Magic Explosion Box - Cake

Hi everyone! I am back with a brand new post today and some happy news!

This is an explosion box that I made few days back. It's a pretty pink box with a cute cake inside. What's interesting about the cake is that the base is a platic scoop that comes with milk/protein powder boxes. I just cut off the handle and covered it neatly with fabric lace, plastic lace and embellished it with fabric roses and pearls/crystals. Easy peasy, isn't it? :)

Cute Animals Card

Hi there. Today I am sharing a card which is quite different from my usual type. It is a tall card and I have done stamping also to try out this new stamp set that I purchased :) 

I have kept the card pretty simple and added a punched border on sides. The orange panel is stuck using foam tape, so it has this 3D feel to it.

I would also like to share some of my recent wins at various blogs for my Shabby Chic Cart. I am overwhemled with such great comments and appreciation for my project.

1. I made it Top 3 and won the Shabby Chic Challenge #24 at BGC

2. I made it to the Top 3 at MilkCoffee Challenge - Make it Cute

3. I won at Sarah Hurley Challenges #77 - Anything but a Card
4. I won at Crafter's Corner #5 - Expression of Love

Hope you like my today's card as well.

Liebster Blog Award

Hi All,
I am delighted to receive the Liebster Blog Award from Neha.

The idea of the Liebster Blog Award is to spread the love from one small blog (under 200 followers) to other small blogs. This helps to spread knowledge and readership.

To accept the award, you must:
1) Link back to the person who gave it and thank them for thinking of you.
2) Post the award to your blog.
3) Give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.
4) Leave a comment on the blogs of the five people you have chosen to let them know.


So ..........I am passing this award to:
1) Hussena - My best blogger buddy. She is the most genuine person I have met on the blogland.
2) Archana Burkhe - I love her distinct style and the flowers she makes.
3) Priya Sondhi - My sweet graduation buddy. I love her work.
4) Gayathri - I love her cards. They are so classy.
5) Archana - Another very talented blogger.

I also wanted to share another award that I received recently. I was in Top 3 at ICRC15 -

Hey buddies! A quick post on another blog award that I received from Kavitha.

Thanks so much Kavi. You have immense talent and a big heart to share it with so many others through your art school. Guys check out her awesome blog.

I am passing this award to the following wonderful bloggers :)
1. Jovi
2. Hussena
3. Snehal
4. Deepti



My first blog award!!

Wow! This seems to be a good month for me and my blog! Won the first ever blog award from 2 lovely ladies at the same time! :) Thanks Hussena & Shubhra !!

And so now according to the rules I need to share a few things about myself..............

1. I am crazy for crafts. I love all sorts of crafts and sometimes get drifted from one art form to another :) For now I am trying to concentrate on 'Quilling'!

2. I would love to give up my job for being a full time crafter. Alas! Dunno if that would really be possible.

3. Being a crabby (cancerian) I am mostly an indoor person, and that gives me all the more chance to indulge in crafts.

4. I am a keen craft/art observer. Some of the crafts I learnt are actually the ones I observed whiel accompanying my mum for her crafts classes :)

5. Most of the people around me know my penchant and love for crafts, coz that's what I love talking about most!

6. I have an eye for details. I remember once I had visited a restaurant in Chandigarh (Punjab, India), for lunch and saw a lovely set of 3 paitings. The first thing I did after coming back home was to make one for myself, a close replica of the same :) and that too w/o any reference.

7. I love soft romantic music, but can listen to other forms as well :)

8. I love cake decoration and sugar craft.

I am passing this award to few people whose work I like or admire. So here they are (in no particular order):

1. Dr Sonia SV:  for sharing such awesome tutorials & such fab work!

2. Asma' Ahmad Bahari: I simply love her creations. She is such a perfectionist.

3. Azlina Lin: I am an ardent fan of her work. Really admire her work a lot.

4. ManuK: really like her creative quilling and bright colors she uses :)

5. Miyyah: She has an eye for a different type of quilling never seen anywhere else!

6. Kavitha: for her passion for crafts. She is an artist par excellence.

7. Paula: for her eye for details. You have to see the quilled tiger she made. 

Cheers & Happy crafting!!
