Congratulations on Baby Girls Arrival

As you all must have noticed, it is that time of the year when most people are blessed with cute little people, who brighten the world. So the card I am sharing today, was made to congratulate new parents on the arrival of their baby girl.

Ramadan 2018: Card Tutorial

 
With Ramadan only 23/24 days, I decided to make some fun vibrant, Ramadan Kareem cards for loved ones. I captured the entire process on video, to share with everyone, so that you too feel inspired to make some of your own.

In this video tutorial I have used stamps from Altenew, Kaisercraft and Prima Marketing Inc. Instead of using distress inks, I opted to use pigment inks, by Color Box, and black Archival Ink.


Have a wonderful day!

You are Incredible

This card is inspired by all the incredible people, those precious gems, who make life beautiful. 

The front panel is actually a bookmark design, which I water colored some time back.

Beautiful weather in Karachi today! The perfect day for water coloring. I got these coloring prints from #phuljari , at their exhibit at a craft show (not sure when). I #watercolored it using the good old #pelican #watercolor (the regular ones.. for kids usually). #rainydaywellspent #dowhatmakesyouhappy #playingwithcolors #usewhatyouhave #feelinghappy #itsagoodday #painting @phuljhari #localdesign

As you can see in the above picture, its actually a pretty long panel, and so I used half of it for this card. I created the base layer by stamping the edges to create the border, and the then stamped the sentiment on Kraft card.

Added some glossy accents to add dimension to the design.

And thats all folks!

Scrapbook: To My Soulmate

"To My Soulmate" is a customized album, made in shades on grey and blue. Since this scrapbook was a to be gifted to a gentleman, I avoided using any flowers and ribbons. Used lots of diecuts on the cover, and heat embossed some details.

The scrapbook contains over 20 mats, and lots of space for journal-ling.

Kept the box grey, with lots of texture and fun elements.

Added frames, cogs and gears, hidden tags, pockets, and booklets all through the album.

And, thats all folks!
Have a great day,
Happy Crafting
