Mango Showers...

The pre-monsoon rains are here in Kerala... Mornings are cold and I spent most of them cozily sleeping wrapped in my blanket.... This weekend it rained all through the morning...  I was so lazy to get any of my college work done.... So I sat and made few cards. Actually they are not so pretty or anything. But what the heck... I thought I will share it here.... 

 




I am not such a big fan of monsoons....Its all cold, wet and cloudy.... Just not my cup of tea.... I love bright warm days. Anyways I will upload more pictures of Kerala monsoon soon.... 

Bye for now...

Hearts and Stars

This is a card I made using Bo Bunny 'I heart Stars' stamp set. I stamped the hearts and stars randomly on the background. On the left corner I made a border using Simple Stories Say Cheese washi tape strips. I didn't know where to use those washi tape strips. I brought it expecting it to be washi tape roll and I was quite confused what to do with the strips. Anyway for this card it worked out quite well. I put on some bead embellishments alongside to give more dimension to the card. For the sentiment I used Avery Elle Laurels stamp set again. I seriously need to get more sentiment stamp sets. So that is on top of my shopping list now. Then for the finishing touch drew a qoute symbol with my glitter glue and placed a green bead on a corner of the sentiment. And there you go...That's the card







Next post maybe be a little delayed. This month I am having so much college work to complete and it might take up all my time. Let's see.... For now bye guys...

Carpe Diem...

Hey there...

So today I am sharing a card which is pretty easy to make and is one of my favorites among the ones I made so far. I love pattern papers and I am trying to collect as many as possible. I generally buy 6x6 paper pads. Well, 6x6 paper pads are a lot cheaper and it works pretty well for me. So for this card I used just a pattern paper and minimal stamping (Just for the sentiment 'Hello'). Now, the paper pad I used is by Simple Stories called Carpe Diem. It is just adorable. The paper quality is obviously quite exceptional and it has so many adorable patterns. And many possible cut outs. 

For the card I chose the following pattern paper from the pad.




Since the paper itself had a flower image on the corner I didn't go for extra stamping. Which makes this card quite easy to make. All you need is the paper pad and some embellishments.



I sent out this card for my friends who are celebrating their first wedding anniversary. 






Hope you liked the card... Until next time..Bye... :)

Laurels

As soon as I got the Avery Elle Laurels stamp set I made lot of cards with it and was sending out few of them to my friends and family. It such a adorable stamp set. I am so in love with it. Here is one the cards I made with it. 




Shine all the way....

Here is a super glittery card. 

Randomly place stars and sequins and there you have it : the background. I used the star image from Heidi Swap mini stamp set called Party. You can also draw the star images with copic markers or any other permanent ink. 



I used a banner cut out from cardstock paper and stamped "thinking of you" from Avery Elle Laurels stamp set and pasted it on a craft cardstock backdrop for contrast. Added few more sequins on the corner of the sentiment and there you have it. A simple easy to make shiny starry card.
