Homemade "Thinking of you " greeting Card

Hello All. I made  a card using Reverse masking technique. To create the oval mask, I used Spellbinder classic oval die set to cutout the oval shape and used the outline as a stencil. I then laid the hollow piece of card stock on to the white card stock and sponged it with dried marigold and worn lipstick distress ink. 

Next, I removed the mask and stamped the rose flower image and sentiment using Memento black ink and mounted it on black card stock. Finally added rhinestones to embellish it. Both the image and the sentiment are from Parisian Postcard Stamp set by Sweet n Sassy Stamps. Hope you liked it.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day.

Handmade CAS Love Greeting Card

Hi all, I have a CAS card to share today. First, I masked off the right panel and sponged the left side using  Spun Sugar distress ink. I then stamped the design multiple times on the sponged area to create the striped pattern along the sides.

Next, I stamped the rose flower, butterfly and  sentiment on the other side. I colored the flower using Spun Sugar and Shabby Shutters distress ink. Added some rhinestone and metallic cord to embellish the card. The "Love" sentiment is from Stampin Up and all the other stamps are from Parisian Postcard Stamp Set by Sweet and Sassy Stamps.

My Special thanks to Gracie ( Graciellie Design) for the beautiful Parisian Postcard Stamp Set.

Hope you like my card today. Thanks for stopping by.

Twisted Gift Card Holder / Handmade Gift Card Holder Tutorial

Here is a Gift Card Holder I created some days back and they were so easy to make. The base of the holder is Black card stock layered with pattern papers. The beautiful PP's on the front are from My Cubby Craft's Candy. These PP's came along with some awesome selection of goodies. Thanks a lot Jennifer.

Here is the mini tutorial,

Cut cardstock 41/4" X 8". Score it diagonally and crease the fold.

 Turn the cardstock. Score at the center and fold. That's it. Decorate with patterned paper ( Reduce the pattern paper size by 1/8" and repeat the above steps).   

     

There are two pockets (front and inside)  to hold the card. Inside PP's are from Colorbok. I have used a free Digi Sentiment from Birds Card. 

For embellishment, I used Docraft Xcut Border Punch, Martha Stewart lace scalloped heart punch, Petaloo Flower, Pearls and Rhinestones. Hope you liked it.
