Baby Dresser- Side Step Card

Hey Everyone, 

It's been a long time since I have posted or written anything. 

Last few weeks just flew by. 

My in-laws were over from Canada for a few days. Had a really nice time with them as we have not seen them for more than a year and a half in person. Then it was my older daughter's birthday. She turned 15!... gosh I feel old. But any way here I am...

 I made this card for a friend who had a baby boy. This was also my first time trying to make side step card. Making this card was a lot of fun and learned a lot of new stuff.

What I really enjoyed making were the teeny tiny clothes. It reminded me of my girls when they were babies.

  Here I used few different types of card stocks, double sided foam dots for 3d element, and my cricut maker of course....                 

Hope you enjoy my cards as much as I enjoy making them. 

P.s. Look for the link for this card under Free Files. If you are a Cricut access member it will cut for free.

Dragonflies

Hi Everyone,

I am here today with another shadow box. The image is from design space. I thought it was perfect for spring. I think I've told you all how much I love spring. 

Though this image was perfect...but I felt it needed more colours, so this is my take on it.

Also as you see I have made both of these a bit different. On the top image you see the black outline of the dragonflies is different from the dragonflies in the image below, It's because I was experimenting to see if permanent vinyl will stick to glitter card stock and how will it look. I think it looks pretty nice and also stuck very well.

On both the projects I used 65lb solid core card stock and glitter card stock from Recollections and Cricut, printed card stock for the background and various size foam pop dots as spacers. 

Hope you enjoy this shadow box as much as I enjoyed...

Parchment/ Vellum Embossed Card

Hi Everyone,

Today I wanted to share a card that I had made many years ago... way before I got my first Cricut or even knew a machine like Cricut existed. I made this card when I was living in India. While going through some of my cook books the other day I found this card tucked in. It brings back lots of memories, who knew making cards would become so much easier...

 

Anyway the flower and leaves were done on parchment paper and coloured using oil pastels. You draw on the back of the parchment paper using white ink and then emboss it using a ball point embossing tool.  As you start embossing, you will see that the parchment paper starts turns white. Once you have finished embossing you colour and blend it using blending medium. You colour on the back too. Once finished turn over and see the magic.... It can then be mounted on card stock.

Hope you enjoy my cards as much I enjoy making them!!
