Pocket Card

Hi guys. This card is inspired by the pocket card illustrated by Nikita at Lulupu. The fold is not exactly similar to her card. I saw this particular fold on You Tube.

White on White Wedding Card

Hi everyone! Hope all of you had a great weekend. I made this white on white card for BGC challenge over the weekend. I really liked this challenge and as soon as I read about it, I started visualising this card in my mind.

It is a center step card and I used an A4 sheet for this. So the card is quite big. I have used lots of punches here. The bride dress is made using paper doileys. I used two doileys to layer the dress.

 Here is a side view of the card.

I have used Martha Stewart Double Arches punch for the sides and Diamond Fence for the inner sides on both sides. I also used  Diamond Fence punch for the bottom panel.

Here's a close look at the sentiment and the hearts that I cut out from the lattice heart punch. 

Not sure if you noticed it. I have used a nylon net, that comes with some bottles as part of packaging, for the background behind the bride.

Happy Birthday Bro

Hi. Today I am sharing a card I made for my brother's birthday. It's such a task to make cards for men. I can only think of Blue and Brown colors to be used :)

I have layered 2 PPs for the card and 1 embossed plain blue paper, which is actually not quite visible.

For the center part I did some stamping in black on the blue oval die cut. Then I stuck the alphabets on top of the die cut.

The black ribbon is from my stash and the button is from Pie Lane.

Also wanted to share that I was in Top 3 at Lulupu for their Make you own embellishments challenge for this card and I also won Hussena's challenge at Yvonne's blog for my Sweet peas card.

This Used to be...Price Tags

Hi All. This is the second card I made using Tim Holtz Stamp set. I have used 4 elements from the stamp set to create the bg. If you scroll below, you will see the stamp used and also the elements that were recycled to embellish the card.

 I have made these flowers using 5 petal punch. This is the same punch I used to create the roses here.

 I have used 3 different tags to make the leaves, flowers and to place behind the die cut.

The tutorial to make these leaves is shared here.

In case you missed the other card that I made with same stamp, here it is..

I am entering them in PPS Challenge.

Vintage Charm

Hi peeps! I am so happy to share this card. I had bought this pretty stamp set from Kavitha's store long back and couldn't get to use the Eiffel Tower. I have tried to create a vintage look for this card and you know what, I actually used "vintage" paper for this.

The crumpled paper on top and bottom is from an old Diary from the year 1996. I actually love collecting diaries. I tore it randomly and crumpled and inked the edges to get this look. 

The PP in the middle is from vintage queen Mallika, sent for a PP swap.

I have stamped other elements from the stamp set and cut them to use as embellishments, like the postal stamp on top and the round Paris stamp.

 These are the same flowers I used in my card here. These are made by me using 5 petal punch. The tutorial to make these roses is here. Also see here my tutorial for making the leaves used in the card. I have made them out of old price tags.

 A close-up of the stamp and the charm...The metal charm is from an old friendship band.

I have used this sketch from ICR and flipped it to make my card.

DIY Flowers and Leaves

Hi all. I love to make flowers for my projects and I am so glad I saw this tute on You Tube to make roses using 5 petal punch. Now I can make them in any color I like and will never run out of them!!

Also I have made these leaves using old price tags. Below is a tutorail on how to recycle price tags to make your own embellishments.

Here is a look at my card. These lovely flourish die cuts are from Jovi's store.

 A closer look at the roses... don't they look super cute!

Shabby Chic Card

Hi friends. Today I am sharing another CAS card. I hope I am right in calling it a shabby chic card. It has this vintage feel because of the chair and lamp. I just had a wague idea of vintage interiors in mind and I wanted to keep it simple.

The lamp is printed on card stock and fussy cut. The frame is also handcut.

The chair is from Paper Mania pattern paper collection.

 The flower pot is a digi and I have done paper piecing for the pot. The flowers are colored using Faber Castell water color pencils.

Quilled Paisley

Some projects take unusually longer time to end! Has it happened with you as well? I started this card some time last year but never could finish it off. Guess everything happens at the right time. I was waiting for the right elements to complete it :)

I tried a quilled paisley for the first time. I love paisley shapes and really wanted to make it in quilling. The look of the card is quite traditional and Indian.

Hope you like my card. Have a great day!
