Easy to make cards with stamps and pattern papers

Hello everyone,

         Riswana here with you today. Am so excited to be sharing my first DT post on the Lulupu blog.!

   

Did you check the new Challenge #63 - Sketch for this month?! Here's my take on the beautiful sketch by Sindhu.

I've used the "Enchanted" paper collection from simple stories for this card. I love love love these papers with their beautiful pastel shades & so many 'princess'y elements :)

I've used a regular paper punch to add some holes & fussy cut to make the PP look like a notepad paper & crushed a little bit to add some texture.

To make the focal point, Added some glass bead glitter gel & sprinkled some pink micro beads on the bg. Fussy cut the crown & star wand images from the paper pack & heat embossed with clear sparkle embossing powder. I also embossed the swirls in the second layer with the same EP.

Added wink of stella clear glitter & glossy accents, on some areas to add more sparkle & shine.

For the sentiment, Made a banner out of the PP & mounted with foam squares.

This card is super sparkly in person & I wish I could have captured it all in picture.!

Here's another simple & fun card with a totally different look.

I used Mudra play with lines stampset & memento dye inks to create the striped bg. Added a layer of vellum & mounted the flowers & sentiment banner to finish the card. The flowers are from inkadinkado doodle flowers stampset, stamped with Archival jet black ink, colored with Zig clean color real brush pens & a gemstone brad added in the center.

Hope you liked my projects. Looking forward to see your wonderful creations for the sketch Challenge .!

Create. Have fun.

Embossing magic with a tuorial

Hey guys!!!

Neha here with another post and this time I am sharing with you two cards along with a short tutorial. This month's challenge is all about using embossing powders and our DT team is sharing some awesome project for your inspiration. You can find all details about the challenge here

Embossing Magic

Here is my first card. I have done heat embossing over watercolor paper and vellum using black and white EP. I have a tutorial for this one.

In next card I have heat embossed two images and a sentiment over vellum using white EP. Then matted this piece over a pattern paper which was further matted over a green card base.  I also did some faux stitching over vellum piece using a white ink pen. Added some sequins and glitter. 

Here is the tutorial or a pictorial for the first card.

1. Take a watercolor paper and heat emboss the image with black EP.

2. Add some color. You can use DIs or watercolors or sprays. Here I have Heidi Swapp color shine sprays in peach and yellow color. The embossed image will resist the color. Thereafter I have trimmed the panel a bit.

3.  Next take a piece of vellum and cut it in a tag shape. Heat emboss the sentiment using white EP. Add some enamel dots. Glue it to the embossed panel using foam dots behind the enamel dots.

4. Matt it over a black card base and finish with some sequins and card is ready

.



That's all for today. I hope you like these cards. If you are interested in trying your hands at embossing then Lulupu store has a wide range of embossing powders and other supplies. You can enter your projects here.

 Hugs!

Some more magic with Embossing!

Goog Morning friends! 

This is Tanvi & welcome to some more magic with embossing powders!

Heat embossing is one of my favorite techniques in card making. Even today I am as excited as I was when I first tried my hands at heat embossing using the iron! Love the sight of the embossing powder melting as I move the heat gun! 

In the first card today I have the image as well as the sentiment heat embossed. The image is fussy cut after embossing & coloring. 

As you can see in the picture my second card has both wet & dry embossing.

I love using vellum for my cards & heat embossing on vellum is a perfect trick to prevent the image/sentiment from smudging!

Thats it from me today........hope you like the cards!

You still have a lot of time to link your card to our current challenge here.

Challenge #53

Sparkle and Shine

Click here to read about the challenge guidelines

My card base is black & the diagonal stripes were created with a MFT stencil & Inkagold Silver. The Inspired by Stamping blooms were heat embossed in silver on vellum & then fussy cut. 

Over the blooms I have added shimmer with my favorite - clear Wink of Stella brush pen! This is a must have for all card makers, especially if you are one like me who likes just a subtle shimmery look. Just look at the effect.......even fantastic in real!

Don't forget to check back again as the DT will be sharing tips & tutorials all through the month.

Hey Crafters

Hows it going? After a long gap am happy to post some inspiration again for Lulupu! It didnt start with the challenge initially. I made one card using my favourite Micia Stamp  and  then i wondered what more can one do with such big flower? And yes that was a challenge for me. I have not been stamping much offlate so this one was sure was a bummer. After few attempts and wrecking my brains for a day i came up with my second card too and just in time to share with you all :)
