Heartfelt Creations and CardMaker Blog Hop

Hello friends, today we designers from CardMaker blog are doing a blog hop showcasing products from Heartfelt Creations.
Here is my card for today...

To create my card; I used Decorative Oval die on a white card base and embossed it using cuttlebug machine; I used the same die to die cut it out of a scrap piece of printing paper, then I used the negative piece and masked around the embossed area and did some sponging using distress inks and Delicata golden glitz ink. The stamp is from Fuchsia Clusters Cling Stamp Set; I stamped the flower on Crafters Companion white cardstock and colored it using Copics; then adhered it using foam squares. The sentiment is stamped using watermark pigment ink and embossed using white embossing powder, I also added few enamel dots.

Here is a close up:

Hope you liked my card.

Hello friends, we are having a new challenge over at A Blog Named Hero and the theme this time is

And as we are collaborating with Lawn Fawn this month; I used Ready Set Snow for my card today and here is my card..

I took a white panel and stamped the images from the set and colored using copics; then masked the colored imaged and stamped the trees; masked the trees and did distress ink blending for the background. Then I used Dove Art Snow writer to create the snow. The sentiment is stamped on a colored cardstock using watermark pigment ink and embossed using silver embossing powder and cut around it; the main panel is also layered on the same colored cardstock. The card itself is a white card base and I used design paper from Lawn Fawn Let's Bokeh.

trick or treat

Hello friends,
I colored up another two cute monsters from the Simon Says Stamp "Monster Hugs" set (You can check the first card here).

First I stamped (2nd generation stamping with black ink) both the monsters onto Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock; then I hand drew the pumpkin basket, bunny ears and eye lashes using pencils; colored the monsters using Copics. Then took recollections 100lb white panel and colored the panel using distress ink and foam blender. Then die-cut all the elements from recollections 80lb black cardstock; dies are from Lawn Fawn, Clearly Besotted, and Top Dog Dies; adhered everything directly to the colored panel and used foam squares to adhere the monsters. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Trick or Treat" set. I added glossy accents to the monster's eyes and glitter to the basket, heart, stars and bats.

BOOYAH

Hello friends, I am playing along with The Daily Marker 30 Day challenge on Instagram and today I did some no-line coloring on these cute monsters from Simon Says Stamp "Monster Hugs"

I took a white panel and die-cut it using an oval die and then worked on the oval die-cut; first I did some ink sponging on the background for a spooky sky (don't ask me what colors I used, I don't remember :D ). Then I used grass die from Lawn Fawn, and the stars and moon dies are from Top Dog Dies. The grass and stars are directly adhered the oval die. The monsters and moon is added using foam squares.
I adhered the negative panel to a white card base using foam dots and then inlaid the oval die in place, which is adhered using a less dimensional foam tape.
The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn which is stamped using watermark ink and embossed using white embossing powder, and adhered using foam squares.
Finally I added glossy accents to the monsters eyes and lots of glitter. Here is a close up:

Hope you liked my card. I really had fun coloring the monsters and creating this card.

Lil' Inker Designs & CardMaker Blog Hop

Hello friends, we are having a blog hop with the super amazing Lil' Inker Designs. I am super excited to have a chance to play with their products!!!
We were asked to create any occasion card using fall colors showcasing their amazing products.

I made two cards for the hop today, here is my 1st card:

 

I used distress inks and water colored some fall colors (olive green, fired brick, ripe persimmon, scattered straw) and colored few strips of Tim Holtz water color paper.
The images are from Perfect Pair stamp set which is stamped on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored them using copics.
I glued all the water colored strips directly on a white card base , I also glued some strips of gold foil cardstock from DCWV; the colored images are adhered using foam squares. I die cut the alphabets from a red cardstock using Mixed and Stitched Alphabet Die Set and adhered that also using foam squares.

I added some glitter to all the images, here is a close up:

And here is my 2nd card:

First I took Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and stamped the coffee cups from Coffee Talk Stamp set using MFT black licorice waterproof ink, I masked the coffee cup in the front to stamp the cups in the back; I used Hero Arts watercolor wheel to color the whole image. Once everything was dry I did some layered die cutting; using Mixed and Stitched Alphabet Die Set first I die cut the words from the water colored panel then die cut the word from four separate scraps of white cardstock. This created four exact cuts which I then adhered together to create a thick, chipboard-like embellishment for dimension
Here is a close up:

I added lots of glitter to the image and added sequins for embellishment.

Hope you liked my card.

Happy Haunting

Hello friends, I have a last card for Top Dog Dies, to share with you. 

I got to play with the new Haunted House Die Set and this is my favorite card of all really had fun making this card.

I started with sponging a white piece of cardstock using some distress inks (spiced marmalade, fired brick, seedless preserve and faded jeans); for the moon I masked the area with a circle die-cut piece of paper before adding any colors. Then I die-cut all the pieces out of black cardstock, and the piece behind the house is die-cut out of yellow cardstock (all the cardstocks are from recollections). I glued the hill, fence and bats directly to the panel and the haunted house and tombs are adhered using foam squares.
The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. Here is a close up:

Thank You so much for the opportunity!!! I really really enjoyed playing with the new Fall/Halloween dies, it was such a pleasure guest designing!! :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
