My girl she is

This is one more card, which I loved making for the cute look the girl carried.

The flowers are handmade by me and this is my first try for handmade flowers with heartfelt creations die after watching a couple of youtube videos. I used momento ink for colouring the brick and die-versions die for getting the effect of the brick and coloured it used Iced Spruce. Used the whimsy ticket stamps and thought it is too much of a blue now.. :/

It's a Baby Boy :)

Now, it is time to try out something new. So I thought of giving a try for a baby boy card. So, I coloured it blue everywhere including the stork, and I so loved this stamp, which I got it from Mansi/DCAM.

Thank You Cards

Here comes another try for thank you cards. The two thank you cards are made with different themes, the first one being a digital image, taken printout and coloured using Cretacolor Colour pencils. The thank you sentiment is itself a die from Memory box, got from Meetu Aggarwal's Innovations and Creations. Please check her fb page here - https://www.facebook.com/innovationsandcreations.

 

 The second card is something special, where I have used Heartfelt Creations' stamped flower image and a die with some pearls for it in the center. The doily is half cut, which I got from Nikkitan Jain. I did love the flowers and the exact match die cut.

In both, the ink used is of Distress Ink/Wild Honey.

I would love to hear your vauable comments.

My first try with Distress Ink Stmaping

Here is another stamp, that I wanted since a long time and by chance I saw that in Priya's store. Do you think I would have delayed anytime :). I asked her for the stamp and she said a big "Yes". :)

I stamped the guy and the girl, and for the walking through the grass/leaves effect for a greener future, I just used IOStampes and Tim Holtz' Distress Inks. It would be no exaggeration to say that Distress Inks are a treat for any crafter. Wow! I could not stop myself colouring the ones through distress inks the moment I received them from Maninder Kaur. Priya - these stamps are lovely.

Oh, did I forget to mention that the girl-boy stamp is from Crafty Individuals?

 

Brother Card

I made this card, with a special intention that it should not look like anything and it should be made special with my brother in my mind. I made this card for my brother who is going to celebrate his birthday on April 24th. Of course, I have not told him, but I definitely wanted to gift him with a gift and this card for his birthday on April 24th, though this would not even come up to .00000000000000000000000001% of the love he shows towards me.. Thanks brother!, thanks so much for being my friend, for lifting up my spirits when it was down and thanks for lending your shoulder whenever I did not know that I needed it.

Out of all the cards I made, this is something that I really loved making. I made an Origami shirt in handmade papers from Itsy Bitsy, a tie stamped and cut from Whimsy stamps, and s simple stamped image from Justrite. I have a lot to write inside, so I kept the card simple. There is a tag that is hidden inside the shirt which says "Happy Birthday Wishes". I especially wanted this stamped out image in this due to a cute incident happened between us, ofcourse in everyone's childhood, when we used to say "My happy birthday is on xxx date, my happy birthday is on yyy date". lol. Anyhow this is just some love towards him..

Brother,, it is simply great to have you always, and I swear, I promise, though we are separated by miles,,, it is only when I think about the crappy talks that we have, I smile..

Anniversary Card

Ok, A way new post again -

This is an anniversary card, where I wanted to try out all the new dies that I own :)

So, here goes all the roses from Marianne Design, the justrite stamp's for Mr. and Mrs., the inkadinkado wedding stamp, and Cheery Lynn's French Lattice, along with Spellbinder's die.

Please do leave some comments, positive would make me happy and negative would make me grow :)

Thanks all for spending some of your time in reading this.

Valentine Day Cards

I think it is a long time that I have not posted anything. I was a li'l busy in some personal work and I have not really posted anything in my blog, but I still managed time to make some cards. So, the history to these Valentine day cards dates back to my friend's request/rather suggestion to make a few to gift for his fiancee. I tried a  couple of cards, which I have posted below. But he entirely came up with a new idea and his own sentiments and after long long discussions, we finalized a simple sentiment, yet a powerful one. In fact, it was this time, that I found how simple words can become so meaningful in a card.  The first card goes here.

And the second one here -

I tried the second one for a vintage look, though it did not come so very well. We planned for the wordings "You are my perfect rose". This had a very old and a dirty-with-sand look, so we figured it might not be a card to gift for the first time for a valentine. Lol. And the final one comes below.

I stamped the image with the justrite stamp, coloured it with usual colours, and the stamped image added beauty to my words, whereas you can see only one rose with bright+neat colouring, and the other rose is half cut and the left one has a dull colouring. So the perfect rose in this image is only one :).
And I added a tag that I received as a gift from Huseena, stamped an image from Itsy Bitsy's birthday stamp(the gift box image on the tag), coloured it, stamped the justrite's Happy Valentine's day image on the tag and added the tag to the card.

You can see the wordings "You are my perfect rose" behind the tag. This will be seen when the tag is lifted. I just wanted the letters to be in a improper shape, to convey an inner meaning that - lovers may not be perfect to everyone, but they are perfect they are the way to their Valentine.

I have not captured an inside view of the card because I felt it should be little private to the person. Apart from other contents, it contains the word "Me" inside a heart shaped symbol, and "You" inside a rose with the message You+Me=Happy.

And I am very glad that my friend liked this card.

Will be back with an update soon. :)

Bye all and thanks for reading the above post.
