Sping time

Hello everyone,

Here is another congratulatory card. I have tried making handmade flowers with Heartfelt Creations dies and matching stamps. I have used Arianna Blooms and Majestic Blooms dies. I have used the Arianna lace die for a delicate touch, a few sprigs of leaves and pollen sticks. I added colorful flowers to mark spring time.
I have added a golden butterfly die cut to go with the layer used in the card.

Hope you all liked my attempt. Thank you for stopping by.

Cheers!

Handmade cards

Hello friends,

Here is another handmade card. 

I used cream cardstock and layered with green paper. I used a pattern paper from Eno Greetings 'Happy Birthday' designer series for the final layer. I have used strips of punched green and pink papers to line a strip of embossed cream card stock layered with a pink lace on the side.
I added quilled flowers and leaves to decorate the card. To give a delicate touch I have added a die cut from Heartfelt Creations - Scalloped Posy, inked with pink and green to match the color scheme.

The pattern paper has a bird which I highlighted by giving a 3D effect. I cut the paper from another sheet and shaped it with Hearfelt Creations tools and just added a dab of ink and stuck with foam tapes.

Here is another view to see the 3D effect of the bird.

Playing with dies

Hello everyone,
Here is a card I created recently. And this is my first attempt in making paper flowers with Heartfelt Creations dies. I used chalk ink to color the flowers. 

I used A2 bracket border from Spellbinders to create the edges on the layers. The yellow decorative lace was created by the border die in Spellbinders Asian Accents. I cut two dies and overlapped them. The sentiment is also cut with circular die in Asian accents.
For the flowers I used Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms and Majestic Morning flower dies.  The leaves are using the Spellbinders Foliage die. I added few flourishing vine die from Arianna Lace set by Heartfelt Creations, below the flowers to give a delicate look.

I added a cute Tilda image, stamped and colored with watercolor pencils. I embellished the sentiment with pearls.

Hope you like my card. I am entering this card for Challenge #13 DIE - namic card by Kraftzone. 

Happy crafting.

Thinking of you

Hello everyone,
Blue is my favorite color and I love working with intricate dies. Here is what I came up with.....
A double panel card with 'Thinking of You' sentiments.

 For the front panel I took 11" long and 4.5" wide card stock and cut the end with Heartfelt creations Layered scalloped die and folded the ends to form a gatefold. Small flowers distressed with blue ink added to give a 3 dimensional touch on the decorative edges. The gatefold is held in place with a blue organza ribbon. 

I stamped and embossed the sentiment and decorated the panel with quilled flowers. 

The second panel I used a contrast color - orange. This is a simple fold card with a cute Bildmalarna stamp ( From my Heart )- stamped and colored. 

The side of inner panel has a pocket with Spellbinders Decorative corner die where a message is printed with a tag to add your personal message. The inner panel layer is distressed with blue ink and the corner die with orange and blue colors. The tags are also distressed with blue and tied with a blue organza ribbon. 

 The video shows the double panel of the card.

New vistas....

While surfing net, I came across new crafting techniques - decoupage and Sospeso Transparente.
In simple terms - Decoupage is a technique of gluing colored papers or napkins to any material.
Sospeso Transparente is giving a 3D effect by shaping thin printed plastic films.
 Here is my trial into these techniques.

The above are special clutches and bags for decoupage.

I tried decoupage and Sospeso on mdf materials too. Here goes...

Hinged filgree cards

Continuing with Christina Griffiths inspiration, I tried the hinged filgree cards, which are small 6" x 4" cards made with Spellbinders dies. I am becoming crazy about Spellbinders dies... :) I added quilled flowers as embellishments.

Here is one more, but here I tried my hand with Spellbinders Spiral Blossoms die.
