Quill and Punch Works

Hi, everyone!
I finally got some time to share my cards which I made for Mudra last month. There are lots of awesome stamps which were released and here's my card using one of them. This set was designed by a very close friend, Ruchi of Ruchi's Crafeteria. This is a very simple design and can easily be mass produced.


To make this card, I took a piece of black cardstock measuring 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches and die-cut it using a Gina Marie Stitched Frames die. Next, I prepped up my card surface for heat-embossing using the EK Success Powder Tool (This is used to remove the static from the paper). I used the Leaves stamp set for stamping on the two corners using Versamark Embossing ink and heat-embossed it in gold. (Tip - Since the leaves are pretty intricate, always use a Super Fine Detail embossing powder while heat embossing. Using a normal embossing powder will give you very thick & unclear images). I added two butterflies from the Butterfly Layers set which I had heat-embossed in gold and colored using Distress inks. For one of the butterflies, I cut off one part of the wing to create a silhouette shape. I wanted the sentiment to be a bit bold so I heat set the sentiment from the same set - Butterfly Layers and adhered it in the middle. I added two strips of gold paper to enhance focus on the sentiment. I added few tiny flowers from the Bunny Wishes set to finish off my card.

Hi everyone,
I am just dropping by to share a quick card which I have made especially for the BGC challenge which is
Celebrate your friend with a peepy-fruity twist...I had made a card earlier but failed to follow one of the rules which was to make a window and wanted to give it a second try...This is very last moment  and here's a look at My card :-                                                            

Hi Friends,

Hi Friends,
Today I am posting an CAS card done with stamping ,I seem to be enjoying this simple card phase and I think next to quilling this is definitely my current favorite style,so here's a look at my Card first:
        Okay I really wanted this to be a single layer card but then when I started making it, somehow I ended up doing this color combo of orange red and white ,the Scallop Circle are Handcut using a diecut as a template and the stamp I used is a Inkadinkadoo Flourish  stamp and those Birds are part of that stamp set. I have fussy cut the birds and placed them on double sided dimension tape and colored it using Faber Castell color pencil( the regular ones).The sentiment is stamped using The PAPER COMPANY stamps.And the heart brads are from JO -ANN'S.
                                And now for the good new's part I won the Crafty JC  Challenge 9 for my Recycling  project here.  Wohooo so happy about it:)
