Valentine's Day Card

 

Hello All,  I am sharing a CAS card today.  I started by stamping the Peacock image stamped on a white cardstock using Memento Black ink and colored the image using color pencil. Took another piece of white card stock and inked the background using Memento Summer Sky ink I then, adhered the stamped panel on the inked card stock.

I sponged another small piece of white card stock and stamped the sentiment on it. Next, I glued the sentiment on the main panel. Finally, added rhinestones and liquid pearls (peacock feathers)  to decorate the card. Both the  Peacock Nest stamp and Happy Valentine's Day sentiment are from IO Stamps.

                                  

Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice day.

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.

Distress Ink Background using Masking and Sponging technique

Hi all! I have used masking and sponging technique to create this card. First, I created a mask for the top and bottom using Washi tape and sponged the rest using Peacock Feathers and Peeled Paint distress inks. I then stamped the butterfly image and sentiment on the colored panel. Both the butterflies and sentiment are "Direction of  Happy" stamp set from Unity Stamps.

I then removed the masks and scored three lines above and below the sponged area and mounted it on a black card stock. Finally, I added some liquid pearls and rhinestones. Hope you like it.

Handmade Congratulations Greeting Card / Long - Skinny Card with Paper Flower Tutorial

Hello all! I made a long and skinny card. This one was very simple and easy to make. The idea of making long and skinny card came from Mojo Monday sketch. The finished size of the card is 3.5" X 8.5". I used Fresh Floral Stack pattern paper from DCWV. Both the flowers were handmade using EK Sucess medium retro flower punch. I used Die-Namics Fancy Flourish die on the background. 

Leaves were punched out using Punch-Bunch punch. I added some Pearls and Rhinestones to finish off the card. 

Handmade paper flower tutorial:

 

Punch out three flowers using retro flower punch (or cut freehand). Draw and/or cut the flowers as shown.

Use twezzer or simply use your fingers to crease the petals as shown above.

Invert the flowers and bring the petal towards the center.

Apply a dot of glue on the center and layer the flowers on top of each other. Use rhinestone, liquid pearl or half pearls as your flower center. 

Hope you liked it.

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,

 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.
