Note book #1

note book #2

note book #3

note book #4

note book #5

TUTORIAL: Altered mini note book

STEP -1 -First take the measurement of mini note book,that you want to alter.Take a cardstock of your choice (here I have taken black CS) to cover my mini note book.Cut to exact size of your notebook.

STEP -2 Stick this  or cover this black CS on notebook with glue or red tacky tape,press properly on all sides and barnish it. Your cover is ready..now to decorate ....

STEP-3 for 2nd layer take any coloured CS 1/4" smaller than the front cover of the notebook (here I have used light pink CS.you can use any pattern paper also but I have made my own pattern paper using stamp so that it matches with my theme.I stamped ice-cream image with black Archival ink on light pink CS and  my pattern paper is ready.

STEP - 4 Stick this PP on the front of note book 

STEP - 5 Then I have taken white diecut piece using smallest die from oval dual stitched die set and on that I have stamped the sentiment  with black ink,and stuck the water coloured image of ice-cream stamp with foam dots

STEP - 6 Finally highlighted with black colour rhinestones and given stitched boarder all around using black marker pen.

N.B: If your notebook binding is thicker and bigger in size then covering with CS will not work ,it will open up from the hinge or binding parts. With bigger and thicker notebook or Diary we need to cover both front n back( leaving hinge part )..with CS and then hing part or binding part we have to cover with separate piece of CS or with binding tape or decorate sides with laces.Process can be vice versa also like hinge part can be covered first n then front n back ..depending on your designs

Then misted with water using very fine spray bottle.Dried immediately with heat gun.Again misted with perfect pearl mist spray to get pearly misted look.Then used Graceful lattice die cut in white,on that I have used Oval dual stitched die cut frame which I have used as  photo frame with vintage photo...Finally to decorate oval frame I have used stamped layered Dahlias and leaves..used word INSPIRE die cut in black n decorated with metal charms in all four corners and a dragonfly using E6000

Easel Shaker Card

Hello! crafty friends

I am Daksha Popat and I am very excited as this is my first post as DT for Peek-A-Boo designs. This month's challenge theme is : LAYERED PROJECTS!!!

     Before showing you my project for this month's challenge , I want you to check our this month's challenge  and its Rules ,and keep in mind that for this special challenge we have an additional Rule:Using STAMP,STENCIL OR DIE is a must.

You can see amazing creations from our DT'S HERE..

Now with no further delay my take on for this month's challenge..

This is a pretty easel card and has a shaker center. This Magical Fairies set is adorable. And the sentiments with the set help you create cute and adorable birthday and anniversary cards. 

- I used the newly launched Oval Dual Stitched dies which are Proudly Made in India to make the base of my card.

-  Distressed the base of my card to give it a little magical colour. I avoided used a plain black CS to create this affect.

- I stamped the fairies from the Magical Faries stamp set on Iris Paper and then coloured their wings and sprinkles Rock Candy Glitter. 

- Created one more distressed background for the inner portion of the shaker card.

-Stamped a sentiment from the same set.

- Added foam tape around the base created using the oval dual stitched dies 

- Added sequin and adhered a piece of clear film.

- assembled the entire card and tada the card was ready.

Supplies Used :

My second take on for this month challenge:

I have made 3 tags 

In this first tag I took iris paper n distress it with DI using scattered straw ,shabby shutter,peeled paint,n chipped shappire

after drying with heat gun I misted with water to get fine water effect on my paper again dried then misted with perfect pearl to get fine pearl mist look...finally decorated using #PABD stamps,dies,mulberry flowers, pearl stickers,etc...did matting with black card stock.

In this 2nd tag I have used DI..tattered rose n worn lipstick half n half...then using Arrow stencil I have used fired bricks,used vintage photo n black shoot on the edges to give vintage look...then my tag was looking little dull so to brighten up a little I have used scattered straw in the middle..decorated using Bold butterflies stamp set..n did matting with black card stock,finally highlighted one butterfly with fussy cutting the image

In this 3rd tag first I have used Bubble stencil n distress the paper using worn lipstic n peocock feather...then through the stencil on bubble part I have used dotty line mini stamp set ...DI fired brick lightly..then after removing the stencil I dried the paper and again distress with scatterd straw n tumbled glass...edges distressed with distress tool finally decorated using # PABD stamps ,rhinstones n did matting with black card stock...
