Happy Father's Day

Hey Guys

Happy June to all of you. Here today I will be posting a Father's Day Card I created for the new challenge at Craft Stamper, Paru's Card Making Challenges, Creativity with stamps, Peek- A Boodesigns and A Blog Named Hero.

Craft Stamper - Lets Get Inky ( I have used watercolors, Dye inks and Fine-tip Pens)
Peek-a-boo Designs - Anything Goes ( I have used an old woodblock stamp and blue cardstock used                                      for card base while the watercolors and vellum is new stash)
A Blog Named Hero - Vellum ( I have stamped the sentiment on pale yellow vellum)
Paru's Card Making Challenge - Father's Day ( The card is made to celebrate Father's Day)
Creativity with stamps - Manly Card ( The card I made is to celebrates all Father figures)

Its June and its the time to celebrate all the Dad's and Grand dad's  and Uncles. We all will be celebrating Father's Day on June 19th and I just can't wait to give the card I made to my father. I am planning to do one more for my father-in-law which I will upload shortly.

For my card, I have used Sky Blue Cardstock for the base which is 5 . 5" x 4 , 25" in size and I glued off white cardstock on it which is 0 . 25" small on sides then the card base. I went ahead and drew the image of a Dad octopus and a daughter octopus on a watercolor cardstock. Then I water colored the 2 images using Camelin watercolors. I did layers of watercolors on the images and outlined it with waterproof black finetip pen and fussy cut the images. I also drew and colored a small mustache for the Dad octopus and fussy cut it too.

I added the 2 pieces on the card using foam adhesive. I added 2 layers of foam tape to the daughter octopus to make it look as if she was sitting on her Dad's lap. I added mustache to the octopus using foam tape too.

The sentiment I added is Happy Father's Day is a very old woodblock stamp which I had bought from a local store and I dun't know the brand. I stamped in on pale yellow vellum with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink,which I mounted on layers of cardstock and onto the cardbase. I used a red fine-tip waterproof pen to draw some hearts on the card and a Black waterproof fine-tip pen to add stitched marks around the card. I did not add any sequins or glitter as I wanted the card to be manly and simple.

To finish the card, I stamped you'r the best sentiment of the inside of the card which is from Petals from scratch stamp set from Fiskars.

I hope you all liked the card. Thank you for reading my blog post and dun't forget to wish your Father and Grandpa ad Uncle on June 19th.

Baby Shower Ideas- 2

Hello guys
I am back with favors for a Baby shower event. I did this event few months ago and though its time to blog about it. This was a Baby shower event for a very special person and it was also a surprise for the Mommy-to-be. Si I had to hurry up to do this event in a very small amount of time and I forgot blogging about it.

I of course started with planning according to the theme......Blue and Pink...So I started with decoration basics.... handcut some pink and blue crepe paper to make the crepe rolls. Then was balloons....baby showers themed and some plain ones. Then I hand did some banners which were baby themed which completed the decoration part.

These banners were hung with balloons from walls and corners with he crepe paper rolls.

 I even did some tassels to decorate the table on which food and drinks were to be kept.

Then it was time for favors....My client wanted 3 favors and so we sat down and worked out what we wanted to give and we decided to do baby booties, Green tea box favor and a small basket filled with girly accessories.
So after a tiring day filled with shopping for accessories and choclates, I sat down to work with the baby booties and tea box

The baby booties are handmade. I used chevron pattern paper with some paper twine. The booties are stuffed with all sorts of chocolates.

The tea box is made using light blue cand light pink  250 gsm cardstock. It was stamped with Thank you sentiment with the flourish.. I contains 4 green tea bags. The tea bags are designed and printed along with pull out tags for the tea bags.

The little baskets were stuffed with shredded paper and thermocol balls. Then, I filled it up with gift wrapped nail enamels, hairbands and hair clips. Then I wrapped the basket with transparent paper and added some satin ribbon bows.

So that finishes the favors. I also added tags to all the favors. These tags are hand drawn and made by hand.

Last but not least, a sache and tiara were made to complete the entire order.

I do have all the pictures for the event and the products I made. Thank for reading my blog and have a great day
