Happy Birthday

Hello everyone!

Today I have a beautiful Birthday project to share with you! This is my DT project for Cut It Up challenge with a Birthday theme!

Important: So glad to see my project in Top Picks!!!
https://craftyscrappers.wordpress.com/2018/09/29/challenge25florals-textures-winners-announced/

I started my card with the build -a- rose stencil to create a rose bouquet with all shimmer, textures and dimension on a white dotted panel which is placed on the black one with an angel.

 Oh Goodness, and I love the pretty result. Added some splatters in black. Unluckily My hand touch a little bit, so I hide it with the sentiment and It worked perfectly!

The patterned paper is from the PP. I loooooooove black and white patterns and this pack is full of black & white goodness. I also applied clear textured paste through the stencil on the that PP and sprayed the color, applied some black chalk paint here and there with little effect and spritz some water and remove the extra color using a baby wipe.

Happy birthday is a MDF chipboard cutout and I added a layer of black and turrel chalk paint, orange spray and applied these colors with a brush and highlighted it with gold shimmer paste.

Now add all the layers to black Card base.  For the shabby look added a gorgeous lace and adhered the rose panel at my focal point.

Embellished it with some foam flowers, 3D stickers and pollens.

Framed florals Birthday wishes!

Hello dear friends!
Happy Wednesday!

We are welcoming wonderful September. Are you ready for the change of season?

 I love the colors of early fall. Little by little Autumn bells are ringing and with it, in my mind, I created a fall color background on this dimensional floral framed Birthday Wishes card!

I thought I would share a few steps by step photos how I created this floral frame card.

Firstly, I paired a variety of watercolor florals with leaves out of critter sheets, fussy cut them.

Die cut the biggest inverted scallop rectangle frame 3 times, Fence and hills 2 times out of white CS and wild grasses from black CS.

I embossed one of the fences in woodgrain, also inked it with DI. Added that fence to another one.

 

Distressed the embossed raised parts of the fence. Then blending green inks on the hills. Added some droplets of water and removed the excess using a baby wipe.

Tip: Always take a rough pic before arrangement or final output, later on, I changed my mind and put all the elements on one side only.



On a white CS, I created a background with blending of some Distress Inks. 

 Once all the elements of the scene were finished I began assembling them. The fence was attached to the card base section with thin strips of mounting tape. Next the hills with a scrap piece of grass border and layered the last border hill to create my ground using a double stick tape with some black splatters.

Arranged the florals with leaves and foliage using wild grass and tucked them behind my flowers and leaves with full of depth and dimensions on one side of the card. And I used every little scrap pieces in this creation:)D. Added the 3 layers of the inverted scalloped rectangle to create a window scene using double stick tape.
Fussy cut the sentiment along with some florals and leaves and added at the right side corner and distressed the banner edges for more interest.

Then seeing the smallest stitched tag die, I got a creative bulb idea to convert it into a cute envelope as the picture says all. Added some stitching lines using a white gel pen.

Finished it off with some green droplets here & there, glitter dust in flower centre and a cute butterfly. I think it is turned out perfect with florals and sentiment! We don't have fall colors in Delhi and it is something I missed here but I love fall colors. I hope you have found my step by step pictures helpful!

Here is the inside view to write the message!

Hoping this project gave you some ideas to create yours! Super fun and easy!

Happy crafting!

Handmade embellishment 3 Fold card with a Lumba!

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

I made a folded card with a twist using my own handmade embellishment to cover it up and made a matching Lumba for Bhabhi celebrated Rakhi festival in India! 

Firstly I created a 3 fold card base from a textured white CS. And the stamped folded part is easily tugged under this embellished part from the bottom portion because it is untucked.

This is the Topside fold. I made my own handmade embellishments using negative of chippies, handmade flowers, stamped flowers and decorated it.  And added it with using double-sided adhesive foam tape at the top only and it helps to cover the other part while folding (shown in the above pic).

Using clear embossing ink heat embossed those polka dots with embossing powder and opened as shown in the pic. And open like this:

I stamped the sentiment in the centre part with some leaves and embellished it too.

To create this I die cut some flowers, stamped some mendhika style flowers and leves on vellum. Then heat embossed and fussy cut them.

Now arranged them on a chipboard piece as shown in the pic. I heat embossed one of the nested square parts too using metallic EP. Highlighted by some of the plastic flowers using Inka gold to decorate the centre of flowers.

Now I made a matching Lumba for this card set to gift. 

I die cut flowers from fabric satin cloth as shown in the pic. And decorated as I wanted! 

I am happy that this die can cut this satin cloth so easily!!! Made a rose flower and highlighted the edges with silver embossing paste and let it dry properly. And added through a string with a lot of embellishments.

Here is the video

Hoping you enjoyed my project!

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!
