Handmade spring flower bunch

Once again in Memories Live on shop's De-stress Friday's make and take had this wonderful card to make. We used Hero Arts's layered flower stamps for layering flowers. For distress look we use pink crackled paint. If you can see on background, I have also scratched it for more distress look. I hope you like the card. I have not added any sentiment to make it very general.

Sparkle fairy with flowers

I love to make multi-fold cards. So I wanted to try out Diamond fold card. I used one Digi which I got it from one site. If you have marked, I used silver pen to color the hair to match it with paper. I used some of the papers which I got as part of one of the Late Night craft event at Binghamton University 3 years back. I love this papers and they are full of bright colors, texture and sparkles. I am trying to find these paper set from quite a while but I am not able to. :-)

Just for a background, when I was in my Master's(3 years back) I was working in Late Night Binghamton which organizes different craft and fun events on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and which are usually free. I always felt that was the best job I even had as I love to do craft.



The fairy in details,

What's your age?

I am not good in making men's card so this week I was determined to make one and here is the card I come up with. I found this image from one site online, I colored the image and used glossy glue on this cute golf guy's shirt.



In this card I have added funny sentiment too.

Coffee and friends

I am big fan of Tea and Coffee. Usually on weekdays I have my coffee in my office but on weekends I will have my favorite Indian Tea. So anyways I love to make cards made with some coffee/tea format. Isn't making card is very similar to the likes and dislikes of your life?? ;-) This card was very simple to make just color coffee, tea cups and I was good to go... I even put a cup of coffee inside too. I cut the sentiment in two parts half outside and half inside to finish the statement.



Inside of the card with coffee cup and rest of the sentiment,

Black and white congratulation card

I just bought Sizzix Big Shot from one of the local scrapbooking shop and 2 embossing folders from Micheal's. I tried that machine for this card and I love it. It makes cards so interesting. I have one digi stamp of silhouette flowers so I thought to go for a simple and elegant congratulation card. I took totally 15-20 minutes to make this card and I am pretty happy with the output.

Love you with all my heart

Sometime back I went to my favorite Memories Live on shop in San Jose for make and take. This is from Tools time Tuesday. I am learning how to use copic colors, so this is perfect which I made in that session. And another this which I leaned was how to make inside of the card interesting. I have stamped the image from My Favorite Things. Did you notice the cute girl's shoes? Shoes has wonderful sticker which is adding extra touch.



Most interesting part of card, inside of it... ;-)

Valentine Love tag

Finally after a month I am putting one card on my blog. I have been busy from quite a while and when I had a little time overt this weekend I made 2 cards so I thought to just out it on. BTW Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine's Day!!! I made this card on Memories live on make and take on Friday. I stamped the LOVE and cut it in perfect shape. On a tag I stamped LOVE multiple times get distressed look and then added layered heart with wings which are die cuts. After hearts are layered out, I sprayed perl red. Ended the card with twine and key.
