New Year CAS Card

Hola crafty friends, 

Since new year is just around the corner and everyone is busy prepping for gifts and cards for their loved ones, I'm going to keep this post short and simple just like my project. 
Here's my take on a clean and simple new years card, let's have a look. 

I started by giving the dots texture to my card mat with the help of some texture paste (homemade) and a dots stencil. I then used a yellow colored distress oxide ink and covered the whole mat with an ink blending tool. I tried to keep the centre light in color and all four sides dark giving it an ombre effect. I then simply tore a pattern paper with my hands and stick it with tacky tape in the centre. 

I then used a hemp cord and tied it in the centre making an 'X'. I used a happy new year stamp on a black sheet and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. 
I finished off the card with some mulberry flower arrangement along with die cut leaves. 

Hope you liked this CAS card and will give it a try too. Do share with me your creations, I love seeing them. 
Until next time,
XOXO,
JK

Boutonnière

Hello my fav crafty people,

Today I am presenting a very easy DIY. I have made 2 very cute and simple yet beautiful boutonnières. For all those who are new to this term, a boutonnière is a french for buttonhole. It is basically a floral decoration worn by men on their formal coats. 

These are very simple to make. You just need to know how to combine the flowers together, i.e. creating a bunch of flowers. I made one in teal color and one in vintage pink color. Let's take a closer look. 

I used 2 bunches of pollens in pink and white, one vintage pink mulberry rose flower 4 pale pink rose buds and 2 mulberry leaves to bring it all together.

For the teal bunch, i used one poppy mulberry rose, 3 micro white roses, 2 bunches of white pollens and finally 2 mulberry leaves, bringing the whole bunch together.

You can add some brown jute cord to add more interest to these beauties. 

Hope you liked this very simple to make project. 

Until next time,

XOXO,

JK
