Its a Girl!

Hello Everyone, Piyanki here today with a brand new card using the DCAM Stencil and dies. Its a very cute project and I thoroughly enjoyed creating it.

So before we proceed, hope you all are enjoying our current challenge. We have some amazing response till now and hope to see more.

So 2 days left for the challenge to close and you still have time so hop on HERE.

So now its turn for the project. I will explain in detail how I created this.

The final card measures 5.5x5.5. It has 3 layers. 

First layer is made with water color background. Used the DCAM Die " Its a Girl" and placed it diagonally. Later used shades of pink distress ink for the water color effect.

Once the layer is created, tore it and distressed the edge. For the second layer Used the DCAM Stencil to create a background with texture paste. Its a pink CS and hence did not color the background. Left it white textured.

Now for the center piece. I used the DCAM square die and die cut 10 pieces. Created a stack with 8 and then used the rest two after placing the sequins.

At the bottom stamped a baby stamp on a vellum sheet from my collection to add to the theme.

This way if you make any shaker its much easier and also the sequins would not stick to the sides.

The flowers, lace, trims are all from my collection.

 Later finished the card with some candy rock glitter and white splatter.

So do let me know how you like it. Share your comments.

A Forever Card

Hi,
Good Morning everyone, its Sachi here and today is my turn for the DCAM Challenge Inspiration . I hope this card gets your creative MOJO going !

I started the card with the black linen textured card stock from Die Cuts & More , i think it gives a very sturdy base to a project.
Lots of intricate dies from Memory Box and Cheery Lynn have gone into this card !The delicate swirls and the gorgeous heart are all Memory Box dies , Die Cuts & More has an amazing and a huge collection of these beauties . And yes best of all the Cheery Lynn Sweet Williams strip,it a must add die if you love making handmade flowers .Here's a closeup-

The blooms have been  colored with Spun Sugar distress marker with the white center pollen from Die Cuts and More . Adding fine brush strokes is a lot easier with the distress markers.

I wanted to use this antique watch which i  fussy cut from the Prima Engraver Papers , apart from giving a vintage touch it also adds as an embellishment.The background on which the sentiment pieces have been stamped have been distressed with Frayed Burlap, Antique linen and some gesso.

I hope I have inspired you to make a shabby chic creation for our ongoing Challenge No 2#-Shabby Is Chic, so keep the awesome entries coming  . And let me know if you like my card , would love to hear from you . And don't forget to check the crafty supplies beneath .

Thanks for stopping by , Have a great day ahead !

Tag !!

Good Morning Folks !!

How are you all?? Hope you enjoying this month Challenge here with us DCAM and enjoying the Mind boggling inspirations from our Team. Today I have a TAG to share with you all . I always wanted to make one ever  since I bought mine first Prima doll stamp . Well I did try to coordinate my tag with theme but I guess it gives more of Contemporary feel .
Have a look ..

How is it ?? I know not good but fine :P

Close Views 

Yeyy I have used my MIST-RIES to make the background . Now the question that POPS UP in mind will be How did I get this Soft tones of our BOLD VIBRANT MIST-RIES  ?

RIGHT ????

Another close view (textured background)

OOOH.. I just loved it . What do you have to say about it ??

For Background I have Used the same technique which I shared with you in my last month post FLORAL MIST-RY ( you can check the tutorial.) The technique is exactly the same ,I have applied a layer of gesso on my base Tag to lower down the tone of Mist- ries .

And my hand FLOWERS . Seriously I hooked to flower making !!

The white and pink flower is handmade . And I have added pearl to give a look of spray .

I know I am totally bad in coloring :P but learning somehow . I have used a scrap Pattern paper stamped with versamark inkpad over the paper and used silver embossing powder .It gives altogether a different dimension to the stamped dress what say ???

Hopefully I was able to Inspire you all and Don't forget to participate in our this Month Challenge.

Have a Nice day 

XOXO

Hi friends,


I'm Anita Kejriwal as guest designer for the Dcam challenges this month. It is indeed a pleasure for me to do this tutorial as not only do I love making scrapbook layouts but also because Mansi is a very dear friend.
So I,ve tried showing the making of my project through a video tutorial. As usual, before I write any post, I was very nervous....as if I'm sitting for my exam....lolll......and so please please excuse all the interruptions and wrong camera angles and other slip aways......I ,ve tried to show each and every step in detail, so just bear with me. This post is also picture heavy so just grab some snacks.... sit back....and ENJOY!!!!!
Before I start, let me tell you that this month's challenge theme is 'SHABBY CHIC'. I,ve tried to explain the features of shabby chic style in my video. However thats just a general opinion that I have told you......just a few features and you are free to look at the way you want to see.The supplies for the layout have all come from the fabulous crafts store DIE CUTS AND MORE. This is a wonderful craft destination for all craft addicts as it has the best brands from the crafts world and also a wide selection of each category.

Shabbilicious Layout with Tutorial

Hi Friends,
Today is my chance to share my inspiration for Shabby Chick with you all... Well i am hooked to making Flowers these days...as most of you must have seen on Facebook...and layouts is becoming my second love... I love making them.... I have tried a lot of new things in this layout ... Here is a Sneak Peak of what I did... And yes... not to forget...I was inspired to make this layout when I saw something similar on Pinterest. This is my Take on the layout.... Here is the sneak Peak Of what I made....

The flowers are made by me... you can learn how to make these Beautiful flowers at the comfort of your home through ONLINE CLASSES. So Distance is not an issue...You may be anywhere in the world.... We can always do a SKYPE session....(Let me WARN you, This is a Picture Heavy Post)

OKAY NOW ON TO THE TUTORIAL

First I took a 12X12 piece of  our Imported CHIPBOARD . (Did I tell you they are an Awesome Quality and very Sturdy to hold all you heaviest embellies , These make an excellent base for clocks as well). Then I took my favorite LIFETIME PAPER collection by PRIMA and tore them vertically in strips .

I then Distressed all the strips using  Tea Dye and Vintage Photo  Distress Inks on all the sides.

I then Stamped all the strips using black archival ink pad and Script Texture Clear Stamp and created a background. I tried with coffee Inl as well...but was satisfied with Black only....

It looked something like this and then I adhered it to the chipboard which gave me a Beautiful Vintage background.

I then Cut out a chipboard frame using my favorite Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Frame  die. and also Engraver Pattern Paper..

Inside the frame I have put Romance Novel Journaling Notecards for the background. And Finally embellished it with MDF Laser cut and a few laces from my Stash 

Then I adhered the frame and my flowers and Foliage along with the Prima Blings available at Die Cuts and More

                                                             A closer look to the arrangement

             
After having made the complete layout I realised this was looking too Vintagy Shabby .......What do you think??? Take a look how it was looking earlier...So to make it complete SHABBY CHICK 

 after completing the whole Layout as it is looking in the pic above ... I added a lil strokes of GESSO here and There and then distressed it with Worn Lipstick distress Ink 

(Sorry I could not take the pics of that, as It was not planned and was a random act ) 

 anyways... this was the Final Outcome...

And Finally I was also satisfied with the look....This is my first attempt on a SHABBY CHICK LAYOUT...Hope you all like it. If you have any question feel free to ask me and Please don't forget to leave me Some love through your valuable comments.I love to read them. Byee for now...Keep Crafting :)
