Shalini's birthday card revisited

Hey friends,

Thank you to all those who participated in making Shalini's birthday blog hop so special.. She was very moved and literally in tears.. or maybe she was pouring buckets of tears... *wink* but it feels good to have made an effort to make her day good...

Anyways, being in Delhi that was a hurried post so I thought I'll re-post the card and give all the details for the card... Makes sense right...

So here goes...

This is my first card with a Penny Black image and isn't she just gorgeous... Well the papers were a RAK from Tejal and the Penny Black image was a RAK from Piyu.. Thank you lovely ladies and I love you guys.. :-).. Colored this cutie image using my Staedler Water Color Pencils...Did I tell you guys that my color pencils have mysteriously cracked from the center... Have doctored them with cellotape.. Hope it holds up fine...

PANEL 1:

Fabriano Elle Erre cardstock... PPs from Hobby Ideas and DCWV stack which I shared with Karuna.. Another lady I love... :D.. Made a note card and stuck it on one side of the panel... the next panel cut some clouds on Itsy Bitsy handmade paper and wrote Happy Birthday in different languages... The flower stickers are also from Itsy Bitsy... The bottom panel now has scribbled love notes from me... :D...

PANEL 2:

For the second panel I again used a fabriano elle erre cardstock.. The PPs are from Itsy Bitsy and DCWV... The left panel has a handmade sticker which was a RAK from Shruti...Second panel has die cut tags which have been traced and hand cut.. Quotes are hand written... Used some Pie Lane butterflies for embellishments.. The big die cut flower and sentiment is from Itsy Bitsy..

PANEL 3:

Fabriano Elle Erre cardstock and PPs are from Itsy Bitsy and RAK from tejal... The left side has an accordion side folded card... Inside are a lot of corny and sentimental stuff written.. The PP on the accordion fold card is Echo Park and the image is from a MICIA stamp set layered on a die cut which has been traced and hand cut and some faux stitching around it...Right side again a handmade sticker which was a RAK from Shruti...

PANEL 4:

Fabriano Elle Erre cardstock.. PPs are from DCWV and RAK from Tejal.. The left panel has a birthday poem on a die cut traced and hand cut.. Punched some big flower and used Alpha glitter stickers from Itsy Bitsy... Right panel, another poem.. The vase with flowers sticker is from Itsy Bitsy and a Pie Lane butterfly...The bottom panel was a solid colour PP on which I stamped using my Woodware Stamp called Indian Dreams and stuck these adjectives which was generated on Word....

Open View.

All the ribbons used on this card are from my stash... This was one of best cards I've made so far( My opinion)... *wink*.. Loving all the pink and tried to make it like a proper handmade card with craft elements and some handwritten stuff...

Wanna know something very funny... I took this card with em to Delhi, hoping to give it to Shalini when I meet her.. I did meet her... BUT I FORGOT to give it to her.. Iw as so busy jabbering with her that I forgot that I had to give her the card.. Now shall post it to her... LOL...

Anyways... Thanks for dropping by.. Comments welcome always... Happy Ashtami.. :-)

Hugs,
Khush

Return of the goody bag...

Hey friends,
Am back with another kicky post.. Made a cute little goody bag for giving away sweets for my nephew's birthday party next week.. They are pretty fast to make and you can make these using one A4 sheet... And looks adorable..

Take a look at the pic...

Does it look cute to you guys as it looks to me... A close up of the image

For those interested, the tutorial can be viewed here.. Although I have had the measurements for ages, after seeing it on the blog, I got to motivated to make one..

I have a used an A4 yellow Fabriano Elle Erre sheet and cut it to measurement to make the bag.. the handle is made through running one end of the left over scrap through an Ek Success border punch.. The digi image the freebie from the designed2delight progressive challenge and the sentiment is from Fiskars inked using Unity Noir... The spellbinders labels have been traced and hand cut and the PP was a Birthday RAK from Piali.. Those fllower stickers are from Itsy Bitsy..

Nice and easy... with minimal wastage... That's the best thing about this project....
