 Diwali is a colorful fun festival ! My daughter made this rainbow colored festive card using glitter foam . The background was made using rainbow colors of Zig Watercolor Brush Pens  over the TCW Mini Solace stencil and smooshing Gansai Tambo Starry Gold over it.
This card is a variation of another Diwali Card shared earlier  using the same stencil and rainbow color

Here is the matching Diwali Decoration made using the negative from the diecut Diya used to make the card.

Easy Diwali Cards

Handmade Diwali Cards

Hi friends...we are having our festival Diwali in a few days time and these are the quick and easy cards my daughter and I made for her teachers.

Handmade Diwali Cards

Diwali is called the "festival of lights" and during this time we light up our homes with little lamps called diyas [shaped just like the one in the card]. It is so amazing to see !

Handmade Diwali Cards

We made the cards in variations of a rainbow color scheme as Diwali too, like most Indian festivals is a colorful affair with everyone dressing in gorgeous new dresses and making and gifting yummy colorful sweets!!

Handmade Diwali Cards

 My daughter used a stencil and distress inks  to make the different variations of the cards. I helped in the cutting and matting of the cards!

Stencil

Each stencil card was layered on magenta colored metallic card stock and matted again on white card stock so though simple and flat it has lovely layers to it.

Handmade Diwali Cards

Most of my regular readers know that my daughter has an artistic flair.....well she is experimenting with calligraphy [which she learnt on her own] and wrote the stylish sentiment inside the cards....forgive me for boasting like a proud mom but isnt it cool!!!

Handmade Diwali Card

And that is one set of easy Diwali cards !

This Diwali card is festive to the core...its all sparkly and colorful!
        The central heat embossed and water-colored background panel was framed inside Winnie and Walter  Essentials Audrey Cutaways die , a die you have been seeing in literally every post recently!!

Diwali Card

        Hi friends , Thank you so much for putting up with my frequent posts and dropping in to comment!! This is a simple and colorful Diwali card, our Indian festival celebrated with crackers,colorful new clothes and delicious sweets!

Diwali Card

          I made the background by repeatedly die cutting with a Couture Creations Venetta die ...this was a die I had picked up while it was on sale and later discovered I didnt like it much but love how I could use the negative of the die to make a nice background in this card !!

         The "Happy" was die cut from  rainbow colored craft foam....its one of my favorite dies and I could happily add it to every card I make without getting bored!!

Diwali Pop up Cards and Template

Diwali Pop up Cards

Its Diwali time in India.Diwali is an Indian festival of lights and is celebrated with lamps, lights and crackers.I was too lazy to make any Diwali cards earlier but today my daughter had Diwali celebrations in school and this morning we whipped up 2 super quick Diwali pop up cards. 

I kept the front of the card simple and stuck a  lighted lamp sticker with foam tape on some gorgeous white embossed cards Lisa Jane had sent me in her giveaway.[ Thank You Lisa those embossed cards are awesome]

Here is the closeup of the Diwali Pop up card pattern. It was pretty easy to make this pop up card- No craft knife involved only scissors and folding!

I am always amazed at the generosity of bloggers!Last night my husband came home with a parcel from my blogger pal Jovita who has opened a new craft store and is selling Pie Lane stuff and lots of other goodies. She had sent my daughter some gorgeous Pie Lane Diwali themed stickers and making these cards with those stickers was a breeze-- my daughter really enjoyed herself! Thank You so much Jovi.

My daughter has 2 teachers and we made fairly similar Diwali cards using different stickers

The Diwali themed stickers looked so gorgeous I didnt want to clutter the pop up card with any other elements.
