Yep we generally ignore our old supplies and on creating stuffs from the new ones. So here is the time open your old supplies .. remove that small amount of dust from them .. and create some awesome project combining them with new ones.

** Please go through all the Rules/Challenge Guidelines for entering your creations to the challenge !!

See What i created for Inspiration  ---

Steps on how i made this card -

• Took a Neenah White Solar Card ...Stamped it with PABD Quilted Love BG Stamp with Pink Momento Ink & Distressed the whole card with Spun Sugar DI.
• Then Placed a Die cut label Distressed in Tumbled glass DI and layered it with PABD Gold CS & Die cut oval label .
• Stamped the Sentiment from PABD Positive Vibes Stamp Set.
• Then i heat embossed the peonies in white from Peonies love Stamp Set & colored all the flowers & leafs using DI.
• Arrange all the fussy cut flowers around the oval label & added a die cut flourish for extra interest. 
• finally added some matte gold sequins here n there for finishing touch.

Two Projects - One stamp set !!

Hello Girls...!! How you all are doing ??

Today is a very special for me ..guess why...?? ;) 

...

...

...

Its My Birthday.... so u can wish me here or everywhere :)

Ok..jokes apart ..This post of today is my focus post on "Flowers in a Jar Stamp Set" & I have created two very different Projects using the same stamp set ..!!
This is such a pretty n versatile stamp set and i have used my favorite flowers from this stamp set ;)

So here are my creations --

First one is " Double Slider Card " -

When you pull the flowers upward ...a small message tab peeps out from the bottom. i have a short video too on how it works (My 1st video) !!

Watch the short video of Slider Card in Action 

(Hit Like & Subscribe too if you like it )

Steps how i created this card -

1) For the base I stamped my jar image on the card stock n then masked it off with masking paper to stencil the background with embossing paste .

2)Then used Antique Linen & Vintage a photo DI to distress the whole panel .

3) Using a thin clear plastic sheet I created the slider mechanism and attached two tags on the ends of both sides of that plastic band. 

4) On upper tag I added stamped n colored flowers n one cute honey bee. Also cut a slit over the jar opening so that the tag having flowers can slide inside n outside n looks like that the flowers are attached to the jar !!

5) For below tag I stamped a lovely sentiment from Chirping away stamp set .

6) Also heat emboss the sentiment for front panel using the same flowers in a jar stamp !!

Second Project is a Mixed Media Message Board - SMILE

Steps for this project -

1)For this mixed media board I took PABD textured card stock.stick it on thick card board. Then applied generously a layer of gesso over it. Let it dry !!

2) Then with use of Stencils & texture paste created the stenciled patterns .

3) Sprayed with fireworks shimmer sprays.

4) Then took a wooden pattern paper..cut it in equal sized strips n distressed with vintage photo ink ...& using foam tape adhere all in the centre of layout.

5) For jar...I heat emboss the jar stamp on transparency ..fuzzy cut the jar n using foam tape again placed it on this wooden patterned panel. Before sticking the jar to the base I added the flower stems stamped n colored on card stock inside the jar ...so the jar looks like a little real glass jar.

6) For Finishing touch added twine around the jar with a pearl on it...2 honey bees here n there ...pollen strings & some tiny flowers on the top...& its finish !!

Hope you like my both attempts..!! Enjoy & Happy Crafting !!

Thanks for stopping by & taking time to comment !!

Stationery Box Tutorial + 3 Colorful Cards !!

Hi Everyone..How you all are doing ?? Today am going to share a Pictorial with all of you !! Yes now days i am trying to get out of my comfort zone & trying different things that with tutorial too !! ;) 

So now to my Tutorial -

I Made a Stationery Box and Used the most beautiful n versatile stamp "the Damask" Set!! Here you go - 

I Used Peek-a-boo Design's Black Card stocks which is very very sturdy & good for making albums n boxes of all sorts !! Also Used White Textured card Stock for stamping (as a Pattern Paper) Though this one is also very sturdy n having 300 gsm but i loved the textures & its good for stamping too !!The Rose Gold Card Stock from which I Made the Bow N Hearts is just awesome !! Do check out all the Card Stocks & Stamps Here!!

Enjoy the pictorial in which I mentioned all the dimensions but feel free to adjust them as per your needs.

and if you have any query do ask me through comments here ..i would love to answer !! :)

>> Take a 12*12 " Card Stock !! Score all along as per directions in pictures.

>> For Lid dimensions are given. Also see how i created my own pattern paper using Damask Set.

>> Paste all the cut pieces of pattern paper to decorate the box !!

So guys i think i didn't bored you much & you really liked this attempt of Mine ?

Dont go away ...i am sharing a bonus tutorial too ---- yes this full post is picture heavy ..so just relax n watch it !! ;)

Card - 1 : As Holi is near so i thought to share a colorful Holi Card using " Holi Hai " Stamp set from Peek-a-boo Designs India !!

I Used a little bit of masking technique here . Let the pictures say all --

For finishing touch ups I added some colorful sequins which is my latest obsession ;)

Card -2 :  For this card i Used Jennifer McGuire's Over lap Stamping using " It's Plaid Time Stamp" from Peek-a-boo Designs India !! This stamp is also very very versatile & in so much trend!! We can create our own pattern papers with it !! I used Colorbox Pigment Inks for stamping. Firstly choose a point from where you wanna start your stamping ..i choose the top most corner so can reduce the chances of mistakes ;) Then keep on stamping in the same diagonal position with different colored inks.... .& while stamping further, just keep a single thing in mind that we need to overlap the previous stamped strip a little bit & when we do the same ..the two ink will give a very cool n beautiful effect after mixing with each other. 

See the steps --

Added some Heat Embossed Lotus From " Lotus Delight" Stamp Set and the Sentiment from Latest released Mini Stamp " Pixie Dust " .For final touch up added heart shaped stones from my stash !! See how colorful n classic it is looking !!

Card - 3 : Haww...finally the last one :p For this Card I again used " It's Plaid Time Stamp" from Peek-a-boo Designs India to build my background..this time i used solid wide strip as well diagonal strips stamps to create this beautiful n very colorful background with Pigment inks !!

 Have a look at the steps --

To complete the card i used " Be Good Mini Stamp Set " .Added some paper flowers and tiny heart shaped stones to finish it up !! Keep it as much simple as i could and i really loved the whole process of background building !!

I hope You Enjoyed this whole post & Please do not forget to participate in this Month's Challenge - Rainbow With Cloud : Create a Set !!
