Christmas Cards Day 2 - Color me trees from SSS!

Hey, fellas, It is day 2 of my Christmas Cheer card making this year and I plan to do as many as possible and share it with you guys until Christmas.

Today I have a card which is not the usual dimensions of an A2, but I went for a smaller squarish card.

I stamped the tree images using some embossing ink and heat set it with White embossing powder.
Then I blended in some cheerful colors on to the trees and fuzzy cut them. I was not very careful about the fuzzy cutting and kept in playful!

For the sentiment, I used the sentiment from the same SS COlor me Trees stamp set and added it as a banner on the top of the card.

Since the card is a simple and nondistracting one with mild color pop, I wanted to envelop to be bright and screen Christmas! What better than a Red polka dot envelope!
I used the WRM Envelope punch board to create the envelope.

Hope you liked the card fellas!!!

The inner card with some fun sentimerns

Inner card where the fellow team members can write their wishes

Another look

I created this card using two pieces of A4 size Cardstock to make a card designa nd covered it with pattern paper and washi tapes. For the front, I adhered some shimmer pink card stock and wrote out the sentiment "Farewell" and name using some alphas.

Then I prepared the sentiment base for the focal panel by a distressed CS and stamped Hello, You are amazing and adhered a MDF die cut frame on. To add some bling, added a pearl border and glitter butterfly.

For the insides, I cut out some basic fun die cuts and panels in black and white with some encouraging sentiments.

For the team members to convey their wishes, I created an inner card that said Best wishes and a blank inner space to be filled it.

Hope you all liked this project. Linking to the challenges below.

Anyways it was a pretty much routine weekend in my place and here is a quick card that I created.

And the envelope

I love this stamp set absolutely. This is from Mudra and I am totally in love with this one.  it has two beautiful butterflies that I have stamped in mild tones and kept the color palette to a minimum.
The sentiment just adds on nicely and it will be a perfect card for your mom or sister or your girl friends.

Fall themed card - Special greetings :)

Hey friends !
How are you all doing today. Hope you got a chance to look at the shaped card that I did a couple of days back. You can check it out here.

Today I have a fall themed card. I know it is not the season but it feels fresh to include those colors throughout the year and it really helps to add more vibrancy with minimal embellishments. Here it is first!

Card with matching envelope

For the card, I took a kraft card base of 4X6 inches (top folding). I added a mat of papericious naturals paper. This pack has some awesome papers fellas. You should totally check it out. I then added a Itsy Bitsy Color Yoga tag after coloring it with alternates of orange and yellow using sketch pens and smooshed distress inks for the backgrounds. Added a stip of colorful paper and a flower and some jute twine for the tag and assembled it all .

For the sentiment ,I stamped the base using Memento gum drops ink and heat embossed the sentiment from Mudra stamps.

Let me know what you feel about this guys.

You and Me! Shaped Card

Hey there friends!
It has been a really time since I blogged. Wor and travel have kind of kept things realy bisy.. I am sharing a really simple card that I made for a friend. I have used some new supplies and embellishments that I got and I am totally loving it.
Here it is first for you.

Banner shaped Card and matching envelope

I cut out this card using the Peek-a-boo designs fist tail banner nesting dies on some great mettalic cardstock.
I wanted to keep the embellishments really minimal and throw more focus on the shimmer on the paper. So I clear heat embossed on a die cut that I recieved as a gift using the versafine black ink to get that brilliant effect. I embossed multiple times to get it really shiny.

I added a butterfly and a few tiny roses to add interest.

For the envelope I used a 12X12 pattern paper and created a DIY envelope in the matching size. Here are a few more shots.

Some effects there :)

Oh Heck! I missed your birthday

Hey there blogger pals :)

I am sharing a fun and simple card today that you can quickly make.
I love washi tapes but never get around to getting them in all colors. But this stampset from Mudra, has 4 washi tape patterns and we can create brilliant patterns in any color that you want now.

I stamped the washi's in an offset diagonal fashion using a few chosen colors. Then I stamped the sentiment which is really fun from Itsy Bitsy and colored then using Kabeer Art watercolor brushes. I mounted the cardstock onto a top folding kraft card stock lined with glitter tape.
I love the outcome. Do let me know how you like it guys!

Supplies:

1. Washi tape stamp from Mudra
2. Birthday stamp from Itsy Bitsy
3. Kabeer Art Watercolor brush pens
4. Mememto gum drops pallet

Miss you PIG time :( #reusewithkrafttime Day 28

There always comes a point in time when changes affect you to quite an extent. This also includes your close friends moving to find their calling . I am bitten by this bug and thought I will express my thoughts using a simple bookmark since my friends is an avid reader.

I stamped the fence and piggy on a scrap piece of paper and colored them using Faber-Castell watercolor pencils. I fuzzy cut them and adhered onto a craft card stock panel. I then stamped the sentiment, "Miss you PIG time" and cut it in a fishtail banner and adhered using foam dots. I finished the bookmark with a  piece of baker's twine.

I think this is a perfect sentiment for such situations. To say you miss them like crazy, but still waiting for them :)

Supplies:
MFT Hog heaven stamps
Kraft card stock
Faber Castell watercolor pencils

Flowery Wishes : #reusewithkrafttime Day 26

Hey, there fellas!!!
I have recently hoarded so many stamps and dying to use them all. Here you are going to see me use the Hibiscus stamps from Mudra. This is a beautiful stamp with one flower image and two leaf stamps. Here you go first!

I stamped one flower in Ranger Archival black and another two using Momento pigment inks. I have used a combination of Faber castell watercolor pencils and Kabeer art brush pens to color the images. Once colored, I have fuzzy cut the images. I took a 4 X 6 card base and this is of a shiny surface one one side. I had this pretty die cut sentiment that I received as a gift from Ritika. Perfect birthday sentiment I would say!


I arranged the flowers and leaves around the sentiment an finally mounted it onto kraft card stock.

"It is a girl" card #ReusewithKrafttime Day 24

Hi all,
I am here with a quick post today.
I wanted to do some sketch challenge cards so thought I will take up the peek a boo designs card sketch for inspiration.
Here is my card first and the corresponding sketch.

I created a bokeh effect on the base panel with picked raspberry distress ink and white versa craft ink.
I added a heavy lace knot on the border and stamped a stork with a bundle from peek a boo stamp set. I layered it using an offset fashion.

I have stamped "It is a girl" sentiment from the same stampset.

Let me know what you think folks
