Shake... Shake... Shaker!!

Hello friends

Its good to be back again... i have been MIA for the last 2 oh no 3 months. What with summer camps, bdays and summer vacation!!

Every year for the summer camp, my camp kids make a lot of interactive cards, but i have never been able to share anything here (already finding hard to blog my cards). but this time ill try and post few atleast.

Ok first of all, ill start by posting few favorites i missed to blog about. I made this just b4 the camp started. Have a look (but i might have posted it in Insta though)

As you know i was addicted to colouring digis lately and this digi found its way to this shaker card. Loved it. Its cute and my daughter gifted it to her friend for birthday. The outline of the digi is clear embossed with Emboss It pen.

The Sequins are from Papericious and almost all other stuff from my crafty scrap. I know i have lots to catch up to. Will be visiting all your blogs soon and the various challenges going on.

Hope you liked my shaker and see you soon with another one. bye bye

My Galaxy card

Hello there crafters....

My first post for March!!
I was soo fascinated with all the galaxy bg cards and i was inspired to do one. Here is my humble attempt at it.

I started off with the idea of a moon and and after few trial this seemed better, that is the sentiment on the moon. The sentiment is heat embossed in silver and slightly distressed with pumice stone DI. 

Background

For the bg i have used Faded Jeans, dusty concord and pumice stone. And when i was pretty satisfied with it i splashed it with white acrylic paint. 

Shaker

I made a small window with nested rectangle dies and added acetate sheet. Some silver sequins to finish it off. Also i have added silver twine below the Moon. 

Thats it for today. Hope you liked it. Thanks for dropping by and have a great week ahead.

Unicorn shaker card

Hello all,

Here is a quick post from me. Its a fun Unicorn shaker card. I actually wanted to do a slider card, but a shaker card was easier to finish for me. So do expect a slider card very soon.

Also Unicorns are my daughter's all time favourite. She is quite a reader and recently she has taken an immense liking to Linda Chapman's Unicorn School. So this card is for my lil darling girl.

Have a look at my unicorn,

The stamp set is from Avery elle 'Be a unicorn'. The images are gold embossed on watercolour paper and coloured with Distress inks. 

I have used my new Pumice stone Distress inks for the frame and the sentiment. The sentiment is from Peekaboo designs. Below is a close of the unicorn. I have tried watercolouring with multicolours on the unicorn mane and tail.

Filled the shaker with silver sequins and red stars. Dont ask about this combo... jus went with my crafty gut feeling.

Thanks a lot for dropping by.
Bye bye guys
Bye Feb.
xoxo

Castle Shaker Card

Hello hello

Am going crazy with stencils, DI and Embossing.

Sharing a quick card here. I made this card for my friend for their "house warming" ceremony. A look at the card first. 

Shaker Card

I first made the bg with TH stencil (i love it) DI (Peeled paint & tumbled glass). I showered some gold embossing powder on the wet DI, tapped the excess and Heat dried it. So the whole bg is kinda glittery, here its not seen though.

Then for the shaker element i had this stamp set from Pebbles (i got it from Ujjwal long back), which had this cute castle. Since the card was for the house warming it was appropriate. Clear embossed the castle and again inked the bg with the same DI.

Then i misted the bg with water from toothbrush bristles. Hence the slight blotchy effect. I would have loved some more water, but all this is new experiments for me. Filled the shaker with star confetti and gold mini beads.

Finished off the card with gold embossed flowers and bakers twine.

Can you make out anything from the photography? The Fuchsia flower? 

yup, the house warming was in Kodaikanal and hence the beautiful bg for photography. 

So did u like it? thanks for dropping by. Linking it to Lulupu #64 Friendship with a twist

Love you...

Hello folks,

I haven't been around here for more than 3 months. Crafting always but no time to post. Ok no stories, straight to the card. Creating a simple card is always a tough job for me. scrapbooks, explosion boxes and interactive cards are ok for me but simple one layer cards... nope!!!

Check out the card and gimme your comments gals

What started out as a simple one layer card, ended up as a shaker card. 

Am never that good at heat embossing, so finally ordered Goodbye Static!! Lets c, hope my next project with heat embossing turns out good.

For the shaker elements, i added tiny star confetti, and also stuck few stars as bling.

The card looks a lil better IRL. Hoping to brush up on a few new card making skills soon.

See you soon again (hopefully)

Frozen themed Birthday Invites!!

Hello lovely ladies...

With my lil guy's birthday approaching, i realised that i haven't yet posted my daughter's last year bday invite. It was a Frozen themed birthday party and loads of handmade items we had. Today ill first post the invites i made. 

I made quite a handful of different models. Every card is a shaker card though. I had saved this gorgeous snowflake pp and it was perfect for these invites. The shaker part was the tedious one but still enjoyed every bit.

For the shaker fillings, i used very small beads, blue and silver of course. And the snowflakes are die cut. I won these dies once from Itsy Bitsy. 

This 4th model is the first one i actually made, I wanted to create something like a scene, which dint turn out like i imagined ;)

Thanks for dropping by, do share ur comments. In the next post ill share other stuff i made for the bday party. 

Have a great week ahead. 

Playing along few challenges after a very long time

Easel cum Shaker Card !

Hello people...

Here is a card i made for my DH on his bday. I wanted to try the shaker card for a long time n thought this was the right moment. Here are the pics

Card lying flat

I soo badly wanted to add some pearls n stuff but resisted it for fear of turning it to a very feminine card. Jus distressed the scallop edges with water colour pencil. And for the shaker thing, i enjoyed doing it. Added some red punched hearts to it, it looks lovely, isnt it.  For the stopper i have added a wooden heart from a clothesline clip.

Card as an easel

Card as a photo frame

I added a thin threaded lace to the back to make a small hanging, now it can be used as a photo frame too (dint know where to hang the card, so hung it to the lamp switch for the photo). 

Hope u liked my card, n i once again thank my blog friends for their appreciation & support. 

PS. Am super happy, jus now saw the result for Catchy challenge, n am a winner for my sunburst layout. yaaaaayyy

Hugs,

Sujana
