Hello friends... I am sharing a quick and easy card today which is basically a 20 minute card with an instant thought for combining some challenges 😄

Sometimes quick ideas came out better than a long planned one 😜 (Specially in my case).

Have a look -

There is nothing much to share about this card ...just masked one-third area of the card front in 'V' - shape using masking tape & then ink blended the background using DI . Added a silver heat embossed butterfly from Mudra Stamps (Gifted by a dear Friend Pooja) and then a Gem stone on it & some silver sequins here n there for some sparkle to this card !! Added a Greeting form a Printed Sentiment Sheet and ...viola ..its done...isnt it so quick easy.

Thank you for taking time to visit here !!

2020-05-30T23:12:00.000+05:30

Hello everyone ...yes its my second post of the day ...so welcome again and thank you for stopping by !!

Sharing the second card , I made from the same stamp used in previous post ie. Altenew Beautiful Day Stamp.

Actually this card was made under the guilt of the first card (read the story here)..other wise I was not in the mood of making one more but any how managed to make this one !!

This is a very simple card, but i loved it very much 💓💓💓 ...have a look ---

Here is the inspiration pic -

Steps to create this card are ---

1) Took A2 sized Neenah Classic Solar White Card Stock , added some varying sized yellow colored stripes .

2) Then I Heat Embossed the flowers in white on Bursto Watercolor Paper and colored them in blue using Zig Brush Pens, arranged on the card .

3) Added yellow enamel dots to add some interest and then heat embossed sentiment too .

4) Matted the whole panel on Grey Top Fold Card ..and its done ...Quite easy & simple to create with lovely outcome..!!

Watercolored Flowers ----

One Stamp - Two ways - Part #1

2020-05-30T22:27:00.000+05:30

Hi everyone ...hope you all are safe !! Today I am sharing One of the Two cards which i made for Altenew May Challenge !! This one is the first card which came out blunder...Initially I thought not to share this one but then I realized that mistakes are the part of our life and we would definitely learn something new from our mistakes so on this positive note I am here with this card ----😆

This is the Challenge theme --

Steps to create this card -

1) I took a dark blue cardstock in A2 size ...embossed it using WRMK 3 D Embossing Folder .

2) Then Stamped the flowers from Altenew Beautiful Day Stamp Set and colored them using Prismacolor Pencils .

3) To add more texture in the background i added circle Frames from Altenew Thin Circle Frame Die and some leaves & fillers also in the white and here i made the biggest mistake (according to me) ...I made the background so busy that it is distracting the focus from the flowers !!

4) Now i need something to subtle down everything so i added dew drops here n there along with diecut frame and sentiment from the same stamp set !!

I hope you all find it bearable at least ...do let me know what you guys think about this card !!

Today I am sharing a fun interactive card(Pull - Tab card) which is very simple but I love the way it turned out becoz only few cards came out what I imagined of ...lol ☺
So without further ado ..lets see the card ...
I tried No-line water-coloring with Zig markers also to practice it :)

Actually I was following MFT Sketch challenge from past few months and finally get the chance to try one recent sketch ...!! Also combined the theme from AAA Cards !!
Don't laugh guys but I love watching cartoon shows more over any drama series and I took my inspiration from the Max & Ruby Cartoon Show n here i featured Naughty Max in this card !!

This is sketch which i followed as my guide -

Here comes the surprise ...the fun interactive part of this card ...it works when we pull the sentiment banner upwards and one more bunny comes out with a new saying "HI" in the below portion !!

One more closeup to the cute bunny ...☺✌

I shot a short video also showing its interactive part -

Supplies Used -

Hi everyone ....How you all are doing ?? I have been MIA since long but this International Women's Day hop really tempted me a lot to create something & to participate !! Though this doesn't came out as i thought of and i am finding it lil immature according to the theme & i would definitely love to hear did you also feel the same about this card ?

So..here is my card -

For this card I firstly White Heat Embossed the Moon & The Girl with the Wings and then created the Night Sky, Ocean & Sand Beach with Lots of Distress inking & Finally created the sentiment using Harolds ABC Stamp from Lawn Fawn. Added some shimmer to the wings, heart & sand with the wink of stella shimmer pen & added some Star Sequins for more interest !!

I Hope you all like it ...pls share your views n suggestions for improvement as i am restarting my crafting journey ...Hugs !!

Happy For You - B&W Card !!

2018-10-15T08:53:00.003+05:30

Hi..Sharing a quick post today...Made a card for Winnie&Walter WCMD Day Challenges!!

To make this card I used Feather Stamp From PABD Designs, India and stamped it in a Random Pattern. Then Die Cut the "Happy" word using Altenew Script Die.

To add some interest, I stacked 4-5 Red Color Die cuts from the same Happy Die and adhere them beneath the first one in slightly shifted position, so that the red colour pops out.

Added a strip from the same red CS & some Enamel Dots to give it more life. Also added a sentiment from Altenew Label Love Stamp Set below the happy to complete its meaning.

I must admit that this is the quickest card I ever made and the result is satisfying too.

Hope you guys liked it too !!

Hi Gals ...I am back again with a quick card ...nothing fancy !!

Actually I love to play along the challenges and The Twisted Challenge attracts me a lot n I couldn't resist myself to participate . In this way I can get back my lost crafting mojo also .

This card which i made for a dear friend who recently blessed with a baby girl and i hope she like it :)

The Theme was - TTC#3: Go Bold + Replace Me !!

I interpreted the letter 'R' in the word 'GIRL' with a sweet girl cabochon n i hope u all can relate the same as well .

There is no logic behind the design so please excuse my bad imaginations . I just think of pink for the baby girl n thats the only base where the whole design starts from.....lol...sometimes i am so illogical that u cant even guess my limits of foolishness ...haha. jokes apart n Please enjoy the card. --

Card with Sparkle - made by Yesha !!

2018-07-29T23:35:00.000+05:30

Hi Friends...!! Sharing this post on behalf of my daughter Yesha (8 years old) as she made a card for the ongoing Kids Challenge at Simon Says Stamp blog !! She Participated in the same challenge last year also and from the day one of this challenge, she was pretty excited to participate and was after me to help her in the card making but due to shortage of time or i can say very busy schedule i was unable to help her. but i wanted her to participate so i checked yesterday that ow many days left to enter n then i get to know that there is only one day n few hours left then i immediately made my mind that i will guide her.

So here is the card which she made...the design of the card is decided by both of us...she did all the stamping & coloring part and i helped her in fussy cutting only. She did the die cutting also by herself only as she loves running my bigshot always whenever i craft. Also she did the sticking part too ...here i guided her only in the placements. But what matters a lot is that we enjoyed crafting together :)

I hope you like our efforts and please do leave some love for Yesha ...it will encourage her a lot !!

Thanks .

Checkered Florals !!

2018-06-30T23:13:00.002+05:30

Hi...Sharing a quick post as i am running short with the time & i really wanted to play along with the The Twisted Challenge & their link can be close anytime so here is my card -- (without any editing )

Please excuse bad pics as I clicked all in night n much hurry...!! but i realised one thing that capturing Red colour with mobile is quite typical...anyways i managed to catch the slightly visible checkered pattern which is much much noticeable in real . Also i tried editing these pics but when i edit n increased the brightness/ exposure, the pattern becomes completely vanished...so i didn't edited any pic!!

I colored the flower images in checks pattern using Prisma color Pencils . hope you can see that. Special Thanks to Pooja for sharing the tips to create n color the checkered pattern ❤

Hi Friends...

Today i am sharing my first attempt with No-Line watercoloring ...i was always attracted with no line watercoloring but never tried it but finally decided to give it a try....though its not too good but yes i am quite happy with the final results.

I followed the video tutorial of very talented Kristina Werner.

here is my card --

The idea of using cupcake is came from Deepti's this Card (Below) !! Yes i am getting back to crafting thru such challenges and i love Deepti's Work a lot so thought to case her which was required too in the Stamplorations B'day Bash challenge !!

I stamped the cute Koala bear from Peek-a-boo Designs, India & Cupcake is from Technique Tuesday Stamps . Birthday Greeting is from Inspired by Stamping .

Used Masking technique to let the koala sit on the top of cupcake and then watercolored with Zig Brush Pens (Need More control n practice 😉 )

Hope you like my attempt and pls suggest me where i need to improve more :)

Hi...i am super excited and honoured while sharing this with you all that i am Guest Designing for the Uniko Studio Challenge Blog today 😆 As my card was the winner in their last month Challenge so they invited me to Guset Design for their next challenge and i so readily accepted the opportunity !!

This month theme is - Autumn/Fall with the optional twist of Halloween !!

Here is the Challenge Graphic -

And here is my take on the same -

As I do not own any Fall/Autumn themed Stamp set so i used PABD leaf die to die cut the Big leaves out of my card stock and by using WRMK Next Level Embossing Folder , dry embossed the woody textures on the whole panel. Then colored the leaves with my watercolor brush pens.

Then using the Inlaid - Die cutting technique placed all three leaves in the negative space.

For adding more interest i splattered some golden acrylic paint randomly & ued glossy accents for clear dew drops .

Heat embossed the sentiment in gold from Technique Tuesday Stamp set and adhere the whole panel to the Base card .

One Closer Look -

Hope you like my attempt ..do hop on to the Challenge Blog and leave me some love !! Looking forward to your participation at Challenge # 43.

Hello freinds ...!! I am so happy that finally i could manage to craft again.....still in my moody phase but will be back on track soon !! There are so many talented artists around and so the inspirations ...and i wanna thank each and all for inspiring me through their beautiful creations & encouraging to create something !! 💓💓

Today i am sharing a card which i made using my recent purchase of Altenew Magnolia for her Stamp Set !! I was eying this and some more Altenew Stamps since long and finally i grabbed two sets recently and hoping to get some more in near future !! 😛

So without wasting more time , lets move on to the card which is inspired by the recent Inspiration Challenge going on the Altnew Blog !!, here it is -

Here is the inspiration picture -

I was inspired by the Erum's Card ..though i can never create a beauty like her 😜 . I just choose the colors , gold embossing , Golden thread and everything i could catch from the inspiration pic !!

For this card i stamped the BG with a Kaisercraft Woodgrain Stamp set in Momento Rich Cocoa Ink , Then i heat embossed the Magnolia Flowers in gold on Canson Watercolor Paper.

To color the flowers i used my Fabercastell Connector pens and i am so so happy with the results & with my purchase too 😝 as i never expected this kind of vibrancy from those pens but they are awesome & budget friendly too ..LOL 😂

Finally added the white heat embossed sentiment from the same set & some sequins /enamel dots here n there to finish off the card !!

Here is one more view..!!

PS - I am trying to improve my photography also ..so do let me know where n what i need to correct more !! 😃

Hope you like my attempt in watercoloring ....Thank you so much for taking time & encouraging me with your love !!

Hii...I am back again & up today with a CAS Rainbow Card which i made using couples of inspirational challenges !! Though I am trying hard to get my creative juices flow again...but i think it would take time.. :) !!

Here is my card -

Steps -

1) For this card i used various colored card stock scrap pieces ...cut them in stripes randomly.

2) Then took a scrap piece of CS and stick the double sided adhesive tape on whole piece .

3) Now the fun part begins is to adhere all the stripes in rainbow pattern on that sticky CS.

4) Then using PABD die , I cut the word Thank you out of that rainbow panel and using Inlaid Die Cut technique , inlaid another Thank you cut from a white CS.

5) Embellished it with PABD Enamel Dots and yay..its done !!

Steps - This one is the simplest card ..though i am not much stencil savvy but trying to use my best of skills :p
I simply use the pallet of our recent challenge's Mood - Board and distressed the white card stock with those DI ...then added the Vellum panel die cut from PABD's Rounded Rectangle Stitched Die and over that heat embossed the sentiment from PABD's Positive Vibes Stamp Set in Black. For finishing touch added some Turquoise Enamel Dots from the PABD Store. Simple and quick to go !!

Hi friends ..this is Vijaylaxmi Siyal this side !! Yeah i know i am MIA since long but there are so many reasons for being that..!! Anyways keep this story aside and lets talk craft .. :) I really missed craft this time and believe me its very hard to get back and bring that mojo back ...i struggled a lot this time while creating these projects so pls bear me with my silly creations..!! hope you like them !!

So lets move ahead -

Here is the -- Felt Mobile Case !!

Step 1 : Take Felt Sheets as per your choice of colors... i chose Black , Red & Lemon Green.

Step 2 : Cut the Black outer most sheet using PABD Dual Leaf die.

Step 3 : Now stick the Green felt sheet beneath the die cut black sheet for some pop of colors ..i used Fabric Glue here to stick both sheets.

Step 4 : Now cut some red leaves from the same die and place them in the negative die cut space black felt sheet.

Step 5 : Stick all the leaves with the help of Fabric glue & let them dry completely..You can see the glue in my pics :p

Step 6 : Now take some Red Embroidery thread and stitch both the front & back black felt sheets together. I am not in stitching much so don't know the name of this stitch :p we are done ...!! Easy right ...?? If you want you can add a button or strap to make it more secure ...i am going to do that soon.

PS - I would like to thank Jasleen for inspiring me with her amazing Felt Creations..!!

Now move on to the next card in which i used Inlaid Die Cutting for the first time ..& really find it so cool !!

Steps -

1) For this card i distressed a white card stock with some random colors of DI and then Die Cut them using the October Released Swirled Flourish Die & Thank You die .

2) Then Cut another white CS panel using Rounded stitched Rectangle Die .

3) Then placed the Flourish Die & Thank you Die on this stitched white CS in a pattern and run thru it from the Big Shot.

4) Now comes the tricky but fun part is to arrange all the colored die cut pieces to this white die cut piece. Its just like solving a puzzle ...!! So fit all the pieces in the negative spaces . Placced some matching PABD Enamel Dots here n there for more charm.

5) Tadda ..!! We are done ..its ready ..sweet n simple !! Quick too :p
