More Post-it-notes

Hello..

Have you noticed my new blog design..

I promised in my last post that I will share the projects I am currently working on..

So here I am back with some new Post-it-Notes Fridge Magnets..

But before I move on to today's project I will answer some questions..

I often get a lot of questions about how do I make my projects..what is the process behind creating my designs...etc.. etc.. 

& the truth is.. There is no fixed process..

I go with the flow...

I gather things I would like to use... 

( If I have some new supplies then 99% chances are that I will use them :)  )

Then I try to arrange them... mix & match... maybe add something else to add interest.. like pearls, rhinestones, ribbons, flowers etc..& experiment till I am satisfied & then I glue them up..

Simple.. :)

The only thing to keep in mind is that you have to experiment & sometimes take some risks to come up with a great idea & design...

Now lets move on to Post-it-Notes...

After searching so many places I finally got my hands on Kraft CS..

& I LOVE it..  :)

And I want to use it in all my projects...

And that is the reason behind my last 2 cards being Kraft based.. hehehe..

I also got vintage Photo & have been using it like crazy.. :)

 So when I sat down to make these beauties.. these 2 things were the first things I took..

I also got some pretty PPs (from FMI, A5) & a variety of leaves recently..

So.. I started working & came up with these..

I didn't want to cover the beautiful designs so I just inked the edges with Vintage Photo & added some pearls, rhinestones, holographic glitter glue to most of them..

The 4 post-its in the 1st photo had white spaces on the top where I added some paper roses & leaves..

The springy thing was made with the leftover stems of the roses..

They look much more prettier in person..

All of the above are made from a single sheet of A5 PP.. !!!

I made all of these in a matter of few hours.. Fast na.. :)
There are more designs of Post-it-notes but will share them in my next post..

ICRC29

Hello..

New month comes with a brand new challenge at INDIAN CRAFT ROOM

Here is the Challenge for the month of May

ICRC29 – Card with Elements and a “Theme” Twist

You have to use atleast 3 ELEMENTS on your card which you will find on our DT Blogs.

You can use more than 3 elements if you like..

So that means you will have to visit each of the 5 DT Blogs to find all the elements..

& then you have to visit the ICR Blog for the TWIST..

My element is: 

Ribbon!  

& here is my card...

For this card I have used Kraft base.

The top panel was stamped with sheet music stamp & the embossed with my new Couture Creations- Trellis embossing folder..

The swirly & flowery design adds a very feminine touch to the card & goes well with the butterfly..

Then I inked the whole panel with Vintage Photo & adhered it to the card base with foam tape to give it some dimension..

Next I stamped the butterfly & distressed it with Mowed Lawn & Vitage Photo..

Then I fussy cut it added some black pearls to the center & adhered it to the card..

I added some ribbon & rhinestones for the finishing touch...

Be sure to list the three elements that you've used, when posting your cards.

Now hop on to find all the ELEMENTS & the TWIST
