Happiness and Coffee!!

Hello Friends,

Anushree here today with my very first coffee card, made with Tubby Craft stamp set "Bookmark Quote".A quick introduction before I start showing you all the pictures.

So this is my first stamp set with coffee ,the sentiment is so true...I was a bit nervous while starting with this stamp set,so many ideas running but so confusing...U can understand my first coffee cards😅😅.But honestly once I finished making three cards(rest two I will be posting soon),I was thinking I could definitely make many more...Loved the sentiment,the font and how neatly all has been put together.

Here is my card

How I made this:

Browns can never go wrong when its coffee.I started with a brown cardstock as my base having another white cardstock below and splattered some white color onto it.

I chose a third layer of white cardstock and diecut it into a tag piece.Then I heat embossed the sentiment stamp with white embossing powder.After that I used Chocolate Brown dye ink from Tubby craft to give distress effect as shown.

Lastly I attached a thread to the tag and adhered it to the base using double sided tape.

I have used:

Hope you all liked my card.

Mixed media Wall clock

Hello Friends,

I have a beautiful Mixed media Wall clock for today.This wall clock is done for a lovely wife who wants to gift handmade to her husband.He will be celebrating his birthday in next few days.I am very happy with how it turned out and quiet sure that the couple will cherish it forever.

Here are the pictures,

For this clock I was inspired by the April Challenge from Papericious,Anything Goes with Flowers and Butterflies.

How I made it:

I took a raw clock base and applied Gesso on the whole base.Next I did some stenciling using various stencils from Tim Holtz and Craftreat.

In the center,I have used Pretty peonies Decoupage paper from Papericious. This paper has both the flowers and butterflies.I have used Mod Podge glue to adhere the decoupage papers. Next I have applied some inks from Tubby Craft and let it dry.

After that,I glued the Mdf cut Roman numerals ring around the center.I have also used some of the couple's pics to personalize the clock.

To complete the clock ,I have adhered some handmade flowers and butterflies.

I have added some metallic beads in the flower centers as pollens, also the hands of the clock are in metal.hoping that qualifies it for the challenge.

Enjoy the Ride!!

Welcome Friends,

I have a lovely scrapbook page for today.This one, I have made for my younger daughter Misha and dates back to 2016 when we traveled to Srilanka. It was indeed a memorable trip with combination of beaches,hills and plain areas.Food was also too good and natural beauty is beyond description. 

Here is my page

HOW TO:

I have taken a white 12*12 cardstock and started splattering some blue,some red and some yellow water color on upper right half of the page.The bunting on the top is hand cut from Papericious pattern papers "Happy Birthday"and adhered using clear dry glue.

To create this layout,I was inspired by Enza'a layout on Pink Fresh Studio's blog,here is the picture 

I also took a cut out of size 2*12 from the same pattern paper and adhered as shown.I also used some colourful strips from cardstocks to create a background along with a paper doily.

Next I used Precious Polaroids die set from My favorite Things in different colors and sizes and adhered as shown along with the picture of my daughter.

I have used Scootin By stamp set from Pink fresh studio to create various colorful elements for the page and water colored them all using my Zig markers.All these are stamped on a separate white paper and then fussy cut later. For color chart I was inspired by May month rainbow color scheme from Pink Fresh studio attached below

I have used some sentiment stickers from my stash.Everything is adhered as shown.I have also stamped some dotted lines on the right bottom of the page using grey ink and adhered a sentiment from same stamp set reading Enjoy the ride.lastly I have embellished my page with some enamel dots from Create a smile.My page looks complete to me.

Just say Cheese!!

Hi all,

I love making Scrapbook layouts,I feel they are the best ways to document memories and that's the same feeling with my family members too.My first layout happened some four years back and since then its like no stopping...Hhehe😊😇

Today's layout is special,I have made this for my husband who is a keeper and enabler of my crafting journey and wishes.Without him,all this would never be possible.For this layout,I was completely inspired by Flora Farkas layout for NSD on Pink Fresh Studio blog,I absolutely loved the sketch presented by her.For color palette,I took my inspiration from Pink Fresh Studio's May month challenge colors .

Here is my take on this

Flora's layout is below

The color palette which inspired me is here

I love Rainbows and really can't miss this lovely palette as my inspiration.

How I made it:

This lovely layout is done on a plain white card stock of size 12*12.I have used my Distress oxides to create a watercolor washed background using a flat brush of 1" size.

Next I used "Unicorn Dreams" Stamp set from Pink fresh studio and stamped all images on a white card stock and die cut them.I have water colored few portions of the Unicorn.All pieces are adhered as shown.I adhere the picture on top of a white die cut panel.

Next I adhered some flower puffy stickers from Pebbles brand which I picked from Scrapbook.com.After that I stamped small leaves all around the wreath in light green ink.I also added few more stickers of heart and camera.A small sentiment saying I believe in you is also stamped on white die cut panel top right.

Lastly I added the sentiment which is on vellum which silver writing saying "Just say Cheese".Completed the layout with some enamel dots.

Ink blended cards!!

Hi Everyone,

Anushree here,I have two lovely cards for today showing beautiful ink blended backgrounds and single ink stamping.The best part about these two cards is,I started making them simultaneously and used a single stamp set to complete both of them.

Here is my first card,

How I made this:

1. I took a plain white card stock and started blending various inks from Tubby craft.

2. Once the background was ready,I started stamping various images from "Bright Day" stamp set.

3. I have die cut the center with a circle die on this blended card stock.

4. Next I took a card base of white color again and stamped sentiment in the center,with black dye ink first and then heat embossed it with clear powder for the shine.

5. After this I adhered the blended piece with the help of double sided tape on the main card base.

6. Lastly added some cup sequins to add interest to the card.

Here is my next card,

How I made this:

1. I took a white card base and adhered a rectangle piece of ink blended portion.On top of that I adhered the round die cut which I got from the first card.

2. After this I stamped the sentiment using black ink and then used a die cut YOU to highlight my sentiment.

3. Lastly attached the cup sequins to add interest to the card.

I am sure you liked how easy it is when using tubby craft Dye inks and stamps for making cards.

Here is a picture keeping both of them together
