Hello my dear bloggers,
This is crafter Bipasha ;) with you ,with my very first "What's up crafty?"post for the BGC and my second post in BGC. And Oh yess girl !! I can still feel the butterflies in my stomach :p. Well,I had a hard time thinking which crafting techniques or tip I should share with the ingenious crafters around me (I still feel as a beginner at times :) ! ),then something really spooky caught my messy mind.....I asked myself..
I like to have a basket of these handmade embellies that will match the papers i am working with perfectly.
Crafting with cards and scrapbooks is great fun and a wonderful outlet for your creativity, but you may find that making your own embellishments makes your hobby even more fun! What do you think?
Hope this post will be useful to you guys .I will come with more embellishment tutorials in my next "What's up crafty??" post. Till then , stay tuned.....yawnn!! My eyes are darn sleepy now...Its 2am in the morning !! :D

What would I like to see in a inspirational post?
Obviously the choice varies from crafter to crafter...but the allurance remains the same..
"Anything beauteous attracts us at one-go, ain't it ;) !!"
Crafts like scrap-booking and card making are wonderful hobbies and a creative outlet for many, but the cost of embellishments alone can cramp your style.Moreover when you are honoured with the crown of "CRAFTER",I believe you can create master pieces with just a plain sheet,a pair of scissors,some colours..it casts that magical spell on you that bestows you with its inherent skills :) . So, I thought of sharing here a few ideas for the do-it-yourselfer!! As you say it, make your own embellishments(butterfly & flower ) to ornate your creations ..

Also, You can use pearls,pollen ,rhinestones to elaborately ornament it :) !
Here are some of my projects wherein I used these embellishments:

ReplyDeleteBut I really don't know how to use the embossing tool. Have you go a tutorial on it?
Love,
Nabeela
Sorry for the late reply Nabeela..
DeleteThere are 2 different ways to emboss: heat embossing and dry embossing. Depending on the technique for embossing paper you choose to undertake, varying tools are needed. Heat embossing adds a raised layer of print or design to the card while dry embossing raises the paper itself. Dry embossing typically utilizes an embossing machine but can be done by hand.
Here in my tutorial I have explained how to dry emboss your card by hand. Use your stylus or embossing tool, and apply pressure around the interior edges of the stencil or the desired area. You do not need to press over all the open area, as pressing along the edges will create the embossing.
And,for the tool ; a metal embossing stylus with small metal balls on either end works best for dry embossing on paper
Hope I have been able to clear your doubt :),let me know if any confusion persists.
