Happy Birthday | Card

Hi, friends!

Sharing another card I made using Mudra stamps. This card took me quite some time to make, even though it looks pretty simple :) That background stamping was a bit tedious to do, but I'm happy with the results. Here's a look at my card :

The border stamp is actually a layered stamp set by Mudra. As you can make out, I have used three different stamps to create the peacock-feathers kinda pattern!

To create this card, I first took an A2 card base and die-cut a frame which was slightly smaller than my base. Then I started creating my stamped border using the Mudra Pattern Builder set. I used the bigger individual stamps  to create my border. I inked the three stamps with different shades of blue and green to get this color.
Once my background was done, I stamped, gold heat embossed, colored and fussy cut some flowers using the Mini Bunch set. These flowers and leaves were then foam mounted.
 I tried to do something new on this card, so I incorporated a braided twine in the middle and stamped my sentiment using the Raksha Bandhan Sketches set and the Brushed sentiments. Finally added some sequins to finish my card.

Linking this card to Stamping Sensations- Anything Goes, Penny Black & more- Anything goes with a stamp, Wow Embossing- Flowers (I have used gold embossing powder for the flowers & leaves), The Crafty Addicts- Anything Goes/Emboss it and House of Cards - I have used twine.

I hope you liked today's card. Looking forward to hearing your views regarding it. Thanks for dropping by!

Have a nice day everyone.

Altered Perfume Box

Hi, crafty friends!

I have an Altered Box to share today made using Papericious papers & Mudra stamps. I have made one after a long time, here's a look at it :

Here's how I went about altering it :

• I first gessoed the entire box so that it could take paint easily.

• I then used the Prima Chalkboard paint - Egg Blue to color my base. I made sure to cover all sides of the box as well as the insides to give it a nice, shabby look.

• I then measured and cut pattern papers from The Gentleman paper pack and distressed the edges of the paper using Hickory Smoke Distress Ink.

• Then, I have die-cut a scalloped border using the Mi Estilo paper pack and I have used this border on all four sides of the box. 

• To embellish the top of the box, I have die-cut a few decorative frames using Spellbinders Dies. I have stamped the sentiment from the Mini Bunch set.

• The flowers & the leaves are stamped & fussy-cut using the Daisy Bloom set. 

• I have also used some die-cut leaves and some glitter flourishes to create my foliage.

• I added a decorative buckle to the box which has been die-cut using a Spellbinder's die. I have added velcro dots on the insides for the closure.

• Added some pearls and a butterfly to complete the overall look.

I'm entering my altered box in the Inky Chicks- 5 or more flowers ( I have used stamped flowers), Crafty Boots- Use a stamp, Love to Scrap - Use 2 of something (Stamped Daisies) and Things to Alter- Anything Goes challenge ( I unfortunately don't have a picture of the perfume box I altered before starting on my project ), SSS- Try to contain yourself (I have upcycled a box).

I hope you like my project. Do leave me your comments/suggestions regarding it. I love hearing from you.

Have a nice day everyone.

Best Wishes | Card

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Collaboration Blog Hop going on between Papericious & Mudra. Here's a look at it :

I have used products from both companies on my card. The grey text pattern paper is from the July 2016 release from Papericious and is called 'Mi Estilo'. I have die-cut a diagonal panel using it. The super bright red flower is a stamp from Mudra called Zinnia which I have colored using 3 shades of Distress inks.
I did some light water-coloring on my card front and added few gold paint splatters using my favorite Heidi Swapp Color Shine Gold Lame Mist. Added some green die-cut leaves using a Cheery Lynn die and few enamel dots to finish off my card. I adhered this card panel to a white A2 card base. The sentiment is from another Mudra set and is called Sophisticated Sentiments.

I'm entering my card in the SSS - Fabulous Florals, Wow  Embossing Powder Challenge - Flowers, The Crafter's Cafe- Flowers and Stampotique Designer Challenge- Text background.

I hope you like my card. Do leave me your comments/suggestions regarding it :)

Have a nice day everyone!

Sneak Peek!

Have a nice day everyone!

Hello !

Hi friends!
I hope you are not bored seeing my cards with Mudra stamps. Today I have my last card to share from my Debut Post. Here's a look at it :

As I had written in my earlier post, this set is my absolute new favorite. This Wild Florals set by Mudra has really caught my eye and I love working with it.

To create this card, I first took an A2 card base in White. I die-cut another card panel which was approximately a quarter inch smaller than my card base. It was die-cut using a Gina Marie die from a watercolored panel I had created earlier. Next, I die-cut another white card panel using my Gina Marie Stitched Rectangles die and created a textured background using embossing paste and a stencil by Winnie & Walter - Do you see what I see.

It was time to now create the focal of my card and I stamped and clear heat embossed the florals from the Mudra Wild Florals set and colored them using various shades of Distress inks. I fussy-cut the images and popped them on my foam tape for some lovely dimension. To finish off, I stamped and hand cut the sentiment which is from the Altenew- Label Love set and added some black paint splatters and sequins.

I really enjoyed creating this card and hope you liked it too. Do leave me your comments/suggestions. I love to hear from you!

I'm entering my card in the following challenges :
Creative with Stamps, Happy Little Stampers- Anything goes with Dies, Wow Embossing Powder Challenge (I have used clear embossing powder for the flowers & leaves) and Uniko Studio -Flowers and Time out Challenges (I was inspired by the white, black and red colours as well as the florals on the pillow)

  

Have a nice day everyone!

On your Special Day

Hi friends!
This is third card I made for my Mudra post. I personally liked this one a lot, here's a look at my card :

Unlike my usual cards, I have not used a white card base here and gone with black. I really like how the flowers pop up against the stark black background.
If you see closely, you can see that I have dry embossed a clock on my card panel. I did that using my Embossing Tan Mats and have used a PaperTrey Ink die for doing so. As I mentioned in my previous post, it's my newest buy and I really love it a lot. It adds such a nice subtle texture to my card.

To make this card, I took a piece of an A4 black cardstock & folded it in half to create to create a top folding card. I die-cut a card front panel using my Gina Marie Stitched dies. I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Botanical Blooms set by Mudra. The inks I have used here are from the Altenew Minis in Red Cosmos & Cool Summer Night. Fussy-cut the flowers and the foliage and arranged them around the embossed area. I added some color coordinated ink spatters on the card front & to finish off,  I used some Pretty Pink Posh sequins to give some sparkle and shine. Finally added the sentiment for my card which is also from a Mudra set.

I'm entering my card in the Virginia's View Challenge, Creative with Stamps, Aud Sentiments and Creatilicious Challenges.

  

                        

I hope you are liking my stamped cards! Do leave in your comments/suggestions. I love hearing from you :)

Have a nice day everyone!

Black & Blue Floral Card

Hello everyone,
I'm back with another card I made for my debut post at Mudra. You may be wondering why I am writing the same introduction once again. Well, if you had checked out my post, you must have seen that I made 4 cards and so I'm sharing them all one by one here :D
So, here's a look at the second card I made!

The stamp set used on my card is designed by a very good friend of mine, Ruchi of Ruchi's Crafeteria and I totally love it so much. It has so many floral images and is such a versatile set to work with. You will see me posting more card using it soon :)

To make this card, I took a piece of white card base measuring 4 1/4 inches by 5 and a 1/2 inches. I also

die-cut a card panel measuring a 1/4 of an inch smaller than my card base. 

Now, for the interesting part - I made that circle background myself by using the left-over die-cut circles from my PTI die that I used on my last card. I popped all of them on foam dots and adhered them on the card panel on equal intervals to create a geometric pattern. I thought it looked quite cool :D
Now for the main focal of my card - I stamped and clear heat embossed flowers & leaves from the Wild Florals set on a watercolor paper. I have used Distress inks to color the flowers and foliage. After the colours dried,  I fussy-cut my images and foam mounted them using double sided foam tape. That wonderful sentiment is by Altenew and I stamped it on a cardstock strip which I lightly colored using Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I then die-cut it using a die from the same Gina Marie set that I used for my card front. I then colored the edges of the card base using the same colour of Distress ink to match with my flowers so that it all ties in together and my card was done :)

I'm entering my card in the STAMPlorations Sketch Challenge, Cards and More- Embossing (I have clear embossed my flowers & leaves), Use Your Stuff - I have used dies on my card, OSAAT - Anything Goes with elements of Nature.

I hope you liked my card. If you did, please do leave me  your comments/suggestions regarding it. I love to hear from you!
