MIM # 62

Hello everybody,

Gosh! good to be back home. But that means a lot work! Yes, today has been crazy. had to bring Charlie my puppy from Pet Motel, he has diarrohoea. Looks like he missed us a lot. Moreover, our town had thunderstorm yesterday and he did not cope well with other dogs barking. Then lots of washings, shopping for groceries, taking kids to music lessons and on the top of all this, I also had house inspection! So massive cleaning.  All done and dusted now. Have a headache now but atleast all work is done and Charlie is much better.

I had making cards for MIM #62, on my list to do for today. That was one of the reasons why I finished all my other jobs quickly and systematically. Time Mamagement aha! I found some time this afternoon to make my Make It Monday Challenge #62 - Step It Up, Layering. Check it out, Betsy has loads of information in the video. Will definitely be useful.

I picked this sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping blog because I could not play this sketch and it is one of my favourite sketch. I used this sketch as the base for my take on MIM.

Here is my take on the challenge.
 This is the first one layer card.

Here is the second card where I added couple of layers.

The final card where I have added more layers and embellishments :)

Here are all the three cards together

I wanted to keep it Clean and Simple yet steping up layers. I think I have achieved it :)
I throughly enjoyed playing this challenge :) Thanks you so much for the challenge and also stopping by! See you soon.

MIM #46

Hello, Merry christmas everybody. Hope you are enjoying Christmas with family and friends?

I have couple of tags I made today for MIM #46. Here they are:

I want couple of birthday cards and tags for 4 year old twins birthday party on Monday. I made the tags first and cards to be made tomorrow. I will share the cards later.

Weather cooled down today. Max of 31 degrees C. 10 degrees less than yesterday. Loved the change. Tomorrow will be only 28 degree C. No rain but very happy about the cool change.

Thanks for stopping by! See you all tomorrow :)

MIM #45

Hey everybody, 

One more day until holidays starts Yay! I watched PTI's MIM video today and made a card for Make It Monday #45.

This technique is very cool. Colouring using copics on embossed images:)

Here is the link to the video by Lisa Johnson.

And here is my take on the technique.

I used Four of a Kind stamp set from Papertrey Ink and embossed the image using white embossing powder. Then coloured with copics and also did some shading. The sentiment tag is a printable from Papertrey Ink released during the anniversay celebrations. Here is the link to the printable tags.

This is a very cool way of adding colour and texture to a card especially against the dark background. Thanks for sharing the technique, Lisa!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday!

Second post for today. I had sometime to play for this week's Make It Monday challenge at Papertrey Ink. Here is the link to the challenge and video- It is called Layered Background with Sentiment Stamps.

Here is my take on the challenge. I took a modern approach to the technique shown by Betsy.

 I used stamps from PTI's Big Bold Wishes and Inside Out Birthday to stamp the background using half strength grey ink layered with full strength grey for Mums flowers from Year of flowers collection also from Papertrey Ink. I then cut out a colored version of Mums flowers to add a pop of color to the monochromatic background. Rhinestones for bling.  Love how it turned out. Hope you like it too :)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Wednesday :)

Creating background

 with multiple stamps is this week's challenge at Papertrey Ink Make It Monday.

Here is a link to the challenge and video.

Here is my take on the challenge. I created my background using  PTI's Daydreamer, Flower Fusion #8 and Butterfly Dreamsstamp set.

I loved combing bright and cheerful colors. Hope you like it too.

Tomorrow evening  my son is playing guitar (classical) and I need to wear something formal. I am so confused and don't know what to wear.  I have a few options. Hoping to wear them and see how they look on me before I decide which one I go with. Got to go now.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Luv!

Birthday card for tween!!!

My DS has his friend's birthday party this Saturday and this gave me chance to make a birthday card for a tween boy. I also got a chance to use PTI's Make it Monday technique challenges on the card. Here is my card.

I have used cardstock, ink and brads from Stampin' Up!, pattern apper from Basic Grey and Bo Bunny, Stamps and dies from Papertrey Ink and lace trim from Kaisercraft.

I also used Make It Monday techniques of  sponging using die negatives, distressing, inking the edges all in one :)

I love how the card turned out. Gorgeous colors and distressing. Hope the boy likes it. My son loved it and is sure his friend will like it too :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Impression Plate Tricks #1

Wow! I managed to make a card for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday-Impression Plate Trick #1.I had just half an hour in the evening. I sat down to make a card using one of the challenge sketches for this week but ended up making this card for Make it Monday! Here is my take on the challenge:

I have used PTI's edger die and then the music impression plate to give some texture. Then very lightly rubbed Tim Holtz's distressed ink over it and more on the edges of the card base. On the top 3/4 of the card, I stamped PTI's Mums stamp and leaves. I then layered with Kaisercraft lace, Prima ribbon, floss and Prima flower. Sentiment is also from Papertrey Ink.

The card came together quickly. Love this card. One of my favourite. Hope you like it too :)

Got to make dinner now. Have a great evening!

luv!

Distressed edges

Hi everybody,

My mom and dad are here with me. So nice catching up with them and having them at home. Noise level is high but its one of the nice kind of high noise level :) All of us talk at the same time and therefore its loud lol! Kids are also having good time with them. So it took about three days to actually finish a card. Shocking isn't it? I just did not have time to craft! Today, my DH has taken them out and so I got some time to finish off my card for this week's Distressing challenge at PTI. Here is my card:

I have used Prima Marketing papers, PTI and SU cardstocks, Stamps from Wplus9, PTI and SU, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, wrinkled ribbon, jute from SU, flower from Prima Marketing and Tim Holtz's Stickles. I love doing layers on my cards now a days. Trying my best at getting distressed and shabby look to my cards. Distressed layers are awesome :)

Thanks for the challenge :) Can't wait to see whats next!

Luv!

Girly You Rock!

Today I have a card share I made for PTI's Make It Monday - Glitter Strip with Scor Tape.

What I did was alternate glitter strip using scor tape with Retro background stamp for the girly background. I have also used white and pink glitter again alternating. I love this background.The Tag #2 is decorated and stamped with sentiment for the focal point. I loved the end result of this card. Simple yet striking.Thanks for the challenge :)

Have a great day!

Luv!

Second card for MIM

I have a second card to share for PTI's Make It Monday - Vellum Strip Challenge. 

I love the larger vellum strip on the bottom which softens the card and I can add more sentiments on it too. I also love this color combination. I got the idea from TV!!! Believe it or not, one afternoon with all the Oprah and Soap Operas running at the background, my eyes caught the dirty blue shirt with green tie and dark brown blazer men wore on these shows. They looked lovely on them. Noted down the color and made use of it on this card :) I added pink color to draw focus on the centre panel of the card.

Had lots of fun doing this card. Can't wait to see whats on his Monday!

Have a great day!

 

Luv!

Make It Monday #2

I have a card today I made for PTI's Make It Monday Challenge - Vellum Sentiment Strip.
