Layered peony for AAA #48

Namaste, welcome to my blog, for new challenge at AAA birthday challenge. Do visit challenge blog for more inspiration here.

I made two birthday cards using Altenew layering dies. I am not sure of the colour combination as i was just using my scraps. For background i used Altenew stencil and embossing paste.

What you think of my colour combination? Is it fine or i should have used other colours?

Thank you for visiting and please do join the challenge.

Mono chrome birthday – #47 AAA birthday

Namaste, welcome to new challenge at AAA Birthday, Its stripes and dots. I made 2 mono chrome cards for the challenge. For more details and inspiration from my team members do visit here.

I was so confused while making these cards. I took put all pattern papers i am hoarding but nothing was striking to my mind. So i just picked a stencil from SSS and made a panel with embossing paste. Wanted to use entire panel because if any stripe remains I cant throw it and it will bug my mind till i use so i made two similar looking cards.

Thank you so much for visiting.. Which is your favorite among these..?

Birthday cards #46 AAA BIRTHDAY

Namaste, welcome to my space and i am here to share my cards for AAA BIRTHDAY challenge for february. Please make note that AAA birthday challenge is now monthly challenge it starts on 1st of the month. The theme is to use stencil. For more details visit here.

I literally struggled to make tjesecards. My plan was to ink blend but most of my inkpads are dry so i couldnt as i didnt get the right colour combination i wanted. So at the end i used embossing paste and embossing powder to make my card front.

I used wow embossing powders for the cards. Btw i have those die cut pieces which for sure you will see son in my posts on Instagram. @thedreampages1021

After joining AAA BIRTHDAY challenges i have kept few birthday sets in my reach so i can grab them quickly while making cards.. Thats why you see few sentiments again and again..

Hope you liked my cards, let me know which colour combination you liked. I hope you will join us at AAA BIRTHDAY challenges. Stay safe and keep crafting.

Thank you

CAS birthday card AAA #45

Namaste, welcome to my blog. Its new calendar year and new challenge at AAA birthday challenge. The theme of the challenge is Anything goes with birthday theme. For more details visit blog here.

Ink blending was always my favourite technique. But right now all my ink pads are dry so i cant use them. Its story of every year so i stopped reinking them. But for the first challenge of the calendar year so I ink blended small piece of paper and die cut it to make my card center and stamped a small sentiment which fits perfectly in this small space.

I dry embossed the card panel and added the ink blended piece on card front. For interest i used silver thread behind the sentiment and few enamel dots.

Here is my card

CAS cards with dies – GD Crealise

Namaste, Swapna here with my next post for Crealise, First let me share something about crealise dies. They add so many extra inner dies so it becomes so easy to do die cutting fun. When you buy any interactive dies you will realize it.

Lets talk about my today’s post. Cards are self exploratory so not much photos.

Card 1

I used the sentiment Happy, horizontal one with the frame and ran through die cutting machine with different colour card stocks. Glued them on a panel diagonally. And before gluing the took sentiment printout and that was a task for me as a person who doesnt like computer works. Added few enamel dots for accent.

Card 2

I used vertical sentiment with inner die for this card. I used smaller panel for this card and kept gluing the sentiments, I actually ran out of die cuts so on the last line i added plain die cut so it gives enough space after sentiment. I scored diagonal lines on card base to added some texture and break all those vertical lines going on. Added few enamel dots as accents.

Card no 3

It’s the simplest as I had lot of plain die cuts I just arranged them on a panel and cut the panel in circle shape. And I took print out of sentiment on a coloured card stock and die cut it out to put on the panel.

Thank you so much for dropping by hope to see you soon again with another post soon..

Set of cards for an ORGANIZATION

Namaste, welcome to my blog and it’s time for new challenge at HLS blog for dies. The theme is anything goes with dies. More details click here

I came across an organization run by a couple who collects handmade cards for hospitals, patients and healthcare workers. I felt so happy to know because being a reason for someone’s smile is so precious that too when you don’t know the person. If you want to know more about them click here.

So keeping in mind this need I made set of birthday cards. I used Altenew dies, I specially wanted to use the U die. It’s so big that it covers the card panel and you don’t need anything much.

I used die cut inlay and monogram technique for the card set. Here are my cards.

I actually used every bit of the backgrounds I created. Positive and negative of the die cuts are used. I could stretch them even more but held myself. May be next time again.

Is there any personal favourite from this set? Let me know in comments.

A simple birthday card

Namaste everyone.. Welcome to my blog. Today is a new challenge at Addicted to stamps and more and challenge is Birthday. Foe more details on the challenge and more inspiration click HERE

I made a simple red and golf birthday card using SSS screen elements die. This die is in my collection from so many years and I never used it. So thought why not challenge self and make a card.

I die cut the heart shape from white card front and mirror card stack. Glued both a little off set so that gold peeks out. Then foam mounted the panel on a red card base. I ran the card front through die cut machine using Little inker designs die. Which adds a little iinterest to the back ground.

Sentiment is from SSS and i gold heat embossed it and added glod mirror cs as mat.

Thank you for visiting and hope to see you participate in the challenge..

Guest designing at CAS(E)

Hello, I am so excited to be part of CAS(E) as guest designer for the challenge #217

If you have not heard about this challenge then I highly recommend it to you, there will be awesome sketches every week.

Now coming to my take on the sketch

I placed a slightly smaller panel on the card base, stamped outline images from Altenew painted poppy set and stamped with grey ink from Altenew. Then I stamped remaining layers on the smaller panel with Altenew inks. Used grey ink to blend on the card base.

Stamped sentiment from another Altenew stamp with Altenew black ink. Felt like it got lost in flowers so I outlined the words which overlap, I have learnt this trick from Kelly Latevola. Used corner choper to round one corner, then foam mounted the panel on card base and added few clear sequins.

Supplies

Altenew painted poppy
Altenew painted greetings
Altenew red cosmos ink cube set
Altenew green fields ink cube set
Altenew summer night ink cube set
Altenew warm grey ink cube set
