Gate Fold Card

Hello friends

Today I am here to share a good news and a card which was pending to be on this blog. So here's a good news I have been selected as a DT member on Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge blog. Pls visit this blog and share some love with your beautiful comments...
Now on to the cards...I am warning you all pls don't accuse me if its too bright.:) Yes this card is very bright in color Yellow. I have used gatefold technique for this. Over to pics.

I have added a bit of glitter to the green lines and rhinestones on the corners.



This is the belly band with my handmade flowers. I have added glitter on the edges of flowers and a big pearl in the center. Added PieLane chunky glitters. I love Glitters and their shimmers...:) Don't you love glitter??

Do let me know if you would like to have a tutorial for these flowers.

This is how it looks once belly band is removed. I have added pockets on each side for journalling tags.

Damask Greeting

Hello friends
How are you all doing? Here it was a great weekend with some drizllling(which was supposed to be heavy rain according to weather forecast) God knows from where they anticipate such hopes!!! and lots of fun. I had a great time watching Movie "Dark Knight Rises" and after all this fun had to arrange my cupboard full of craft material(hey this was pending since long back and at last after all of teh scolding I had to execute it)...hehehe...While arranging my cupboard I saw Damask stamp set which I havn't used till now, so thought of giving it a try. I stamped the big damask stamp on a white cardstock and heat embossed it. And believe me it was not up to mark and I thought of trying once more and voillllaaaaaaa second time results were too good. You'll see in the pics. I had used bright pink and blue combination for this card. I know the heat embossed part is not exactly pink:(It has a reddish touch....

Friendship Sentiment from Fiskars. I marked it out with glitter pen and black gel pen to give some dimensions.

The big Damask design heat embossed...You can see some glittering around the edges. I have outlined the design with glitter pen before heat embossing which gave it a nice shining to edges.

Lemme me your opinions about the card as they help me in improving.

Hugs,

Shilpi

Its been long time...

Hello friends

Its been long time since I posted anything. But believe me its all schedule to be blamed. I was so busy with family functions, marriages and guest and friends on weekends that I hardly got any time to sit and craft. On top of it my DH got sick and had to attend him full time...He is fine now:) So hopefully I'll be back with some new things soon..Keep watching....

Happy Crafting....

Purple Love

Hello
Hwz everyone!!! Its been too hot and sunny here! So here's my card to bring some cool effect...I have used lots and lots of blingsss...I think I have gone overboard....Is It???
Okies...without much blabbering here are the pics....

I have added faux stitching on the sides to fill in the space and stamped the sentiment. I know that the quality of the photo is bad:( It seems I am too bad at photography.

Hearts are hand drawn and cut. I have added Hobby Ideas stickels and PieLane glitter balls to the hearts to give them a bling. A cute little butterfly from PieLane.

Hope you'll like it. Do leave me some suggestions, I'd love to hear them as they'll help me improve.
