MHK June Release – Open Bloom

~ Sathya ~ 13 Comments

Am excited to welcome you to the June 2016 MHK Designs release. We have some really fun sets to check over the next few days, as well as chances to win either one of the sets OR all of them!.

Open bloom is the focus digi design today 🙂

My take on this design:

Flowers are printed in different sizes and colored using Faber castell bicolor pencils. Sentiment directly printed on the focal panel and distressed at one end with Mustard Seed DI and arranged these flowers.



Then matted the focal panel on Beautiful brocade brown paper and then to A2 ivory card base.
This finishes off this simple card.
Hope you like it!

Mixed Media Baby Canvas+Altered Box :)

~ Sathya ~ 17 Comments

Hi Crafty Peeps!!

Catching you all with  a New born MM canvas.
This project has all my heart…being my 1st MM Baby project with most of Prima products:)

It took me straight 3 hours for the canvas and 1 hr for the altered box to house this canvas.
I had no prior idea about how am gonna do this…but at the end of the whole process, i really fell in love with this absolutely.

Its a RAK sent to my past DT team ICR teamie Shraddha Patel. Oh yeah, she delivered a baby boy 3 weeks bac and i sent out this project after a week to USA and it handed over yesterday in person to her by my hubby’s friend in Georgia 🙂

Lets jump into the process …

Took 5×7 inches canvas,, which is my most fave size to handle canvas.

  •  Primed with Prima Egg blue all over the canvas. 
  • Mudra Vintage florishes are stamped on tissue paper and decoupaged using Ranger multimediu matte on the back of canvas and sides and applied Prima egg blue on it.
  • Then on the front side, Stamplorations Hearts all over stencil is used to apply Prima Modelling paste and sprinkled heavily with Prima heart stones. Love the way those cling to hearts 🙂
  • Then took pieces of gauze strips and start to adhere in layers.
  • And Few designer papers , did stenciling using Stamplorations shutters stencil (which are not visible due to embellishments) and distress ink Tumbled glass.
  • Sprayed with Prima Color bloom frost mist…am totally amazed by this product. it gave such life to the project.
  • Then came embellishment part with resins, mdf scrolls which are white heat embossed with Ranger Embossing powders, crochet laces, Kaisercraft Pittypatters diecuts, flowers misted with LSG azure sea asters, Prima Metal Zipper, Prima Junkyard words.

  • Was hoarding a ipad sturdy box for more than 3 years and put to good use now.
  • Top and inner sides were heavily primed with Prima egg blue. 
  • Then stenciled using MFT moraccan stencils and misted with LSG Azure sea aster spray
  • Few designer papers and cheesecloth with Kaisercraft pitty paper diecuts as embellies.
  • Sides of the box lid was completely decorated with rows  of pretty crocheted laces…My fave one was hoarding for 2 years now.
  • The bottom of box was red and i left as such except outer bottom layer which was covered up with a designer paper.
  • The MMcanvas was wrapped in bubble wrap and tied with grossgrain ribbon.
  • Handmade with love is the newest ribbon addition in my stash…I love it a lot!!!
Hope you like this 🙂
Happy Crafting!

Pocket Letter Page :)

~ Sathya ~ 4 Comments

Hey hi Friends!

Am back with May month CoasteRide Inspiration at ICR .

Such a Beautiful theme and Twist – Pocket Letter Page with Mother’s Day Special as twist.

Basic Researcher in me…Went for a serious search for Pocket Letter infos (PL) and DIYs to make one on my own as i dint own WRMK sleeves or Fuse tool…

JanetteLane is the creator of PLs.Visit the link and you are sure to be amazed by the great details.

I must admit, am hooked after making one PL. So i went ahead and made 3 sleeves and kept ready to fill in and send as RAKs 🙂

Its my ever first try and am way too excited that …its made for Mom and i went ahead to frame and take it to India to gift this to dear Mom 🙂

Storyboard 🙂

This Storyboard is designed by Hostess, Shraddha Patel. Such a wonderful and thoughtful challenge and theme. I enjoyed every bit of making.

I made use of file folder sleeves and went ahead machine sewed and made cute Pockets 🙂

Pattern papers are from Spring liliacs and Vintage florals, my Fave collection of IBS. It has such lovely papers and have been hard time using scissors on them. Been hoarding for 2 years and finally put to good use now 🙂

First row 🙂

Used Itsy Bitsy Glitter Alphas for word MOM and a mulberry flower to adorn the word.
Next pocket, made a pocket and used sponged manilla Tags with words saying “To my mother with love”
For next, framed a lovely verse and adorned with heart pearls, floral ribbon and Prima flower.

 Stamped using Wplus9 sentiment on pockets 1 and 3 and adorned with flowers, ribbon.
My fave pic with Mom&Dad on 2014 June on central pocket 🙂

Lovely Mom verses are taken and framed using flowers and ribbon in 1 and 2 pockets.
Last pocket adorns the Prima sentiment with a large butterfly and a satin ribbon flower.

Few more closeups 🙂

One more PL pic with tags out 🙂

I owned a lovely tiny book named MOM and was hoarding for years…This time took those pages and framed few lovely verses here. I dint heavily embellish here, since its gonna be framed. So i kept all flat for easy framing.

Do play along this lovely challenge and stand for the chance to win a beautiful stampset from a new Indian Stamping Company, Mudra 🙂 And happy to mention this being one of Mudra’s Creative Teamie!!

Andddd…

A important thing to be shared here.
