SuperGirl Cards | Guest Post for CrafTangles

Hi friends !
Hope you all are doing well.

I'm guest designing today at CrafTangles official blog (blog.hndmd.in) and I made three cards featuring their
SuperGirl stamp and co-ordinated die set.

I’m very impressed with their amazing and detailed designs. And the co-ordinated dies fit perfectly well with their respective images and give a clean cut with a perfect edge. It’s for the first time an Indian craft manufacturing company has come up with a stamp and co-ordinated die set. They also have a Super Boy stamp set and die as well as patterned papers in the same theme too.

Here’s my first card:-

The image was stamped using versafine onyx black ink on Iris Sg card stock and coloured using Faber Castell watercolour pencils. It was then die cut using the co-ordinating die. I wanted to keep this card very CAS and I’m happy with the way those colours look against the light grey background. Sometimes, substituting a white card stock with some other neutral colours adds an interesting appeal to the whole look and at the same time, keeps the card clean and simple.

Second one:-

I started by drawing a cloud on a scratch piece of paper and fussy cut it to use it as a mask for sponging distress ink. That skyline die is from Sizzix and I stenciled some distress ink over it to add some interesting texture. This super girl image is the second one from the same stamp set and it was also coloured using Faber Castell watercolour pencils. It was die cut using the coordinating die and then popped up on the prepared scene using double sided foam tape.

Third One:-

This one’s my first attempt at making a pop-up card.  I have kept it quite simple. I stamped the ‘bang’ on the outside of the card in versamark watermark ink and silver embossed it. I die a cut a few stars from a Sizzix framelits Star die set using golden and silver glitter paper and mounted these using 3D foam tape. Added a few star-shaped sequins here and there. Have a look at the picture below to see how it looks on the inside :-

I've also shared a small video clip to help you see better how the pop-up card looks like on opening up:-

I had a great time making these cards. Hope you liked these!

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 !!

 

Birthday wishes

Hi friends,

A quick post to share a card I made for color conceptions challenge- stamping techniques. Here's the card:

The technique I used here is layered stamping alongwith acrylic block stamping.
To be honest, I'm not very happy with the way it has turned out and I think it could have been better. What do you think?

Thanks for your encouraging comments always. :) Will be back with a new card very soon. Until then, have a fabulous day!!

Follow your dream !

Hello everyone,
 I'm sharing a card I made inspired by the picture from Runway Inspired Challenge 48- Antonio Marras. Here are the pics-

I had this concept in mind since a long time, but wasn't having the right stamps. Now after I got them,I'm happy to execute my ideas :)  Firstly, I cut a window through the main card base with the help of a craft knife. Then, attached another peice of card stock of a suitable size at the back with the help of foam strips. The background is stamped using black memento ink and BG stamp from prima marketing. The butterflies were punched from black and while card stocks and coloured using memento ink. I have coloured one butterfly 'out of the window' and in green to express the idea of one butterfly moving away from the crowd 'going in the direction of its dream'. :) The sentiment is from fiskars-'all aroud quotes' stamps. This is the first time I have stamped and loved the results. 

Would love to hear what you think about this. :)

Have a fabulous day!!
