Rounded rectangle dual stitched die
Numbers die and
Celebrate word die.

Stenciling and die-cutting

Hello and good afternoon dear friends!

I'm Halak and today I have a three projects to share with you.

Project #1

Taking the Messy Background stamp as my inspiration, I hand-drew and colored the background using Sakura pens.

The sentiment is the gorgeous Thank You die from the recently launched October release.

Apart from this die, I also used my favorite, the Rounded Rectangle Dual Stitched Die from an earlier release.

Now, an exciting piece of news.... you must have seen the gorgeous 11 cutting dies that were released by Peek-a-boo Designs (PABD) yesterday.

In actuality, there were not 11 but 12 cutting dies!

Due to a tech. glitch the die #12 which is a beautiful word die that spells the word Celebrate, could not be uploaded.

What does it look like you ask?

Well here are the pics, check it out!

Project #2

Here I've used the brand new Celebrate Word Die with the Arrows Stencil and die-cut the rectangle using the Rounded Rectangle Dual Stitched Die.

Project #3

For this project, I have once again used the Celebrate die and the Rounded Rectangle dual stitched die with the BOX-tacular Stencil.

I've looped a golden strand of thread on top and paired it with a black bow. I think the combination of black and gold really gives this project an extra special touch, what say? ^__^

Here are a list of PABD products that I've used in these projects :

I'd love to hear what you think! Thank you so much for stopping by! *Hugs*

A card and an ATC with tips!

Hello and good morning dear friends!

I'm Halak and today I'll be showing you two vastly different projects.

How are they different?
They're different in the sense that they depict two different moods.

Let's begin with the card. (Project #1)

To be honest, I dislike making sympathy cards. They make me sad. This is my second sympathy card till date.

But, there are times in life when the inevitable happens and you need to make a sympathy card. v_v

The Peek-a-boo Designs Sympathy stamp is perfect for sympathy cards and projects.

It's got a sentiment in a nice bold font and what I like about it is that it keeps things simple. No weird poetry or phrase, just a simple heartfelt statement.

The first thing I did was stencil in the background using the Leafy Delight stencil. After that stamped the sentiment and lastly, embellishments.

When you set out to make a sympathy card, here are a few pointers to keep in mind :

1. CAS is the way to go.
Clean and simple project should be your way to approach a sympathy card. The key word here is, understated.

2. Think about the colors.
In my project I've chosen the color pink because pink is associated with healing.

3. Go slow on embellishments.
Avoid overloading embellishments on a sympathy card.
A good idea would be to use matte / subtle gloss finish embellishments instead of the sparkly and attention-grabbing ones.
In my project here, I've used Enamel Dots from PABD.

Now, let's check out Project #2 :

Here's my second project. It's kinda like a blast from the past because this ATC features a prior release but in my defense, it's the very first time that I've used it! ^__^

As you can see this ATC depicts all of the things I love. It's bright, fun, happy and has oodles of glitter!

I've used the Summer Cooler stamp set by PABD for this project.

Tips :

1. In such a vibrant project, it is easy to neglect the sentiment. To avoid doing that, a good idea would be to mat it on another card base and give it some height using foam.

2. Don't be afraid of using a lot of color. As long as you remember which colors co-ordinate with each other (example : pink & blue, green & orange, pink & green etc.) you will always end up with a good result.

List of products from PABD :

I hope you liked my projects and learnt something new today.

Thank you so much for stopping by! *Hugs*
