Mom's the word!

Hi Readers,

Here is a what I got fixed up early this morning for my friend who ordered it for her mother.
Add a crimped border for more detailing. It really stands out.
The flowers are handmade though they are easily available to buy too.

A side view:
            

Here is a close up of the handmade rose. I have tinted it with one of the pink pigments I recently purchased. Also notice the difference the crimped border makes!
                 


You can also have flowers like these :
                                        

Have used distress inks at the edges of the petals.

Its really easy to make and takes just an hour if you've already figured out the design beforehand. Make a bunch of these flowers and keep ready. Tint them in the end just before using them when you've decided what color you want them to be.

So wait for my next post. Please leave your comments below.
Happy crafting :)

Beginner's Luck...

A quick post here for a simple quilled card. One of my first ever tries with Quilling.

The leaves are made using the quilling comb.
I bought this Happy Birthday stamp recently. It works well for these smaller cards.
An intelligent choice of colors and this is what you get.

Again a simple yet attractive design.

Flowers and Ferns

Welcome back :)
Today I have for you another quilling project. Its one of my favourites.
Had got this together just in time for my Mom and Dad's Anniversary.
They thoroughly loved it. It takes a bit of time though and a lot of patience.
So here it is... Clap. Clap.

Hope you loved it too. The butterfly is textured though the Burnt paper technique.
You should have seen the face of the shopkeeper when I asked him for a cigarette lighter at a local tea shop nearby :)
A little bit of beads and a 'Happy Anniversary' embellishment and we are done.

                  

Again with a little supplies we can see this through.

The Quilling Recipe.

Oh, what joy it is to know the art of Quilling!

This was my first quilled card. Made this for a friend who wanted to gift it to his girlfriend. Have heard their hearts got quilled together after she saw this card :D
Ok, so quilling is a great way to add more depth to your work. It beautifies the whole thing and looks elegant too.

I bordered the card with thin rope to make a difference. Again bare minimum supplies and a great outcome.


 

Quill with shaded quilling paper to make more detailed flowers, leaves or anything. Almost all shapes of anything can be quilled. Just get your quilling kit and roll!!

Have fun quilling!

Doctor's Presciption....

I know we all hate doctors. They just want you to keep coming to them :D So to please them so that they don't sell my soul while they sell their own, I got down to making a doctor themed card.
Here is how it looks:

I have added the medical logo for greater detail. Also don't miss the tie which I learnt from Origami.
A bit of cutting,scoring and clipping in the right areas, and Bingo! you have a complete doctor's suit (without the pants of course :)).

Right after I made this it got sold to a close friend who gave it to her doctor friend. I also wrote in the name on the name tag beside the logo for a more customised look.

Awaiting your comments as usual.

All in a Day's Work!

Hi Everyone!

I still remember the day I made this card. I was totally fagged out after a gruelling day at work. Bosses will be bosses 😖. I just had to finish this one as I had to deliver it the next day or the same day it was already past 12 pm!! I have never let down my clients (that Customers are Kings concept) and so I stayed up making this card. But with craft I can never feel the time pass and soon I had this card ready:

It opens like this:
                                


Except for the flowers in the window and the Happy Birthday sticker, everything is made with just great papers and a great pair of scissors. The bare minimum!

Another angle where you can see my handmade embellishments:

 

I used printed paper for the curtains. Actually the window background should have been blue but I ran out of that color paper :p Maybe there was a thunderstorm or something so the sky turned green :D Then I used wool (Fun fact: I also knit) and made the little saying get more attention by making it stand out using double sided tape. Also I' am getting to be a great fan of these distress inks. What a discovery I made! They add a great amount of detail to your work.

So again a very simple and cost effective design. Please leave your comments below. I really look forward to them.

Hello Everyone!!

I made this card for my Dad for his Birthday. He just loves his tools. On his day off you can find him repairing an ill iron box or even rewiring the house, despite my mom's frantic screams!! Since I was born I have never seen a plumber or an electrician enter my home. My Dad was our household hero!!

So then I thought of this idea. If you have dies of these tools it becomes way easier. But since I don't (the Big Shot is way bigger than my salary :)) so I simply cut them out of my cardstock base.These tools move. I used brads to attach them to the base.

The highlight though is of this wood textured paper which I found online. Also a local shop had these wooden buttons which I just grabbed. The whole lot of them. They really add a good deal of charm.

So there you go another card with bare minimum supplies :)

Your comments are really important to me. So let me know how you feel.
 

Grandma's Recipe!!

                     Card Design: #A0001  Selling for: Rs.250/- (Exclusive of delivery charges)

Hello Everyone!

My grandmother's birthday is round the corner; and what better way to surprise her than to post this card to her.  Had even wrote her a letter and stuffed in some cash in to help brighten up her day 😊.

You must be wondering whats that ribbon on the top for. I hope my grandmother figures that out! Now this is not your traditional one fold card. Yeah that's kind of boring right, though I've made quite a few of those kinds (you will see in my future posts). So this card opens like this:

TADA!!  😃
                     

 It comes out completely like this:

                      

I call my grandmother Nana, in case you are wondering who Nana is :)

Here is how I made this. Hope it helps you to replicate this:

This card is compelety handmade. No cricuts, stamps, dies, punches... nothing at all.
I just cut out these flowers and leaves and just randomly pasted them onto a base.
The printed paper is easily available online.
You can see I have distressed the edges of my paper with Staz On Ink (Ganache).
Use beads and buttons to decorate.

Tip: Neatness counts. Great finishing leverages the beauty of your creation.

I hope you've liked this recipe.
As well as my Grandma. Stay tuned in and I will tell you how she liked it.
Also my next post is interesting as well.

Tell me how you've liked this.
