GD post at PCM Challenges

Hello Everyone

Today I am really honoured to be at the Parus Card Making Challenge. I received a Special Mention for the August Challenge. It is an awesome platform to display your creativity with the fun themes every Month. The September Challenge is on with the theme of Anything Goes.


I have created a card with Craftyscrappers 'Buzzing by to say hi ' stamp set. 
Firstly I created the background with Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seeds and Dried Marigold distress inks. Stamped the bee, colored it with markers, fussy cut and adhered it with foam tape. Used a die cut sentiment with glossy accent and Heat embossed the sub sentiment on black cardstock and lastly added some enamel dots.

Have a look

Thanks Card


Hello Everyone
Today I am here with another card full of colors and full of life.

I used Heidi swapp stencil (any stencil will do) which has the shape of diamonds in a designer way.
I masked the stencil around each diamond and used light and dark shades of the same color of distress inks to blend. 
To avoid smudging I chose to do alternate diamonds.
Adhered the die cut sentiment which is highlighted with glossy accent and a sub sentiment to thank the friends for helping me out during my pregnancy.


Have a look at it.



Thanks & Regards

Bee- utiful Card

Hello Everyone..

Today I am here to with a card which is for the  "TO BEE OR NOT TO BEE BLOG HOP"

For creating this card,
I used the distress inks to prepare the background.
Used the Craftyscrappers stamp set for the bee and the hive and fussy cut it.
For the sentiment I used versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
To enhance the look I decided to make it a shaker card . So I cut the border and placed it on foam with an acetate sheet to create the elevation. I used enamel dots here and there on the card to finish it.

Take a look at the card here

A Birthday Hanging Decor

Hello everyone!

Greetings from Sharda Maheshwari!

I am back after a long long break. During the break I was wondering why the use of beautiful stamp sets is limited to cards or layouts only, why not create something new out of the stamp sets..

So here i am with my creation: A Hanging for birthday decorations


I chose Chevron-Birthday-Balloon for my project.
Let me show you how it looks first and then the tutorial for same..


Here is the video for the same







TUTORIAL 

1. I took a Chevron paper from my stash and cut out balloons from them. I folded the sheet into half to get proper shape of balloons.




2. In the same manner hand cut balloons from two shades of blue plain paper too to add little variation.





3. Draw clouds ( as the cloud from piggy stamp was small in size and I wanted to stamp a sentiment in it). Distress the edges using mermaid lagoon distress ink and stamped the ' Happy Birthday' sentiment from Let's Party stamp set..





4. Stamped the party cap from the same stamp set and fussy cut.




5. For holding took 2 saute sticks, wrapped them in blue paper Dori and stuck them diagonally..



6. Stamped the blue plain balloons with different sentiments from the same stamp sets on opposite sides. Then assembled the balloons by scoring them in half and sticking 4 pieces back to back.. left one side open to put the string in...



7. Lastly arranged all pieces in alternate style. All the pieces are backed with the mirror image of it so that it's 2D.




8. Finally made a loop for hanging and put some beads n flowers from my stash to give it the finnese.
