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 Easel Card-3

Hi everyone, I am here again today with another Spring themed easel card. This card is again made using my Cricut maker. Can you believe that I had to cut more than 50 mats to get all the details (56 to be precise), crazy right... 

I know you can use something called snap mat on your iPhone/iPad cricut app but but I do not have iPhone/iPad. Also I find I am more comfortable using a laptop or a desktop while designing.  

Here I used 65lb card stock of various colours, foam pop dots of various sizes, glue, foam board strips (for the frame) and Cricut maker for cutting. All the images are from design space.

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

P.s: Comments and feedback will really be 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!

Flower Box Card

 

Hi Friends!

 For my very first post I wanted to show you this flowery box card I made few weeks ago. I made it because it reminded me of spring and all the colours it brings along with it. It was for my daughter's music teacher as a get well soon card. 

I like the idea of pop up box cards because of their 3d effect. Most of the images are from Cricut Design space. I used Cricut maker to cut. The card can be folded flat and put in an envelope for easy mailing. 

Hope you Enjoy this card as much as I Enjoyed creating it!!

P.s. I have posted link to this project under Free Files Folder if you want to make it. I would love to know how it comes out. 

It will be free to make for Cricut Access subscribers.
