Back to my crafty place

Hello crafty people,

Lets see....its been more than 10 months since I last posted on this blog....WOAH!!!
A lot of things happened in those 10 months...which kept me away from craft supplies...

I have been trying to find my way back to crafting for a month now...I think I am finally there...
And I thought what would be a better time than during a Coffee Lovers BlogHop...the biggest bloghop of the craft world...

With this card, I brought together all of my favorite things...Doodling, Coffee and Cardmaking 😇

Like many of you out there, I am also guilty of hoarding beautiful pattern papers....but I have made up my mind that I will buy new pattern papers only after I have exhausted the ones in my stash 😲...and that is a lot...
So I busted out some pretty papers to boost the look of my cute coffee doodles and quotes...

A cup of sunshine...a hug in a mug...to keep you warm this winter :)

More Love & Hope

Hello everyone,

This is my last week with the Daring Cardmakers...atleast for a while ;)
I have a few family commitments that I need to attend to...which will keep me very very busy...so I have decided to take a break from my DT position here...

The challenge this week is to think of what you want more of in 2017 and incorporate it in your card...

I think the world needs more love and hope...so I made a card incorporating the these elements...

I have had a great great time in Daring Cardmakers DT...I have loved making cards for the innovative challenges each weak...
Thanks for everything Kathy and team :)

Heart in Stitches

Hello everyone,


The dare at Daring Cardmakers this week is to feature stitching on your cards as a real eye-catching element...
So many ways to incorporate stitching on your cards...like sewing a simple stitch...or something fancy with your sewing machine...then there are all the awesome stitching-themed dies and stamps...

I went with this 49 & Market line-stitch stamp...
I loved this stamp set as soon as I laid my eyes on it...and bought it soon after...but did not get a chance to use it...
So when I saw the challenge this week...I knew this is what I was gonna use...and also that I was gonna use the entire stamp set :D
I was excited to use this stamp with my new MISTI...it really is an awesome tool...especially for someone as impatient and careless as me... ;)

Punch Cutout Pattern

Hello everyone,

Its Friday which means its time for a new challenge at Daring Cardmakers...
The challenge this week is "New"
With start of the new year try something new...a new technique, a new fold, a new colour combination...the options are endless....

I tried something really different...I made a pattern using cut-outs of some punched negatives...
Sounds complex...doesn't it...hehehe

I had a sheet or two of white cardstock with snowflakes punched out of them...which I used to make this and this card...

Then a few days ago, I got this idea to cut hexagon shapes around the punched negatives...

My favourite part was making the pattern...it was solving a puzzle...and I love puzzles and patterns...

Snowflake Wreath

Hello everyone,

A HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone :D

Daring Cardmakers is back after a short break and this week we have a beautiful winter-themed inspiration photo for you...

The elements I picked are the wreath, the green leaves and the word Snow...
