Dreams

I was starting to get uncomfortable with the long break I took from craft adventures. Life happens and sometimes you just wait forever for the right time and motivation to get back to doing what you are passionate about.. Last week the right time came for me ...

My uncle, aunt and their kids visited us over the weekend and I was excited to see them after 4 long years!!! I started thinking of ideas to make a motivational card for my cousin who will graduate from high school in next couple of years and go to college... and I took this opportunity to use my Silhouette Cameo to show off its beauty and here is what I came up with -

Materials:
Far East Background CardStock
Parachute silhouette cut on Silhouette Cameo
"Let your dreams take flight" PTI stamp and black ink
Black and white twine
Black square stickers

Thanks to my hubby for the amazing gift (Silhouette Cameo) and to Chaitali for letting me use her PTI Happy Trails stamp set.

I declare myself to be officially back to my craft adventures :) and will keep posting here to share my creations with you! Thanks for stopping by!

You are fabulous!

Butterfly

I went to a stamp festival in Portland in April and bought a whole variety of stamps. This butterfly stamp is one my favorite picks from that trip! I made 3 such butterflies on different colored backgrounds and then experimented with several patterned papers to see which combo appealed to me the most! Do you like this combo as well?

Materials:
Far East Background cardstock
Far East patterned paper (flowers)
TE April Kit paper flowers
TE April Kit Ribbon and matching cardstock
Butterfly stamp and black ink
Patterned butterfly background

Wedding bells

I don't think I was done with the patterned paper I mentioned in my previous blog. I had to make another card with this paper and the wedding theme continued as well.. 

Materials:
Plain background cardstock
Patterned cardstock
Label from TE Expressions April Kit paper pad
Wedding bells sticker
Ribbons
Pearls

The layout is inspired from the TE sketch challenge 155 though I ended up tweaking it a bit to add the ribbons at the bottom.

Wedding cake

Its been a while since I blogged.. I havent taken a break from making cards I just wasn't able to keep up with updating my blog as well!! I hope I am able to make it up to you with the cards that I wanna share with you... thanks for stopping by!

Few days ago my eyes fell on the elegant patterned card stock that I had used a couple of years back to make my wedding invitation cards. I had made 40 invitation cards then and have some pieces of that beautiful card stock in my stash! Keeping up with the wedding theme I used the same card stock to make a card for a newly wed couple! I combined elegant pattern with the wrinkled Indian handmade paper.

Materials:
Plain background cardstock
Indian handmade paper
Patterned cardstock
Glossy brown paper
Ribbon
Wedding cake dimensional sticker
