CAS cards featuring Wild Flower Stamp

Hey Guys, Kirti here.

Mother is like a flower, each one unique and beautiful!!

When one thinks of gift to mom, flowers has to be there. Thats why, none of Mothers day card is complete without Floral touch.

CARD 1

Here is my take on Mothers day card using wild flower stamp by Expressions craft.

I have used heat embossing technique to create the floral border to my cardstock and have colored it random using zig markers. The sentiment I have used is the chipboard decorative embellishments by Expressions craft. These primed chipboard sentiments are ready to use, I have simply distressed it using Black soot distress ink.

For the base again have used the kraft cardstock by expressions craft.

I hope you like my take on heat embossed mothers day card.

CARD 2

For the second card,

I have used classic black & Gold combination.

I have heat embossed the image & Sentiment of wildflower stamp by expressions craft on black cardstock cut-out.I have used golden embossing powder with some sparkle shimmer to get some extra shine. Then have placed the ready top layer on the white card base and tada!!

The smaller size of card makes it perfect to be placed above your gift with some personalised msg!!

Easy and Quick cards with New Release Stencils

Hello friends!
Vinita here!

It's my first post of this month here and half of the month already flies so quickly!

Have you seen the new release in Stencil category, all the designs are just awesome for any craft medium? You can visit here at the store.

Today I am showcasing some quick and easy steps using stamps and stencils and they are fit for manly cards too!

Card 1

The card base is in Chrome Yellow color. Using my new stencil, I applied texture embossing paste and mixed it with silver glitter paste for shine, created the awesome geometric pattern. Let it dry properly.



I die cut a black stitched textured rectangle border. Die cut sentiments in black. 

Now on a textured silver sheet and on an acetate sheet, I stamped the butterfly image using Staz on Black ink which can be used on all non-porous surfaces and get perfect results. Fussy cut them and adhered the acetate one on the silver one for dimension.

Now placed the border using dimensions dot and placed the sentiments and butterfly too. Embellished it with enamel and pearl dots.


Card 2

Here is another card I came up with using the stencil and butterfly stamp!
Started by stencilling the vintage damask background on a smoky blue CS applied black pigment ink. Before drying the ink, I applied silver pearl powder on the ink as shown in the pic:





Now wrapped the focal panel with a frilled black satin ribbon and adhered to a cream color CS with dimensional dots.

Stamped the butterfly onto a light cream CS in black pigment ink and added the silver pearl touch to it, attached it on the ribbon.  Finished off the card with a sentiment and some rhinestones.

Card 3



On This, I used curved stencil in different distress inks and blended the picked raspberry ink at the top.





 Now at the bottom left corner, I stamped the picnic stamp set in black Archival ink and leave uncolored the image as I want to show the still life on this image that you can achieve easily with simplicity!



Now from the same stamp set, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it with bright opaque white embossing powder and added a die cut sentiment.

CAS with Panda

Hello crafty friends,

I am shylaa here to share some love on CAS cards

I love to make one layer card. It’s really fun focusing on the basics of cardstock, stamps, ink, and very little else to create cards. But CAS one layer card doesn't mean that it's easy to make sometimes but requires attention to detail, right?

For today's card, I created a stenciled background with weave pattern stencil from Expression stamps and distress inks by a blending tool. Stamped the panda wish stamp from expression stamps and fussy cut the image and adhered to the cardbase with 3D foam to give it a dimension. Sentiment is from the same stamp collection. Finished off my card by adding sequins

That’s all for today. Hope you loved my card and got some inspiration to try your own.



Supplies List:
1. Expression Stamp -Panda Wish
2. Expression Stencil - Weave Pattern
3. Ranger Distress Inks - Abandoned Coral
4. Blending tool & Stamping block
5. Sequins


 Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!
