Birthday Fun with Clear Stamps!

hello blog pals! :)
How have u all been??? signing into blogland after exactly a MONTH!! the reason being a very happy one.. :) Pink Crayons *handmade cards* has become really really popular in college I must say.. I've been getting so many card orders that I have hardly got any time to even plan the study schedule for my semester exams (which are starting very soon....just 10 days away...*SAD puppy face*)
So ya... PC (pinkcrayons) will remain shut untill I get done with my exams and that means NO card orders *relief* and dat again means I'll start blogging "regularly" :P I sooooo badly want to upload all the cards I've made during the whole month...

Today I want to share with u all..one of my mossssssst dear card projects.. Like so many of you crafters I too have started enjoying working with clear stamps!! :D yayy!! :) check this out...

A birthday card for a very close friend of mine.. She was my classmate in 11th and 12th grade and since then we have been the best of friends! :) She is someone who loves simple yet attractive things....this is why i have gone in for a card with lots of bling but simple embellishments! :) 

I have used a "lacey circle" for the first time ever... I ordered for it from the kalalayaa craft store...

(I have blurred my friend's picture placed on the lacy circe 'coz I suppose she wouldn't like it as she is a soooper photo conscious girl)

A CLOSE UPPPP..

I have used BIRTHDAY FUN Clear stamp set by Inkadinkado that I recently ordered from Kalalayaa Craft Store :) I tried out something NEW... I have individually stamped and cut out all images I wanted to use for the card..The images have been hightlighted with a black marker followed by some heat embossing.. Just to give it a finished look i have added a little glitter sparkle using light coloured glitter tubes from fevicryl.

(It took me quite some time to stamp...cut out...hightlight..heat emboss and decorate these images...but worth the time I put in 'coz I totally lovee the outcome) and the best-est part is that my friend loved it toooo :D

HEAT EMBOSSING...

I have heat embossed the border design which again came along with the stamp set..

I have used dark red embosssing powder from `a la mode embossing powder set...the stars again have been filled in with a light green glitter tube :)

"A PERFECT BOW"

It has been quite a while now since I have wanted to tie a "perfect bow" on a card...I FINALLY DID IT.. followed a tutorial on YOUTUBE and got it right...perfectly right *with a self-pat on my back* lol..

HELLO everybody! :) I'm back with another post this week! :)

Its a pretty paper frock that I made and used as an embellishment for my card! :)

A friend in college loved this concept...and ordered for many such cards...thats y the title "FROCK-O-MANIA" lol! yesh...u will find lots of frock-cards this week! :P (just like how I had butterflies pouring down on my cards a week back *wink*)

So here it is.... (just one in dis post...will update yo'l wid more as and when I complete)

(A piece of different coloured card stock attached with a bow..to make it look pretty from the inside aswell :D )

Sentiment- handwritten and heat embossed!! [its an attempt to copy my favourite word font 'curls' and I'am pretty much happy with it :D]

A CLOSE UPPP!!

I have used a floral b&w PP...heat embossed a few flowers here and there using all my favourite heat embossing powders that I bought from crafting queen.

Just to add to the look...I have stuck a few gems and stones:)

ButTerCup..hEr B'dAy!!

Hie everyone.. pooja here :)
I made this card for a friend who is really really special to me :D (i call her buttercup and dats y the title says so)
I had initially planned to make a tri-fold card but ended up making a card with 4 folds :P
I have used both the sides of the card to make it look like two diffrent cards with two openings (one teeny ribbon on the left and one on the right)

This is how the card looks when ribbon on the left is untied :) I have decorated a tracing sheet with alphabet cut outs (which says best gal pal) and inserted it on top of a picture to use it as a cover.. a zoomed picture of it has been attached below!! Surrounding them are two butterflies whch have been decked up with gems and shiney stones

This is how the card looks when ribbon on the right is opened :) I have made a small pouch sort of a thing with a white patternd paper to inser a little tag..and next to it is the page  on which i was to write a b'day note (I have used flower buttons and coloured threads to make those borders)

I have again used a tracing sheet to create a cover for the picture I have stuck underneath it :) wanted something bright and nice...so chose to create a  black checkered pattern with a few hearts placed inbetween the checks..
Below is the picture of me and buttercup to which this black checkerd tracing sheet acts as a cover!!
