The harvest berries

In my last order from Papertrey Ink., I also bought The Harvest Berries stamp set. I usually like earthy stamps like tree, bushes etc.. Paper which I used is from the stack of papers I bought really cheap from Cranberry Hills Mercantile's flea market sell few months back. I really loved the paper. Without adding any special effect the texture of paper was adding extra layer in my card. I used Happy Definition from Hero Arts on base card stock. This one also I made it as a set.

Earring holder card

One of my colleague likes some of my earrings so when I saw one which I like, I thought to buy it for her. But I thought to give them not as it is but in a card or some kind of holder. So I made a simple card with the silhouette flowers image and then with velcro I stick the earrings on the card. I distressed the edges and finished the card with flowers from My Favorite Things die.

Sending U Love

This days I have found my new love(of course after my husband ;-) )... Digital stamps... I think I started using digital stamps 1-2 weeks back but I love to use them as they are quite handy and just print the image you like, color it and you are almost done... Even I create my own sentiments too... It's surely the most economical way of card making. With my new love(technique), I am sharing a new card for DT call for Prairie Fairy Designs with the cute bunny image. I have also used my new Martha Stewart butterfly punch for the first time which I bought over the Christmas(to New year) break. I hope you love my creation.

Bunny with flowers

I am so excited right now, I am on vacation now till 3rd Jan.... yupiii... So the first thing I did was to print out some digital stamps and make some cards... Can you belive the yellow base card stock is from one office folder which I never liked and I used it here. Now I love this card using my favorite Friday MashUp sketch... :-) I have bought the new circle punch 2 days back when I opened it yesterday it was not working at all. I was so disappointed so for this card I have to cut all the circles by hand... So much work but it's worth it. I hope you love my card.

One more acetate card

Once again one more card learned from Memories Live On. We stamped on cream and red polka dot paper. The same stamp was also done on Acetate and then using green copic markers I colored the butterflies on the other side of the stamp. When I saw the sample I never thought that the the butterflies are colored. I was so amazed when I knew about that. Then simply cut them, used clear glue to stick them and added some glitter on wings. The green background was using embossed folder.

Dreams come true

I am so excited this week as in my office every Dec we have a craft fair. So this time I thought to participate in it will all my card creation added in this blog along with some of the cards which I made initially. It was a very successful, i sold all my cards except 3 cards. Isn't that great? I didn't earn a lot as I have kept my cards in very less amount as it was just for fun and my encouragement to make some more but it was real fun. My office is huge and the event was in cafeteria. So many of my teammates came to my table and encouraged me. Anyways so that means I have to make some more cards and here comes one card which will make someone's(may be mine) dream come true.



I have one more card with the similar theme with just a different stamp and I added some beads on this card...
