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.

Love Card

This is a super quick love card that I made recently. I have used my fav MS punch as CS border. The first row of the horizontal borders is a washi tape from Lulupu store. The other two borders and tag are from the Tigerlily paper pad from Lulupu store. The round love badge is a local buy.
 The alphabet stickers are from Lily Bee Designs that I purchased from Ujjwal.

Wedding Card with MS Punches

Hi all. I made this card and this quilled photo frame for a client who wanted to gift it to her niece immediately after her wedding in court. The bride was thrilled to receive this handmade surprise gift.
To add a personal touch, she added the couple's photo on the tag along with a hand-written message.
The flowers on the band are handmade using 5 petal punch.
The client had to carry the box to Delhi, so I made a sturdy packaging for the card and frame. I upcycled a sweet box by covering it with fancy paper, to hold the gifts.
Here's a peek at the full package..
Thanks a lot for visiting my blog and showering me with so many wonderful comments. I love reading all your comments.

Napkin Fold Card

Hi there! I fell in love with this card that Ujjwal made.... Altough I had seen this fold on the net, but when Ujjwal made this card, I actually realised the beauty of this fold. I couldn't resist and made three Napkin Fold Cards at one go!!

Here's a peek into one of the cards that I made...
I have used MS Doily Lace Punch in this card. This is how the card opens when the band is removed....

This is how it looks when opened flat. I have tried to use the Doily edge punch in such a way that I get neat corners like the doily corner punch.

Floral Frames

Hi friends.... Today I am sharing a set of 3 frames that I made on order. These frames are inspired by this circular easel card made by me. The customer wanted me to make frames by using only the top part of the card in Black, White and Grey shades. She will be framing these circles.


The flowers are handmade without using any punches.
The PP used is from Paper Mania Capsule collection.

Quilled Photo Frame on Order

Hi friends. I know many of you have been telling me that I don't quill as much now. I too miss quilling a lot and I really feel a piece of quilled art really gains lot of appreciation among craft admirers :)
 
So here is a quilled photo frame that I made on order recently. The brief was to use subtle colors for quilling. Therefore I chose pink and to add a contrast added purple small flowers. For the first time I have combined punched leaves also along with few quilled leaves.
Here is a closer look at the flowers...
