Tejal's birthday card... :-)

Heylo Peeps,

We had such a blast planning this surprise for her and it worked.. PERFECTLY... Well the whole idea was that we'd do a sneak peeks of our cards in the hop and the card would be given to her at 12 in the night.. ( I had couriered them off to her husband who promptly gave it to her at 12.. Thanks Hemang... )...

I being the lucky soul got to see ALL of the cards being sent to her before anyone else... yeyeyeye... *LOL*

I had such a tough time making a card for Tejal.. Did not know what to make and how to make.. She is such a [perfectionist and I am so FAR from perfection that the divide between is too great to measure.. BUT.. after a lot of soul searching, googling and a bunch of other things.. I came up with the simple idea to KISS it literally...

So I made a gate-fold card for her.. Easy peasy and really fast to make because I was short of time.. Exhibition pressure was ON that time... So here's a full Monty of my card.. :D

The theme of our blog hop was Butterflies and Bling.. The two things the lady absolutely loves... It was an easy theme to decide but a difficult one to work upon... So after several head scratching hours I made this.. Isn't the cake digi cute... YESSS.. it is a digi.. :-)....

The previous sneak peek once more... :D

I absolutely love this digi... Cute cute cute and some more cuteness....

This is a pretty big card.. 6*12 inches... :-)... Pink fabriano cardstock of 12*12 ( I cut a full size sheet to size).... Layered it with PP which was a RAK by A... The digi image is from bows n berries which I had won in Y's blog... small pearls and bling are from my stash.. the big pearls were sent by A1 supply with my purchase of a punch from their store.. awesome pearls... Colored using my Staedler water color pencils and the butterflies have been coated with glue 'n' gloss.. The sentiment is a digi freebie I picked up from somewhere....



Happy Birthday Tee... Hope you have a wonderful wonderful day... :-).....

Hugs,
Khush

Happy Birthday Card... :D

This card was supposed to be posted yesterday but I became lazy... :D.. This card is going out to someone truly special.. Will not take names now because she unfortunately reads my posts.. :D.. Surprise for her

I made a gatefold card again.. As all of you already know I have a lot of love for special fold cards and gatefold looks super...!! So without much ado, have a look at my card...

Isn't she a doll.. I loved this image.. She looks adorable with a heart in her hand.. :-)

The insides...

This is a fairly big card.. a 6 by 12 cardstock which i scored at 3 inches on each side to make the "gates".. I love the whole look of a gate fold card and there is just so much space on it to scribble all you want ... :-)

This is a fabriano elle erre sheet which I have cut to size.. The PPs are DCVW which I brought from Karuna's store. and on the insides, the PP's are from one of my nephew's old craft books.. :D.. I have used my Fiskars sunburst punch to give borders and the sentiment is from some free digital blog, I don't remember which one.. On the outside, I have traced the spellbinders label and hand cut them.. The digi is again from a free digital image blog, but I don't know which one... I have used gem stones from my stash, The die cut flowers are from Itsy Bitsy which I recently found in Star mark store and have a put a flat pearl on ti from my stash... :D and the buttons are from Pie Lane.. The sentiment is also placed on a  scalloped circle die cut which I have traced and hand cut and blinged it up using rhine stones from my stash...
