Crafter Anu: greeting card

Hey there crafty people!

I hope you all are well & keeping safe.

This is Crafter Anu & today i bring you another beautiful card.

I wanted to create something elegant & ethnic Indian so this is what i came up with.

Let's have a look at it.

For this card i combined supplies from 2 of my favorite craft brands.

One is amazing paper grace (spellbinders) & other one is dress my craft.

This card is so Indian in all beautiful terms, the elegance, the colors, the traditional designs/patterns,

the greeting in hindi language (hardik abhinandan) & lastly the flowers.

It took me hours to decide on the elements for this card but it was all worth it.

So let's hop onto the tutorial now!

To start with i took a cardstock (english rose) measuring 4 x 6 3/8 inches for the base

Then using the outline die i die cut on a piece of cardstock (off-white) measuring 3 7/8 x 6 1/4 inches

Die cut this elegant curled grace oval frame on gold mirror cardstock

I took this beautiful pattern paper from dress my craft - Indian elegance paper pack,

trimmed it down to 3 3/4 x 6 1/8 inches & die cut this window in the center.

Die cut big oval on off white cardstock & this tiny ribbon holding die

(i don't know if it's called that) on gold mirror cardstock

Lastly i die cut this sentiment on english rose color cardstock & gold mirror cardstock

Adhere the gold one beneath a little off-set to give a shadow look.

So this is all about the prep work now just arrange all together to make it into a card.

Start with the base solid color cardstocks then pattern paper, after that add solid outline frame on top of it adhere the elegant gold frame.

Add another window pattern paper die cut on it, on top of that add oval shape die cut using dimensional tape. Finally add the sentiment.

To add more beauty to it i decided to arrange some handmade flowers that i created on the oval die cut.

Beneath that i added some gold wire as well for more interest.

Hello there crafty people !

Anu here & today i have a super easy & fun project to share.

This project i made as an inspiration for the current blog challenge of

PARU'S CARDMAKING CHALLENGES.

Let's have a look at the card first 🙂

And here comes the pictorial for the same.

STEP 1:
Take white cardstock & stamp the whole base

with a crayon stamp ( I used craftyscrappers “never change” stamp set)

STEP 2:

Stamp, color & fussy cut few crayon images.

STEP 3:

Take a piece of white cardstock, draw a circle on it & cut it out.

Make sure it fits the base card.

STEP 4:

Now we need to align the colored crayons on the

heart shape cutout & adhere them on it.

Don’t forget to cut off the image that falls outside the heart shape.

STEP 5:

Use foam tapes to adhere the heart shape to the base card.

STEP 6:

And at last glue down the base card on a kraft note card

& add a sentiment to finish.

Close up look of the card.

I hope you all liked this project.

Do let me know in the comments below.

Happy Crafting 🙂

And do not forget to create for paru's current blog challenge.
