Wishing you Love and Laughter

My good friend Erica got married not too long ago. There was no time for me to prepare anything before the big day so I made this card and sent it to her with other Pakistani goodies. Sadly the card and goodies got lost in the mail :(  But  I got to take a couple of pics of this card before sending it.

I used Kristina's template to create those great layers, I cut the heart shapes by hand with an exacto knife. I used Ranger's embossing powder and Cosmo Cricket from their UPCycle collection.

I really like the results. what do you guys think?

Later!

What do these have in common?

Hello there!

I am soo happy and I am dying to let you know why. I am just not sure how it works and I promise I will let you know as soon as I am sure but I rather wait and see what happens before I tell you.

In a different note..tell me, what do these cards have in common?! Yes, you got it! it is the colors and o course the paper. I have come up with another way to use the same piece of paper to create several cards.

This one you'll notice is not very straight but I liked the idea. I used Cosmo Cricket 6x6 paper a tons of bit of paper I carried with me all the way from America. I also used Hero Art stamps, versamark and embossing powder of course.

Of all these cards I think this one was the funnest to create. Lots of itsy bits to do with a great result ( in my opinion anyway) I should be more humble and let you be the judges!

Again, tons of bits of paper, staping, embossing, sutting gluing... sigh, fun, fun, fun.

Last but not least, butterflies! I heard they are very IN these days I don't have many to different kinds of butterflies so you will be seeing these several times for a while.

Well, I am truly can't wait to let you know but I promise as soon as it happens I will come and blog about it!

Many hugs and thank you for passing by and read!

Thanks Chick Colour

Hello there!

Have you ever heard the saying " We'll just have to make do"? I have actually had it in my head for the last 8 months. So with that in mind I have come up with ideas to make the cards I WOULD make IF I had the proper materials. So for this one I cut and made my own "Stencil" kind of stamp with the letters.

I think it turned out well except I won't be able to use the template anymore I kind o ruined it with versamark plus I chose the wrong material to make it.

Anyway... I would love to hear about what improvisation you have made to made cards... if you do have one please let me know!

Many hugs! and thanks for visiting!

Thanks Chic!

Good afternoon or morning or evening...

Hope you are all great today. To tell you the truth, I am a bit tired but excited to show you this card. I know there is nothing really special to this card, I just really like it!!

I have actually thought of making a series of the same kind of black and white cards with itsy bits of color. The only color I added on this one was a 3/4" stripe of Cosmo Cricket paper I used at the border of the card.

I also love the chic from a stampin up set I can't remember the name of... but I am telling you that chic is quite versitile, don't you think? I also added the heart with one of the Hero Arts stamp and some of my hand writing.

Easy to put together, fast and cute, what do you think?

Hugs!

Every Bit

Hello everyone... AGAIN!

I have been very happy with the Cosmo Cricket paper I got a few weeks ago. Bu I have also become very aware of how little paper I have and the so very SMALL chances of getting some more any time soon. So because of that I have become a RECYCLER. I've always tried to use every single piece of paper but nowadays I think twice before throwing anything. from circles to small corners.

So I have used couple of pieces of the 6x6 Cosmo Cricket paper to create several cards with different sentiments. Here they are:

On this one (on top)I started to put small and big pieces together...

Fot this one I was already a bit out of paper and cardstock. can you tell? hehehe.

I was trying to post these cards in the same order I made them but made the mistake of thinking I could change the order easily. Don't you hate when Blogger just doesn't make it wasy for you?!

Well, on this one (on top) I created still had a bit of paper. and created a window card.

Ohhhh on this one I still had a lot and made a circle and used a big piece to place on the side of the card again with KWerner inspiration!

Well, so these are all the cards I made with three pieces of 6x6 and help of leftover color cardstock.

Have you done such a challenge?! I mean using specific quantity of paper to make x number of cards?! If so let me know and tell me about how you rationed the paper.

Hugs!

Wishes and Laughter!

Hello everyone,

I know it's been a long time. I have been as busy as a bee. Work has been hectic but today I am ready to take our spring break vacation and enjoy it. We will be going to Thailand for couple of weeks and will be hopefully, refreshed and ready to face the rest of the school year...

So, I was very happy to be able to order a few little things. I actually order paper (6x6) from cosmo Cricket and a few other necesary things. I couldn't believe it made all the way to Islamabad in great conditions! Quite expensive but it definitely help get my creative juices flowing again!

So I have been busy creating cards inspired by those amazingly creative people I follow. Here are some of the cards I have created with time.

Yes, I tried to have a KWerner kind of background picture.. I think I will stick with what I know works for me. Plus I do't have that much designer paper to do this.

I used Hero Art stamp sentiment along with Cosmo Cricket paper and some leftover Chipboard I brought with me.

I was isnpired by Kwerner and cut 3/4" piece from the bottom of the card and replaced it with cosmo cricket paper. I really like this card and how it turned out.

I will edit the size of the other photos and will post them ... hopefully today before we leave to Thailand. Thanks for reading my blog! see yah soon!
