2016- Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop #1

It started today! My most favorite blog hop and theme ! 

I am sharing my first card which I made for my hubby's colleague, who is retiring soon. 

They says "Retirement is life's way of giving you a second chance to turn over a new leaf." It is the end of something which was there for a long and beginning of a brand new  journey, just like fall!

This is a big card (5.5 x 7.5 inches). I have used lots of MFT products. Sentiment and die cut is from PTI. I wanted to say read, travel a lot and relax . I hope it conveys that. 

Here is the close up 

I am entering for the 2016 -fall- coffee lover's blog hop.

Thank you for stopping by. See you tomorrow with another coffee card!

You are Awesome!

Hey there!!

Today I am on Jane's blog with a card using her latest release - Cactus. The more I use it the more I am loving it! It is a simple card with stamping and masking. I have used my new mission gold water colors to loosely colour it for that artsy look.... ;)

on the pots I have used some golden inka gold for that added shimmer.

that is all for today!

Thanks for being here.

Diwali cards @ Ranganjali

Hello friends,

I am guest designing on Ranganjali's blog. 

They have released some Indian motif stamps - their in-house production. These are large stamps (4x8) and can be used for any traditional project. Here is the sneak peek of what I created. I even made a pop-up card for diwali..... :P! Yaay... my first ever...so excited!

Check out their blog for details HERE! 

Altenew-peonies

Hello friends,

I am here for a quick post. I am sharing a card made using Altenew Peony bouquet stamp set! The flower is so large that I had difficult time deciding layout. In the end I went conventional way...framing the sentiment with images.

I have used lots of altenew inks and MISTI for stamping. 

Hope you like it!

I am entering this card at Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop

on TIME OUT Challenges Blog. Thanks Nonni for letting me know about this blog hop!

See you soon with Diwali Cards I made for this year!

Garden In a jar

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today, I am on Jane's blog and I have used the latest release stamp set Cactus . 

I love succulents. I have many in my gardens in all types of containers.

 

 When I was in collage and staying in dorms, because of space constraint  I used to grow small succulents in a jam jars. That was kind of my personal garden...:). Today's card is inspired from those days. 

One more thing I would like to share. I have this habit of making masks as soon as I get my new releases. 

They are made from full adhesive post-it . I stick them on the back of the acetate and I am ready to go! This helps me to make  cards quickly and  also helps me to decide my layout.

So back to the card....

I have use a jar stamp from Life is Good  set and created a mini garden in it.

It took me a while to  select images and positioning them. I used copics to color the images.Coloring the jar took the longest...;) I wanted to paint the transparency of glass, hope I achieved it. With copics, learning is never ending process. 

I also applied wink of stella on soil. It looks better in person.

I had lots of fun making this card. Hope you will try this set out. I will soon be posting another card with same set ! 

Friendship with MFT

Hi Friends,

I have so many cards to post but not getting time for the same. Today's card I made a while back using my new MFT supply. Lately, they are releasing some gorgeous stuff every month which is impossible to resist. Last month, we ordered it directly from their site to India, on release date and it arrived within 7 days. That was some super fast delivery & awesome customer service!  Hats off MFT pps! I am loving it!

Here is the card!

I have used Birch Tree Die and Snuggle Bunnies  stamp with co-coordinating dies. The card is 5x7" . So the tall birch trees are perfect back drop to balance those little friends. I have used various distress inks for trees and copics to colour bunny and bear!

Signing off with this. I will be back tomorrow with a new card...:).

Love.
