Galaxy Card

Hello friends

I am back with a birthday greeting card.

I made a galaxy background for the first time. I always wanted to try galaxy for a long time.
When I saw that the new Craftyscrappers Ink Pads were so bright and pigmented, I thought to give it a try. As these inks are water-reactive, I also splattered some water and dabbed with tissue. I splattered some white acrylic paints.

I have used Magical Birthday stamp from Craftyscrappers. The sequins are from Papericious.
I have hand-written the sentiment.

Mother's day Card

Hello friends
Back with a greeting card, we were inspired by the TMS sketch. We have a stamp from Party Bears stamp set from Craftyscrappers. We masked off the sentiment-HB2U and instead, wrote Mom, thought it would be apt for a mothers' day card. Don't you all agree mothers are real heroes, they are really strong both physically and emotionally. They are there to help us whenever we need.
Our horoscope is Gemini, as we didn't have any suitable stamp or image, we thought the two bears could be used instead.

Dress shaped Gift Box

Hello friends,

We are here to share our DT inspiration post for Craftyscrappers using newly launched Craftyscrappers April Card Kit.

We have made a dress-shaped gift box, it can be used to give small gifts. It will definitely be a hit among young girls. We enjoyed experimenting with newly released ink-pads and dazzle paste.

Supplies used-
White card stock
Craftyscrappers Ink pad- Lavender
Dazzle paste- Orchid
Shimmer paste- Jingle bells
Embellishments
Paper doily
Pencil
Scissors

Method-
Draw the template on a white cardstock.
Dab the ink pad (lavender) on acetate or flat palette.
Take some dazzle paste, mix the ink and paste well using little bit of water. You will achieve a tint of lavender in the paste.

Paint this paste on the cardstock in the lower part of the dress.
Spread shimmer paste on the upper part of the dress. Let it dry, cut the dress.
Stamp "happy birthday" on white cardstock, cut it. Attach it to the box using thread.
Stick the flap of the sides to the edge of the dress.
Stick the embellishments around the neckline of the dress.
Stick a doily and flowers for decorating the box.

Our dress-shaped gift box is ready, you can use it as treat holder.

Let's Party Card

Hello friends,

We are here to share our DT inspiration post for Craftyscrappers.
We have created a card using coloring card set from Craftyscrappers, which is a part of the Craftyscrappers April card kit. This card was quicker to make than other cards in that we didn't have to stamp, it was ready to color.

We need the following materials:

Craftyscrappers Coloring card set

Craftyscrappers Stencil- Create a Scene

Craftyscrappers Forest Ink pad

Craftyscrappers Party bears stamp set

Cardstock

Watercolors

Foam tape

Scissors

Firstly, we need to color the Coloring Card and fussy cut it.

Then, we will create grass background using Craftyscrappers stencil- Create a Scene and Craftyscrappers Forest green ink pad and blending foam.

Likewise, we will make clouds using Craftyscrappers stencil- Create a Scene.

Once we are satisfied with the background, we will add foam tape on the backside of the fussy cut image and adhere it on the cardstock. The addition of foam gives dimension to our card.

We then chose sentiment of our choice- Craftyscrappers Party bears stamp set and stamp it on the cardstock to complete our card.

Our card is ready!!

There is a stencil, perfect for creating beautiful background scene. The kit has got masking sheet which can help you transform images by combining two or more images. They come with a backing sheet, so that you can re- use them. It also has acetate sheet, so you can experiment with ink smooshing, water coloring or create gorgeous shaker cards, and have fun.

It also contains Shimmer paste and Dazzle paste, you can use them to add shine and sparkle to your projects. We love their shimmer and dazzle paste for their versatility, and it can be used in cards, mixed- media and what not? Ain't birthday all about celebrating special ones, go ahead and use them to add sparkle to your cards.

Craftyscrappers has newly launched ink pads, there are 16 different colors, there are 8 colors in this kit. The ink pad has bright colors, these are water-reactive. You can do ink-blending, water-coloring, stamping and a lot more. These are stackable, that's a plus point, as it can save space!! The best part is that the label gives the exact shade, so no need to make swatches.

We have to mention the coloring card set which is great according to us. When you are running short of time and have to make card quickly, these coloring card set comes to the rescue. You don't have to find stamps and inks, just color them, detach and attach to card base, and you are good to go. How cool is that? The quality of these coloring sheets is awesome, very smooth and great for water-coloring.
Last, but not least, there are embellishments and twines in coordinating colors, perfect for that finishing touch to your projects.

All in all, this card kit is awesome.

BIRTHDAY PROJECT

We stamped the dragon image from Magical birthday stamp set, colored and fussy cut it. Then we used blending foam and sky blue ink to create cloud with stencil. We made the balloons by ink smooshing on a piece of cardstock, allowed it to dry and hand- drew the balloons and cut them. Finished off with sentiment from Boat love and Sending stamp set and sequins to complete the look.
