Hello friends…hope you’ve all had a wonderful time over the holidays and have had a great start to 2018…hope this year brings you lots of happiness and memorable times…I have not been able to craft much at all since Christmas so it will take me a bit longer than planned to post on my blog….there are a couple of challenges on a few blogs that I want to participate in so I should probably start there… 🙂

Today I’m sharing the only card I have been able to create for my blog …I started with creating a base from a textured orange cardstock and rounded all four edges of the card…I then rounded the edges of a plain black cardstock layer and adhered it to a silver foil die cut rectangle layer before placing them on the card front…

On a separate piece of watercolour cardstock I stamped the flower and leaf images using Versafine black ink and the heat embossed them all using clear embossing powder…I coloured the images using Crayola Fine Line markers and a water brush and once dry,I die cut them with the coordinating dies…

Once I was happy with the placement of all the flowers and leaf,I used the Glad Press’nSeal wrap to keep everything in place while I was gluing them to the silver foil layer…I think it’s a great product for crafting…here is a video by Laurie Wilson where she uses the Press’nSeal for her card layout..

I added the sentiment stamped on a strip of orange cardstock and placed it just above the flowers and to embellish my card I have used some Nuvo jewel drops..

So happy you stopped by my blog today…hopefully I will have some more projects to share with you soon…Have a happy and crafty day ahead..!!

Fairy In The Garden – Make A Wish

16th Jul 2017Tagged dcwv glitter cardstock stack, Distress Inks, Handmade card, MFT - Make a wish die, Penny Black Stamps - Fairy Flutters, Tim Holtz Flower Garden Stamps, Watercolour PencilsLeave a comment

I have used so many different colouring mediums in today’s card and I’m quite surprised that there were no major dramas while making it…I’ve used dye inks,watercolours,watercolour pencils and Distress Inks…

I started with watercolour cardstock cut to size for the card front and stamped and masked the fairy and the flowers…I then used various Distress Inks to create the background…the shades I have used here are blueprint sketch,salty ocean,tumbled glass,squeezed lemonade,twisted citron and mowed lawn…

I then removed the masks and coloured in the flowers using watercolours and watercolour pencils to colour in the fairy…I also stamped some green grass at the base…

I die cut the sentiment using glitter cardstock and layer it with blue craft foam before adhering it to the card…I cut a very thin strip of the same glitter cardstock and adhered it to one side of the top layer…

Finally,I adhered the top layer to a plain white card base and added a few clear sequins to embellish my card..

So happy you took the time to stop by and check out today’s post…Thank you…Hope your day will be superb..!!

Black & Gold Anniversary Card

20th May 2017Tagged black cardstock, Gold Embossing Powder, Gold String, Handmade card, Honey Bee Stamps - Happy Everything, Tim Holtz Flower Garden StampsLeave a comment

Today I’m sharing an anniversary card that I had been wanting to try for quite sometime…the idea had been formed in my head (and my ideas notepad) long ago and I have finally tried it out…

The card base and top layer of this card is made from black cardstock and I have painted stripes on the top layer using a wide paintbrush and metallic gold paint…I then stamped the sentiment on this panel using Versamark ink and gold embossing powder…

On a separate piece of black cardstock,I stamped three flowers from one of my favourite stamp sets – Tim Holtz Flower Garden and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder as well…I then adhered them to the card front,making sure to used some craft foam under the flower on top for a bit of dimension…I had already added some gold string behind the flowers before I adhered them onto the card…

I used my metallic marker to colour a few white pearls and used them to embellish the card…

Today is also my parents wedding anniversary and I made a similar card for them using the same idea..I will only share a little peek of the card I made for them just in case they haven’t received my card yet…I used the Altenew Garden Hydrangeas stamp set for this card…

Thank you for your visit today…I’m glad you stopped by my blog…Have a wonderful day ahead…!!

Flowers – Just For You

10th Feb 2017Tagged Altenew Label Love Stamp Set, Derwent Inktense Pencils, Distress Inks, Handmade cards, Pebeo Drawing Gum, Tim Holtz Flower Garden Stamps, White embossing powderLeave a comment

I am always amazed at all the unique results I get when I use distress inks with water….and my favourite technique is to use an embossing folder spritzed with water and used as a stamp on a panel sponged with distress inks…

For today’s card I chose a pink card base and a distress watercolor paper top layer…I stamped the flowers and stems using black ink and then masked them using Pebeo drawing gum and a thin paint brush…

Once the gum was dry,I sponged in some distress inks to cover the background…the shades I have used are – seedless preserves,wilted violet,blueprint sketch,picked raspberry and spun sugar..I have then spritzed an embossing folder with water and stamped on the top layer…

It took a while to dry and after that I removed the gum and coloured in the flowers using Intense pencils and a waterbrush…

I placed the stamped sentiment on the card and I have used Nuvo crsytal drops to embellish this card…

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look at my card…Have a blessed day today…!!

You Are My Sunshine

24th Oct 2016Tagged Craft Foam, Distress Inks, Handmade card, sequins, Tim Holtz Flower Garden Stamps, Wplus9 Sending Sunshine StampsLeave a comment

I have recently started following Therese on her blog called Lost in Paper….She also puts up great tutorial videos on some posts…and all her cards are absolutely fabulous….

For today’s card I have followed her technique for the Distress Ink Penny Black Butterfly Panel…and in order to make my card a bit different from hers,I made two panels and used them on the sides rather than make one for the center…

So I started with a piece of white cardstock same size as my card front and used distress inks to colour in all of it..then using my Mini Misti and black Versafine ink I stamped the flowers first on the top layer and then directly onto the card front….I then stamped the sentiment…

Then next step was to cut the top layer into 3 parts…I kept the middle one aside…on the other two,I adhered some craft foam before attaching it to the card front…and after adding a few sequins,my card was ready…

I really enjoyed making this card…It’s very simple and quick to make and lookp good too…

Thanks for visiting my blog today…Have a great day ahead….!!

Flowers Pop-Up Card

5th Oct 2016Tagged Altenew Beautiful Day Stamp Set, Handmade card, Nuvo Crystal Drops, Stampendous Make It Pop Die Set, Tim Holtz Flower Garden Stamps, Wild Greenery dies by Die-namicsLeave a comment

Pop up cards have been around for a long time and from what I can see on the internet, card makers have been creating awesome ones…some cards are pretty intricate and quite detailed and I really can’t even begin to understand how those cards were made….

Today I’m sharing my first pop up card….although I must say that using a die to create the tabs made it quite easy for me…the die comes in a set called Make It Pop by Stampendous…so all I had to do was to use the pop up die for the inside printed insert of the card and folded the tabs the correct way for them to work and then attached the elements to those tabs….I have used some cut out peony flowers and leaves on the bottom tab and a ‘Happy Birthday’ banner on the top one…

I kept the outside/front of the card quite simple….the top layer is plain grey and I have used the smaller images from the Altenew Beautiful Day stamp set and repeat stamped them around the edges…I coloured in the flowers and some leaves using Spectrum Noir markers….I stamped the sentiment in the middle and used Nuvo crystal drops to embellish the card…

Thank you so much for visiting today…Have a lovely & blessed day ahead….Happy crafting…!!

You Brighten My Day Card

20th Jul 2016Tagged Banner punch, Distress Inks, Handmade card, Peerless Watercolors, Sentiment Stamp, sequins, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Tim Holtz Flower Garden Stamps, Vellum PaperLeave a comment

It’s the middle of winters in Australia right now and it gets really grey and drab mainly in the southern states of my country….so these days if I see a bright flower which has popped up in the most unexpected of places,it brings a genuine smile on my face…

And with that thought I started this card…..the card base is plain brown and the top layer has been created using watercolor paper smooshed with some distress ink…I then die cut a piece of vellum paper the same size as the top layer using the stitched rectangle die and decided to place bright coloured in and cut out flowers on it…

For the flowers I have used my favorite stamp set – Flower Garden by Tim Hotlz – and coloured them in using Peerless watercolors….I created the banner by stamping it with stripy stamp using yellow dye ink and then stamped the sentiment on it….the adhesive is hidden behind these elements to adhere the vellum to the watercolor layer below….

I have used blue sequins in various sizes to embellish the card…

Thanks for visiting today…Have a great day ahead….!!

Bright & Colourful Anniversary Card

27th Jun 2016Tagged Butterfly dies, Distress Inks, Embossing Folder, Handmade card, Kaisercraft Word Theme Pack Dies - Occasion, Peerless Watercolors, rhinestones, Tim Holtz Flower Garden StampsLeave a comment

I love bright cards and I’m surprised that I haven’t made such a colourful anniversary card before…I also enjoyed making all the coordinating embellishments for this card…

The card base is made from textured green cardstock and I have cut the top layer to size from watercolor paper…I blended in various bright distress inks onto the watercolor paper and water stamped on it using an embossing folder….I added a strip of dark blue glitter cardstock on one side on the top layer…

I stamped two of the flowers form Tim Holtz Flower Garden set on white cardstock and coloured them in with peerless watercolours…once dry,I cut them out and placed them on the bottom corner of the top layer…I also die cut and punched out butterflies in various sizes using silver glitter cardstock and placed them on the card…

For the sentiment I coloured piece of white cardstock with pink watercolour and die cut the words and placed them on the card…I also adhered rhinestones on all the butterflies…

Here’s a closer look of the flowers and embellishments on my card…

Thanks for stopping by to take a look…Have a blessed day…!!

Folded Birthday Card

22nd May 2016Tagged Handmade card, Printed Paper, Ribbon, Sentiment Stamp, Tim Holtz Flower Garden StampsLeave a comment

I’ve had the tutorial for this card bookmarked for such a long time and I wish I had tried it out sooner….it was so easy and fun to make and I love the unique folding technique..

Here is the link for the instructions and video tutorial by Dawn – Amazing Fold Card

I started with a square dark lavender cardstock and got the card base folded as per the instructions in the tutorial video….once that was ready,I stamped on the inside of the card and prepared the layers for the inside sections…

On the front of the card I have used a few mat layers and a final stamped top layer on which I have placed the sentiment as well…this top layer is adhered by using adhesive sponge squares as the ribbon needs to be threaded underneath it to close the card…

This card was so much fun to try….I hope you too are having fun crafting today…

Simple Thanks Card

13th May 2016Tagged Black Dye Ink, Gold Foil Cardstock, Handmade card, Kraft cardstock, Thanks Word Die, Tim Holtz Flower Garden StampsLeave a comment

The Flower Garden stamp set by Tim Holtz is one of my absolute favorite one and I use it quite often…It’s a beautiful set and I keep thinking of ways to use these stamps as much as I can…

Today I have made a simple card by repeat stamping just one of the flowers and stem stamp and used only black dye ink on kraft card stock to create the background…I did create a couple of masks so that the stamping could overlap and also so that I could stamp the stems properly…

I die cut the word thanks using gold cardstock and placed it on the top layer…and also rounded two opposite ends of the card base and the top layer with a corner rounder…

Hope you’ll have a great day today….Happy crafting…

Post#193 – Distress Inks Lifting Technique Card

16th Mar 2016Tagged Adhesive Pearls, aqua brush, Corner Rounder Punch, Distress Inks, Handmade card, Sentiment Stamp, Tim Holtz Flower Garden Stamps, versamark Ink, White embossing powderLeave a comment

Whenever I learn something new from a tutorial,I usually do a trial and then plan out the actual project…today’s card was a trial which turned out pretty great so I went ahead and finished the card with it…

I have followed a tutorial by Jennifer McGuire in which she teaches the Distress Inks Lifting Technique

So I have white heat embossed the image,then covered the whole top layer liberally with dusty concord distress ink…with a brush and water,I painted the inside of the flowers,stems and leaf….this lightened the colour and once dry I painted in the flowers with picked raspberry and the stems with mowed lawn distress ink….

I heat embossed the sentiment with white heat embossing powder as well….rounded two corners of the top layer and the card base….and decorated the card with a few adhesive white pearls…

If you like playing with distress inks then you should try this technique as well….

Hope you liked my card….

Post#173 – Happy Birthday Flowers Card

15th Feb 2016Tagged Clear Embossing Powder, Handmade card, Happy Birthday Die, Kaisercraft Stencil, Peerless Watercolors, sequins, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Tim Holtz Flower Garden Stamps, versamark InkLeave a comment

So while I had all the distress inks out to create yesterdays Valentine’s card,I quickly created a background for a birthday card….

On a white card base I used a stencil and a few different distress inks to create the background….while the stencil was still in place,I rubbed on Versamark ink and then heat embossed it using clear embossing powder…this made the background waterproof as well as shiny…

I die cut a small white rectangle using the stitched die and adhered two flowers that I had coloured in and cut out…I placed this at the centre of the card using foam squares…I also placed a die cut ‘happy birthday’ near the top of the card…

To decorate the card,I have used clear sequins in various sizes….

Hope you liked this card…

Post#97 – Flower And Glitter Card

31st Oct 2015Tagged Gold Foil Paper, Gold Glitter Powder, Handmade card, Sentiment Stamp, Tim Holtz Flower Garden Stamps, Tombow Mono Liquid GlueLeave a comment

I haven’t had much luck with any of the techniques for using a bit of glitter in projects….the glitter usually shakes off…..or it only partially sticks….So after trying out lots of different ways to make glitter stick and not shake off the card..I have finally came up with one technique that works to create this splatter background…

I just mixed a tiny bit of Tombow multi liquid glue with a few drops of water and a bit of glitter…mixed it well with a brush and splattered it on the front of the card…

Once the gold glitter splatter on the white card dried up,I cut out a stamped image of a flower and stem from the Tim Holtz Flower Garden stamp set and stuck it to the card….Finally I added a gold foil paper banner with a sentiment stamp on it…

The glitter splatter looks great doesn’t it??And it doesn’t come off…yay….

Hope you liked it…

Post#29 Flowers and Dots

5th Aug 2015Tagged Adhesive Pearls, Cuttlebug, Handmade card, Peerless Watercolors, Sentiment Stamp, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Tim Holtz Flower Garden StampsLeave a comment

More often than not, mistakes happen while crafting…sometimes things go horribly wrong and we have to scrap the whole thing and start again…but not before we’ve tried everything we can to salvage the project…

This has been one of those projects for me…I had stamped and coloured in the flowers and added a sentiment as well and was about to adhere it to the card base when I smudged the still wet ink badly…I thought I could hide it with a ribbon or put a die cut sentiment on top to somehow conceal the disaster…but nothing looked good and i had to put it away just so I could come up with a good plan….

And the idea came a few days later…I cut out the undamaged part of card out and placed it on another white card layer that I had embossed with dots…Also this time I stamped carefully and added a few pearls at the top….

Hope you liked the card…
