Happy Birthday Buddy!!

Hey friends,

 My last post before I leave for my holiday to Rajasthan and Agra... It's a birthday card for a friend made on order.. I absolutely am in love with this fold.. It's a 6-fold card and it's final measurement is 6*6.. As you all are very much aware, I love making big cards so am always in search of tutorials which can give me bigger dimensions or I sit and calculate ( the latter takes ages as I suck in Mathematics BIG TIME).. Being a gift to a girl, I went all out to make a PINK card.. Yea, you guessed it right.. I am back in the PINK MODE... and some green too.. Will post the green cards after I come back.. :D

So enough of rambling.. I shall get straight to the card...

I love love this digi from the paper shelter.... Now a view of the card after it opens up in its full glory and then of course the individual shots... I really need to start working on the whole video thing... My posts are getting way too picture heavy... :D

Now I'll quickly just show the individual panels....

The card as it looks after IT'S belly band is removed...Isn't the PP gorgeous.. My heart broke while using this.. (sob sob)

I've embellished it to the minimum as I really wanted to show off the gorgeous PPs in all honesty...So just a sentiment...

Another panel showing off some sentiments...

The bear with the heart on a panel which would open up vertically.. :-)

Friend sentiments... Love you buddies... :D

Just jazzed up the polka dotted PP with a sentiment stamp.. :)

Bling attack part 1.. I missed doing up rhinestone frames so am doing it on this panel and the one that follows... :)

That's all folks.. A nice fold to try put for those who enjoy special folds..:-)...

Supplies:-
Pink Cardstock for base and layering=> Locally purchased
Digi images=> The paper shelter and Sliekje's
Digi Sentiments=> E.T and rest I picked up from the free digital stamps blog.. Don;t remember particularly from whom...

Friendship- Nothing better than it...

Before I start my usual rambling.. Just wanted to thank my cousin who has very patiently sat and cut the image for me.. The shoulder seems to hurt more than usual so she's cut the image and re-sized the papers for me.. rest is all my work.. :D Including the painting.. it took me soo long to paint this image...

Anyways first take a look at the card and then we'd do some talking about it..

This is a tag in a box card.. I had found the tutorial somewhere and had the instructions written.. So in case anyone wants it.. shoot a mail.. will send it over to you...In reality the tag inside the box is supposed to be hinged through a brad.. but since I don't have any at the moment.. I stuck it...so the tag you can see.. I have pulled it out.. I have left it blank to write whatever I have to...

Close up now...

 I had a lot of fun making this card.. I like trying different folds.. Somehow normal single folds don;t appeal to me...

Anyways here are the supplies used:
Cardstock => Fabriano Elle Erre
DP=> Studio Calico
Digi Image=>Anne Bodil
Sentiment=> Our very Own Erum from Vibgyor Crafts
Bling from Pie Lane (Ofcourse)
Fiskars sun burst punch
Ribbon locally brought

The card is made especially for my guru's, i.e. Anita's anniversary challenge wherein we had to make a card for a blogger friend.. My card is for Karuna a.k.a Crafting queen
