CAS(E) this Sketch!

Hiya everybody,

This new sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch comes from N@ Ali.

This is how I interpreted this sketch.

I love this style of card making. Layering pattern papers and embellishments. Looks messy yet beautiful. All the products I have used are from the new Studio Calico Printshop Collection. I love this collection. Great colours, patterns and embellishment in this collection. They are all available at the Studio Calico shop to purchase.

Check out CAS(E) this Sketch Blog for inspirations from more DTs and GDT as well :)

Congratulations Card!

Hello everybody,

Sharing with you a card I made for a request by a lady at my children's music school. She wanted a wedding card with seahorse on it! What? After a conversation as to what she wants a card for and what theme? She wanted a beachy wedding card. Ok! I don't have beachy wedding stamp set especially with a seahorse on it. Lol! I told her I will make a beachy wedding card for her. She agreed to it. Here it is.

I took the long brush stroke stamp from PTI's Watercolour Wonder stamp set and stamped the background with the pale blue ink. I then die cut the frame and bow from brushed gold card stock. The silhouettes from pattern papers and then the seashells die cut using while cardstock. Layered them and added a pearl at the center of the bow. I stamped the big bold congratulations from Uniko Studio in grey ink. I like how my card turned out. It has beachy feel to it. But no overtly full of beachy images. What do you think? The lady will like it?

I will know in couple of hours. Hope she does!

The silhouettes, frame, bows are die cut using dies from Papertrey Ink. Seashells die is from My Favorite Things. Congratulations sentiment is from Uniko Studio.

Thanks for visiting!

Uniko Studio Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to Uniko Studio Blog Hop!

If you are coming from Erika's Blog then you are on the right track.

For this hop we are choosing our favourite stamp set from Uniko Studio.

 My favourite stamp set is Pure Floral: Poinsettia. 

Here are my projects using Pure Florals: Poinsettia.

I made tags this time using the gorgeous Poinsettia. 

 I heat embossed the Poinsettia on a pattern paper using red zing embossing. I then brushed a thin layer of gesso to make the surface non porous. Then used red gelato to colour the Poinsettia. Using a red Big Brush pen I added shading. Also did the same with white gel pen.I also sprayed some perfect pearls on the Poinsettia to add some shimmer. I cut out the flowers added pearls and sequins at the center. Mounted the Poinsettia on the baubble tag and sentiment on an arrow die cut. I made three of each. here they are. 

Your next hop is to Nicki's Blog to see her gorgeous card.

Moxie Fab World Thanks

Welcome to Moxie Fab World Thanks Blog Hop!

You should have made your way here from Clare Buswell's Blog. If not it is OK you can find the entire list of participants for this Blog Hop at Moxie Fab World Blog.

Well this hop came about when we all heard about Cath of Moxie Fab World leaving Papercraft and therefore Moxie Fab World. It was a shock to me and just couldn't believe it for a while. I went through all the stages of grief. Cath and her work at Moxie Fab World has been a great inspiration for me ever since I found the blog a few years ago. And as all the designers started talking about it on facebook, Keren Baker came up with this idea of doing a blog hop for Cath. Very soon there were so many designers joining the hop that I think it is the biggest blog hop I have known. That show the love we have for Cath.

I like to make a toast to thank Cath for the best times at Moxie Fab World. So here is my card for Cath. For the best times!

I went for a trendy freestyle card for Cath because I love the trend talk post. 

Here is a closeup of the card.

 Thank you so much Cath for the inspirations you have given through Moxie Fab World. You are Moxie Fab to me always:) All the best for your future. 

Now your next hop stop is to Laurel Seabrook's Blog.

 I am sure you will need a cuppa and probably few days to get through all the blogs. 

Have a great day hopping.

Snow Much Joy!

Remember I showed you those snowman cut outs on my facebook? Well, here is what I have done with a few of them. Another set of Christmas cards.

I have used Making Frosty Friends Stamp set from Lawn Fawn, Snow Much Joy Stamp set from Hero Arts, Snowflakes Impression Plate from Papertrey Ink to make my card. Love the clean and simple card with texture, colour, sparkle and dimension.

 Later in the day we have the biggest blog hop for a special person.
