You are my Home | Shaker Card

Hello lovely people,

I am back to share another card that I have created for the Winnie and Walter 3rd Birthday Celebrations.This time it's a cutesy shaker card. My first one ever..Can you believe it !! I seem to have finally joined the Shaker Cards bandwagon so late!
Well, now that I have that off my chest, here's a look at my card and some details on how I created it .
                                             

For my card, I first blended some Tumbled Glass Distress ink on my card panel on the top and added a few drop of water to bleach out the color from certain areas. Then I die-cut a circle window from it using my Spellbinders Circle dies. I knew I wanted to create a shaker window so I added some ink blending and stamping on an another piece of cardstock which was to be layered below the die cut window. I colored and fussy cut the bird, branch and the house which are from the Winnie & Walter - Happiest of Holidays with Evelin T Designs, In Bloom: Hollie's Festive Florals and Our Town stamp sets respectively and popped it on a foam base on my card panel. Finally stamped my sentiment from the W & W - Happiest of Holidays with Evelin T Designs set on the front panel along with the hearts. I filled my die-cut circle with sequins and adhered a scalloped frame over it and foam mounted this panel onto the stamped panel and glued it to my card base.

I am entering my card in the following Winnie and Walter challenges :

1. Cute Critters Challenge with Gayatri
2. Sequins Challenge with Kate
3. Ink Blending Challenge with Vanessa
4. Three Challenge with Shay (I have used three different stamp sets from Winnie and Walter on this one)

Hope you like my card. Please do drop in your comments I love to hear from you.

Have a nice day everyone :)

A Valentine Birdhouse! :)..

Hi friends,
Today sharing with you all a birdhouse which I have made as an inspiration for Crafter's Corner #  4-"Anything but a Card or Lo "...Please check out my post in the Crafters Corner Blog HERE...And here's a look at what I have made :)

And another view :-

And a close-up of  the sentiment  which I have placed inside the birdhouse :-

                                                     

I have made this birdhouse using a template which I found from Pinterest...And since I do not have any heart die I have hand cut the central heart using an Exacto Knife & paper- pieced the cute little birdie from DCWV Pattern Paper (Itsy Bitsy) ..
This birdhouse was quite easy to make once all the pieces from the template are cut out...The tough part for me was in embellishing it..So many ideas were running through my mind that I could not decide on any particular one..              
Can you see that small heart charm below the bird...Thats recycled from an old keychain I had..Isn't that so pretty..? ;)..And all my leaves are die cut from old wedding cards as I really like the thickness of the papers & the look they give when they are embossed & distressed using inks..!!

HOUSE WARMING

Hi Everyone this time i have posted an envie which i made for my friend who wanted to give it for a special house warming function,she had specified that i incorporate a house in the design so i finally came up with this design.I wanted to create an small house with a garden but am not completely satisfied with my end result,and here i have to mention that a few days ago i had seen kavithas [kalalaya blog] where she had posted a card with quilled bunnies and her grass effect was simply too good i wish i had done half as good as her.Any ways just want to add that i have used punched flowers and butterfly to complete the garden effect.And the blue lace on top is my representation of a blue sky.
