Triple Circular Easel Card - Birthday

I was just sorting out my cards folder on my laptop and realised I had not posted some of my cards made previously. So, I am going to clear all the backlog and post them one by one in the days to come.

This card is similiar to the Triple Circular Easel Card I had made earlier. The difference is mainly the color theme.

 

The flowers are a mix of prima and locally bought flowers. The sentiments are all free digs.

 

 

For the bottom panel I have attached the top PP with a brad, so that it can be moved to write a secret message below.

Heart-shaped Triple Easel Card

Hey there.... today I am sharing a very special card that I made for my husband. It's a heart-shaped triple easel card. I used red CS for this and the paper pack is from DCWV.

The flowers are handmade. I had earlier posted a tutorial on my blog for these flowers.

This is how it looks when laid flat.

Triple Circular Easel Card

Hi. I made this card some time back based on my this hexagon triple easel card. I really love easel cards and this triple easel card makes it so much fun as you have so much space to add so many elements. I have created my own template for this. So it can be recreated in any size.

The flowers are a mix of prima and locally bought flowers. The sentiments are all free digs.

Baker's Twine Border

I was really impressed with the idea of using Baker's Twine in so many ways by Color Conceptions challenge blog. I decided to use the BT that I had in my stash since a long time, waiting to be used.

This is what I came up with. It's a circular easel card in red base. The top white portion is the card board type material that lines the inside of the lid of cereal bottle, like Muesli, etc. I stamped directly onto it with Micia Birthday song stamp from Lulupu store. Then I decided to sew a frame with BT for the top portion of my card. I glittered the cake, the dress, bow and cheeks of the girl with stickles glitter glue.

 Here are a few close-ups...

Monochromatic Easel Card

Hi All. Today I am sharing an easel card that I made on order. My client wanted an easel card to accomodate a picture of her mom-in-law along with some sweet wordings that she had sent. At the bottom, she wanted to put up a picture of herself and her husband along with some more personalised messages.

She also wanted lots of quilling on the card. So this is what I came up with. Monocrhomatic theme is just a co-incidence. I have mainly used green and yellow..

Square Easel Card

Finally I figured out how to use the Martha Stewart Crafts Punch Around the Page, Swirling Lace Punch Set, that I had bought few months back. I made a square easel card and used the punch around the page.

This big rose is perhaps one of the easiest roses that I have made. The smaller ones are swirl rose die cuts sent by Juhi as a RAK. The flourish die cut was also sent by Juhi. Thanks Juhi :)

Side look of the card...

 On the inner side I have embellished with some ready made flowers and punched leaves.

Groovy Chic Easel Card

Hi Friends!! I have been MIA for some time now from blogland..... and yeah I did miss it a lot. Dunno but I was just not feeling like blogging at all. So it was sort of a self-imposed break from blogging and crafting. I missed many of your posts too. But on and off I managed to see some of your wonderful stuff.... like Snehal's beautiful albums, Hussena and Priya's shabby chic cards.

I have not really crafted since more than a month now, so the card I am posting today is not recently made. I have used digis from digimyworld.com that I won for a craft challenge. I tried coloring the girl using Faber Castell Watercolor pencils.

 The opened up Easel card...

Have a great day!

Best Wishes on your Wedding

Hi All. Hope you had a great time with family on Dushera. The festival season has started in India and I feel like going shopping, celebrating with family and taking a break from craft. Have not crafted since a long time now.

Just then my husband asked me to make a card for his colleague who recently got married.

This is what I came up with. It's an easel card. I wanted to have a lace and pearl effect in white as she is a Christian. I used my MS Lace punch for the upper part. The pretty pink matt textured paper is a RAK from Hussena.

The flower is handmade and is really very easy to make. I made it in 3 different colors. Might share a tute as soon as time permits. The sentiment is from Itsy Bitsy. The matching pink lace is from Pune. And the white satin ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

 A closer look at the flower....

Pastel Easel Card

Heyy all! I have been waiting to post this card since the day I made it. I don't plan my cards so I was really happy the way it came out. All the elements kind of gelled so well with each other.

The CS is from Pie Lane. The PP is from Paper Mania.  I have used a doily on the upper half and lined it with lace. The white flowers are also special as they are made from the same lace. The blue mulberry flowers are from Ujjwal's store. The peach colored cherry blossoms were actually on a tag that came along with a candle. I have reused them here.  The sentiment and flower stickers next to it is from Itsy Bitsy.

 Erum had illustrated how to make these flowers. You may like to have a look at her tutorial here...

Black and white circular easel card

Hi All. Today I have another black and white, circular easel card to share, but with a dash of blue. I made this card keeping in mind the challenge at Beyond Grey Challenge blog. I guess I just made it in time as today is the last day of submission.

The PP is from Kavitha's store. I really like the way the dotted PP gels with the striped one. The white lace adds a magical touch to the card. The glitter pot sticker and the birdy are from Itsy Bitsy. And so are the flowers used on the inner panel. The sentiment is a digi.

This is how the card looks when opened. I have hand cut the white part to write the message on. I added flowers from Itsy Bitsy as embelishment.

And yes, did you all notice my new watermark? I have been wanting to change my watermark since a long time, and finally came up with this. I really wanted something that resembles my style and the things I love. I am crazy for flowers, so I added the flowers, on two sides :) and yeah swirls too!!

 I really want to hear from you all, how you liked it.

Circular Easel Card

Hi Folks. Today I am posting a very lovey dovey pink card apt for wedding/anniversary/proposal.

About the card:

Upper part: The major element of this card i.e. the PP is a recycled stuff. The whole idea of the card cropped up form this one image. It is a page from an interior design magazine. So you can see the glossiness of the PP. There is a striped wall and a plain wall ; you can also see a part of the roof and a hanging lamp. The chandelier is a digi and the flowers are punched. The ribbon was a RAK from Neha Gala during one of our ICR meets. I must say I am quite addicted to these Pie Lane swirl stickers now. Feel like using them in all the cards that I am making now. The silver butterfly is also from Pie Lane.

The Base: I wanted to create a wedding effect with wedding/engagement rings, and that's when I thought of using quilled rings. I used a pink gem stone for the lady's ring. Here again I have used similar flowers but in smaller size, and Pie Lane stickers and butterfly.

The gorgeous white pearl sticker is from Crawford market. I have it in blue and purple as well. :) 

 A close-up of the rings...

Do let me know how you like my card :)

P.S.: In case interested, I had earlier posted a tutorial for these flowers here. And yesterday I had posted a card using same flowers.

Valentine Card with Non Traditional colors

 Hi All! Hope you all are having a fun weekend. I made an easel card today based on some of the challenges I wanted to enter. My starting point was Mojo Monday Sketch #226.

I chose the round card and made a circular easel card for the first time. I have been wanting to make one ever since I saw this card made by my dear friend Priya Sondhi.  
Though my card is a love card, the colors used are non traditional. I used two of my most favorite colors - Yellow and Purple. The big bloom and leaves are handmade without using and punches or diecuts. [See similar but bigger bloom on my other card here].

The lovely cream colored roses are a gift from my friend which she got during her visit to UK. The purple mulberry roses are purchased from Ujjwal's store. The sentiment is from Itsy Bitsy. The silver swirls are from Pie Lane. The buttons are from my stash.

 A peek into the inside of the card...

Triple Easel Card

It is that time of the year when I make a special card for the most amazing couple in my life! Yes, it was my mom & dad's anniversary on 13th Oct. I sent the card to them and they absolutely loved it. They are the ones who have always appreciated my talent and given me the courage to tread my way.

Since the card had to be extra special, I wanted to try something different. So, here is my first try at the Triple Easel Card. I printed the wordings for 'Mom' & 'Dad' and hand-cut them. All the flowers are punched. The white pearls are from a local shop. The wordings on the lower panels are also printed on card paper. I added silver glitter balls (from Pie Lane) to decorate and emphasize 'Happy Anniversary'. The heart-shaped blue-colored stones act as stoppers.
