Up Up & Away

Hello crafters,

The theme this week is Travel...

I have used some drawing...some distress inks...some lettering and a pattern paper to make my card...

I am entering this card in the following challenge -
Virginia's View Challenge

Coffee Shaker Card

Time for another card for the Summer Coffee Lover's Hop,

Yeah...yeah...I am still hooked to the black cardstock and Sakura moonlight pens combo... :P

But...I made a shaker card this time...Shake...shake...shake...

I cut out a coffee mug shape with a kraft knife...for the card front....
Stamped with Archival Ink for some tone on tone stamping using Stamplorations Bold Sentiments (I know....black on black doesnot sound like a good idea...but I wanted to add a subtle detail as I wanted the bright doodles to be the focus...)

Added some clear sequins for the shaker element... 

I have been hoarding these sequins for 2 years now...finally...used them...phew...

I made a card with cutout of the mug too...do come back to see what I made with it...
Will be posting it soon


I am entering this card in Virgnia's View Challenge where the theme is Colourful

Tic Tac Toe

Hello everyone,

At Daring Cardmakers, the dare this week is a Fun and Games theme...

You have to make a card that includes some kind of puzzle or game element it could be a crossword or a wordsearch or spot the difference etc. You could come up with something more hands on like maybe a maze puzzle or a flip book

I went with the simple Tic-Tac-Toe...

I have used burlap paper and jute twine for making the O, X and the heart...

I decided to incorporate the sentiment in the grid itself...I L U :)

Geometry on my mind

Hello everyone,

I am extending my GD stint at Daring Cardmakers for another month...Hurray! :D
The dare this month is to use at least three elements from this picture on your card

Isn't this picture fabulous...I am loving the colour theme...
I have chosen the colours, mint triangles and metallic criss-cross lines...to create a geometric pattern on my card...
Also the pattern paper has leaves...

And here goes my pathetic attempt to capture the shine of the golden marker...lol...

I have used Bielo cardstock from TheCraftShop, pattern paper from Itsy Bitsy and sentiment sticker and Pilot Gold paint marker from a local craft shop

Anniversary Box Card

Hello everyone,

It is my last week as GD for Daring Cardmakers...and it is surely the best dare of the month...
It brought me back to my love of interactive/fancy fold cards...

The dare this month is to create a Box Card...Yay!
I made a box card for my parent's anniversary...

I added my parent's intials on the side flaps...

         

I used die-cuts, chipboards from my stash...
I have used paper from the Papericious Woodgrain collection as the base of my card...
I love how sturdy their paper is...I was able to create the box card without using any other cardstock as base...

And finally...this is how the card looks when closed...
