Hello Dear Friends! :)

Suchi here with you all! Today is my last post on Lulupu. We are featuring Mudra Stamps on Lulupu blog! :)

I made not 1 but four cards using Linen Blooms from Mudra Stamps! They are now available on Lulupu store! You can find them here. :)

I am giving a step wise tutorial on how to make these cards-

1.Stamp all the stamps that you want to use up in your cards like this by using Jet Black Archival Ink! I was in a mood to color and that's why all my cards have colored flowers! :)

2.Later on, I colored a few of them using distress inks Seedless preserves and Salty Ocean.

3.A few of the flowers are colored using Mr. Huey's water color like this and later on I added the strokes using darker shades of water color using Koi water color brush.

4.Then I fussy cut the flowers and arranged them in certain ways before adhered on the card base!

Here they are after completion:

Hello Ladies!!

Brace yourself as this is going to be one LONG post!

Are you playing along with us at Lulupu's Challenge #60 - Moodboard

There are projects where you need a super fast glue that will dry quickly and stick strong! Aleene's Tacky Glue is one such glue that will definitely make layers and embellishments adhere firmly! :)

(Disclaimer: My review and opinions are stated here, after I have actually used this wonderful product myself!)

Alright! So, today I am going to give you review about three types of Tacky Glue.

Masculine Layout / Picture Tutorial

Hello everyone,

It's Roshni here, and today I have a picture tutorial for a masculine layout using Papericious - Naturals  paper pad that I received in my DT kit. So let’s get started :) 

Step 1

I took a piece of white 12x12 thick cardstock and applied Gesso on the two sides where I was going to apply texture. Then using tim holtz mini stencil and sakura modelling paste  randomly applied texture on the sides.  

Mood Board Inspired Scrapbook LO

Hello and good morning, friends!

Jasleen here today :)

As you all might be aware of the April's Challenge #60- Inspired by Moodboard and I'm sure you all must have enjoyed the DT work shared so far. So today it's my turn to share what I made inspired by the colourful mood board.

I came up with a school-themed scrapbook layout using the amazing Insta-squares from Simple Stories-- Back to school. I was inspired by the colours, the black label with white text, the polka dots and the chevron pattern.

Here is my love  layout cause our theme is Hearts & Arrows it mean about Love .

I use a pattern paper from Kaisercraft - Mix & Match Collection  , it suitable for my vintage style .First I tear one of a pattern paper and glued randomly , after that I apply white gesso with sponge. 

I continued with more papers craps, pieces of lace and photo, building dimension layer by layer – great technique when you want to get rid of the paper pieces from your desk! Some 3D foams were adding extra dimension too!  Then I add a little colour with gellatos 

I use some vintage boy and a little couple images  to my focal point. 

 I use a vintage stamp,  I added some stamping on the top of my white texture after that I tore the top and bottom of the paper, and glued with a card stock to make the page 12'x12' 

I decorated the pieces , a wooden arrows , a heart die cut, flowers , a fussy cut of  butterfly and vintage clock from the paper.

and add paper flowers 

The chippie Love Takes Times is my Title and I color the chipboard with ink spray and cover a little with Silks acrylic glaze.

Altered Spool / Picture Tutorial

Hello Everyone,

Its Roshni here and today for the February Challenge  Hearts & Arrows I have made a 3D project. I received this Needle & Thread Kaisercraft Paper Pad in my DT kit and inspired by this awesome paper pack I made a spool. It was an ideal valentine gift for my mom as she loves stitching. I used this pretty pattern paper to cover the spool and fussy cut a lot of elements from the paper pack to decorate it..... since the theme for the February Challenge was hearts I also used another paper from My Golden Garden Paper Pad  that was also a part of my DT kit.. sharing the tutorial followed by a few pictures of my project.
