Pocket Letter Page :)
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…

Dream Mixed Media Canvas
Hi Friends!
Today i have a Mixed media canvas, which is a Guest Design post at Lulupu – Craft Lounge .
Here’s a look at my MM canvas. Oh yeah…Tutorial too 🙂
Took 9.5 by 11.5 inches primed flat canvas.
Took Dylusions Lemon zest in a palette and Peeled paint Distress stain dabbed in craftmat. Using separate wet wipes swipped these mists from top to bottom of canvas. This gives a neat coverage.
Then took a 5”x7 “ white cs and used Sizzix- TimHoltz mixmedia thinlits dies to diecut it diagonally.
Used Wendy Veicchi Embossing paste (translucent) and TimHoltz Honeycomb stencil in the diagonal portion of cs. It gives such lovely sheen after drying.
When the paste is still wet, sprinkled generously Prima- Finnabair Mini artstones on it. Leave it to dry as such.
After drying, smooshed the versafine pad directly on the diecut areas and heat embossed it using Ranger Silver Embossing powder. Then mist the cs with LSG spray – Azure sea asters and sponged the edges with frayed burlap distress ink. And then it was matted with a pp, whose edges are distressed with Rich cocoa momento ink.
Using Sizzix –Pete Hughes, Magical butterfly die, diecut the butterfly from a white cs. Colored using Metallic Gelatos and heat embossed twice using Ranger’s UTEE clear. Prima junkyard metal zipper – Inspire, is smooshed with Picket fence stain is added as Butterfly body using foam adhesive.
A resin piece randomly colored using Prima Art alchemy paint– Steampunk copper is added on the matted cardstock with ivory sisal at centre. Butterfly is then topped on it.
Few handmade florals are made using Sizzix- TH Tattered florals – diecut from pp, sponged with Shell pink, edges sponged with frayed burlap Distress ink, shaped and used pink rhinestones for centres. Sizzix – TH Elegant flourishes die is used to diecut from a white cs, sponged slightly with frayed burlap DI.
Leaves are from Sizzix Garden greens, diecut from pp, stamped with Bobunny script stamp randomly using Archival ink -sepia, sponged with Frayed burlap DI on edges.
TimHoltz word band is added to cs using natural hemp twine. Flowers, flourishes , leaves are arranged as per pic with few crocheted ribbon and white tulle. Stamped Kaisercraft stamp on a ivory cs and sponged with peeled paint DI and Archival sepia ink, added using foam adhesive. Negative of leaf diecut is used to stencil at canvas corners using peeled paint ink. Same ink splatters finally on the canvas. Edges of the canvas is smooshed with vintage photo Distress stain for that final framed look.
Hope you liked the stepwise instruction for the simple Layered MM canvas .

Indian craft room Coaster ride has brought in a new theme with a twist this time and its hosted by Sharada Dilip 🙂
Am completely in love with the theme 🙂
Hostess comes up with a Elemental inspiration and the twist is to make cards only with any 3 elements pick.
Now onto my card 🙂
(My choice of 3 elements are blackboard, a red heart, color palette in shelf)
Took a watercolor card ,quarter inch less than the A2 sized vanilla base card. Stamped Eiffel tower from IBS -Paris love set. Sponged with Momento london fog heavily at top and gradually faded diagonally at the corner.
Stamped the couple with umbrella on a wc paper, colored using Zig clean colour brushes and fussy cut with and mounted on the frontpanel near Eiffel tower using foam adhesives to create a depth to the scene.
Then took a scrap black cs and created a chalk board effect using Colorbox white frost pigment ink by stamping the sentiment on it. A UTEE embossed red heart is popped near the sentiment. And this black cs added to card panel using foam adhesives. Its then matted on A2 sized vanilla colored cs.
Hope you are inspired well to create a card using this time Story board 🙂
