Crafty Meraki - March 27th 2021 Happy Holi!

Hello friends! I am back with Crafty Meraki goodness. Today I am featuring super adorable "Holi Hai" stamp set which was recently released as a part of Meraki Festive Release. This set is a wonderful representation of Hindu Festival "Holi" a festival of colors. We will celebrate Holi tomorrow and on Monday. As a child I loved playing Holi, coloring friends was fun after all but today what I miss the most is the Holi special food prepared by my mom. The images of  these adorable kids takes me back in time :) You can check out all the products HERE. 

Let me show you what I made... 
I wanted to capture the colorful aspect of this festival. So I inked the panel with Distress Oxide inks, did some ghosting using the sentiment stamp to add more interest to my background. I stamped and colored the images and adhered them on the top of the panel. To finish I added the heat embossed sentiment.
Here is a close up...



I couldn't stop at just one card... I had to make another card featuring this cutie from the set

A simple card, where I tore a green card stock for the landscape and adhered it on blue card stock to represent the sky. I stamped some colorful splatter using Distress Oxide inks and the colored and cut the images and adhered them on top. 


Hope you like these cards!
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me some love.

I love playing with solid stamps, the fun of stamping the images and quickly finishing up a card is absolutely thrilling for me. So I designed a set with solid artsy images. Let me show you the stamps first and then my cards...

I made my first card capturing the fun of stamping by simply stamping the images to build a fruity background. To finish I added the die cut sentiment using Skinny sentiments dies


Now to my second card, I wanted to keep it simple with a pop of color. I inked the background panel and used the stencil technique for ghosting. I die cut a focal frame and stamped the pear and leaf. To finish I stamped the sentiment strip. Besides the new set I used All Blooms,  and Pierced Curly Frames/Tags Nesting Dies.
