So Spring!!

Heya folks! I am sharing a card after a long time today. My LO leaves no time for me to do anything else now.... so I am not going to be very regular with my posts and my blog.

Nevertheless, I found some time today to post this card which is inspired by everything spring. The bright and colorful flowers and the greenery reminds me of the fresh season. The background is also bright to add to the cheerfulness of the card. I used a stencil to make the bg and then cut out a portion of the bg to give a framed look. All the elements here are stamped and then fussy cut. The stamp set used is Avery Elle Petal and Stems.

Congratulations card

Hello. This is my second post for the day. It happens when you have a little one to tend to and you don't find time for blogging. And when you do, you post all your cards at once :D

 

Ok, so this is another card I made for Avery Elle's current challenge, which is to incorporate stripes in the card. This is what I came up with. I have used the Petals and Stems stamp set for this card too, but this time I thought of using the smaller flowers with stems.

 A close-up of the card...

 

Don't those glitter stripes look gorgeous.... yes I used glitter here. No embossing.... This is how I made the glittery stripes. I used the super tacky red tape (my current fav adhesive). Stuck it in stripes on both ends of the card.

 

Peeled off the backing and then generously covered it with white pixie dust glitter.

Tap off the excess and there you go.....It looks really gorgeous in real!! I got this tip from my crafter friend Dr. Sonia. She has many more ideas here on how to use the super tacky red tape.

Avery Elle Challenge #22- Stripes

Get Well Soon

Hi. Today I am playing along Avery Elle challenge of the month - Stripes. I have just one Avery Elle stamp as of now and I have made a couple of cards with it. So this time I tried out something different by creating a stripes background using TCW stencil. I made a floral bouquet for a Get Well Soon card. 

I did lot of stamping and fussy cutting and then arranged the elements to create the bouquet.

Avery Elle Challenge - Stripes

So Happy For You

Hello everyone!! Today I have another floral card to share.  I was envisioning this kind of gradient background since quite some time. Finally I got the look that I had in mind. The stencil used here is from Craftslane. I used black soot and weathered wood distress inks to get this background.

The sentiment is heat embossed using ranger black embossing powder. The stamp set used is Penny Black. 

The floral cluster was stamped on glossy paper and then fussy cut. The stamp set used is Avery Elle Petals & Stems. (I love this one!!) The watering can is a digi from the net which I printed n cut out and again used same distress inks to color it.

That's all for today. Have a great day!!

Thinking of You - Avery Elle Stamps

Hi. Today's card has a lot of stamping and fussy cutting in it. I used my new Avery Elle Stamp set - Petals & Stems. I absolutely love this floral stamp set. It's so much my type...all about flowers. I did a bit of stencilling for the background. This stencil is from Craftslane. I love their stencils. Fabulous results and they are dirt cheap.
