender on these circles and rub circle marks. Added some water droplets on the blended circles.


Now filled some of the dotted shakers in two colors, placed my cats and placed a transparent sheet on it and adhered my holographic panel on it.


In the end, I placed a die-cut sentiment out of a glitter sheet.

Look at these playful kittens, sp magical! Aren't they so cute!

Happy crafting!
