Love Birds

Happy Sunday guys,

We are almost approaching Diwali and I am just so busy with orders, house cleaning, personal gifts, cards and top of that preparations for my nephews wedding... Did it feel like I was ranting.. I suppose I was but am sleep deprived and not keeping completely well so I guess a rant once in awhile is ok..

Just sharing a quick card using the CAS(E) this sketch#3...

Here is the challenge sketch...

here is my take on the sketch..

 card lying flat

Fairly easy card of 5'x7' dimension... Following the sketch, I based my scene inside the scallop circle which is traced and hand cut.Popped the birds after stamping and fussy cutting on some dimensional adhesive.. Used glue and gloss (Indian version of glossy accents) on the heart to make it pop...I used my black BIC markers to give a faux mat effect ( Thanks Tee for this)

Supplies used:-
Cardstock=> fabriano Elle Erre
PP=> DCWV
Stamp set=> recollections love birds
Inks=> Unity noir and lily green, memento lady bug and grape jelly
BIC markers for coloring
Glue and gloss

Entering this for the CAS(E) this sketch challenge #3...

Have a wonderful day and a great week...

Quad easel card

Hi Guys,

If you are coming for Tejal's blog hop, kindly click here to go to the post.

I made a Quad Easel for Tejal's birthday... Just sharing detailed shots of the card.. Am frickin' impatient and could not wait any longer to share the pics...

Making cards for special friends is very difficult... For anything you make doesn't feel good enough and making a card for Tejal was scary.. Not because she wouldn't like it but she is such a perfectionist and I am far from perfect.. I should say me and perfection have no bonding at all.. :P

So I decided to go with what I do best... Bright colors and special fold cards... I had been meaning to try the quad easel card for ages... Looks complicated but is so easy to assemble...It looks like a table decoration and can be manipulated to be just about anything...a card.. a frame.. center piece... Numerous options...

Well, enough of rambling... Will just go and show you the detailed shots of the card...

love you-multi flap mini

Hey guys,

How is everyone doing.. I am neck in work while my health continues to trouble me. The blood pressure refuses to rise.. I guess high time I picked on a fight.. :P..Haha.. jokes apart it has been really difficult to craft.. I feel sleepy all the time thanks to my low BP..

Anyways sharing with a multi flap mini I made for my bestie... He has been married 3 years and wanted to gift something special to his wife whom he had dated for 12 years before tying the knot. The gift is they 15th anniversary gift (12+3)... :D... They have shared I guess a zillion cards from Archies ( they were the favored customers of our local archies store) and have quite a huge collection of the cards.. So his only request was, the poems from all their numerous cards be incorporated into his mini ( his favorite verses from the cards have been handwritten by me).. I always did write for him in the cards and I guess we continue with the trend.. LOL...

So I made this multi flap mini.. it's a 6x6 mini and it was a huge challenge for I am at a complete loss as to what to put in them.. Moreover since I would be putting in no pics ( that's another album in the making with their journey pics).. So it was digis and lots of mush...

I won't really ramble much.. Just share pictures.. It's a multi-fold mini but I cannot show you the folds through pictures.. I do have a video but have no clue how to edit it.. Still learning.. Once I get hold of how to edit would add it to the end of the post or maybe another post...

So here goes...!!

 cover page

turn the cover and this is how it opens up

this is how the page looks once you turn the page with the deco shells punch

another flap

centre panel unflapped

last fold

unveiled

all the flaps-unflapped

the end

This was one of the most tedious projects I have ever undertaken.. Took me ages to complete but was worth every minute spent on it.. The smile on the couple's face was unbelievable. I could not have been happier.

Supplies used:-
cardstock=> Locally purchased, Itsy Bitsy
PPs=> DCWV, Hobby Ideas and a scrapbooking kit purchased in Phuket
Digis=> Sarah Kay, The paper shelter, and taken off from the net
Coloring medium=> Staedler water color pencils
Die cuts traced and hand cut
Deco shells around the page punch, Ek success butterfly chain punch
Embellishments=. just way too many places to remember

Entering this for the following challenges:-
Crafters corner=> Celebrate with flowers
PCJ=> Add some bling
Penny's paper crafty challenge blog=> Anything but a card
Party Time Tuesdays=> Anything but a card
Incy Wincy Designs=> Anything goes
The cutie Pie challenge blog=> use a digi
