Neon Butterflies!!!

Hi crafty peeps,

Ok first things first!!!
yaay I am the winner in Mudra #1-Anythings goes. So very happy about this. This win comes after a long time and also on my first try @ stamping. yaaay

I am back after another big break. Last weekend i made quiet a few cards, yeah only cards. Since i started stamping, i am hooked to it. Usually i prefer Fun fold cards but boy! Stamping is much more interesting than that.

Ok before the new cards, id like to post about a small card i did some time back.

Neon Notecards

Neon Butterflies

You are amazing

I did a bunch of them for Teachers' day and my kids loved it. The butterfly is stamped and fussy cut (stamp set from cat's meow) with Hero Arts Neon cubes. The sentiment is Heat embossed.

This is a pretty small card, more like a note card. I also did a bigger version and u can check it out here. 

Thats it for today. Waiting to post more cards using stamping. Thanks for dropping by folks. Feels good to be back.

cya,

Sujana

Pink & Gold

Hello there,

Keeping this blog alive amidst busy days. I made this card for Teacher's Day for my daughter. Here too i have tried few stuff new to me.... Stenciling & Embossing


 

First i clear embossed the piece of card stock with script stamp and then i have stenciled randomly with TH honey comb stencil in worn lipstick. I also inked the edges with the same. The centre panel has the same script stamp stamped with Worn lipstick. The sentiment is heat embossed in gold. 

And see those gorgeous butterflies. I stamped and fussy cut the butterfly and gave it a thick coat of glossy accents. And it sure looks Glassy :) The smaller butterflies are punched and embossed in gold. 

Finally mounted it on card base with a golden strip. So how is my card? I enjoyed making it...... with lots of trial & error. See you with another card soon. 

Happy weekend!!!

YOU & ME Layout

Happy Monday all!!

Happy to share a LO today,

YOU & ME Layout

I loved this PP from prima and exclusively did this LO for the sake of the PP. Love it to bits. The only tedious work was to fussy cut the wordings. The wordings were actually from an previous gift my husband gave me. Gave a new feel to those. 

I started out with the photo placement and the wordings. Rest fell into place easily. The butterflies u see near the cycle is paper pierced from another pp. 

Charms, MDF, washi, heart blings, heart paper clip, twine and some distressing/stamping and finally am done.

Hope u liked it. Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great week ahead

Back to Explosion Box - Black & Red

Hello folks,

Good to be back to blogging. Today's post is an explosion box. With the pics first

The Box

Top View

Usually my style is to jus go with 2 contrast colours, this time i tried using beautiful pp and mix matched them. I am not perfect with heat embossing so i tried it in this project. Infact used a lotta heat embossing.

You see the butterfly... lets take a closer look,

It is a paper pierced Butterfly from the same pp. I drew Small lines with Emboss It pen and heat embossed it with gold Glitter Wow powder. Then finally added glossy accent for the finish. Loved doing it. My own lil embellishment

Open View

Shaker element on Box lid

Gift Box Centre

This box was for a wedding, For a watch to be kept in the centre as a gift. So i used all golden yellow where ever possible to make it grand. The red card stock base is fully stamped with script stamp in shadow ink.(Visible in the nxt couple of pics) Usually photographs cover the bulk of panels, but here i worked on all panels.

Second Layer

Close up View

All Sentiments are Gold embossed. Finally got the hang of it. I cudnt stop myself from heat embossing everything. See the bird cage and the butterflies in it. I punched a couple of butterflies from back card stock, drew designs with Emboss It pen and heat embossed with gold. 

So that's it. Hope u enjoyed taking a look here. I positively enjoyed heat embossing. 

Thanks for stopping by,

I was inspired by all the gold and glitter in the moodboard, also the flowers, diecut and the tiny beads which i have used in the shaker element.

The butterflies are stamped n fussy cut on a glittery Pattern paper.

Home Sweet Home

Hey all

Its very late into the night. My lil girl's Bday is coming up and so i got busy with it. Here with a quick one tonight.

This is a craft for my daughter's school actually. They were studying about diff types of houses, so we had to make a photo frame in the shape of house, i decided to do it the quilling way.

The base is a card board taken from the box of my kids' play toys (Packaging material), i even made a stand from it. I submitted it long back to the school, else i wud have taken a side view photo for reference.

Thats it now guys...

PS. If anyone cud suggest a good photo editing freeware, it wud be really helpful. Thanks in advance. Do give feedback on my quilling too. Can i improve it further anyway?

Love

Sujana

Butterflies !!!

 Hello crafters

Hope u r all having a great weekend. I hav made a CAS card after a long time, but tried out new techniques (new to me). Hav a look, then ull know

Tried stamping with Hero Arts Shadow inks (thanks a lot Vithya for the RAK), isnt the background gorgeous. Used the green fields ink. The PP is from Vintage blend stack (DCVW). I distressed it with vintage photo, stamped the butterflies randomly with green ink, the happy birthday sentiment with soft pool (blue) and then distredded again. (i literally turned the green PP into brown :0

And now the gorgeous butterfly in the focus...... i stamped it separately, coloured it with water colours n applied camel sparkle with my finger to give a uniform light coat. Loved the result, then i fussy cut it. Here is the close-up. The glitters have caught the sunlight. Added some bakers' twine & dats it.

Also i dressed up the inside of the card too. Stamped the butterflies randomly. This card is for my sister, she love green, but in my process i turned the card brown based, but the focal point (butterfly) is still green.

Thanks for stopping by...

A CAS card....

I made this card last week for my daughter's friend, who had a butterfly themed bday. Happy the way the card has come out. Am loving the CAS cards as its very neat n consumes very less time. Here are the pics....

Another view

The butterfly is an origami one... Very simple n easy to make, tied it with a satin ribbon to make the antenna. I have this 'girlhood' paper stack from lulupu... n I use it for most of my projects.... Very versatile. I have added gem stones for sparkle n dimension. I made this card in flat 10 minutes. Hope u liked it. That's it from me. Thanks for visiting my blog.
