Hello friends & welcome to Heartfelt Wednesday...

I have made a clean & simple card for today's inspiration post using Winking Frog Collection...

Blowing Butterflies and Bubble Background

Hello friends...

& welcome to So Suzy Stamps inspiration
I have made today's card using the beautiful Blowing Butterflies & Fluff Your Tutu stamp sets
I also have a pictorial for making the fun background so read till the end...

Who doesn't love to play with bubbles.... I sure do & when it results in such beautiful background then it's even more fun... Here is the step-by-step instructions of how to make it :

• You will need a bowl, straw, dish-washing liquid, water, watercolor paper and colors of your choice... I have used yellow & reds for my background.
• Pour a little dish-washing liquid & water in a bowl, add few drops of colors and mix with the straw ( if using same color family then I like to start with the lightest color ).
• Now the fun part starts... start blowing bubbles in the bowl with the help of straw.

• Now take your watercolor paper & touch it to the bubbles & remove... The bubbles with burst leaving behind the beautiful pattern.
• Repeat this process as many times as you like to build up your background.

• Add more colors ( in the above picture I added red color ) & repeat the process of blowing bubbles & touching watercolor paper to the colorful bubbles.

• To create my card I stamped the Blowing Butterflies stamp on my background & colored in the butterflies.
• Then I die cut the  bottom part & adhered it to the card front.

• I used the remaining part of the die cut to embellish the inside of my card... The background was too pretty to throw away :P
• I also stamped Fluff Your Tutu stamp inside to finish my card.

I would love to see how you use this tutorial to create your own backgrounds....

Hello Friends...

Welcome to Inspired by Stamping inspiration post... Hope you all are  doing well...

Today I am revisiting one of my favorite stamp set by Inspired by Stamping Words of Inspiration
As the name suggests this set has some great inspirational quotes...

For today's card I started with making the stenciled background. I inked it very lightly so that the color is darkest at the center & fades out at the edges for a soft background. Next I added some black paint splatters with my brush on the stenciled background.

For my sentiment I die cut a white circle, a gold circle & a black circle. I stamped my sentiment from Words of Inspiration stamp set with watermark ink on the black circle & heat embossed it using my white embossing powder. Next I stacked all the 3 circles  as shown & adhered it to the card front.

I hope you like my card... thank you so much for visiting today... Have a great weekend :)

Just Fluff Your Tutu

Hello friends & welcome to So Suzy Inspiration Post...

I am loving this new June release by So Suzy 

So many encouraging sentiments... beautiful fairies & fairy dust... butterflies... snarky sentiments...

I have made today's card with the sentiment in focus...

We all need a little dose of encouragement & I love this one...

To make the card I started out with the border die & cut out 2 borders to frame my sentiment.

I saved the middle part of the die cut to stamp my sentiment on.

I also embossed a 4" x 5 1/4" white cardstock with my embossing folder.

Next I used Vesamark ink to stamp Fluff Your Tutu stamp & heat embossed it using Liquid Platinum Embossing powder

Now its time to assemble the card. 

I used foam adhesive to adhere the embossed background on my A2 card front.

Then I glued down the sentiment panel on the embossed background.

To create the border I gently curved the border die cuts with the back of a paint brush & adhered the edges down as shown

For the final touch I added some pearls to the border.

 Here are few close ups of my card...

I hope you like my card for today... Thank you for visiting :)

Hello friends,

Welcome to Heartfelt Creations inspiration post...

Sorry for the delay in posting this weeks card... We are in the middle of shifting to a new place so all my time these days goes in packing our stuff ... & when I get a little time from that I craft...

 My craft room is almost packed... except for some bare essentials for my current project...

I will be scheduling most of my June posts as I won't have internet access for few days till we get the internet connected.

So enough of my blabbering... Lets move on to my card for today...

I made a cute shaker card with the porthole stamp from Under the Sea Collection

I love shaker cards... maybe I should start making them more... what do you think...?

I love Everything About You

Hello friends...

Hope you all are  doing well...

I have a clean & simple card to share today...

Recently I got some new stencils & I can't seem to get enough of them... specially the one I used today...

 I made a love card but skipped the traditional red & pink colors to make it more masculine,,,

 I started with 3 white 2"x2" cardstock squares... I inked 2 of them using my stencil & inks & stamped my sentiment from My Valentine stamp set on the 3rd one.

Then I proceeded to mount them on slightly larger black & white cardstocks.

I used an embossing folder to emboss the background & then arranged & adhered everything down on an A2 card base.

I added few rhinestones for the much needed bling in this simple card.

I hope you like my card... thank you so much for visiting today... Have a great weekend :)

My Valentine
