Layout Using Crackle Paste / Video Tutorial

Hello everyone,

Its Roshni here.. Sharing with you a layout I made using Gold Crackle Texture paste from Prima Marketing and papers from ‘’My Golden Garden” by Papericious both being a part of my DT kit.

The Golden Crackle is a wonderful texture paste which when dries gives a crackled effect it also has a beautiful shimmer in it… the thicker the coat you apply lesser the crackle formed… 

Sharing  is a few pictures of my layout

Heartfelt Gift bag!

Hello Dear Friends! :)

Suchi here with you all today!

I am sharing with you something that is totally out of my style but hey! I am enjoying new techniques! Vintage, flowers, mixed media- I am going to showcase something new out of them! :)

So, I had this mobile box with me and came across an idea to utilize it! Let me show you the tutorial for making a Gift bag! :)

1.Cut out pattern paper sheets of length of the box . Here , it was 5.5inches. 5.5 * 9 and score at 2 from below

2.Cover the box using papers and let the bottom paper be more than its size. You will know why in the next step. Add Gesso over the edges to prime the surface.

3.Adhere those cut outs with the extended bottom paper of the box. It will look like this! :)

4.I used Heartfelt Creations stamp- Tattered blossoms from the store which you can find here.

5.I don't have co-ordinating dies for it. So, I fussy cut all the flowers.

6.I scrapped the background sheet which is from Papericious. You can find it on the store HERE. And the gorgeous button is also from Papericious which you can find HERE.

Altenew Hennah Elements | One Stamp Set, Many Ways

Hey, Friends !

Hope you all are doing great.

This is Jasleen here and today I'm going to share a few cards and other stuff I made using the gorgeous Altenew Hennah Elements stamp set I received in my DT kit. This stamp set is undoubtedly one of my favorite stamp sets of all time. Very versatile and such beautiful images.

Here's the first card:-

For making this one, I stamped the floral images all over the card base to make the background. Stamped the same floral images on a piece of watercolour paper, coloured those flowers using the Faber Castel connector pens that were gifted to me by my friend Vijaylaxmi Siyal. I loved the results. Then those floral images were fuzzy cut to be later embellished over the vellum-covered card base. I love the how vellum gives a softening effect to the background, so that the main floral images pop beautfully. :)  Finally, stamped the sentiment and added the Sequins. Lulupu has a beautiful collection of sequins. You can find them HERE.

Now, onto my second card:-

I started off by sticking a patterned paper from the gorgeous Papercicious 6 by 6 paper pad- Often collection, over the card base. Then cut out a piece of black cardstock at an angle, as shown. Stamped the beautiful lace border and the 'congrats' sentiment from the Altenew stamp set in versamark ink and white embossed it using white Ranger's Embossing powder and heat tool. Stamped the floral images from the Altenew- Hennah elements stamp set on a piece of scratch card stock, coloured it using distress inks , fuzzy cut them and mounted them over the card using 3d foam tape. I love how lovely they look against the polka dots patterned paper.

Here's my third card :-

For this one,I stamped the flowers in the corners of the card base using Altenew ink in coral pink colour and sponged the corners lightly in the same colour of the ink after masking off the flowers. Then I stamped and silver embossed the flowers over a piece of vellum and coloured them using Faber Castel connector pens. I used the Lindy's silver embossing powder here. Then, I fuzzy cut the vellum flowers and mounted them over the card base using Ranger's glossy accents(it acts as a perfect adhesive for sticking transparent/translucent elements) Stamped the sentiment and finally finished off with a few pearls and sequins.


Also, made these simple tags using this versatile stamp set :-

And last but not the least--

A pillow box made using patterned paper from the Papericious -Often collection and embellished with flowers from the Altenew set and washi tapes from the Lulupu store.

I hope I've inspired you to try out different ways to stretch your stamps. And when the stamps are as gorgeous as Altenew hennah elements, the ideas come quick and easy. :)

Looking forward to seeing your creations for this month's challenge. Link them up HERE.

Here is my love  layout cause our theme is Hearts & Arrows it mean about Love .

I use a pattern paper from Kaisercraft - Mix & Match Collection  , it suitable for my vintage style .First I tear one of a pattern paper and glued randomly , after that I apply white gesso with sponge. 

I continued with more papers craps, pieces of lace and photo, building dimension layer by layer – great technique when you want to get rid of the paper pieces from your desk! Some 3D foams were adding extra dimension too!  Then I add a little colour with gellatos 

I use some vintage boy and a little couple images  to my focal point. 

 I use a vintage stamp,  I added some stamping on the top of my white texture after that I tore the top and bottom of the paper, and glued with a card stock to make the page 12'x12' 

I decorated the pieces , a wooden arrows , a heart die cut, flowers , a fussy cut of  butterfly and vintage clock from the paper.

and add paper flowers 

The chippie Love Takes Times is my Title and I color the chipboard with ink spray and cover a little with Silks acrylic glaze.

Here’s what I've come up with, for this month’s challenge . Since this is the month of Love, I dedicate this to my love for crafting.



I got these fabulous patterned papers from Kaisercraft- Needle and thread in my DT kit . So, I made this double flip-box using these papers. All the floral cut-outs, those spool images, labels are from this collection itself.

I think the Kaisercraft- needle and thread collection of patterned papers are just perfect for making these kind of keepsake boxes for storing those little crafty trinkets, sewing stuff like spools, yarn,etc . Ofcourse  the store-bought plastic containers also do this job pretty well, but then we are crafty people, if something's not done creatively, it's a job half done, isn't it?  ;)
