'Bird Cage' - Heartfelt Creations

Hi friends,

Welcome to crafterscorner....one of the most inspiring and creative blog and I am so happy to be a part of it and super excited to continue my DT term once again. I will try my best to make things easy and inspiring for u all....

Today's post needed a lot of patience and hard work as I decided to make all the flowers and leaves by my own using the gorgeous Heartfelt creations collection. The flowers which we create by these stamps and coordinating dies are simply breathtaking. The basics of flower making are used and the best part is that the most amazing flower shaping kit by Heartfelt creations is now available at our store.

I stamped few flowers with Archival coffee ink. The coordinating die cuts all the flowers together and then I used sponge daubers to colour the flowers with memento luxe ( Dandelion, love letter, Rose Bud) colours . Its always good to colour projects on a craft sheet as it makes everything easy to clean.

Next I moulded the flowers with 8mm ball stylus and gave them shape and dimension. Then I stuck them slightly off centred , this makes the flowers look much natural and pretty . I also added some orange micro beads in the flower centers. 

The leaves and branches were also done in the exact same way. For colouring the branches I used vintage photo and walnut stain distress ink and for the leaves it was peeled paint,forest moss and shabby shutters. 

I made a lot of leaves and flowers and then began the layout of my bird cage. I planned the way I wanted my bouquet of flowers to look and started sticked them with a glue gun. 

I had a miniature bird house which was perfectly suitable for this project...I attached two chains with the cage and then added the bird house at the center. There are a lot of miniatures in our store and believe me the effect they give to any 3D project is magical.

I created a cute nest of my own by using Rafia which I dyed with distress stain. I sticked three cream coloured pollens for eggs. it was so much fun...

Now I will share the pictures from all sides so that you can see the flower arrangements.

Here is a Video explaining few of the techniques I used in my project today.

Penny black card!

Hi crafty people ,

Hope you had a great festive time and I am sure you must have created some awesome gifts and cards for your near and dear ones.There was so much at www.crafterscorner.in to choose from and there are new additions in stock literally everyday.Let me know your wish list and would surely love to see what all you created using them and get inspired. For this Diwali I altered few pretty baskets and buckets to gift yummy confectioners to my friends and relatives. 

Ok now coming back on today's post I wanted to work on a card which can be created with any flower stamp in the collection. I have an obsession for Roses and this penny black power petal stamp set was just so tempting....

I also love fussy cutting my images so that I can layer them and create detailed dimensional projects.

The rose in the stamp set is quite bold and perfect for copic colouring. I stamped it with memento tuxedo black ink on Tim Holts patterned paper wallflower and coloured it with copics.

Similarly I stamped the leaves in olive grove ink by memento.

For the card layer I created my own glittered patterned paper. It was super duper easy. I used just two products and I had an amazing subtle glitter paper.

I took my wonder tape and stuck it at desired.

I peeled the red backing and poured in lots of clear rock candy dry glitter and I got this beautiful thing ... 

The next steps will be fun to see and I will do a tiny bit of explanations where ever needed.

 

I Used few penny black stamps-lost w/out you ,flower festival and Foliage Fancy to create some layers in the background .Heavily distressed the paper with Vinatge Photo and Walnut Stain. I also added loads of wink of Stella clear shimmer over the roses.

Added a bow and a clock charm with glue dots to jazz up the card and here is how the finished card looks like. 

I had a great time creating the Bouquet and the glittery pp.

So grab your favourite flower stamp or die, some glitter and tacky tape to created similar cards and surprise your friends .

Please share your creations & leave a  comment which is so very important for me.

Take care !!!!

Lots of love

Pretty window !!

Hello crafty people!!!

To continue my effort to use the basic dies and give them a new definition I m glad that I cud create this window card.

I am so excited to tell you that our store is full of beautiful intricate dies and they are just so amazing.Guys do check out the site to book yours.

There are wonderful dies which do the specific thing but we can also learn to use what we already have. After my scalloped circles flower tute I wanted to created something like this again.

So without wasting a second let's start the tute..

Step 1: I took a 11x 4.25 cm card folded at 5.5 cm. then with the spellbinders rectangle die created this window on one flap.

Step 2: this window frame was also created with the spellbinders rectangle dies.

Step 3: the planter was manually cut and I gave it few raised lines with the help of my score pal

Step 4: this cute awning was created with the help of spellbinders scalloped rectangle. Coloured it with the super luxurious memento lux dandelion ink pad.

Step 5: this super cool brick background panel was created with tim holtz embossing folders and memento inks.

Step 6: look all the layers are assembled

And what a pretty wall is created .

Step 7 :now begins the fun part...Stamping and that too with the most amazing inks in town ... 

Yes the MEMENTO LUXE inkpads are here at crafters corner ...

So hurry and grab yours 😊

Phew!!! It was a lot of pics and a lot if fussy cutting and here is what I finally created ...,
