CSCC#15- CAS + Picture Inspiration

Dear Friends,

On the 1st of June, i am here with my DT inspiration for Create something catchy challenges.

Here is my quilled CAS card

I have taken the inspiration of flowers and colours from the above picture. The background of my quilled birthday card was decorated with washi tapes & laces and distressed the edges with mowed lawn ink. Topped up with doily and quilled flowers, leaves, flourish and simple printed sentiment. Have tried my best to keep the card simple.

Have adopted the below sketch for this card

Hope you have an idea now. Look for your inspiring part of the above picture and create CAS cards and link it to CSCC#15

Quilled congrats card

Hi Friends,

This Month at Unstampabelles we have set "OH BABY!" as the challenge

You can create a baby project of some kind or use the phrase to suit! Easter babies, animal babies, human babies........

The TWIST is to make your project fairly non-traditional for babies...

Here is my inspiration to you. 

My friend recently delivered a boy baby, thought of making an quilled card for her. Since the spring has sprung, i have added quilled florals to it. Arranged the quilled gate fold card with heart diecuts, punched leaves, Quilled swirls, leaves, pearls, laces etc. the sentiment is hand written.

Got some idea. Rush your entries to Unstampabelles before 1st May AET(australian time)

The Prize you will get from Unstampabelles is a baby suit diecut

Look forward to your entries





Love to link this card to BGC#67 - Spring elements - Flowers

DIY - Paper Quilling earring tutorial

Dear Friends,

This month it is anything goes at Create something Catchy Challenges. Hence no boundaries and no limitations. My inspiration is on tutorial to make quilled earring.

Quilled Earrings are quick and easy to make. To make them waterproof takes a lot of time. But you can create and cherish your friends by creating an earring for them. A few quilling strips and some earring findings are all you need to make these type of quilled earring designs.

It is a very simple tutorial and does not require a quilling tool.

 

Supplies you would need

1. Quilling strips - 3mm or 5mm - 10 Nos
2. A sketch pen or OHP marker
3. Glue.
4. Basic jewelry making supplies - O rings and fish hooks
5. Beads, mirror to embelish(optional)

Step 1:

Take a single strip and roll over the sketch pen and glue it as shown below

   

Step 2:

Pinch at one point in the coil to make a tear drop pattern. Repeat step 1 and make 10 Nos of such tear drops.

Step 3:

Attach each tear drops together to form a flower pattern as shown below.

Step 4:

Connect the fish hooks to flower pattern with O rings. Your quilled earring is ready.

   

Embellish the flower as you like - Beads , mirror, tight coil and coat it with glue and varnish.

Isn't easy to do. You can create any number of quilling earring designs by this method using basic quilling shapes

 Would be happy to see your work at CSCC#13.

Happy crafting............................  :)

Here is the watercolour card making tutorial 

Water  - The transparent liquid when gels with colour, it creates wonder.

Here are the materials required:

1. Cardstock

2. Normal Paint Brush

3. Camilin Watercolour cakes

4. Embellishments to decorate

5. Water sprayer

Steps to follow:

1. Take the cardstock and spray the water over it and don’t overdo just saturate the paper with water.

2. Mount the colour on the brush and just give one to two strokes, the colour will diffuse on the paper.

3. Since I will be using this a background, I have used different colours.

4. Then sprinkle the colours(mount the colours on the brush) on a plastic sheet and press the stamped image over the sprinkled colours; you will get a background like this.

5. I have attached the stamped image to the coloured background and mounted on white cardstock.

6. Embellish the card as you wanted, i have embellished it with pearls, quilled flower, laces and punched leaves.

7. Your watercolour card is ready
