Never stop dreaming

Hello everyone,

There is no age to believe in magic.. Isn't it.. Magic happens everytime may be we just cease to notice it.. Magic does happen.. 😊

I came across this beautiful challenge yesterday.. Click on the image to reach on the challenge page.

Seeing this I was taken back to my childhood days.. The chronicles of Narnia.. Do you remember how the possibilities are endless, but we got to dream to achieve the goal..

This reminds me of the Lucy from The Chronicles of Narnia... I decided to create the magic of princess and castle.. I came across a YouTube video of how to create the diorama.. And voila I created this..

I had no square tooth die.. So I did all the cutting and measurements by myself..

This is a 9.5inch by 4.5 inch cardstock.

I handcut the towers, added the shades using the pink cardstock. And handcut the edges of the castle and the tower. Then brick stenciled all the cardstock using the MFT Hybrid ink called orange zest. I then die cut the grass and the trees using the MFT scene builder die set from a green textured cardstock and pasted it from wall to wall.

I stamped the horse and the princess from the once upon a time stamp set and colored it using the Copic markers. I also die cut the pink flowers from the pink cardstock using the lawn fawn border die.

I then assembled the elements of the castle as shown in the picture. To add detail I added the window with the triangle ledge in the same stenciled cardstock. And made a door using the white cardstock, colored it using the walnut stain distress ink.

And once it was ready it looked like this.. It can be one third folded and kept in a customized envelope..

I hope you liked it.. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

CHRISTMAS IS THE BEST HOLIDAY...

Hello everyone,

Christmas is just round the corner and I wanted to create the Christmas card but with a lot of critters depicting how Christmas is special to everyone. While some of us like to sing carols, some like to play around making snowmen or just having fun with our buddies..

A centre picture card would be amazing isn't it!! Giving a lot of dimension and to create multiple scenes.

I started with a the dimensions shared by Maymay cards.. I then cut all the pieces of the card using my we r memory keepers all in one tool and scored it as demonstrated.

Then I created the background scene using the distress inks salty ocean, evergreen borough, peacock feather, faded jeans and mft hybrid ink cor flower. I blended it out well to I got the desired results.

It was time for critters now, I used my favorites from mft waffle flower and lawn fawn.. I'm in love with these cuties. I copic colored them and fussy cut them to they looked like this.

Now the time to assemble the card, I made the snow using the hill border die and cloud die by mama elephant with the white cardstock and then pasted at the bottom. I gave some gentle blending of the evergreen borough to add dimension on the snow.

I die cut a lamppost for the critters to give some light while they sing the Christmas carols.

And pasted all the elements together.

On the front I added the silver paper to add the extra bling the card was missing, pasted a little owl clad in the scarf 🧣.

I added the sentiments from the mft stamp set Holiday Penguins both in the inside and outside.

Tadaaa...

I hope you like it.. ❤️ ❤️

Happy Birthday

Hello everyone,

My hands were getting ticklish to create a card. What better than make a happy birthday card.. Isn't it..

Then I thought how fun it would be to create a little party of critters from lawn fawn, waffle flower, mft..

So here it is.. My little critters hosting a birthday party.. Setting up the banner and balloons.. He hehe

So I created a slimline card, and stamped my images using the altenew jet black ink, colored the images using the copics and then fussy cut them.

I now die cut the green textured cardstock using the grass die cut and hill border line dies by mft and mama elephant respectively.

I then created the sky using the tumbled glass and broken China distress ink with the stencil. And then added my critters using the 3D foam tape.
It was now time to add the banner.. I die cut the banner, handwritten the alphabets and then stitched the banner in the hands of the little critters.. I didn't mean to strangulated the little bear 😂

And then stamped the balloons.. Too make it look complete..

Hope you liked it.. ❤️ I loved creating it..

Hello everyone,

With so many beautiful cards all across the internet I wanted to create a pink colored background card this time.

I then created the background using the MFT Ripe berries hybrid ink, worn lipstick and spun sugar. Then heat white embossed the snowflakes from the create a smile stamps merry go Christmas stamp set.

I die cut the white card stock to make the snow using the Mama Elephant Landscape trio die and pasted it.
