Flower cards with DCAM

Hello crafty friend
Today it's my third DT post for DCAM designs using critter sheets-.. .I have created simple cards focusing on flower critter sheets... with that I have used distress oxides inks, Papericious design papers, few dies and stamps..for sentiments I have used sentiment banner critter sheet. These flower critter sheets are so pretty that I couldn't stop myself and created 4 cards🙂

#1- first I did fussy cutting of all flowers n banner sentiments.

#2- then did few die cutting ..as I thought to use piano die, double stitched rectangle die cut frame.. etc.

Card-1: In this card I have used iris paper and cut the base 4.25 x5.5" using lawnfawn stitched rectangle die..inside frame I have used double stitched recangle die cut frame..then placing in the middle I marked the area lightly with pencil and did water Coloring using distress oxides inks..removed pencil mark with eraser..used black splatter effect with stamp..you can do it with brush..but I like to use stamp as it's much more controlled...then used dcam flower design , banner sentiment.. finally layered with black and white diagonal stripe pattern paper and folded iris card stock. Used clear drops in few places. I really love this soft look of my card❤️

Card-2: in this card I have used Papericious script pattern paper which I have cut into 4.25 x5.5" with lawnfawn stitched rectangle die..distress the edges using distress oxide ink. Then cut out the rectangle frame using double stitched rectangle die..I removed that pattern paper frame and added a frame in iris paper which I have raised a little using foam tapes..again in the middle part of iris rectangle frame I did smooching technique using distress oxide inks n water. Used dcam flower designs,sent sentiment banner and light purple rhinestones...finally on last thought I added blank ink Splatters using stamp and black versafine ink all around the outer side of the frame. Finally I layered the card with purple pattern paper and with folded iris card base. This one is my favourite of all four cards🙂

Card-3:here outer card frame 4.25 x5.5" from iris paper using rectangle stitched die. On that first I marked the area with pencil where my composition was there and did water coloring using distress oxide ink. Then I did stamping of leaves using green distress oxides ink and black versafine ink. Did flower and sentiment placement. Here also I have done black splatter effect..using stamp and ink. Finally did layering with black cardstock and iris folded card base...used clear glass droplets.

Card-4: In this card intial few step same ..like base same from iris paper..here only I have used memory Box piano die cuts in black..I have layered 4 pieces together to give raised look to piano keys. And decorated using DCAM flower designs, sentiment banner and clear glass droplets. Here also I did water color effect with distress oxides inks , black splatters with stamp n black ink , layering with black CS and iris folded card base.

Hope you have enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed making them.. thank you for stopping by..if you have any queries please feel free to ask.. thank you

Love and hugs

Card using 3D Stencil Builder

Hello beautiful people!
Spardha here today from The Lazy Owl Designs.
I am back with another card, this time with more experimentation and hit-and-trials with these amazing 3D stencil builders!

Supplies Used: Cardstock - beige, white; Orange watercolor critter sheets; Tools - Heat gun, soft pastels;

Gold Embossing Powder, 3D Cube Stencil builder; Stamp - Kaisercraft Daydreamer; Embellishments - Sequins;

Have you tried any of these stencils yet?
Because if you haven't then you should definitely give these a try and you will fall in love {not even kidding}

Our amazing designer Mansi has made a tutorial video on how to use these stencils here.
I wanted softer shades for my card and thought let's give this a shot with soft pastels. Best thing about these stencils is the fact that these are sturdy and thick enough for you to hold down and pat with any colour without making it bleed.

The background was achieved using dry-wash technique with soft pastels and of course used the beautiful critter sheets and this stamped sentiment with a few sequins to complete the look.
Hope this gives you lots of ideas to use these stencils with different inks and mediums.

--- Have a happy week! ---

Shabby chic embroidery hoop layout with DCAM

Hello! crafty friends,
This is DT Daksha from DCAM designs. I am super excited but little scared at the same time as this is my first post for DCAM and I wanted to give my best. On seeing the critters sheet first thing comes onces mind is envelope or card, but I wanted to create something different. I am super happy to see the end result - Shabby chic embroidery hoop layout. The photographs doesn't give justice to this layout as in real it looks much more prettier. Here are the full project details with pictures.

Step by step instructions:

#1-very first thing I did all fussy cutting of design sheets which I was planning to use. Then planned my layout by roughly placing everything inside the loop. I kept adding few things as I went with the flow.

#2- applied white chalk paint on embroidery hoop, MDF pieces and square frames...last minute I have changed the hoop color to light pastel pink color

#3- then stick the pattern paper at the base of the hoop using tacky glue and gave a coat of clear gesso to prepare the base.

#4- then prepared all MDF pieces with glitter power using glossy accent.

#5- used paper lace boarder by diecuting iris paper from spellbinders lace die.

#6- die cut all flowers, leaves,fillers etc on 270 gsm iris paper using DCAM dies.

#7- applied glitter on all flowers,leaves and fillers using glossy accent.

#8- Arranged everything according to my plan, kept adding few things as I progressd in my layout...used double sided foam tape and hot glue gun to stick flowers and all.

#9- used sentiments from the same design sheet.

#10- finally used pearls and pearly swirl bling from my stash.

Hope I have inspired you with my work.. thank you for stopping by and staying with me till the end🙂.

Love n Hugs
