Baby,You’re Perfect

With Valentine’s Day just a couple of weeks away,I wanted to make a few love themed cards…at the same time I don’t want my cards to be specific for just this one occasion…I have used three Mama Elephant stamp sets for my card today and I just love these cute pandas..!!

I started by stamping the rays on a white front panel using the citrus burst Altenew dye ink….I then added a green printed DSP at the base of this panel which I have die cut using a scalloped stitched edge die…to add a bit of texture to this panel,I have embossed the edges using a large rectangle die with a scallop and stitched detail (a die by Kat Scrappiness)..I adhered this panel to a plain white card base…

On a separate piece of white cardstock,I stamped and die cut the panda,heart and clouds images and then adhered them to my card front…I have used adhesive foam squares behind some of these die cuts…

I stamped the sentiment using black ink right in the middle of my card and adhered some tiny gold and red sequins to embellish it..

Thank you for taking the time and visiting my blog today…Hope you will have a wonderful day ahead…!!

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…!!

My Entry For MFT Sketch Challenge – Sketch 342

The card I am sharing today has been created using a sketch given out at the MFT Card Challlenges Blog…It’s my first time entering a sketch challenge and I took part only because the idea for this card formed as soon as I saw the sketch…

This is the sketch for this week’s challenge…

I chose a white card base and a white front panel for my card and started by stamping the sloth image on the front panel…I masked one end of the branch as I wanted it a bit longer and hand drew the rest of it using a black Copic fineliner pen….I coloured in the image using Spectrum Noir markers…

Then using brown glitter cardstock and the stitched edge die I die cut one layer and then used Vellum paper and scalloped edge die  for the top layer…I stamped and clear embossed the sentiment on this vellum layer before adhering both of them onto the front panel of my card…instead of finding a way to adhere the Vellum to the front panel,I simply cut it a bit longer and folded it in from the top and sides and adhered those flaps at the back of the panel…

I wanted to keep my design simple so I die cut a few sequins from gold cardstock and used them as embellishments on my card..

Let me know your thoughts about my interpretation of the sketch….thank you for stopping by my blog today…Have a happy and crafty day ahead..!!

White Ink On Kraft – Thanks Card

The card I’m sharing today is a simple Thanks card…I keep thinking of ways for using Kraft cardstock with coloured cardstock…and for this one I chose a pink theme…

I started with a light pink card base and a kraft cardstock top layer…using white pigment ink and a large swirly pattern stamp on the kraft top layer – sorry this stamp set was unbranded so I don’t know the name or manufacturer – I repeat stamped the image to create the background…

I then die cut a small section for the top of the card using white cardstock and a stitched scalloped edge die..I also embossed this section and used seedless preserves distress ink lightly to  enhance the embossing…I placed the die cut sentiment ‘thanks’ using pink glitter cardstock and placed it along the edge of this section…

Once the top layer was ready and placed onto the card base,I used Rhubarb Crumble Nuvo crystal drops to embellish this card…

Thank you for taking the time and visiting my blog today…Have a wonderful day ahead…!!
