'STAY HOME STAY SAFE' SIMPLE MIXED MEDIA CARD WITH PICTORIAL

Hello my dear crafty and non crafty friends! How are you guys doing? I hope you are safe and sound at your homes. #StayHomeStaySafe

Today I wanted to share a 'simple mixed media card' which I've been longing to. I don't know why my heart is drawing towards warm and pastel shades and a grungy look. I also like using bright colors on my cards but I prefer being more pastel. If you like Mixed Media and if you are a beginner, this post would be helpful for you.

MY CARD DETAILS

I started by drawing a house on the card front and cut it using Sizzix Multi Tool.

Then I adhered this pattern paper, from PaperMania, to the card front.

I flip it over and did as shown above :P

This is how the card looks from front.

Then I applied a wash of white gesso by Papericious.

I stamped the images from Mudra's Critter Party in Versafine Sepia Ink and water colored with Faber-Castell Pens.

Fussy cutting done!

Onto this panel, I applied a water wash of gold pigment paint.

I also colored the cheese cloth with the same pigment paint.

I let the panel and cheese cloth dry for sometime. Meanwhile I adhered this bright yellow card stock by Sizzix to the main card base.

I adhered the cheese cloth over it.

And placed this panel over it.

Finally I adhered the animals as shown above and also added few splatters of black paint. For the sentiment I used alpha stickers by 'Creative Retreat' phrasing 'Stay Home'.

A FEW MORE SHOTS FOR YOU

I created a scene - these animals love to stay at home during this pandemic, by adhering the animals half inside and half outside. And I wanted that bright yellow color peek through the house. I added little details to the alpha stickers to pop on the busy background. 

I hope you like the card and I hope you feel inspired. Thank you so much for stopping by and I'll see you next time :)

FIVE SIMPLE BIRTHDAY CARDS FOR MEN WITH SIZZIX GEOMETRIC MASK THINLIT DIES

Hello my dear lovely crafters, how are you?

Today I have not one or two but five cards to share with you all. These are all the Simple Birthday Cards for men in our lives. Be it your father or your brother or your husband or your boy friend or just anybody, these cards would be absolutely perfect for them. I really kept it simple as I don't want to add any bling or embellish it with any shine as this would be for men ;) I used Sizzix Geometric Mask Thinlit Die to make my cards.

visit sizzix.co.uk & sizzix.com for more inspiration and education.

CARD DETAILS

I started by simply selecting the card stock colors for my cards. I have already planned the card designs a couple of days ago so it was easy for me to execute the design.

This Geometric Mask thinlit die set contains five thinlits. I ran each thinlit die with the selected card stock through the BigShot Plus Machine.

By the way I used Sizzix Card Stock as my panels. Once my die-cuts are ready, I adhered them over the card front with Tacky Glue.

I felt something was missing in this card so I hand drew a couple of lines with the black permanent marker.

This card is already looking like a cupcake, right? Oh yeah! You can use those die-cuts as clouds as well. :)

And this one is my favourite among all. The background was created by running the dotted thinlit die through BigShot Machine several times.

Once I adhered all the panels, I added splatters of black ink to some cards and I didn't add the splatters for the rest.

Once the splatters dry, I stamped and foam mounted the Birthday Sentiments to the cards.

And that's all for today. I hope you had fun. Thank you so much for stopping by and I will see you soon! :)

COUNTRY CANINES ON LANDSCAPE BORDER | SIZZIX

Hello my dear crafty friends, welcome back! :)

Today I have a card with Country Canines on Landscape Border. These are the names of the respective dies I used in this project. Pretty cool, huh? These dogs are looking smart with their Jackets, hat and boots on. Visit sizzix.co.uk and sizzix.com for more education and inspiration.

CARD DETAILS

This card design is very simple, I didn't want to add anything christmasy as the card design itself speaks about Christmas :D

I die-cut the dogs out of Sizzix Card Stock with Sizzix SideKick Machine. These are the thinlits from Country Canines.

I paired them with accessories to look ever more smarter. 

I also die-cut the Landscape Border thinlit die with Sizzix Card Stock through SideKick Machine. To give life to the card, I attached light yellow card stock behind the windows and doors. This added so much depth to the card, right?

I adhered the Landscape Border over the card front and also adhered the dogs as well.

Added splatters of white pigment ink to mimic the snow. Also stamped the sentiment from CP designs in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

And that wraps up today's post. I hope you like the sweet little card. :)

Entering this card for Simon Says Stamp Monday Let's Get Ready For Christmas Challenge and CAS Sunday Challenge #165 Make a masculine card.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN | SIZZIX

Hello and welcome back! I usually don't celebrate Halloween and it's not my thing at all but I like making cards with Halloween stuff like stamps, dies, stencils and etc.. You can check my previous post about Happy Ghosts Card HERE. I got this crazy idea, the ghost coming out from the pumpkin, as soon as I saw the Bigz Happy Halloween Die by Sizzix. I made this card several weeks ago and hadn't got  a chance to publish it as our house was filled with guests. Hence here is the card for you, I hope you like it :)

CARD DETAILS

The Sizzix card stock is highly textured and rich in look, I picked a few colors that are very close this season i'e., blue, green and orange. I ran the die through the Bigshot Plus Machine.

I distressed the edges of the background with Chipped Sapphire and Vintage Photo, pumpkin with Vintage Photo and the ghost with Black Soot and Vintage Photo Distress inks. I ran one of the dies from Geometric Mask Set through SideKick Machine with Black Card Stock. That would become the base for the Pumpkin.

I adhered all the elements and created a scene as if the ghost is coming out from the Pumpkin. Also adhered a sentiment strip on top of the card.

To add more depth and to add beauty to the card, I added clear star sequins. Do you like it?

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon :)
