CraftyJC Cards

There is a new challenge launched on CraftyJC Challenge #9 Instead of me telling you about it here, I would rather you popped over there to view the challenge. I would love to hear your thoughts! Cheers, Jaya

This is something I made for my DH. Anand, my husband, has been having a tough project and I see so little of him. So, to cheer him up, I made this card and left a few gifts in a bag in his cupboard and a little pick-me-up to cheer him up. Love you A :) I’ve loved the sentiment I’ve seen in many places.. “love you.. sew much”. Such a fun sentiment which leads you to so many possibilities! :) The hearts are hand cut, stamped with Ippity A Bit of Burlap and clear embossed. I wanted a casual look and so didn’t worry about careful stamping or anything. The bits of ribbon attached with a staple pin. The circle windows were cut with Nestabilities. Sentiment is hand written. This card is inspired by KWernerDesign . She makes such wonderful cards and lovely hand written sentiments. And all that hand drawn stitching. Aww.. gorgeous! :) Thanks for stopping by :) Cheers, Jaya

Well, that’s what the sentiment says :) Here is the card I promised (to myself) to post. This is the card I made first and then used the punched flowers to make this Just a Note . Sentiment is white embossed using Hero Arts powder. Any suggestions on a decent white ink pad? Popped up the punched panel with dimensions. I love the way it creates shadows. The bit of ribbon is an after thought – well to hide a bit of mess I created :D What went in 5 Petal Punch & Buttons from itsybitsy Ribbon from good old days from Pune Stamp is my prized/treasured Hero Arts Everyday Saying Fiskars Treading Water punch Thanks for stopping by again :) Cheers, JC

Heyall Today's post which is after some 5 months (yes you read that right) - is a bit of crafting after that many months. I've been looking at your posts - my fellow Indian crafters and others ocross the oceans. What lovely inspiration! :) Today's post is based on ICR's Challenge#8 - a layout with stitching. You wouldn't believe if I said I have layouts sketched for the last 3 challenges - which never got made! Life has been a little bit insane here (massive understatement here) So, now back to the card and off my rambling.. A super simple card I've been ruminating in my head :) A bit of Faux stitching. And here is the mandatory close up. What went in: Flower punch from itsybity - for more uses for the same - punch, see here and here . This punch is very versatile and so easy to use. Buttons from itsybity too The flower paper is from CLOVER MEADOW, Country Drive  by Echo park - courtesy Ujjwal's shop :). And the sentiment is...

Here is your next inspiration from our lovely creative Ujjwal. Please welcome our second DT for this Challenge, Ujjwal “ Hello, I’m Ujjwal living in Pune, India and like the rest of the us am seriously addicted to Craft- making, admiring, hoarding and most defiantly buying ( things that I don't need but MIGHT need :D ). I got married to a wonderful guy 2 and a half months back and life has been a beautiful journey ever since. My DH is most supportive, encouraging and ever so patient with my crafting needs(I am not sure if its the same when I go on my crafting shopping spree!) I have been into card making and crafting since I was a small kid but it got serious when I discovered blogging one and a half year back and started my own blog in February last year and there has been no looking back. I have met some very talented people..made wonderful friends and learned a lot. I am glad to have been given the opportunity to be a guest designer at CraftyJC Challenges today! I a...
