Quilled Bookmarks for Swap

This is a long due post. I had made 22 bookmarks for National Quilling Swap arranged by Gopi Shah. 22 people participated in the first ever quilling swap held in India and we had to make bookmarks equal to the number of participants.

This is the entire bunch. I have made all in same design but different colors and the type of papers used are also very different. Do have a look at the individual pics below. I have grouped them by colors.

I have used papers from magazines for these red ones

 For these I have recycled an old greeting card...

 For these I used wrapping paper on top..

 For these I have trimmed borders from journals and punched them

 For the blue ones I used paper scraps and punched them

 Here again I have used all assorted papers, some are from old cards, some from magazines and sone is from Itsy Bitsy sticker backing.

 Here also I have all assorted papers.

CAS Stamped Card

Hi friends. Posting after almost a week today. Not been feeling too well. The weather here is also very weird. It is sunny in the morning and rains every evening with lightning and thunder.
This is a CAS Stamped Card that I made. The colored paper is from Itsy Bitsy. I really like the colors and the texture of this paper. I punched the circles and randomly stamped the same stamp on the circles from different areas. The checkered ribbon is from stash. The star die cut is also from Itsy Bitsy.

Hope you all have a great day. Thanks for stopping by!

Notecards Gift Boxes - Punched Design

I made these Notecards Gift Boxes few months back but was not able to post them. I have few more with different designs as well. This one is the Tile Punch Design. I made 2 boxes of the same pattern: one in blue and one in yellow. I haven't used the MS scoreboard to make them as my score board arrived much later :) I made my own templates for the boxes.

 Each box has a set of 3 notecards matching the outer design and in 3 different colors.

 The box and the three notecards.

 Here are the 2 boxes with the notecard set.

Do let me know how you liked my gift box set. I plan to put 3 matching envies also in the box. These are ideal for gifting.

The BIG Bow Card

Ok so I made this card keeping in mind 2 challenges: For the love of Crafting - BINGO Color Challenge and Itsy Bitsy's Big B challenge.

Hope I did justice to both the challenges. This card is sort of inspired from the cards I posted day before yesterday. I have used MS deep edge arches punch. I punched a 2 1/2 inch wide strip from both sides. Then I tied the bow on the punched strip and then adhered it to the base.

 Front view of the card...

 These flowers are handmade. I made them in many colors. They are pretty easy to make with a 5 petal punch. I used the blue ones here too for baby rocker card.

 And here is the pretty bow. Isn't the brad so cute! I love these brads so much that I hardly use them. Don't want them to get over. I made those small pins by weaving the beads in a wire.

It's freebie time today. To download the image, right click and Save As. Keep checking my Freebies/Templates section for more and let me know your feedback about this.

Baby Boy Rocker Card

Hey peeps! I made a rocker card for the first time. I think its perfect for a baby card as it rocks like a baby's cradle. I made a baby boy themed card for a dear friend who was blesse with a baby boy this week.

The pattern paper is from Paper Mania. And the image is also from Paper Mania "Me to You" pack. The flowers are handmade using 5 petal punch. The sentiment is a free digi stamp from Tracey's blog.

I have used assorted stickers to decorate the inside of the card.. The small footprints punch is from Itsy Bitsy.

Do lemme know how you like this card. I also made a similar baby girl card. Will share it soon.

CASEd Card

I absolutely fell in love with this card that I saw on Pinterest and could not hold myself back from replicating it. Although Carol has used a laser cut for this, I have used my MS Lace Punch for the card. It was so easy to make these cards that I made two of them at one go.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a great day!
