PTI April Blog Hop

Morning everybody,

Time for another PTI blog hop. This month's theme is

Boys To Men
This month's blog hop is dedicated to all the boys and men in our lives!  Now's your chance to create Father's Day projects, boy birthday cards and more to build up your stash!  Focus on masculine color
schemes, fresh pattern combinations, understated embellishments and unique uses of images you may
already have in your stash!

Yes! I was thrilled to see the masculine theme. Making masculine cards is always a challenge for me. So I love it whenever the opportunity arrives. Here are a couple of Masculine themed projects I had made for the blog hop.

First up is a frame for my son's desk using some masculine stamp sets and papers I have in my stash.

Pattern papers from Webster Pages, stamps from Papertrey Ink, Stampin' Up!, Inkadinkado and Kaisercraft. Twine from Twinery, stickers from Echo Park Me Mine stickers.

Next up! is a Card

Cardstocks, pattern paper, lunch box die,postmark and sentiment stamps are from Papertrey Ink, Black and White Striped pattern paper is from Crate Paper, Circle stamp is from Inkadinkado, clef die is from MTF.

Hope you enjoyed all my projects. Now I am off to see other inspirations and take notes :)

Happy Hopping!

Embellish Challenge - Crochet Trim Color Trends

Hi everybody,
Well, I am still alive and kicking lol! Life has just taken over. Parents, in-laws coming tomorrow, my mom's 60th birthday tomorrow, kids having school holidays and I am contantly on the run. No time for craft and to blog. But this afternoon, my friend and neighbour offered to take my kids along with hers to movies to see "HOP". So I quickly managed to make a card for Embellish Crochet Trim Color Trends Challenge.
Here is  the challenge's inspirational photo for you.

Here is my take on the challenge.

I have used cardstocks, Love Lives Here stamp set and dies, satin ribbon from Papertrey Ink, Pattern papers from Crate Paper and Pink Paislee, doilie die from MFT, crochet trim and rhinestone from Kaisercraft and finally inks from Stampin' Up!

Love the color combination. By myself I don't think I will combine these colors. Colors on the photo are not the exact match to whats on the card. Lighting is not very good in my room at this moment. Sorry about that! I am restricted by time.  If I have time I will try and take another photo tomorrow and replace this one.

Thanks for the challenge. Have a great Easter :)

Luv!

Tuesday Trigger Porch Play!

Hi everybody! Two cards to share today. I made them for Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger Porch Play Challenge. Here is the inspirational photo for this week

I so love the mirror frame and I wanted that as a focal point on my card. And the colors are truly gorgeous. I love the bright red, beautiful teal and a little splash of yellow. So country style! 

Here are my cards based on the inspirational photo.

As said, I have kept the mirror frame as my focal point. As I picked up the papers and embellishments for the challenge, I loved two pattern papers fromWebster Pages and so I wanted to make two cards. Love how they turned out.

Cardstocks, sentiment satmp from Papertrey Ink, pattern papers from Webster Pages and Pink Paislee, sticker trim, flowers and leaves from Prima Marketing, lace trim, red flower, rhinestones, chandlier and mirror frame stamp from Kaisercraft,  red satin ribbon and punch from Stampin' Up!, green velvet ribboon from K & Co, silhouette stamp from Hero Arts and Tim Holtz's Frayed Burlap distress ink

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend :)

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!

Luv!

Happily ever after.....

This is a seond post for today. I have a share I made for two challenges. 

They are CR84FN23 and Waltzingmouse sketch challenge # 42

Here is my take on both the challenges

After doing a lot of layering on my cards, I decided I want to do a simple and clean card. So this is a CAS card for me. I used Kaisercraft's pattern paper from Chanteuse collection, Music and flower stamps from Waltzingmouse Stamps, Sentiment stamps,satin  ribbon and cardstocks from Papertrey Ink.

Loved the sketch and the gorgeous colors from the CR84FN challenge. Thanks for the same :)
