Exploding-Box Gazebo Card

 

Hi, Hope you all are doing well. 

This is an exploding box card I made for my brother-in-law's wedding as a gift. Wanted to give them something unique as they are very special. 

Lots of trial, error and frustration while making this card. Finally this is the result. 

Love the way it turned out, even with all its mistakes...

Learned a lot while making this card. 

The gazebo itself was taken from Designs by Miss Mandee. 

The cake, stand and the box were designed by me. The height of the box is about 6.5 inches and the width is about 3.75 inches. The box has 4 pocket to put notes and so on. 

The writings are done using foil & foil tool on cricut.

Materials used: Glitter card stock, Pearl textured card stock, double sided foam tape, glue, accents...

and of course my Cricut Maker to make it happen.

New Born Baby Card

Hey Everyone, 

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

It's also because I hadn't really done much crafting recently. Had taken a bit of a break from it and that break had become longer and longer for some reason or the other. Getting back to it slow. 

    So here I am with a simple and easy card I made for a friend of mine who just had a baby. I don't usually do much print and cut for my cards but I was short on time and needed to make something fast, simple but cute at the same time.

   This card I saw online sometime ago. She had a very clear tutorial there. So I decided to make it using my Cricut maker. 

This card folds flat for easy postal. Here I used Recollection Shimmer card-stock, acetate and my 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.

Mothers Day Card- Swing Fold

Hi Everyone,

I know mothers day is long gone and  most of us crafters are already preparing for fall and christmas but... here's a card I made sometime ago for my mother in-law for mothers day. She loves to stitch so I thought it was perfect card for her...

She actually taught me how to make these beautiful smocked dresses, which I really enjoyed making. I don't make them as much any more. It takes a lot of time to make and my daughters are all growing up and they hardly wear dresses anymore.  

Anyway I feel this card can be made for any one who loves stitching and not for just Mothers day.  

Here I used Core coloured cardstocks, permanent vinyl from Cricut and foam pop dots for dimensions. All the little stickers were cut out of the vinyl.                       

Hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it.

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.

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!!

P.s: Comments and feedback is very much appreciated.

Spring Owl Box Card

Hi Everyone, hope you all are doing well.

I am here again with another Spring themed box card. I thoroughly enjoy making cards with little intricate details, so that every time you look at the card you find something new.

It folds flat for easy mailing. This is again made using my Cricut maker. The butterflies were cut using a punching machine set I have had... I don't know maybe for 8 to 10 years I guess.   

At the back of the card I for the golden border I used Foil transfer kit for maker and drew with purple glitter pen using the drawing option. You don't have to use either of them if you don't have any.

 

 Hope You enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed creating it.

P.s: Check Free File Folder for the link for this card. If you are design space member, it will cut for free.

Easel Spring Card-2

 Hi everyone, 

How have you all been doing? It's been long since I have posted or written anything. I have been crazy busy and a bit lazy here with covid vaccinations and my daughters schools.....

So anyway here I am. I have been still experimenting with my easel cards. 

This is another one I created. I am super happy the way it came out. But the sad part is, I realised my file for this project is now corrupted after the latest update of Cricut design space. So I will not be able to share this project until I remake the whole thing over again. 

This is how it looks when you open and make it stand. It folds flat for easy mailing. All the images here were from design space, cut using my Cricut maker. The birds and the grasshopper were print and cut.

The side view to see how it is standing.  

Below you can see the cut pieces and the assembly. This is just to give you the basic idea of what and how I did.

Hope you enjoy this card as much I enjoyed making it!

P.s: Comments and feedback will really be appreciated....

Spring Easel Card

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. 

I sure had a very busy weekend and a very busy week so far. So I have been trying something new... I saw these easel cards sometime ago on the internet, I really wanted to try them out. 

Then while browsing the internet for ideas I came across Kittie Caracciolo's website (Kittie Kraft) and loved her cards. 

Though I loved her cards I wanted to create something different. The lights in my brain clicked on and here we are.

This is my take on easel card. I am very happy the way it came out. I think it's a perfect card for spring or for Mothers day. 

All the images are cut out of card stock. 

For the frame I used foam board cut into 1/4 inch wide long strips.

I used pop dots of different sizes to give the 3d effect.

Hope you do enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it !!!

P.s: Comments and feedback will really be appreciated....

Thank You Card

One summer I decided I wanted to learn something new and more useful. Our community centre was offering free knitting classes!! Yay, very excited....bought new knitting needles, wool... attended 4 class session, very proud of myself. The session finished, the needles disappeared, the wool disappeared and I am back to point "A" with my cricut and my card-stocks. 

Anyway this was a Thankyou card for my knitting teacher. 

Here I used 65lb brown cardstock, pink polkadot embossed cardstock and my cricut maker.

Hope you all enjoyed seeing my creations..
