Blog Hop @ Jane's Doodles

Hi there,

I am back to crafting after a long break (5 weeks). I was with my son in Seattle. We had fantastic time together and have to admit, I did not miss crafting....:P ! It still feels so surreal.

Now back to reality! I am sharing few projects which are part of a blog hop @ jane's doodles. We are releasing three stamps sets which you all are gonna love.

                  Bless Your Heart                   Homemade                                       Magnolia

                                       

Let's check the first project where I have used Magnolia & Bless your heart sets.

Magnolia is a beautiful set with 6 flowers and 2 buds. Love the size and shape variation of all the stamps. Also the flowers look very natural and organic. I stamped flowers on Strathmore water color panel with archival ink and colored them with Mission Gold Water colors. I tried to achieve  loose, pixelated look.  Here is the colse up

The sentiment is from Bless your heart stamp set.

Second project is couple of treat boxes for which I have used Homemade stamps set. It has cute images of backing utensils and some lovely sentiments.

The boxes are 4" x 2 7/8" in dimension .  I used plain card stocks to make these treat boxes/bags. I cut, score and stamped the CS before folding. I also made 2 cute tags to go with them. 

Third card is mini 3x4 " card. 

Love how it turned out...:)

I hope you enjoyed the projects.

Pinkfresh love continues...

Hi Friends,

Once again, I am here to share the cards I made using few Pinkfresh studio stamps. The soft, delicate and whimsical feel of it is something new for me to work with. I am really enjoying playing with them.

I used Itty Bitty elements stamp set for this card. Beautiful set with bunch of different themed images to create cards for various occasions. I have used SSS - irregular dots stencil with oxides to make various circles. Images are stamped using black archival ink and colored with tombow markers. Sentiment is from Jane's Doodles set and flower branch die is from lawn fawn.

This is a retired set but I am lucky to get it before it was gone. Sentiment is from their new release

Word Series : Believe set. If you are as crazy for good sentiments as I am, You gotta have them all.

This one again is a retired set but man...how I love it!

Hope you enjoyed the post and feeling inspired. 

You can expect few more posts in future as I have quite a few sets on my wish-list.

Thank you for being here.

Hugs!

Cactus

This is the card I made for Jane's Doodles blog! I love this stamp set and I am looking for more sentiments to go with these beautiful plants. Coloring succulents is always fun as every time you can try some new combinations. I stamped and colored images on little larger that a2 size and cropped to desired smaller size. Images are colored using copics.

  

Altenew 3D peony dream dies

Hello Friends,

Today, I am sharing some fun ways to use Altenew 3D peony dream dies. I was reluctant buying it because of its very high price but couldn't resist much and got one anyway! I tried something fun, other than regular die cutting too. let's start with the obvious one.

I cut multiple layers in different colors and build the flowers. I use altenew's Sohcahtoa stamp set to make my background. It is quite flexible die set. you can use all or some layers to build the flowers. In pink flower i cut the petals to separate them and even shaped them to make it dimensional.

Now comes the fun experiment. I diecut smaller flower and the inner layer from acetate and used them as stencils to build flowers.

I used various oxides and distress inks for both layers. Isn't that fun? 

For the third card, i even used third layer stencil to emboss it.

I have used Altenew's golden peach and ranger's platinum embossing powder to emboss the third outlined layer. 

Check the close up below. It looks gorgeous in person.

I hope you feel inspired to stretch your supply & new ways to use them.

Thanks for spending some time with me here. Happy crafting!

little things

Be mindful of the smaller details of your moment, 

let them amaze you 

because

 they gradually paint the masterpiece 

that is life.

Jane's stamps painted with mission gold water colors. Simple, pure joy!

Magic

Hello my crafty friends,

Last year I got few stamp sets by  Pinkfresh Studio . I loved their designs the moment I saw the stamps. They have this dreamy, airy, whimsical feel to it which is so fresh and new to me! I love their papers too. Today, I am sharing few cards I made using their 2 stamps sets.

I used their Magic set to create these 4 cards. I am a sucker for good sentiments and this set has plenty...:) Love the fonts too.

There isn't much technique or process to explain as i kept it simple so that the stamps can shine.

For above card, I used oxides to stamp the castle and kept cloud background monochromatic. 

I used ranger and altenew embossing powders to emboss castle .

Here is the close up

I did reverse of first card. It was fun making rainbow clouds.

Yes, that much I love those sentiments...:P

Isn't that a gorgeous set?

 Next, I used Party animals  set to make tags and a card. Actually, I made this set last year . You can check card on my FB page HERE

Such a playful images! I totally adore them. I made birthday party invitations too using this set but can't find the pictures. I will update this post if I am able to get it from  the client. 

I have one more card using their paper pack Indigo Hill but it is for one of the DT post so will be sharing soon.

Do you have any pinkfresh stamps on your wishlist? Please share in the comment. Their last year's Christmas stamps are on mine along with few from new release. I hope you like my efforts. 

Thanks for being here. Hugs!
