The Triangle Challenge

Hello!

Crafty Milka has a very interesting challenge - the maths challenge & I just about managed to submit my entry! 

To add triangles in my card I used distress inks! Seven triangles here in rainbow colors! To pop up the die cut sentiment (Paper Trey Ink die ) I chose the inlaid die cut technique.

Plaid Background - Birthday Card

Good Morning!

Popping by to share a fun card with a stamped plaid background (Mudra Stamps - Play with lines), inks used - Simon Says Stamp). The adorable sentiment is a Studio G stamp from Itsy Bitsy.

For this card I wanted the background to pop through the bold OMG in the sentiment. For this I heat embossed the stamped sentiment on vellum & colored the letters with the Chameleon pens & overlaid the vellum panel on the plaid background. This not only muted the background but created a faux plaid effect in the letters too! Awesome!

Guest Designer - Crafty Boots Challenge

Good Morning!

Today I am Guest Designing for Crafty Boots Challenge, where the theme is MONOCHROME - you can use any materials you like to make anything you like, for example, a card, a box top, a gift bag, a scrapbook page, or an ATC, an inchie. I chose to make a card in a rather bold combination - black & orange, inspired by my card here. The stamped (Stampendous stamp) zinnia colored with distress inks  is fussy cut & over laid on a card panel, the diagonal background of which is heat embossed. Here is another card using the same stamp in which I used Gansai Tambi watercolors for the zinnia.

Card in a box

Good Morning!

Hope you all like the theme at CSSS#5. I  am particularly loving this pop up theme, because pop up cards fascinated me since I was a child. This is my inspiration.............a pop up card in a box. 

All these blooms are glued on acetate strips on tabs in the inside to make them pop up -

          Well it may seem to be a box but it is like any other card & folds flat & can be sent in a regular envelope. Look this is how - 

Please visit the challenge blog here to view the pretty creations by the rest o the team.

Apron Shaped Card

Hello All!!

I am overwhelmed to have received so much love from you all & thank each & everyone of you for visiting my blog to join my blogoversary celebration. Winner will be announced tomorrow!!!!

 My daughter wanted me to make a card on behalf of the class for her teachers' birthday. Alli Aunty, her teacher (in their school teachers are addressed as Aunty) besides being a good teacher is also an excellent cook so they wanted to gift her an apron & I made a coordinating apron shaped card. So here it is...................

We added an accordion fold insert (forgot to take a pic after gluing it!!!) to accommodate personal wishes of the entire class of 25.
