AAA Birthday Challenge - #48 Layer it Up ☺️

 Hello my Crafty friends,

Hope you are doing good !! I'm bit busy with personal front as family members health are on & off also summer break has started for Miss A and she keeps me busy.  

Today's card features the layer it up technique, that's played at AAA Birthday Challenge - #48 

This cue word ' Layer it Up' gives many dimensions. Rather than adding many layers to the card I chose to play with colours. I wanted to try the new coloring medium and used alcohol markers here for the first time and I'm very much happy about the results. 

To add layers beneath the colored roses, I stamped the continued part of the flower along with leaves and heat embossed with golden embossing powder. Adhered the colored roses and petals with and without foam pads to depict the layers. Some gold splatters and sequins to finish the card .

AAA Birthday Challenge - #47 Stripes/Dots

 Hello my Crafty friends, 

Hope you are doing well !! And it's March  already 🙈 and I witness the summer heat here. Hoping that sun would be gentle in coming days ahead here 😎🌸

I'm sharing a card little lately that's made for the AAA Birthday Challenge for the March - #47 Stripes / Dots 

I tried to capture the colors of spring in this card, took the cardstock stripes of 1/4th inch and adhered them on a square paper and then matted on copper mirror metallic cardstock . I struggled to capture the shine of the same in the pic below 🙈 

I kept it simple and clean this time. HB2U letters are die cuts several times and adhered  together along with a vellum. I wanted to add enamel dots but ended up using these mini florals which were made for other projects :)  

I hope you like my card inspiration and if you would like  to play along with current challenge please head over to AAA Birthday Challenge Blog and get inspired by my fellow crafters to play along :) We have Hannelie as a guest designer for this month. She is a Desert Diva and queen of CAS cards !!! I love how she pulls each and every single card with so much simplicity yet beautifully and elegancy :)

Hello my crafty friends,

How are you?! I'm back again to share a card that's made for #mftsketchchallange - 629

I wanted to play for MFT Sketch challenge from so long but finally made it to link up with valentine card 🙈 I chose to keep it in classic red and sand brown combo than using usual valentine colors 💕 

Colored the stamp from My favourite things - Beach Bunnies with zigmarkers and to mimic the sketch have used stitched circle dies and love speech bubbles to complete the look. 

These are the closer look of the bunnies

New Year Wishes - 2023 🎊🎉🎆🥂 Wishing you a year filled with abundance love, fun and excellent health 💞

I'm very excited to be a part design team of AAA Birthday Challenge team and sharing today's inspiration with you for current challenge :) 

AAA Birthday Challenge is a monthly challenge and this month's theme is make a card with birthday theme (anything birthday goes :) Isn't interesting to play along ?! 🥳 

Coming to my today's card, I chose to make a CAS card with the elements which relates to space 🚀 

I stamped spaceship image on to it watercolor paper and colored it using zig markers. Added star die cuts in the layer as a baloon and drew a thread for same. All these were adhered on the white cardstock which was then placed on Navy Blue A2 base cardstock. 

This card is an interactive one and I have made a suprise tunnel that opens up when the card is opened. I have added the message and the birthday wishes inside :)

My favourite technique is Ink blending and I have used the same for the inside of the card as a surprise element. To achieve the galaxy effect I have used distress ink on the smooth cardstock and used oval dies to get the spiral effect and adhered the elements to complete the look :)

Hello friends,

Finally I pulled up my courage to participate in MFT SUPERSTAR CONTEST 2022 . Here is my entry Clean and Simple Genius Category. 

I have used the Stampset 'Tis the Season, stamped the Santa with gifts sack image using the MFT Extreme Black ink on the kraft cardstock. Colored them using the polychrome pencils and masked the legs & bag and added snow details for added interest. Sentiment was heat embossed. Added white snow details using white gel pen. 

Clean and Simple is not my forte, but challenges like these would help me to pull up my socks 🙈🤩

Hope you like my take on the same ☺️ Please let me know how it has turned out in the comments below 🥰❤️

~ LOVE - you are my happy place 😊

Hi my Crafty Friends, 

Hope you are safe and doing well. I am back again with one more LOVE card, please excuse me :) I'm digging out my stash and make it useful. Today's card was made using the color inspiration challenge from MFT , also challenged myself to not to use any critters. 

And thus the card made with only dies. I chose a word die from MFT and die cut them in the Kraft cardstock, and adhered a vellum panel to the back of it and colored them in the shades of challenge. Later to add an interest, I gave a stamp border look to that panel with partial diecutting. This panel was adhered to white cardstock to pop up the colors in the back of vellum.

I couldn't resist myself so stamped little birdie and colored them. Sentiment was embossed on a black strip of paper and adhered using a foam tape for the dimensional look. 

Hope you like my take for the challenge, do let me know how it has turned out in the comments below. Also if you wish to see more such projects do visit my Instagram handle - papiershades.

Hello my Crafty Friends, 

I am back with one more valentine card, but with the twist is using only dies. I wanted to make a non-critter card using Lawn Fawn supplies and I was pretty happy with the outcome after many tweaks. 

    The card panel was ink blended using the Craftyscrappers Premium Inks - they are very juicy and blended well with the shades in red. I have used outside in stitched heart stackable dies and cut the inked panel. Using the fancy lattice backdrop die - white and gold panel die cuts was taken and negative die cuts were used in the heart panel. 

It did take some time to stick those tiny parts to the panel and I followed Pop Up DieCut Inlaid technique here. I chose the sentiments from reveal Wheel sentiment stamp set , it was heat embossed on black piece of strip. All these elements where adhered flat with liquid glue on A2 top folding card leaving a small border. Lastly few gold splatters and pearls to beautify the card :) Below is the close-up pic. Is'nt it look pretty ?! 😁

 Hello Everyone, 

            I am back again with this beautiful floral card which is dedicated to my dear friend Disha. She is a avid crafter with a kind and beautiful soul. She is been a constant cheerleader to me and I want to THANK YOU DISHA for everything :) 😘

Today's card has a simple watercolor floral panel with the dry embossing on the right side :) I have used small flowers from Garden Treasure stamp set. 

I have masked the big flower and added small ones along with leaves around. I have colored them using the zig markers in the shades of pink , yellow and green which is also the colors of Altenew's January Inspirtation Challenge. I had also stamped small flowers separately and fussy cut them which was adhered flat on the lower side of the side. 

To give a dramatic look to the panel, I chose a loose watercolor shades around the flowers and added splatters :)  This panel is adhered on olive based cardstock with sentiment on the black strip 

Hope you like this card, do let me know how it has turned out in the comments below.
