Camp Create Day 1 – Die Cut Inlay

I always watch the MFT Camp Create videos as they are great technique videos and I learn so much…this time I feel confident enough to participate as well…for Day 1 of Camp Create, Barbara Anders showed the inlay die cut technique and challenged us to do the same…I really like this technique as even after adding so much to the card,we don’t add layers and/or bulk to it…here’s what I created…

As a participant of Camp Create,I have earned this badge…

I started by die cutting some leaves from an olive green textured cardstock panel….I used two leaf dies from the wild greenery die-namics die set and repeat die cut to cover the whole panel…then using a bright citrus cardstock,I die cut the leaves again for inlaying them on the panel…I used double sided adhesive sheet to adhere the leaves onto the panel…

I cut the panel to size and die cut one end using a stitched scallop die and then started on the rest of the panel…

Using a piece of Kraft cardstock same size as my card front and the same stitched scallop die,I die cut the section for the bottom…I die cut the word hugs from this panel and inlayed the word die cut from the same citrus green cardstock that I used for the leaves…I stamped the word ‘sending’ using black ink just above it…

Finally,I adhered both the sections of the front panel onto a Kraft cardstock card base and adhered a few sequins to embellish my card…

For today’s participation I have also earned this badge…can’t wait to see and create for the next four sessions…

I’m super glad you stopped by to take a look at my card….Hope you will have a beautiful day ahead…Happy crafting…!!

Easy Stamp Painting – Two Cards,Two Techniques

I have tried the ‘no line watercolouring’ technique so many times and have failed miserably to get the right result…I probably need lots of practice but for now I have found an easy way out which gets me the look of hand-painted flowers so easily…maybe this has been tried and shared by others before but I haven’t seen any tutorials/videos yet…

For my first card I chose a lime green card base and die cut the top layer from watercolour cardstock….now for the fun part….I used the detail stamps from a rose layering stamp and and various Distress inks to stamp directly on the top layer….I used one colour at a time and with a water brush I quickly painted on the stamped area,spreading the ink out and painting a flower shape…I used my heat gun to dry the images and repeated the stamping and painting with other colours…I have used picked raspberry,spiced marmalade,candied apple,mustard seed and mowed lawn shades of Distress inks…

To add the gold splatter I had to roughly mask the painted section……I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a green label and layered it with a gold glitter label before adhering it to the top layer…

Finally before adhering the top layer to the card base,I ran the it through my Cuttlebug using a large rectangle cross stitch die…

I used a different…and much simpler idea for my second card….most of you would take one look at it and know exactly what I did to get the hand painted look in this card…

On a piece of watercolour cardstock,I stamped the dahlia and leaves outline images using a very light distress ink….I used a thin paintbrush and Peerless watercolours to paint on top of these stamped outlines…and my painting was done…tell me if I’m wrong but I think it looks hand painted.. 🙂

I then splattered some purple paint on the rest of the card and die cut the words ‘love & hugs’ from it…I then die cut the same words from orange craft foam and adhered it all back onto the card…to embellish my card I have used a few metallic orange sequins…

I’m so happy you stopped by my blog today..hope will have a great day ahead…happy crafting…!!

Hugs & Kisses Card

I have seen a lot of card makers add white die cuts on a a white base and wanted to give that a try today….I even surprised myself with my own patience with this project and the neatness of end result…. 🙂

The card base is a plain blue and the mat layer is a stripy dark pink and white printed paper…the top layer is plain white and I have die cut the words ‘hugs & kisses’ twice using the same white cardstock and placed them carefully on the top layer…

I then die cut the XOXO using a very bright red cardstock and placed it near the base of the top layer…and placed a coloured in and cut out image of a little girl and a small dog next to it as well as a little birdie perched above one of the O…

Thanks for visiting today…Have a lovely & blessed day ahead….Happy crafting…!!
