multi-fold note cards day #1=> Easel cards

Hello everyone,

The last swap at swap central India saw up swapping multi-fold notecards, 4 cards of each of 5 different folds and each card had to be different.

To say it was a mammoth task would be an understatement. I wasted so many card stocks and finally one fine day, the brain started working and then there was no stopping it.

I will be posting each fold as a separate post instead of making one big post. This way I will also have things regularly being updated on my blog.. LOL

Today I will be sharing my easel cards with you.. I absolutely love making easel cards. They are just so versatile and there are endless possibilities as to how you can incorporate different elements to do up your easel cards.

I tried all the various types and wasting enough paper to realize that it is best to keep it simple...

So without further rambling, here goes...

I love the ric-rac in rainbow colors... I did add pearls to the punched card stock on the base later on so they are not here. Added them as an after thought.
Supplies used:-
Card stock=> white 300 gsm paper locally purchased and fabriano scraps for die-cutting
Polka dotted Washi tape on the border
PTI ric-rac die. Spell binders floral ovals for the oval cut
MS 3-1 butterfly punch and Deco shells
Bling from stash.

Finally understanding the concept of the use of negative space, love the outcome of this card. Looks like the giraffe is peeking inside a window.. :D

Suppleis Used:-
card stock=> Locally purchased
Digi was found on Pinterest
negative space of floral ovals die
Black pearls RAK from Spardha (Thanks girlie)
MS doily lace punch
Staedler water color pencils for coloring.

Lots of stamping and some fussy cutting on this easel card.

Supplies used:-
Card stpck=> Locally purchased and fabriano elle erre
stamps=> recollections love bird and HA Playful Animals
Inks=> Unity Noir and Memento
Itsy Bitsy boutique flower inked using tea dye distress Ink

This one if my favorite of the lot. Love the heat embossed vellum butterfly against all that black and pink.

Supplies:-
Card stock=> Locally purchased
Darice interlocking circles embossing folder from Priya's store
Spell binders heart circle die
HA antique engravings stamp set
Versamark embossing ink
zing white embossing power from crafters corner
MS doily lace from crafters corner
bling from stash
worn lipstick distress ink

Friendship day swap at swap central

Hey guys,

Back with another post.. This is my post of revealing the contents of the friendship day swap at Swap Central. For all those of you who do not know about swap central, it is a unique blog started by 3 MAD craft enthusiasts, namely Tejal, Saumya and Me. We are unique in the sense that we swap handmade goodness based on the theme of the swap. We have been totally floored by the response by all the people who have participated and we are totally humbled by it. Thank you so much guys for all the love and hope to see you guys showing us more love as we go along. We have some fun swaps coming up.

Anyways, enough of rambling, I shall just go on to show you the pics of the swap. We had to make four 4x4 note cards, a notebook and a friendship band. So here goes the pics.

 

 I have used Fabriano Card stock, Washi tapes, Fiskars stamp set and MICIA ink along with worn lipstick distress ink on this note card

This card has Fabriano card stock, Paper mania PP, digi image, alpha stickers from Itsy Bitsy and broken china distress ink. the image is colored using steadler water color pencils.

Fabriano card stock and Brustro for stamping, Maya road doilies stamp, Memento Dandelion ink, Sentiment from Fiskars inked using Unity noir ink, Adhesive gem stones from stash.

Fabriano card stock, Paper mania PP, Fiskars stamp, unity lilac ink, Die butterflies from PTI-traced, handcut and zentagled upon, vintage photo distress ink.

The notebook has been made using high quality bond paper and a card stock for cover. It is 5x5 in size and I got it spiral bound locally. The PP is Echo Park, some washi tape, bling from stash, Surfer Anya stamp from the greeting farm colored using steadler water color pencils, faux stitching.

A consolidated pic of the swap contents including the alpha beaded friendship band.

I had a lot of fun making this swap.. I got to use my new love-the washi tapes, I tried some zentangling which is very therapeutic, some stamping and lots and lots of coloring. Hope you guys like it too..

Did you see my Watermark?? I finally got it done and started using it and feel mighty chuffed about it.. LOL.. Thanks Tee.. Totally appreciate it!

Please do your valuable comments as they are highly appreciable. Have a crafty week and a super day.

CD mini for Swap Central India

Hi guys,

Am back with yet another post and his time it's a CD mini.. Yayy...!! Made this mini as part of the first swap for swap central and I had a ball making it.. It was challenging for me for quite a few reasons.. One I suck at minis.. I always get lost as to how to embellish it.. Two, the space constraint.. You realize how small CD really when you try to work on it... Three.. Well it was fir the first time I was making it so I was bound to be a bit apprehensive about trying it...!!

Anyways,

I won't talk much and just show you the pics... the pics have been taken from the swap central blog!

 

There really is not much need to speak... I guess the pictures say it all...

Entering it for the PPS challenge which is recycling...


please do leave your comments as it helps me improve myself...Have a great weekend..


Hugs,
Khush

Swap Central India

Hey guys,

Mid-week blues on is it?? The heat in kolkata is absolutely killer and is making me lethargic but irrespective of  that, I have been crafting and will post some of the new creations soon...

Like I mentioned in my post a few days back...There is a new swap station in town called Swap Central India.. But it of course has to be different. It is the brain child of numerous BBM chats between Tejal, Saumya and me of course. Thank God for BBM .. :D The idea behind it is to exchange hand crafted good made out of paper crafts.. It is our love of paper crafts which binds us all together.. So this unique concept gave birth to the new blog.. Of course we are not ruling out the exchange of craft supplies but we would mainly be focusing on hand crafted goodness

Really happy with the way things have progressed and we are breaking and banging our heads to come up with new ideas to swap so as to keep it as interesting as possible for our fellow crafters so that we all can join in and have fun together...

So what are you waiting for.. Go ahead and checking out the swap central blog and register for the first swap which is up and running.... Follow the blog so that you do not miss out any of the updates...

Lots of crafty goodness to be exchanged

Hugs,
Khush

Just some chit chat!!

hey guys,

How has everyone been?? I have just returned from a fabulous trip to Agra, Mathura, Girirajji and Vrindavan.. It was awesome.. Seeing the Taj Mahal in reality was a humbling experience.. A flawless beauty which truly is a symbol of love... I am still stumped by it to be honest..

Isn't it totally grand...!!!

And here I am standing in front of the Taj holding Angel in my arms.. She slept right as we entered the main premises of the Taj and got up as soon as we entering the Taj Mahal to view the tombs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah jehan...Smart chick she is...

On another good news.. The ICR swaps are now live again and back in action... received my swap from Gopi while I was away on holiday.. It is a bling swap and she sent me some amazing bling.. Here goes the pic...

Love the 3 petal-shaped bling she sent me.. Thanks a  ton Gopi...

One some more news.. There is a new swap station in town.. Swap Central India being conducted by the 3 stooges, namely Saumya Mohanty, Tejal Mehta-Shah and your very own Me... Hope to see you guys participate.. This swap station would be different as we would be focusing on swapping finished handmade products rather supplies.. Mind you.. not ruling out swaps of supplies too.. Just keep your eyes on the blog to keep yourself updated.. Would appreciate to see lots of participation...You can check all the blog here.

On another note.. My dear dear Senior Stooge *wink* tejal is having a 300 post candy... Check details here.. Don't go just for the candy.. Browse her blog and be ready to be stunned with some amazing creations.. Congratulations Tee...

I think I've covered all I had to say.. Will see you soon with some work to share.. Till then happy crafting and have a great weekend...

Hugs,
Khush
