Hello and good morning! ^__^
Here's the post that was long overdue...
What happened was I made some ATCs, and then made some more and since they were all different, I decided to collaborate them into one big post!
So here goes..
The photograph that you see above was a part of a sneak peek of a gorgeous Limited Edition stamp set called Away We Go launched by Peek-A-Boo Designs.
You can read all about it : HERE
Next up, this set of ATCs was made using distress inks, stencils, washi tape, glitter, crackle accents, modeling paste, die-cuts and sequins along with some mini mixed media themed stamps by Peek-A-Boo Designs.
This one was made using distress inks with my favorite stamp - Phineas The Peacock by So Suzy Stamps.
The sentiment is a sticker.
This one has a mix of stamps from Studio G, Altenew and So Suzy Stamps.
This ATC has the Love Balloon and Celebrate stamps by So Suzy Stamps along with the usual suspects, glitter, washi tape and sequins!
This one was challenging, as the theme was love without using the colors : red and pink!
It has quite a few items like rhinestones, pearls etc. adhered to it but, the stamps used for this project are by So Suzy Stamps & Tim Holtz along with the Rhapsody stencil by Memory Box.
Last but not the least, this ATC features a Heidi Swapp stencil with a partial So Suzy Stamp (Stardust Dancing).
I'm sorry I couldn't describe the steps in detail for each and every ATC, because as you can see, they are all different and that would make this post painfully long!
But... if you have any query regarding any of these, drop me an email at : halak.shah@gmail.com OR leave a comment on this blog post and I shall reply to it at the earliest!
Thank you so much for stopping by! *Big Panda Hugs*
All of my ATCs reached the intended recipients on the same day!
What are the odds of that! ^__^
So, without further ado, here are the pics :
ATC #1
This is made using my current favorite mini stamp by Peek-a-boo Designs, called Pixie Dust. 100% made of Photopolymer and priced at a mere Rs. 100/-, this stamp is a great buy and a must have in your stamp arsenal!
I stenciled the background using distress inks (Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn and Black Soot) with my TCW - Texturized stencil.
Stamped sentiment and colored the little hearts using my Sakura pen in neon green.
Glittered up the word Love in black glitter. (Did the three tiny dots next to the word in black glitter too!)
Used two different washi tapes for some added texture and interest.
Added a tiny butterfly and some glitter along the edges and matted it onto black cardstock.
Here's ATC #2
I stenciled the background with a Kaisercraft Quarters stencil using Mowed Lawn and Mustard Seed.
Added a ribbon that co-ordinated with the colors and adhered some golden sequins.
Topped it with a sentiment from a set of sentiment cards I received with my Papericious Planner - Color Splash.
I used some in my planner and some I saved for cards and small projects, they are in such happy colors and so uplifting, I absolutely love using them!
The tiny heart below the sentiment is from a sticker packet bought locally.
Finally, I added glossy accents + a sprinkling of glitter to the sentiment, the tiny heart and a few areas of the stenciled portion.
And these are ATC #3 (Blue) & ATC #4 (Pink-Purple)
ATC #3
I used the Tim Holtz - Scribbles stencil with Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers for this one.
Added glitter to select areas and adhered some heart stickers and sequins.
Sentiment is from Peek-a-boo Designs - Bold Hugs N' Love set in black glitter.
The strip at the bottom is stenciled using Hero Arts - Stylish Borders stencil.
And to finish this piece, I added a thin ribbon in peacock blue color tied up into a pretty bow!
ATC #4
This ATC is based on my earlier design where I made a batch of ATCs for an overseas swap, the only minor differences are :
1. This one is bigger than the ones I sent overseas. (The ones I sent overseas were 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches.)
2. It does not have sequins added to it but the sentiment 'Be' is coated in black glitter.
Stamps are by : So Suzy Stamps - Tulip Stem and, Simon Says Stamp - Be.

Here's a cool little close up of ATC #3 & 4 :
So, that's that. Which one is your favorite? I'd love to know!
Till next time dear friends! *Big Panda Hugs*
Hello and good morning!
It's the 1st of March and the folks at Peek-a-boo Designs (PABD) are back with a brand new challenge!
For this challenge, you gotta make it colorful and it's gotta be in a set... but, it can't be a set of the exact same thing...
Example : A set of two albums = Not allowed. A set of two cards = Not allowed.
But, a set of 1 card and 1 album? Allowed! ^__^
I made a co-ordinating set of 3 pieces that comprise of a card, a bookmark and a tag.
The one on the left with the bright pink striped ribbon is the tag and the one on the right, a bookmark.
I deliberately did not use any 3D embellishments on the bookmark to facilitate it's lamination.
This is the card.
All the 3 projects were made using these brand new PABD stamp sets :
1. Be Good and,
2. Lily Hope
Absolutely fantastic release by PABD because this time, it's not just stamps! They launched cardstock too! Woo hoo!!!
The cardstock is of excellent quality and I had a fabulous experience using it.
My projects were made using the following cardstock by PABD :
1. Black and,
2. White Sand Texture
I'd love to know what you think of the projects and would be super happy if you participate in the challenge!
Check ---- Here for challenge details!
Till next time dear friends! *Hugs*
Hello and good morning!
It's a brand new month and time for a new challenge at Peek-a-boo Designs!
This month we have a tic-tac-toe challenge, that is you can combine the items from the chart in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line!
So much fun! ^__^
Have a look at what I made :
I used the central row with the sequins which are gold in color with a striped element. Also covered the last column by using red / pink, striped element alongwith embossing of the bold sentiment.
Now, I used a row and a column, but you can use any one row / column / diagonal line that you fancy!
I made this project using super awesome February 2016 stamp release by Peek-a-boo Designs.
Here are the pictures of the stamp sets used for your convenience.
The bold sentiments are great for building cool sentiments and so many fun designs + backgrounds can be possible with the plaid! LOVE!!!
Here's a close up of my project.
So, don't forget to participate in this fun challenge, the winner gets a stamp set of their choice!
Check out the deets - Here
Happy crafting! *Hugs*
Hello hello! I was given the fabulous opportunity to design for Peekaboo Designs, an Indian company manufacturing photopolymer stamps and this was my first month of designing using their fantastic range of stamps!
So, here I am, sharing the projects I did for Peekaboo Designs in January.
My opening post consisted of a set of two cards that had a patriotic color scheme. You can read about these two projects - Here
Peekaboo also sponsored a fun challenge over at CSCC and this was the project I did for that using the inspiration picture.

Lastly, I did a set of projects with tutorial using my favorite background stamp by Peekaboo Designs, the Quilted Love.
Read about it - Right Here
The second project I kept plain and simple with a smooshed ink background but ultimately gave in and added a bit of sparkle to it!
I know, incorrigible glitter addict! ^__^
Here are the pics!
Hope you enjoyed looking at them, that was all for Jan, looking forward to a whole lot more of stamping fun!
Till next time! *Hugs*
