My first try at Sospeso Transparent.

My first try at Sospeso Transparent.

Posted by Rajni Chawla

Hi all !!


My wait for Sospeso Transparent is over now.
I wanted to try this technique also but the raw material available in India was very expensive. One of my favorite student Meetu and her sister Neha made it possible for me to try my hands on this technique.My this particular post is to specially thank these two pretty ladies for making it possible not only for me but also for other passionate crafters of India to try their hands on Sospeso.

Now let me give u a little introduction to this art.This is also called Volume Decoupage, created and patented by Italian decorator Monica Allegro. This technique allows you to make volume decorative elements from special paper (napkins and decoupage cards) in very easy steps.One of the main materials used in volume decoupage technique Sospeso Trasparente is a special film. It is absolutely safe and non-toxic while heated.

When I sat and started working, lots of new craft supplies were in my mind. I worked with new textures...Lindy's Stamp Gang , my new range of distress stains andddd off course Sospesso. Today I 'm sharing my two projects on Sospeso. One of them is a frame using S3-10 and the other one is wall piece using paper veil 03,05 and 08. I preferred making my second project a wall piece as i wanted to save my creation of these delicate flowers from dust. Here are the detailed pics.

Frame using S3-10

This was my second try.I used paper veil 03,05 and 08

For Sospeso Transparent supplies u can contact Meetu Aggarwal (9899275495) and to keep yourself updated regarding supplies join her on her page and her group.

All my creations really really wait for your valuable comments.

This one is my favorite. It took lots of time . I was totally confused about what paper to use for the center. It led me to an idea of making it on my own. I was having decoupage napkin and I used that to make the center of my card. I did decoupage by adding little glitter to the flowers and die cut with Labels 17.

Other supplies used are :

Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 17 Seventeen.
French doily (Marraine )
Justrite Floral flourishes Backgroud stamp
Justrite Poppies Label Twenty nine set
Spellbinders Imperial Gold set
Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles
Spellbinders elegant label four
Distress inks

Hello !!

I don’t know about you but one of my favorite parts of crafting is collecting fun supplies.Especially stamps and dies. But then these need to be used properly. The day I organized my stamps and dies I was amazed to see my collection. But they were worth nothing if I couldn't use them. Its an year now that I have been into paper craft...watching so many crafters participating in various challenges. Even I wanted the same but lack of time and my health problems did not allow me to do so for long. 

The other day scrolling down my facebook page I visited Justrite stampers and came across their Friday Challenges and promised myself to participate this time. I hardly have few of justrite stamps but tried hard for this Justrite Challenge #102 Color Inspiration.I just loved working with these stamps and wish to add many more to my stamp collection. I came up with these three cards.Here are the pics of the cards with their details.

 Card 1
Have a fabulous day

Supplies used..
Core'dination paper
Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One
Joy Craft Rectangle Frame
Justrite Background Stamp Garden Gate
Justrite Celebration Labels One and Bracket One
Sunfluer Kissed Stamp and die set from Heartfelt Creations.
Distress inks.

Look at that sweet butterfly. It is first stamped with Justrite Floral Furnishes Background Stamp and then fussy cut. I made it from the scrap I was left while making another card. Isn't it cool !!

Don't you think I'm really working hard to be regular in making posts here.Believe me....I am !!!

To make this day little special with all my special blog friends today I am sharing my latest creations.I will be sharing four of my cards together using one single stamp (Papermania urban cling stamp ) and also with one single paper collection by Core'dination. I have used lots of different dies, washi tapes and Crackle medium by Ranger.

My daughter has put two white quilled flowers in my last card...she did nothing but still wanted to take full credit of making it by adding those two little bits :P
For the third and fourth card i used Sunkissed fluer die from heartfelt creation.

Hope I can inspire you to make something beautiful.Do leave some love by commenting if you like my work.

Hi..

The clock kept ticking.....the hours n days are going by....and one more year passed without you.

We never can just stop time. Or take moments back.

Life doesn't work that way, does it???

I still can’t believe that he is gone, and perhaps I never will. I never thought that I would be alone, and in my mind, I know that being alone is the hardest thing that I will ever have to do.

It will be completing 5 years on 7th Aug without him. My friends and family assume that I am moving on.  Little do they know that there are days when all I do is think about him, days when all I long for is to see his smile, and feel his touch just one more time.  Little do they know that after five years there are nights when I still cry myself to sleep.

AHHH !!!

 “time heals all wounds.”  I want to tell people that the wound in my heart remains open, and that time will never heal it.  But, they wouldn’t understand.  Time for me has only led to a form of acceptance.  A form of acceptance that comes and goes as it pleases, because there are days when you cannot accept the loss.  Yes, there are days when grief washes over you in uncontrollable waves of sadness.

I somewhere read.... “Our wounds run deep, our undying love is forever, and staying connected beyond the veil brings us comfort.”

Today the waves of pain are less frequent but no less intense. I cry unexpectedly and then feel better.  I’ve learned to live without him but not to forget him; to honor the memory of what was, while functioning in the world that is.

Today I am sharing this project to welcome the sadness that keeps us connected .This picture has captured a moment that has gone forever....but will always remain alive in my heart. If I could, I would live forever in this moment. But no one can live in a moment, and time moves......on.

This is my DT project for CCC Blog's Nail it down with textures Aug month challenge.Hop on to see some more fabulous creations from rest of our DT's.

My first attempt on using quilled creations jewellery rings..

Hello friends !!

I have been a lousy blogger not at all active in making any post on blog.Sorry,I kept you waiting for so long.....will try to maintain my regularity now.

Recently I have added few new products to my craft room. Quilled creation jewellery rings...Washi Tapes...UTEE and so many new dies. Quilled Creation Jewelry rings are brass rings with black nickel-free and lead free base.These rings are available in 5/8th" and 1/4th"in size n 1/8th" depth and comes 2 pieces per pack.My daughter was after  me to make something for her with these amazing rings.She was very happy when she got two instead of one and that too....colors of her choice.Some times I really get very confused when so many new things gets piled up and i don't get sufficient time to try my hands on them.Today I'll be sharing the result of my this beautiful confusion.I called it beautiful as it really turned up so well. Everything i used was quite new to me. Read so many reviews about these rings n UTEE  but was not sure at all how will they turn out when combined together.

Here is what I came  up with...

Here is the side view....
Isn't it yummy!!!

I know you guys are definitely going to try this beauty.Here is the tutorial for this... 

 Prepare a card stock of light color matching to your washi tapes by sticking them together without leaving any space in between. Either die cut or use templates to cut 2 different sizesof flowers. Ink up the flower cut outs with versamark ink and sprinkle UTEE. Shake off excess UTEE. Hold the die cut with your foreceps and melt it with heating tool. Repeat the process till u get desired results. Shape up the petals when little warm. Pierce both the flowers with Crop a dile and hold them together with a brad. Give a fine quoting of mod podge to make it wash proof. Now fix the ready flower to quilled creation jewellery ring with glossy accent.

You can easily find Quilled Creation Jewelry Rings at Imaginations, the Premium Craft Supply Store.

Happy crafting :)
