A Teddy Bear Shaker Card!

Hello Crafters!!

I have created a Teddy Bear Shaker card! Teddy bears are really cute and can melt your heart if someone gifts you a teddy card! My hubby and I had a little fight..so I decided to give him a card! He loved it! <3 :D

So, here is the card!

I have used a Red, Pink and White theme. I am using heart as my inspiration here (Muse celebration)..

I have added a teddy bear Connie Stamp and fussy cut it. I have used a red fabric color to fill in the heart. It gives your card a three dimensional look.

I have stamped the inside of the shaker card with Love stamp using seedless preserves distress ink! I am really loving the effect! :)
I added these little sequins and stuck the circle using 2 sided glue tape. I added the sentiment and cut out a pink heart and bordered it using the red fabric color. I used the heart stencil and fire brick distress ink to border the card with hearts! :D

I am entering them into the below challenges:

Pink hues!

Hellooooo Crafterssss!!!

I was really inspired by this week's challenges! So I was tempted to make this card! This one is a Clean and Layered Card!

So I decided to use this cute belt and the pink colour! The challenges seemed very exciting! Here I present before you a cute card inspired by the below images!

I have used a Tilda Stamp and I painted it using water colours. I liked the belt from the above image and thought of incorporating it in someway ! So I created a small buckle using magenta coloured card stock. I also added a flower shaped sequin to the card for embellishment!! :) I used a crayon resistant technique and created a bokeh-like effect on the card..!

Here are the close ups:

 I have purposefully colored Tilda with Magenta and blue to match the colour palette !! :D I have high lighted the corners with worn lipstick distress ink to give a magenta/red look to the corners! Hope you guys like it! :)





and one more..

Here is another look at the card! :D



These are the images that inspired me :

Just a Note! (CAS)

Hi All!

  We all love it when we get a note from someone, don't we? So, this card is just for the same! :)I present before you a CAS card that won't take much of your time! :D I have given this card a vintage look. :P

I started by using "old paper" distress ink. The card dimensions are 7*5inches. I cut out the sheets of butter paper, a card and transparent sheet.
I punched one of the card sheet and stamped the alphabets on it with old paper distressed ink. I added these pages together and embellished them using a string!
Have a closer look at it! :)

Then I added some little stars and hearts over the card with a stencil. This distressing might be old but blending it with new colors is always challenging!The sentiment is written using weathered wood distressed ink and the card is ready! :)

Material used:
1.Distressed ink old paper
2.Distressed ink weathered wood
3.cardstock
4.Butter paper
5.Transparent sheet
6.Alphabet Clear stamp
7.Tim Holtz ink applicator.

Tag Table Calender..!!

Hello Bloggers!! :)
A very Happy New Year 2015 to you all!! Me and my husband decided to start with a new year project. He loves photography so he would be making a calender using Photos. And this got me thinking! So, here I am presenting before you a new year project - A Tag Table Calender!! :D

I am getting addicted to distressed ink! Wow!  I said it loud now! :DThis calender idea is something new to me and I am enjoying it ! It is also a CAS idea. :) I am not so comfortable making stands, so I tried this for the first time.
I started making these tags first. I created 12(January to December) + 4(0 to 3)+ 10(0 to 9)+ 3 Transparent paper tags. In total 29 Tags for this calender!!

So, I started with the 12 tags (dimensions are 2.5inches* 5 inches) from January to December
For this, I have used Tim Holtz Kit 2.
(

Kit #2
Fired Brick	Mowed Lawn	Salty Ocean	Seedless Preserves

)

I used all the four colors to make it look colorful. The distressed ink gives your paper a very beautiful look!!

Then i decided to merge all the four colours on one tag paper for the number tags(0 to 9 and 0 to 3).
So, here is how i blended them on all four corners.

And they are ready!!

 So, now we have 12 tags for the months and 14 tags for the numbers of the month ready with us!

For Stamping, I used the Clear Stamps Alphabets. I stamped all the months of the calender on the 12 tags that I created. Here is a look at it..

And more pics..

I added the digits using stencils and seedless preserves distressed ink.

I used these cute star clamps to hang the tags on the stand..We can also use hooks instead of the clamps. However, clamps make it easy! :)

 Now, for the stand, I began by using a card board and cutting it into dimensions greater than the three tags combined.

I covered the stand with brick patterned paper. I have utilized the corners of cut tags by decorating them at the bottom!! :)

I also used a strip combining all the four colors and stuck it at the bottom on the stand for decoration.

The stand is erected using  cardboard strip at the back side of the board.

Here is another look at the Tag Calender!

The best thing about it is, it can be easily customized!! I have added 3 transparent tags in front of these tags in order to increase its life. :)

I am thinking of adding days tag to it too! we can add year tags too!! We can customize this calender and change the theme/colors of it easily!

I am happy to begin this year with my calender project! You can flaunt this calender in your office cubical or your study table at home! :)

The material I have used is:

1. Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Kit # 2

2. Alphabet Clear Rubber Stamps

3. Number stencil

4. Card Sheets

5. Brick patterned paper for stand

6. Tim Holtz Ink Applicator

7. Star Clamps

8. Cardboard

9.Cutting mat/ cutter/scale

I have entered this into a lot many challenges:
