Create Backgrounds using Die - Cutting Inlay Technique (two variations)

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to my post, today I'm sharing a fun video where I just use one die to create a very glittery background for my cards..
Its a very simple technique of die-cut inlaying, where you die cut your base panels with some die. And use some other cardstock to die cut few out of the same die. And then use this die cut pieces as puzzle pieces to fit into the base panel(already die cut).

I know this sounds really really confusing, but trust me, its easy as it could be. So I have a video tutorial for you guys to show you this fun easy and awesome looking technique..

I also share a variation in my video where you can use either vellum or cardstock behind your panels to get different looks from the same technique..

So without much ado let me share the video with you guys..

And if you wanna watch the video on YouTube click HERE

Here is a picture of both the cards together.. Aren't they pretty? Oh I love all that glitter.. Could not decide, which ones my favorite.. Can you??

All the supplies used here are listed in the description box of the YouTube Video.

Hope you guys enjoyed it.

Thank you for visiting. 

Have a Nice day.

The Little Sparrow cards

Hello lovely crafters!

I am Vinita Jain from New Creations! And very excited and thrilled to be here on Peek-a-boo Designs as their Guest Designer for showcasing my first ever designed stamp set "The Little Sparrow" and "Beaded Stencils." And both of them are turned out so perfect, Vidushi, made my dream true! And I don't even know how to express, how happy this wonderful opportunity has made me! When I received my own designed stamp set, I just jumped up with joy like a kid!

So here I am representing two of my cards in my fave color blue with my designed stamp and stencil!

Card 1

• I went with Sketch Challenge#10
• Stamped the image and little birdie in Pumice stone DI on Bielo white CS. Colored them with Zig Clean Color Brushes using water and for showing more depth, I used my watercolor pencils for shading. Fussy cut them.
• By masking technique, I again stamped the flower part only, colored them. Fussy cut it and don't forget to color the edges too.  

•  I embossed my flowers using the embossing tool and pad, added few pollens inside and adhered them on the main flower image, Look at the depth and dimension on 3 D flowers, I totally love the amazing results! Die cut a white CS using Dual Stitched rounded Rectangle. Created a grassland at the bottom by drawing some grasses and bushes, watercolored them.
• For my card base, I extended the Stitched Rectangle die and embossed the stitches using my Big shot on black colored CS.
• Die cut a stitched scallop border out of a blue glitter sheet and created some holes using die for more textures and adhered it on my blue panel. Now adhered my top panel on it and created the whole scene.
• Die cut a Fishtail banner out of vellum sheet using my Dual Stiched rectangle die:), for V shape I used one of a corner of the die and created holes again using die. Stamped the sentiment on vellum and heat embossed it. 

Embellished with few sequins and added some Glossy accents on flower and water droplets too.   And I created the matching inside too, look at the view:

Card 2

• Die cut a textured watercolor CS and  created a window using Dual Stitched Rounded Rectangle.
• Die cut a fancy lattice out of an adhesive white felt sheet, applied glitter dust on it and burnished it with my finger.

• Using Beaded stencil applied the texture embossing paste on it and watercolored it using acrylic paints and added some splatters too.
•  I stamped my Little Sparrow image  in blue sketch DI. I colored the whole image with my white Gel pen for textures and then watercolored it with some DI and left the sparrow as it is. Fussy cut it. 

• Die cut the Inspire word 4 times, heat embossed it and applied glossy accents for more depth and shine.
• Before adhering the fancy lattice panel, I die cut one more panel for inside and adhered it between both of the panels to create a window. Now adhered the sparrow image using pop dots.
• I cut a turquoise blue CS and adhered my back panel on it with a peek of the strip at the top.

For inside, I watercolored the panel using DI and added a stem of Bluebell flowers with a cute little birdie.  Stamped the cute sentiment in dual DI with a frame too.

Thank you Vidushi so much for having me and trusting me! It is truly an honor!

Hope you guys enjoyed my both creations and will leave some love here!

Happy crafting!

Video Tutorial - Mirror Image Stamping

Hello everyone, its Juhi with a video tutorial. Haven't you ever wished that a stamp faced the other way, the image could be cute animal, a flower bunch, a bird....like in this card I wanted to have 2 foxes facing each other.

The "Mirror Image" stamp from the September release lets you do just that.

In today's video I'll be showing you how to stamp mirror images using the "Mirror Image" stamp. It's a slightly long video as I wanted to show the process a couple of times so that you understand it clearly. If you'll bear with me till the end of the video I also show ways to cover up stamping goof ups. So grab a cup of coffee and sit back and enjoy!

Supplies Used:

Mirror Stamp

Humming Blossom

Scalloped Rectangle Die

Cute Critters

NEW REALEASE IS NEW INSPIRATION

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here to share with you two cards that I made using great stamps sets released this month. Keys and Locks and the Indian Motif. Take a look at my cards:

For the first card I selected my favorite stamp set, Indian Motif. I am feeling in love with these arabesques and I want to use them in all my creations. This set is perfect for elegant cards and you can use it for any occasion.

Creating this card was a wonderful time:

1. Cut the base using Night of Navy card stock. The size is 4-1/4"x11" with score in 5-1/2"

2. Cut a second layer using Soft Suede card stock. The size is 4-1/8"x5-3/8". Paste the layer directly over the base.

3. Cut a third layer using Very Vanilla card stock. The size is 4"x5-1/4". Stamp all of your images from the Indian Motif over this layer.

4. I stamped the motifs using Classic Ink in colors Night of Navy, Soft Suede and Daffodil Delight all over the right corner.

5. Create a banner using a sentiment included on the stamp set Happy Birthday Everyone. I just stamped a little part of one of their images and cut it with a banner punch.

6. Stamp the word friend from the same stamp set Happy Birthday Everyone using Soft Suede classic Ink.

7. Paste the little piece of card stock using a dimensional over the original motifs stamped

8. Complete the decoration by stamping some little dots and branches with Daffodil Delight Ink. 

For my second card I used 3 new products but for now I can only tell you about two. But if you are curious, you will discover the third very soon!

Creating this card was a great time too. Let me tell you what I made:

1. Cut the base using Real Red card stock. The size is 5-1/2"x8-1/2" with score in 4-1/4".

2. Cut a second layer using Very Vanilla card stock. The size is 4-1/8"x5-3/8".

3. Following a pattern, stamp the different images of the keys included on the stamp set Keys and Locks using different colors of ink and textures.

4. Stamp one of the locks included on the same stamp set using Delicata Copper Metallic Ink and cover it with Clear Embossing Powder and melt with the heat tool.

5. Fussy cut the lock with your scissors and paste over the stamped keys using dimensionals.

6. Cut the die word Love using a layer of Makin's Clay Red.

7. Paste the die word Love over your card.

8. Finalize the decoration by adding some brown enamel drops.

All of these products are available in Peek-a-boo Store and very soon you will see not only one of the new products that I used in my second card, but many more, and you will love them! Here are the products:
