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.

>> 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 !!

The Festival of colors - HOLI

Hello Everyone!!!

This is Manu. Yes, you guessed it right, this post is all about the Festival of colors: HOLI!!!

Holi is just around the corners and what best way to add some personal touch to your holi festivities than adding a dash of Handmade to it!! Handmade sure brings out the best in the greetings across India!

I'm very happy that there are finally some stamps that cater to the Indian festivals!!! Truly 'Made in India' and 'Made for Indians' !! I'm totally in love with the Holi stamp set launched by Peek-a-boo!! The total series consists of a 4*6 stamp set and 2 mini sets!! Total fun and a sureshot funfilled way to make cards and share them with your loved ones!!! You can find all the stamps at the Peek-a-boo store here. Go, checkout some really nice stuff that's all made in India!!! This stamp company is very promising and I'm sure there will be lots of new, fun stamps coming all the way from the team!! 

Here's what I made!!!

It's a set of 4 mini cards along with tags!!! As Holi is around the corner, I thought of making some cute cards for my little one's school folks!!! 

I have a little tutorial also about how I went making some of the cards in this series!!

Lets check out one by one!! I almost made the tags in sync with the cards that I did!

The card is easy peasy and for the tag, I first stamped the sentiment from the stamp in the middle as in the below pic.

Once done, I thought of putting the hand impression stamp in a round manner around the sentiment, hence, using washi tape as the circular thing, I drew a little circle around the sentiment and then proceeded too stamp using various memento and the altenew inks!

I totally love the splatter one on these itty bitty cute cards!!!

For the card, I took different colored inks along with the splatter stamp piece from the set and stamped randomly on the cardstock!! Once I was satisfied with the color all across, I stamped the sentiment and placed it with some foam tape to add a 3D look!

The splatter on the tag was done similarly!!!

The H O L I alphabets on the hand impression stamp are embossed with black ranger EP, and the sentiment is from another stamp set!! The first ever HINDI stamp set. If you are a lover of making cards and handing them out to friends and family and want the sentiments to be in Hindi, this stamp set is a must have!!!! You can checkout the All-occasion stamp set here.

This tag is one of my favorite one!!!

I used the all Occasion stamp set and used the word HOLI from the set!! Stamped this multiple times on the cardstockk to make my background. I then stamp the hindi stamp set on another cardstock and adhered it to the base panel made. Added a few colorful splatters and voila!! I'm done!!!

Here are my tags and cards again!!!

I do hope you will like these pretties and these 3 sets are a must have for all the card makers!!! 

 

I'm sure gonna make some more of these lovely ones and gift them to my family and friends!!!

Do checkout the current challenge here which is to make a set!!! be it anything!

I have made the cards along with the tags!!
