Its time for the Plaids!!!

Hey all,

This time I am on http://peek-a-boodesigns.blogspot.in/! It has a long time I have crafted anything in particular. Missed me? I missed you people much :)

I have been in love with the Plaids stamp from the beginning and one day I got ample time to play with the designs and had made a lot of plaid designs in every possible color that I could think at that time!

So, why not play with the plaids today? 

Without wasting much time, lets get started :)

Today I am bringing four very easy to do designs with plaids.

First Card

Apart from the Plaids stamp design I am focusing on the Solid shapes for this card.

First of all, stamp the hearts and the diamonds with your favourite colors, here I have used distress inks and highlighted them with felt pens.

Fussy cut them. Arrange them and stick them in a circular form to make flowers.

I have used a plaid made with black archival ink. I adhered the plaid design on a pale yellow cardstock and coupled it with some rhinestones and enamel dots.

Too much possibilities with these stamps!!! I bet you second me.

***anything goes***

Second Card

For the second card I have used a combination of plaids and the Monstrous Stamp for a Birthday card.

This card is very simple to make. I had preserved a plaid design on Pink which I have used for this card. I stamped and colored some images from Monstrous stamp. I made this a Shaker Card. The sentiment is from Happy Birthday to You set.

Isnn't it too cute!! ^_^

Third Card

The third is a super time saver! I have used a plaid design I had done with the distress inks and I love the look it has resulted into. Just the plaid with the skeleton leaves, Jute twine and the sentiment! And its done.

The sentiment is arranged from the Banner Alpha.

Fourth Project

The last card of the day from my side is a simple one arranged with a patterned paper, a hand lettered fussy cut sentiment and an arranged sentiment from Banner Alpha. AND Its done!

Aren't these too simple?

Card making tip: The card making becomes super easy and time saving if you have plaids earlier. I had made plaid designs earlier on different colors and these four cards took hardly an hour to complete. 

So, whenever you are free, play with the plaids ^_^

Thanks for having patience with my long posts everytime :) 

Waiting to see your designs with these wonderful plaids.

With much love

Guest Designer Post with Monstrous Set for Peek-A-Boo-Designs

Hello Crafty Friends,

I am guest designing for peek-a-boodesigns.blogspot.com this month with the Montrous set.

With the Flower in a Jar set, I also received Montrous set from Vidushi. The set stole everyone’s heart right from the first day of its release with its super cute creatures. I must admit to the fact that this set and the projects not only made the kids happier but also us! What say?

After playing with this stamp set for a longer time, I finally got some idea to work on these cutie monsters. I have made four projects in total and here it goes:

FIRST PROJECT:

The first thought that I got seeing the set is the starry night. So, I tried to depict one. I took one water color paper and colored it blue of different shades with transparent water color folios. I can also be tried with the distress inks. Then I sprayed some drops of texture white mixed with water and also stamped and smudged some stars to give it a look of shooting star. I stamped the rocket and a monster from the set separately, colored them, fussy cut them and pasted them on the card stock with a 3D tape.  I made the moon with some silver glitter, Finished the bottom side with tapes, glitter sheet and the sentiment embossed with white.

Here is the final look…

SECOND PROJECT:

The second project is also one card with these monsters. I stamped and embossed some stars on a black cardstock and added pearl finished papers for the grounds at the bottom. I stamped the monsters and the rocket separately, colored and fussy cut them. I added them to the card stock with a 3D tape. I added the sentiment at the bottom and embossed it with black. Lastly some foam glitters on the borders.

THIRD PROJECT:

My third project is a CAS card.  I stamped this funny monsters separately and only the face of the monster separately and have drawn a heart around it (I loved the expression of joy on its face), colored them, fussy cut and pasted on a water color paper. Meanwhile I first embossed the mini hearts and stars to it and added colors to it on a random basis and let it spread on its own. Isn’t it looking beautiful the effect!

And the sentiment, I placed it in a single line and the sentiment goes perfectly with the expression ^_^

FOURTH PROJECT:

My last project is the cute and small tags. I thought these tiny, cute monsters go best with these. I took some scrap papers and blended some ink on it through a stencil. Stamped each monster on each tag and colored it. I really loved the fact that these monsters actually give you the liberty to color with no limitation. Isn’t it?

Finished with the different sentiments on each tag and some bakery twines! And here it goes:

I would like to share my Third Project with:

I hope you liked all the projects with these super cute monsters.

Happy crafting with this set J and lets say ZOOMMM! 

Love and Hugs
