Hi folks, 

I am back on the blog with another fun project for TE's season of crafting! We have 9 days of daily deals coming your way starting TODAY! This is a great time to check thing off of your holiday shopping list for crafty friends and family or maybe check a few things off of your own crafty wish list! Each day the new daily deal starts at 9AM Central Time and goes until 8:59AM Central Time the next day. Offers are valid while supplies last and there are no rainchecks. 

Today's deal is all about clear stamps! I used a bunch of stamps that are on sale currently to create a fun rainbow birthday card. I started off by ink blending by warm night sky using Blue Raspberry, Cookie Monster and Mint Julep inks. I then heat embossed the starry background using Starfall background stamp (not on sale today). I stamped and colored images from Be U-nicorn and Big Rainbow stamps and adhered them to the base. Matted it on top of some Toffee cardstock and added a heat embossed stamp from Happy Hooray (not on sale) to finish off my card! 


Supply List:




Thanks,
Kavya

Hi folks, 

I am back on the blog with another fun project for TE's season of crafting! We have 9 days of daily deals coming your way starting TODAY! This is a great time to check thing off of your holiday shopping list for crafty friends and family or maybe check a few things off of your own crafty wish list! Each day the new daily deal starts at 9AM Central Time and goes until 8:59AM Central Time the next day. Offers are valid while supplies last and there are no rainchecks. 

Today's deal is all about Standalone dies! I used a bunch of dies that are on sale currently to create a fun NYC themed card. I was in NYC last year for thanksgiving and I am definitely missing it now. Let's get started...



I first started off by using Mushroom and Sea Salt cardstock for the road and sky. I ink blending the Sea Salt cardstock with Oyster ink and used Oreo for the Mushroom cardstock. Then, I die cut the Downtown Border using Blue raspberry cardstock and also used Pineapple for the underlay. to make it more realistic, I ink blended the Downtown Border using matching dye ink. For the Statue of Liberty, I used Spearmint and added some details using a matching Copic marker and white gel pen. To finish off my card, I added a sentiment using Cap It Off - Alpha and a NYC taxi using a modified stamped image from Gus and Gertie - Ride On. 

Supply List:



I hope you liked this project and the deal of the day :)

Happy Crafting,
Kavya

Hi folks, 

I always look forward to MFT's Cardmaking Superstar competition each year. It pushes me to find creative ways to use stamps that I already own and get inspired from things around me! For this year's entry into the Clean and Simple Genius category, I was inspired by a children's book I saw a while back that included the story of a deep-sea diving cat. I mean it makes sense... a cat does need its fresh supply of fish! What better way than to get it fresh from the ocean! 

I have always struggled with Clean and Simple cards. For some reason, I cannot stand the color white. I always feel like I have forgotten to add something or just looks incomplete. Lately, I have realized that white space doesn't have to mean 'white'. It's just empty! So, capitalizing on my newfound revelation, I decided to start off my card using a turquoise cardstock. I started off by masking the space for the cat and ink blending the bottom 1/3rd of the card. Then, I stamped the flora and sea bed using Mermazing stamp set. I colored it using color pencils and add some soft white highlights and glow using a color pencil as well. 



Then, I stamped a cat from Cat-astrophe and few fishes from Mermazing and Gill Friends and colored them using alcohol markers. For the scuba helmet, I drew a circle over the cat and fussy cut the entire image :) Added some bubbles and a sentiment to finish off my card! 


That's it folks! I hope you liked this fun card :) 

Happy Crafting,
Kavya

Hi folks, 

I always look forward to MFT's Cardmaking Superstar competition each year. It pushes me to find creative ways to use stamps that I already own and get inspired from things around me! For this year's entry into the Coloring Virtuoso category, I was inspired by the distinctive style of Van Gogh. Just like his bright color palette, gorgeous landscapes and expressive portraits, I love dabbling with unique color schemes and creative life-life critter scenes! 

When I saw MFT's Sunflower Sweetheart, I was immediately reminded of Van Gogh's Sunflowers, and I knew it was the perfect opportunity to combine two of his celebrated art works - The Starry Night and Sunflowers. 

I first started off by masking and stamping the sunflowers using MFT's Milk Chocolate ink. I felt like stamping in brown ink added a layer of 'vintage' to this card. 


Then, I painted the Starry Night using acrylic paint. 

For the land, I hand drew a curved hill and ink blended the edges using green distress oxide ink. 
The sentiment was heat embossed from Unicorns and Glitter stamp set. I felt that the sentiment was fitting for the card as I was trying to recreate (a bad attempt for sure) some of the most previous paintings known to humankind. 




Later, I stamped the girl and some critters and colored them using alcohol markers and colored pencils. As always, I added some white gel pen details to finish my card!



That's it folks! I hope you liked this card :) I definitely enjoyed making it!

Thanks,
Kavya
