<ul>
<li>Papertrey : <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/superhero-stamp-set/">Superhero</a></li>
<li>Arhival black & Memento ink pads - (badly need new ones) </li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<br />
Tip of the dayTo get solid images to stamp well, I read this is awesome tip. Ink it first with a clear pigment inkpad-like the embosser inkpad and then right on top of that ink with the dye ink. Perfect images everytime :)<br />

<br />
I thought it was high time I stopped designing and stamping them in my mind - and transfer them to cards :)<br />
<br />
My first card is so simple, my CAS soul weeps with pleasure. I stamped this Papertrey's <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/bubble-talk-stamp-set/">Bubble Talk</a> in red, and hand cut the heart bit out. A clear see-through heart<br />

<li>CASology Week #18: <a href="http://www.casology.blogspot.in/2016/01/week-181-clear.html">Clear</a></li>
<li>ATS: Addicted to CAS: #80: <a href="http://addictedtocas.blogspot.in/2016/01/challenge-80-red.html">Red</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
My next card was for One-Layer Simplicity challenge - which wasn't meant to be... hehe..<br />
<br />
It's for my 6yo little girl, soon to be 7 in March - who's just started taking violin classes. She gets so disappointed. So I thought this will cheer her up.<br />
<br />
This is from Lawn Fawn's <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/sunny-skies">Sunny Skies</a>. I curved the sentiment "reach for the sky" along the string to reach up to the, ahem, sky. Grin.<br />

Oops.. I just realized that the One-Layer Simplicity challenge has closed collections - I thought with me being in India, I can sort of slip it on.. My.. no do!! :)<br />

These make the process super easy.</p> <p align="left">I die cut chipboard twice, and then Fabriano card stock 6 pieces and DCWV paper 12 in number.

Welcome back :)</p><p>Starting today I have a series of Christmas & Holiday cards and others to share with you.</p><p>Today’s card is a <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/" target="_blank">Papertrey Ink</a> one.. A bunch of stamped poinsettias, fussy cut and layered.</p><p> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-DmYpXCYGxAk/VFBQYTOnCvI/AAAAAAAAEHo/RBhP9xHQ-pY/s1600-h/CraftyJCPoinsettias3.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="CraftyJC Poinsettias" border="0" alt="CraftyJC Poinsettias" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMnJBsjuVTG3_SoXvqsayq-1T88N6FImzyKuxx964lTH20V_CP5XZ4_dEnFfZEnINkp1JconRSRbzCc-nim5P0LL7aXUMD1wg_iyjcBOmji7FAb9AC9gb5ICyDSkXf5pypxlt9E-Lypuo/?imgmax=800" width="580" height="772"></a></p><p> </p><p>The golden magic in the middle is from Pie lane.. I’ve been hoarding this for sometime..and I think it has found it’s home.</p><p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-FHwNYQvsFl8/VFBQb9wVVTI/AAAAAAAAEH4/-CecalMXVF0/s1600-h/CraftyJCPoinsettiasClose3.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="CraftyJC Poinsettias Close" border="0" alt="CraftyJC Poinsettias Close" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-UxMYYb8-Yu4/VFBQdngAoeI/AAAAAAAAEIA/MR29OeGm_qs/CraftyJCPoinsettiasClose_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="484"></a> </p><p>What I’ve realized is, to get a tidy fussy cut stamped image, leave a bit of white margin as if the stamped image was die cut :) And the mistakes don’t show as much.</p><p>Do you the slightly splotchy image?? I’ve since then taken a white eraser to it, and it stamps much better.</p><p>The background is a sheet music stamp, from PTI again.</p><p>This is what went in</p><ul><li>Stamps: PTI<br />
<li>Inks: Memento</li><br />

<br />
The sweet animals are die-cut and stamped using PTI’s <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/sweet-baby-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Sweet Baby</a> stamp set. <br />
<br />
I am quite proud of the way I made the sky and the grass :))) I used the PTI <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/circle-scribbles-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Circle Scribbles</a>…Yippee!! lol<br />
<br />
The clouds are trees are from Clearly Besotted <a href="http://www.clearlybesottedstamps.com/products/home-sweet-home" target="_blank">Home Sweet Home</a>. This is another stamp company I love. Do you know that they have free shipping world-wide on all orders more than 50 British Pounds?<br />
<br />
What went in<br />
<ul>
<li>Stamps: PTI’s <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/sweet-baby-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Sweet Baby</a> stamp, PTI <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/circle-scribbles-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Circle Scribbles</a>, Clearly Besotted <a href="http://www.clearlybesottedstamps.com/products/home-sweet-home" target="_blank">Home Sweet Home</a> </li>
<li>Memento Inks and Hero Arts Soft Pool </li>
<li>Wiggly eyes from <a href="http://www.itsybitsy.in/" target="_blank">ItsyBitsy</a> </li>
</ul>
<br />
Now, the Hero Arts Soft pool is very soft… :) Very very light, I don’t think I like it too much.. I used it on the elephant.. I wish it were brighter!! And I sure should have done my homework right before buying this colour :)<br />

Pinterest helps a lot for great inspiration. But I am glad I found what to do with this stamp set.

You all know how partial I am to stamping.. And I love her doodling, she isn’t afraid of free hand drawing and experimenting. Fabulous combination I say :)</p> <p>The theme for this challenge is <a href="http://catchychallenges.blogspot.in/2014/05/cscc3.html" target="_blank">Masculine</a> and only cards are allowed. And here is the yummmmmy inspiration. Gorgeous huh :)</p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/v/t1.0-9/1538832_489704414485877_614206547_n.jpg?oh=170826667eb2131278b7a3f95ae515ca&oe=53E1D4F2&__gda__=1406351269_03054bcbd17a8d90e9c00cbdec3e9a9c" width="405" height="480"></p> <p>And here is my take on it. My dad’s birthday was around the corner and I made this for him. All supplies linked below.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Cov5GSP4Uh0/U22YqdtuTvI/AAAAAAAAD9c/ANtGJyfDLl0/s1600-h/CraftyJC%252520Catchy%252520Designs%252520GD%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="CraftyJC Catchy Designs GD" border="0" alt="CraftyJC Catchy Designs GD" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4MFV2q-zv8Y/U22Ysvpv3qI/AAAAAAAAD9k/9Ca-9m-J6Jo/CraftyJC%252520Catchy%252520Designs%252520GD_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="617" height="768"></a></p> <p>I was inspired about a lot of things in the inspiration picture – apart from the obvious of course. :D</p> <p>The red and black panel on the left reflects the brick wall, the clock representing a Birthday and the same colour as the hunk’s golden skin, the green backdrop is from the grass and don’t miss the three birds from the lamp posts. </p> <p>And yes, I had to make a one layered card… but the collage-ing is a new one to me. I am so glad I tried the layering-collage effect. I loved making this card.</p> <p>Now, off you go and play along. I can’t wait to drop by and see what you create. I think this inspiration has a lot of potential. I know I would be playing along again.</p> <p>What went in</p> <ul> <li>Stamps: <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/" target="_blank">Papertrey ink</a>: </li> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/background-basics-houndstooth-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Background Basics: Houndstooth Stamp Set</a> (red background)</li> <li><a href="www.papertreyink.com/stamps/grunge-me-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Grunge Me</a> (Green splotches and those birdies)</li> <li><a href="www.papertreyink.com/stamps/masculine-motifs-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Masculine Motifs</a> (Happy Birthday sentiment)</li> <li><a href="www.papertreyink.com/stamps/little-bitty-bird-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Little Bitty Bird</a> (The looped border)</li></ul> <li>Stamps: <a href="http://www.clearlybesottedstamps.com/" target="_blank">Clearly Besotted Stamps</a></li> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.clearlybesottedstamps.com/products/just-a-note" target="_blank">Just a Note</a> (Notes stamp)</li> <li><a href="http://www.clearlybesottedstamps.com/products/the-best" target="_blank">The Best</a> (sentiment)</li></ul></ul> <p>Thanks for stopping by and good luck with the challenge :)</p> <p>God bless.</p> <p>Cheers<br>Jaya</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961326597815856936.post-40334877123765992612014-04-13T21:41:00.001+05:302014-04-13T21:41:39.079+05:30Lunchbox Lovies<p>A quick post with some super cute stamping :)</p> <p>These are perfect for slipping into a lunchbox or a office bag.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ewqkM3mzdzo/U0q3Ix9ypvI/AAAAAAAAD8Q/O498nJiGlQ4/s1600-h/DSC05413%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="CraftyJC Lunchbox Lovies Notes" border="0" alt="CraftyJC Lunchbox Lovies Notes" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Npv7jzuFlZM/U0q3KX3ws6I/AAAAAAAAD8Y/_TJYlLVOKC8/DSC05413_thumb%25255B11%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="601" height="484"></a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xDuOEcuqf0c/U0q3LxPx_bI/AAAAAAAAD8g/pqbiRukOPuw/s1600-h/DSC05412%25255B31%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="CraftyJC Lunchbox Lovies Notes" border="0" alt="CraftyJC Lunchbox Lovies Notes" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-A3b49yo8470/U0q3OPHR9HI/AAAAAAAAD8o/XAX4lOe2O0g/DSC05412_thumb%25255B32%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="613" height="551"></a> </p> <p></p> <p>These measure 3x3 inches and you can write a note on the inside.</p> <p>PS: I stamped the hearts three times after inking it once.

<br />
A quick post with a sweet card. The same darling couple you saw <a href="http://www.craftyjc.com/2014/01/a-sweetheart-couple.html" target="_blank">here</a> (this one was a finalist in Itsy Bitsy challenge, yay!) and <a href="http://www.craftyjc.com/2012/09/anniversary-scrapbook-with-sizzix-and.html" target="_blank">here</a> (as an outline only) make yet another appearance :)<br />

<br />
<br />
Stamped a white panel with the hearts border in rainbow colours, stamped the couple directly on the panel, and then stamped the couple in another card stock, which I then water coloured.<br />
<br />

<br />
K is completing her first year in formal schooling. I can’t help but look back in wonder and thanks to God for all the blessings. One of the important and most special blessings being the <strong>teachers </strong>in K’s ‘Lower K. G.’ (as the children call it). K’s class teachers have been so kind to the children, and us parents too. <br />
<br />
So, I made these to show our gratitude to the teachers. A small thank you.<br />
<br />
Everything you see here comes from one stamp set - Clearly Besotted Stamps Teacher’s Pet. Love.<br />
<br />
First up a set of three cards<br />
<br />
The first card I made is inspired by the sentiment in the stamp set. I made a faux blackboard by stamping the sentiment in white and clear embossing it on black paper. I then framed this using <a href="http://www.sizzix.co.uk/blogs" target="_blank">Sizzix</a> Instant Frames (as always everything is linked at the bottom of the post). The card’s background is using the Pencil line image which comes along with this stamp set in three different colours. I had great fun aligning all those pencils in different directions.<br />
<img alt="CraftyJC Clearly Bessotted Teacher's Pet1.jpg" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-RBdSrHymV-M/UxxlnF-kSpI/AAAAAAAAD4U/RofCGgo19dA/CraftyJC%252520Clearly%252520Bessotted%252520Teacher%252527s%252520Pet1.jpg%25255B19%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="772" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CraftyJC Clearly Bessotted Teacher's Pet1.jpg" width="533" /><br />
As you can see, I added some glossy accents to the apple. <br />
Apple, apple.. red apple… juicy apple… Who’s reminded of Snow White? :) That was a line from the play when I was in my 2nd standard :)<br />
<br />
In the next card I used the outline apple images along with the solid ones.. love love the effect. I also stamped and heat embossed in white, the coffee mug. <br />
<img alt="CraftyJC Teachers Gift Clearly Bessotted Teacher's Pet2.jpg" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-I_8HMfp2qkU/Uxxlo5K8pQI/AAAAAAAAD4c/CQD5gwt6hcE/CraftyJC%252520Teachers%252520Gift%252520Clearly%252520Bessotted%252520Teacher%252527s%252520Pet2.jpg%25255B3%25255D%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="772" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CraftyJC Teachers Gift Clearly Bessotted Teacher's Pet2.jpg" width="576" /><br />
The last one is an ode to water colours. I love water colours. :) I stamped the pencils similar to the first card – but in black.. and went to town with ware colours. Soo much fun.<br />
<br />
<img alt="CraftyJC Clearly Bessotted Teacher's Pet3.jpg" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-eqDy51lmJwM/Uxxlrt_iHwI/AAAAAAAAD4k/km9HUmI7VgQ/CraftyJC%252520Clearly%252520Bessotted%252520Teacher%252527s%252520Pet3.jpg%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="772" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline;" title="CraftyJC Clearly Bessotted Teacher's Pet3.jpg" width="850" /> <br />
I am leaving this card as is – since I am entering this to <a href="http://www.onelayersimplicitychallenge.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Simplicity One layer Challenge</a> – Use Water.<br />
And finally - a small fridge magnet (measuring 5.5x5 inches) which will go with the card for each teacher. Made using similar techniques as the first card – but added faux stitching using white gel pen to echo the white dotted lines in the apple. And of course topped the apple with Glossy Accent.<br />
