One Stamp Three Ways | Lulupu Post

Hey friends !!

How are you all doing ? If I tell about myself, I'm doing great, monsoon has just kicked in at my side of the country and that means pleasant weather, cool breeze, rains, colourful umbrellas, hot coffee, books, lazy weekends and more crafting !! ;) Sounds great, isn't it ?  Well, after a spell of drought here, rains are much needed and hugely welcome this year. Happy to see them arrive , finally !

So, a couple of days ago, I shared three cards on the Lulupu Blog I made using the Cutie Tweety stamp set I received in my Lulupu DT kit, and my term ends this month it was my last post as a design team member there. Had a good time there, made many never-tried-before projects and learnt so much.

Sharing the cards here now :-

3D Baby Carriage With a Mini Tag Album | Lulupu Post

Hi friends,

A couple of days ago, I shared a new project for this month's baby-themed challenge on the Lulupu blog- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. About this challenge, this month we are challenging you to create anything- a card, layout, altered item, 3D project, etc. that is baby-themed and it must have prominent Stars on it. You can view all the challenge details HERE.

So, for this, I made this 3D baby carriage along with a mini tag album using the patterned papers from Papericious- Little star collection:-

I have shared the step-by-step pictures along with a tutorial on how I made the baby carriage. Just for the starters, I haven't used any dies to make it and it's made from the scratch using a discarded cereal box. And it's quite easy too.

National Scrapbooking Day | Sizzix News

Hello, friends !

It's first Saturday of May and this day is observed as the National Scrapbooking Day all around the US. So,  if you would like to get some scrapbooking inspiration, there's a quick video up on the Sizzix UK website, showing how to make a holiday scrapbook layout.

***Click here to check out this lovely video ***

Talking about scrapbooking, I'm reminded of a couple of scrapbook layouts that I made as my DT inspiration at Lulupu blog but forgot to share here. So, doing that now :P

The above layout was made for the March challenge which was based on a birthday theme. So, I scrapped a 4th birthday picture of my daughter. :) 

You can find the step-by-step pictorial of how I made this HERE.

And here's the second one:

As you might have already guessed, this one above is a school-themed layout and the step-by-step pictures of making it could be found HERE. 

That's all from my side today.  Will be back soon with something new .

Have a fun weekend !

One Stamp, More Ways

Heyy dear friends !

Hope this post finds you in good health and spirits.

This is my second post as a DT at Lulupu-the craft lounge and today I would be sharing just the sneak peeks of a few more cards I made using the Micia clear stamp set that I had used for making my previous card HERE. Although one card was just enough and required for my this month's inspiration post, I just couldn't resist making more using that stamp set.  It is really so versatile, ideas kept coming to me while making them..so couldn't stop at one. :)

For the whole deal, you'll need to hop over to the Lulupu blog HERE. And I would love to receive your feedback there. :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great week !!

 

2-0-1-6 Recipe Challenge | Lulupu Design Team

Greetings everyone!!

 Sharing my first post as a Design team member at Lulupu for the January challenge#57, which is a recipe challenge. You can find the details of the 2-0-1-6 Recipe challenge HERE .
For the general guidelines to enter a Lulupu Challenge, please read HERE.

I made an interactive Double-slider card for this challenge. And the recipe I’ve used is:-

2—stamp sets

0--- die cuts/flowers

1---- washi tape

6----Patterned papers

 Sharing a few pictures of the card :-

Front view--Closed card

Do you know what's the most interesting part about this kind of card? Well, if you haven't guessed yet, the interesting part s that on pulling out the upper tab, lower one comes out on it's own and on pulling out the right hand side tab, the left one peeks out ;) Same is the case on inserting the tabs back inside. (Scroll right down to check out the video below to get a clear idea)

On pulling out the upper tab

I received this super cute Micia stamp set-Floral invitation and two Washi Tapes in my DT kit. I’ve used those cutie baby images along with the sentiment ‘you are beautiful’from this stamp set. Another stamp set I’ve used is the My Favorite Things-penguins in paradise, for the sentiment’ You make my heart melt’.


The patterned papers are from the Webster pages collection.

On pulling out the right-hand side flap

Those colourful little hearts are made out of some felt fabric from my stash.
It’s a love-themed card and I wanted to give it a personal touch. So I designed the left sided flap in such a way that the giver can add a favorite picture of them and write a little handwritten personal note on the tag inside.
The lovely washi tape just adds on to the whole design.

Sponged the corner with some distress ink and sprinked some water to get that lovely texture. That bigger heart was cut out from a patterned paper and clear embossed to get that glossy finish.

Card completely opened-up

I like that quote, "Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite." Wrote that using my calligraphy pen.

The images in this Micia stamp set-Floral invitation are just perfect to make love-themed cards, cards for kids or even invitation cards. (More on that in my next post)

The pictures cannot explain the actual mechanism of this interactive card, so I’m sharing a very short video so that you get an idea about how it actually works.

I love making cards that have some story to tell. And I've attempted to do the same with this one. I’m quite happy with the way it has turned out. Would love to hear your views .

Looking forward to see what you come up with. Link up your entries HERE.

Happy Crafting!
