Here is my take for this challenge. I've made a greeting card. I've used my own designed stamp 'Floral Zen' from January release. :) Super happy to use my designed one for this first challenge of year 2018!! :)

Here it is...

It's a One Layer Card and I've chosen pink cardstock for that. I first stamped this floral in the middle of my cardstock then heat embossed with gold. I stamped and heat embossed again this image partly here n there for completing my background. Water colored them using Zig Markers. Used my color pencils for giving it a finishing touch. 

Here are some closeups..

I've created a video too about all the coloring of this card. Here it is...

Here is the pic of my designed stamp set which I've used for creating this card..

Crafting with Preeti D.- Part 4

Hello Dear Crafty Friends!

Preeti D. (aka Dutt Preety) here.

I have 5 Clean & Simple Cards to share today :) 

I've used many beautiful products from PABD's new release, which can be checked out HERE.

To start with, I wanted to introduce the concept of CAS or Clean & Simple. 

If you are totally new to cardmaking, it is essentially a style of cardmaking wherein, 

the emphasis is on the following guidelines: 

-Maintaining a lot of white space. White Space is the area on the card which is left alone. It need not be white in color, just uncluttered.

- Minimal or no layers

-One focal point/element

- Minimal Embellishments

-Easy to re-create once the design has been thought of 

Following are 5 examples of CAS cards. 

1. CAS Floral Card: Hello

Process:

1. For this card, the scalloped rectangle frame & hello were die cut in grey using the Scalloped Rectangle Die & the Hello Die. The Stitched rectangle was die cut in white using the Scalloped Rectangle die. 

2. The pretty flower was stamped in grey using Watering Can Archival Ink & the Floral Fantasy Stamp. The flower was colored with Prisma Color pencils. 

3. The card was assembled by adhering the scalloped rectangle frame to the card base, then foam mounting the rectangle die cut & adhering the hello die cut.

4. In the end, Nuvo Jewel drops were added as an embellishment.

2. CAS One Layer Card: Books

Process:

1. For this OLC, the cute image was stamped directly on the cardbase using the Bookworm Stamp & Shadow Grey Archival Ink.

2. The sentiment is also from the Bookworm stamp and it was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. 

3. Shadows were added using cool greys from the Prisma Color Pencils line. 

4. Finally, the card was embellished with a few Nuvo Crystal Drops.

3. CAS Card: Congrats!

Process:

1. The hexagon die cut was created using the Dual Stitched Hexagon Die. 

2. The baby dress was stamped using the Little Story Stamp & the sentiment is from the Madhubani Stamp

3. The background was created using Washi Tapes- Lovey Dovey, Classy Glassy & Blue Blossom.

4. To assemble the card, the heart was colored with a red Zig marker, the hexagon die cut was foam mounted on the card base & half pearls were added as an embellishment.

4. CAS Card: Friends

Process:

1. The stitched rectangle die cut was created using the Scalloped Rectangle Die & Canson Watercolor paper. 

2. The Chloe die was used to create the black silhouette die cut. 

3. Ink smooshing was done on the background (to create a loose organic look) using zig markers, a piece of acetate & a water spray bottle. 

4. The black die cut was adhered to the panel & the sentiment was stamped with versafine onyx black ink using the With Love Daisy Stamp.

5. To assemble the card, the stitched rectangle panel was foam mounted on the cardbase.

5. CAS One Layer Card: Get Well Soon 

Process:

1. The cute critter was stamped directly on the cardbase using the Vet Me stamp & Versafine onyx black ink.

2. The hearts were stamped from the Little Wonder Stamp. 

3. Light coloring was done & shadows were added with Prisma color pencils

October release inspiration by Bilovodenko Nadiya

Hi PABD fun's))) Today Nadiya Bilovodenko is here. I really liked our October release, and I played with them. Let's see what I did?
this is my first project - a simply card.
Background i made use a new stencil Abstract Triangle -
I put modeling paste and added the blue color using watercolor.

 basic details, I did stamp Solid Shapes and cut them along the contour.

 The inscription done by means of hot embossing golden powder and Bold Hugs and Love set.

 my second project - a money gift envelope.
I took a video tutorial for you as it is fast and easy make the.

 Close-up

 Here is tutorial

The third project is an experiment for you - Men's card.
I made a stamp from the set 

and then I just turned and made a stamp imprint of the reverse side.

 Then I cut out the circle and glued it on the black сardstok. 
Inscription made of white powder with hot embossing.
 I think it came out unusually an attractive and manly.

In my projects i used:





Enamel dots Rose Quartz

Bold Hugs and Love

set

Solid Shapes

 Abstract Triangle

set

 

Say it in Hindi!

Hello and Good Morning! ^__^  I'm Halak and today I'm going to be talking about a really pretty stamp set, which is the Hindi set.

Aptly titled All Occasions - Hindi, here's a picture of the stamp set :

Check out the varied sentiments and the pretty font. It covers all the important occasions and Indian Festivals so if you are looking for that perfect set in Hindi, this one fits the bill. Also, this beauty stamps super crisp onto textured and glossy paper.

I have created two projects using this stamp set, some inks, stencils and sequins.

As you know, our current challenge is Tic-Tac-Toe (see the grid below), I made my projects using the central column combination of : Bling (Sequins and Glitter) - Gold (Gold colored sequins) - Striped Element (The striped stencil borders on both the projects).

Here are individual pictures of both the projects :

Hindi is our national language and believe it or not, has a much wider reach than English. This stamp set enabled me to make projects by adding sentiments in Hindi that I could send for card drives. (Card Drives are where people send out cards for soldiers, children who are unwell, elders in old age homes, etc.)

So, a beautiful bold sentiment with some colors and a little bling are a great way to make one layer cards. What are you waiting for? Get cracking and don't forget to participate in our Challenge #3!

Till next time and have a lovely day! *Hugs*
