Mixed Media' Celebrate' Card !

Hi friends!
I've been missing from the blogland for nearly 2 months now and I have really missed creating and sharing a lot, but a family emergency took precedence over my crafting commitments, but thankfully things are just settling now, so I'm here with my first post for the Papericious blog. This month Papericious has come up with 2 Premium Paper packs and Embellishment sheets with some really amazing and gorgeous designs. I am focusing on the 'My Golden Garden Collection'. It's a perfect shabby-chic collection and you will love these papers and their designs once you have them in your hand. So here's a look at what I've created! 

I have used the 3D Dome sticker, and the Circular Collage Sheet - Blue Dreams (1 Inch circle) to create a gorgeous epoxy sticker. I have layered the epoxy sticker on the 1.5 Inch- Vintage Time Circular Collage Sheet. Here's a look at what I have created :

I have created a shabby, mixed media card and I'm sharing a tutorial on how I created the card base and the floral embellishment on the Papercicious blog. These papers have some really beautiful flower images and also neutral designs like dots, hearts and my very favorite, chevrons and it's quite easy to paper piece the images to create any project.

I'm entering my card into the SSS Wednesday challenge (I have used a Prima Marketing Doily die as well as Cheery Lynn Sophie's heart Mini doily die).

After I finished my card, I went ahead and created a mixed media tag too using The Vintage Attire- Labels embellishment sheet and My Golden Garden paper collection. 

                         

Hope you like my projects..Would love to hear your views on it. :)

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..!!
