Set of Cards with Ruchi's Crafeteria!

Hey there!!

This is Ruchi from Ruchi's Crafeteria..! 

I'm back again and today sharing an article about a Set of Greeting Cards which I've made using my designed stamp 'Floral Zen' and my designed stencil 'Damask' from Peek-a-boo Designs. So much excited!! :)

Here are my cards...

First I've used PABD- Damask Stencil on white cardstock along with various colors of inks for creating my background. Adhered them on their matching color cardstock and put all of them aside. 

After creating my background panels...I've switched to my designed PABD- Floral Zen Stamp set and stamped this flowery image to white cardstock with the matching shades of inks...which can go well with my BG panels. 

Colored a bit all the stamped images using my FaberCastell Pencils. Then I've fussy cut them and adhered on my stenciled background. 

For sentiments..I've used PABD- Pretty Roses and PABD- Floral Cages Stamp sets. I've used black CS for that and heat embossed them in white. cut them in a strips and adhered them on my BGs. 

I've glued all the five BG panels on my card base and added some rhinestones for giving my cards finishing touch. 

Here are individual pics of my cards..

Hope you like my crafty project today and don't forget to participate in our current challenge 'Anything Goes'

Peek-a-Tute Friday - Stationery Box !!

Hello Blogger pals..How you all are doing ?? Shalu here to share a Pictorial with all of you !! This is the second tutorial post of the day & i hope u really enjoyed the previous post by DT Manu !! 

Ohh ..Sorry i forget to mention that from this month on-wards our Team mates will post a pictorial every Friday & hence we named it "Peek-a-Tut Friday" !! Hope you are enjoying The challenges & Tutorials so far & will enjoy all future posts too :)

So now to my Tutorial -

I Made a Stationery Box and Used the most beautiful n versatile stamp "the Damask" Set!! Here you go - 

I Used Peek-a-boo Design's Black Card stocks which is very very sturdy & good for making albums n boxes of all sorts !! Also Used White Textured card Stock for stamping (as a Pattern Paper) Though this one is also very sturdy n having 300 gsm but i loved the textures & its good for stamping too !!The Rose Gold Card Stock from which I Made the Bow N Hearts is just awesome !! Do check out all the Card Stocks & Stamps Here!!

Enjoy the pictorial in which I mentioned all the dimensions but feel free to adjust them as per your needs.

and if you have any query do ask me through comments here ..i would love to answer !! :)

>> Take a 12*12 " Card Stock !! Score all along as per directions in pictures.

>> For Lid dimensions are given. Also see how i created my own pattern paper using Damask Set.

>> Paste all the cut pieces of pattern paper to decorate the box !!

So guys i think i didn't bored you much & you really liked this attempt of Mine ?

Dont go away ...i am sharing a bonus tutorial too ---- yes this full post is picture heavy ..so just relax n watch it !! ;)

Card - 1 : As Holi is near so i thought to share a colorful Holi Card using " Holi Hai " Stamp set from Peek-a-boo Designs India !!

I Used a little bit of masking technique here . Let the pictures say all --

For finishing touch ups I added some colorful sequins which is my latest obsession ;)

Card -2 :  For this card i Used Jennifer McGuire's Over lap Stamping using " It's Plaid Time Stamp" from Peek-a-boo Designs India !! This stamp is also very very versatile & in so much trend!! We can create our own pattern papers with it !! I used Colorbox Pigment Inks for stamping. Firstly choose a point from where you wanna start your stamping ..i choose the top most corner so can reduce the chances of mistakes ;) Then keep on stamping in the same diagonal position with different colored inks.... .& while stamping further, just keep a single thing in mind that we need to overlap the previous stamped strip a little bit & when we do the same ..the two ink will give a very cool n beautiful effect after mixing with each other. 

See the steps --

Added some Heat Embossed Lotus From " Lotus Delight" Stamp Set and the Sentiment from Latest released Mini Stamp " Pixie Dust " .For final touch up added heart shaped stones from my stash !! See how colorful n classic it is looking !!

Card - 3 : Haww...finally the last one :p For this Card I again used " It's Plaid Time Stamp" from Peek-a-boo Designs India to build my background..this time i used solid wide strip as well diagonal strips stamps to create this beautiful n very colorful background with Pigment inks !!

 Have a look at the steps --

To complete the card i used " Be Good Mini Stamp Set " .Added some paper flowers and tiny heart shaped stones to finish it up !! Keep it as much simple as i could and i really loved the whole process of background building !!

I hope You Enjoyed this whole post & Please do not forget to participate in this Month's Challenge - Rainbow With Cloud : Create a Set !!

Journaling with Nysaa at Peek-a-tut

Hello Friends ,

I am Sharada Dilip here today yet again with an Pictorial !

I am here to share my art journal today 

Art journals are at rage these days and with the newest stamp releases at Peek-a-boo this month I couldn't resist but go ahead with creating this First page !

I wanted my page to reflect me, my love for colours and creations !

So I choose to go with my favourite colour combinations with distress paints and acrylic paints .

I created a mix and match background, keeping in mind happy go lucky feel ! 

I added the stamps from the Damask set  which has 15 different designs !

 After random application I went ahead to add in sentiments and words I wanted on the page ! 

This is like a constant reminder to me to keep going !! This is really what artists need a positive vibe to keep on whenever we loose mojo to work and it happens frequently :)

I have used splashes from Holi Hai stamp set totally gives the needed texture look.

I totally love this stamp set Nysaa  !! 

I have layered her dress with pattern paper and coloured her with water colours.

Totally love the way the page turned out!

Hope you liked the Peek -a -tut today
