Loads of Inspirations by Piyu

Hey Friends!

Hope you have checked the latest release from PABD. If not, check it here.

Today, I have 8 cards made using the products from the latest release.

So Here's the first one-

And here are the steps:
1) First I created the rainbow background using the "Falling Triangles" stencil and distress inks.
  2) Then I added the sentiment using "Smile" die. 
3)I fussy cut the leaves from "Floral Zen" stamp set and colored them and layered it all to make the card.

My second card is a love / wedding card

For this card-
1) I created the background using "Quarter Foil" stencil using Distress inks.
2) Then I added the silhouette of couple using "Couple" die.
3) Finally I added the sentiment from the "Sunshine" 

For the next 2 cards, I stamped the beautiful floral image from "Floral Zen" stamp set.

I colored and fussy cut the image and added the sentiment also from the same stamp set.

Next is the "You are so amazing" card
1) For this card, I created the background using the Damask Delight stencil and gray ink.
2) I created the sentiment using a combination of stamp from "With Love Daisy" stamp set and "Amazing "die.
3) Finally I added the flowers from "Floral Zen" stamp set.

The next 3 cards are made using the cute "Pawsome" stamp set.
1) I colored and fussy cut the images from "Pawsome" stamp set.
2) I created the background using the "Quarter Foil" stencil and distress inks.
3) I added the sentiment from "A little note" stamp set.
1) I created the background by first blending distress ink on card stock. Then using "Failing Triangles" I added more ink to add the triangles.
2) I cut the bigger triangle using the "dual stitched triangle" die.
3) Finally I added the sentiment from the same stamp set "Pawsome".


For my final card -
1) I created the background using "Falling triangle" stencil and distress inks.
2) Then I added the triangles cut using the "Dual stitched triangle dies"
3) I added the colored and fussy cut images and sentiment from "Pawsome" stamp set.

Playing with 'Floral Zen' Stamp!

Hey there!!
This is Ruchi from Ruchi's Crafeteria..! 

This is my last post as PABD DT. It was a great time I've spent here along with my fellow crafters and all team members. Totally fun spending 3 months here. :)

Today sharing an article about a Greeting Card which I've created using my designed stamp PABD- ' Floral Zen'. You can find all the new release HERE

Here is my Card...


It's an immense pleasure to do craft with your own designed products. I'm one lucky girl who got this opportunity to design for Peek-a-Boo Designs. So very happy with the outcome of this set.  Hope you all are liking this stamp set as its very close to my heart.! :)

So let's start the procedure of this card. I've created a video too and tried to capture all the coloring in that. :) You can find the link below.
First I've taken watercolor paper and heat embossed this floral image using white embossing powder. Started coloring using my all time favorite Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. After finishing all the coloring, stamped the sentiment 'Thanks A Million' using black ink. Put that aside and took my card base and adhered golden strips both the side of my cardstock. Then adhered my colored panel on the card base. Added ribbon and some sequins here n there to finish my card. 

Here is a close up look of my coloring..


You can find the video HERE. Though the coloring is presenting the image vertically as I later decided to make a horizontal card... ;-)

Dedicating this card to Vidushi :)..... Thanks a million Sweetie for selecting my design for your stamp and having faith in me. Sending lots of love & hugs!! <3 

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

Crafting inspirations with Vinita


Hello, Peek-a-boo Designs fans!
Vinita here!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

I wanna love this month amazing release with so many versatile themes included my designed stamp once again, Happy me, Pawsome:)
From critters to hearts, florals to succulents, new dies and geometrical shaped stencils, whats not! So hurry up and grab yours before they went out of stock!!! You can check the new release here.


So today, this is my inspirational post!

Card 1

That Heart Flutter stamp set is so pretty and perfect for Valentines and can be used with spring and summer theme too with such cute sentiments!


  • I simply started with Heart flutter image and stamped on a watercolor white sheet in black archival ink. Using Zig Clean color real brush markers, I watercolored the image with wet technique and after drying properly fussy cut it!

  • On a stitched rounded rectangle white panel I stamped the sentiment from the same set and added the image to the top centre.
  • Now tied it with a very thin pink ribbon with a black one too. Added this focal panel to my pink card base with another layer of a black border.
  • Finished it off with a cute wooden heart! The image and sentiment say it all!

Card 2

This is always difficult for me to create any creation with a Masculine theme but glad,  I came up with such an elegant card using Falling Triangles stencil!!
You always worked with falling hearts and I bet you will love to work with Falling Triangles now, so versatile!!



  • I started by placing my falling triangle stencil on a white CS. Applied black pigment ink as it takes time to dry off and added some clear gloss embossing powder for a gloss effect on these falling triangles, heat embossed them all. See a close pic:



  • To achieve the inky look on this Celebrate (yet to be released) text, I used two of shades from ZIG and passing through this die from my Bigshot. I didn't remove the text from the die as I placed some pop dots and then placed on the panel.
  • Added the sentiment with love from Pretty Roses stamp set in black archival and ended up with placing some black enamel triangles! Now adhered this panel with dimension foam on a card base!


Card 3

Birthday and celebrations cards are always in demand, so the next card is related to this theme only with shaker cuteness! And you know the Pawsome stamp set is designed by me:). The cat images are so cute even you can add them to your scrapbooking too.




  • I started with stamping two of the cat images from Pawsome stamp set on a textured watercolor paper in archival black. Colored the images using my Staedtler watercolor pencils. Fussy cut them.


  • Die cut polaroid frame 5 times to make my shaker one and one out of black foam. Added an acetate sheet. The sentiment is heat embossed in opaque bright white from the same set.
  • Die cut smile text 2 times. adhered them together and applied clear Versamark embossing ink. heat embossed it using clear gloss powder, love the thickness and shiny result I achieved!


  • On a textured white card base randomly stamped some birthday elements uncolored. In the centre, I placed my falling triangles stencil and applied wilted violet DI with a soft look. Now placed some different shaker elements and added one of the cute cat images inside and adhered that Polaroid frame. Placed the other cat image on the polaroid panel.


  • Now add one of the colored cupcake images with dimension with that cat. I applied glossy accent and before drying added white iridescent glitter to it. It is giving an impression as the cat holding this shiny cupcake!

  •  
  • In the end, I added one of the black rhinestones for letter i dot(smile).
Card 4

Another card using the same Pawsome stamp set with a two-tone Inscription technique. I am in love with this technique, enjoy the steps with me!

  • On my white color textured panel I masking some masking tape to create the stripes.

  •  
  • Using wilted violet DI I gave a look of ombre stripes and try to keep the distance equal as in mine!
  • Now proceed for the two-tone Inscription technique. For this, you required bold and large sentiment as I chose for this card. The sentiment is from Pretty Roses stamp set. I used my Misti for this technique.

  • I started with black archival ink. I masked that stripe where I wanted to show the sentiment. Now first part is ready.
  • Now I masked those two stripes where I stamped the part of the text in black ink. On the same sentiment using clear embossing pad, I heat embossed the remaining sentiment in opaque bright white. Remember to clean the dust particles carefully before heat embossing if any.



  • I am so glad to see the result and if any broken line is there than carefully used my black liner to cover that part:)
  • Now time to stamp the image. For this card, I choose another cat image from Pawsome stamp set. I colored the image again using Staedtler watercolor pencils. Higlighted the gift box and a tail heart with glossy accent and sprinkle the glitter. Added glossy accents to cat eyes for dimension, fussy cut it.


  • Die cut one of the Stitched triangles out of a vellum sheet. Using Falling Triangles stencil, I heat embossed those tiny and cute triangles in silver. Placed my cat on it using pop dots and adhered it to my panel. On a piece of the black stripe, I added another sentiment, especially from the Pretty roses stamp set and placed it using pop dots.


So finally how do you like this technique, isn't it awesome!!!
