Dream .... a mixed media layout

 Hello friends,

Here I am sharing my DT inspiration post for Splashymix Challenge based on the September mood board. 

Mood board

The mood board is white, grey, brown with a hint of black and pink. When I saw the color pallet, I was reminded of the beautiful paper from Mintay paper 'Marry Me' paper pack. I coated it with clear gesso and used a picture from Pinterest as my focal point.

I used fussy cut flowers from the same paper pack and my hand made flowers to embellish. Here are some closer pictures. 

 

Here is a video of the whole process:

Hope you liked my project. Till next time - stay safe and keep crafting!

Wedding cards.

Hello friends,

January and February were busy months, attending weddings and making cards for the occasion. I made a couple of cards that I couldn't share before using Mintay papers - 'Dreamer' paper collection.

Here is the first card:

This card my color palette was more of purple and pink. I fussy cut a few elements from the pack and layered it. I added die-cuts with Fantasy dies and decorated with my handmade flowers. Here are more pics

Here is the second card:

For this card, the color was more of blue. I decorated with fussy cut elements, die-cuts using Fantasy dies and my handmade flowers. 

I had two scrap pieces of the paper and used it on the inner panel and added a dies cut at the overlapping edge.

Hope you liked my card. Till next time - Happy crafting!

DT post for Mini Album Makers Challenge

Hello crafty peeps,

I am thrilled to be part of Mini album Maker Challenge team. I love creating mini albums and this opportunity will help me try new things and also journals. So here I am with inspiration for the February Challenge.

For my first project, I have made a mini scrapbook album, measuring 7.5 inches x 5.5 inches. It has four pocket pages measuring 7 inches x 5 inches, with flaps and tuck in spots for journaling tags.

I have used the paper pack 'Love Letters' from Mintay papers. here are some pictures of the album.

Back cover of the album.

Here is a brief description of how I made it. 

 I took medium weight chipboard pieces measuring 7.5 inches x 5.5 inches and another piece measuring 2.5 inches by 5.5 inches for the spine. I added red tacky tape around the edges and also tyvec strips at the hinges for strength.

 Tip: Add double strips of tacky tape at the hinges for more strength since this part is used more.

I covered the chipboard with ivory-colored cardstock. 

For the hinge, I took a cardstock measuring 6.5 inches by 5 inches. I trim down the 5 inches a sliver so that the pockets can fit easily. I have made a hidden hinge for the album. I generally leave only a quarter of an inch as wings on both ends. So I scored 1/4 of an inch first and scored every half an inch up to 6 1/4, so that you get 4 hinges with half an inch gusset between them. I added the pocket sleeves and flaps. 

Here is a walkthrough of the album:

Engagement Card.

Hello,

Today I am sharing an engagement card made using Mintay papers - 'Marry Me' collection. I made a top fold, square card measuring 6 x 6 inches.

I have used die cuts using Fantasy Dies to decorate the panel. 

I fussy cut a few elements from the paper pack and added my handmade flowers. I added a couple of gemstones and die cut elements. 

I layered the inner panel also to match the front one. I added the sentiment at the bottom left corner.

 Hope you like my card. Thank you for visiting my blog. Till next time - Happy Crafting!!

Birthday card for a dear friend.

Hello,

I recently made a card for the birthday of my dear friend. I used Mintay papers and die cuts using Fantasy dies. And obviously my handmade flowers as embellishments. 😀

The card is A4 size - 8.25 x 5.75 inches. I chose the pattern papers and distressed the edges. I layered them with lace die cuts using Fantasy dies. I have used Mintay papers 'Bloomville'. I fussy cut two butterflies from the pack and added glitter to them. 

I have used Hydrangea dies from Fantasy dies to create the blue hydrangea flowers. For the rose and other filler flowers, I used the Classic Rose die from Heartfelt Creations. The sentiment is from Kelly Creates stamp set which I stamped and heat embossed. I added a few gemstones as embellishments.

For the inner panel, I tore the pattern paper diagonally and layered it with lace die cuts. I added the sentiment on the left corner down, so that the pattern paper image is visible.

Thank you for stopping by. If you liked my card, show some love by sharing your thoughts in the comments section below.
