                      Challenge 1 : A new Beginning and use Bakers Twine.

 Here is a sneak peak of my inspiration for the challenge. Full view of the project in Challenge blog!

So when I first got to know we had to use Bakers Twine I was like dude, no way.. Wanna know why.. I am a bakers twine virgin.. I don't like things knotty for they scare me.. ( Now you understand my not so enthusiastic approach to using ribbons on projects).. I have gone CAS on my project.. You can see the butterfly and the twine.. Well, now build up your imagination... :D.. I shall give the full details later.. Just want to say this.. I had a ball making this card.. from the conceptualization to the execution... 

TIP: Glossy accents work really well for sticking bakers twine.. You got to be careful and not mess up your hands with glue else it would dirty your twine.

Well,

Can someone please tell me how to come up with good blog post titles.. I suck at them and hate to be receptive...(work can be repetitive but not blog titles.. :P)

So I am impatient and have to share this card I made yesterday.. Just for fun and no order and it was so cool...(BTW this is my second post for the day, you can check the first one here.)

This card is made following a tute shared by Priya of the craft shop.. She now knows my recent obsession with stamping and was kind enough to share a few tutes with me.. Thanks Priya.. I found this idea so cool.. Might not be new, might not be extraordinary but I totally loved it.. Why.. First time and took me a lot of time to give it the look I wanted.. So after wasting several sheets of paper with my various color experiments, I finally managed it with brown.. I popped up the sentiment up on dimensional to give it a raised look and to highlight the tiles in the background

This tutorial I followed can be found here. So without further ado, Here is my card.

Isn't this cool.. Love the tile effect and I tried different combinations too.. i tired with purple using my fav leafy vine set.. I tried with the flower BG stamp but it wasn't stamping properly for some reason.. So finally I took up this combination..

Stamps=> Hero Arts friend definition from Crafters Corner and Fiskars friendship quotes from Jo

All about love

Happy Sunny Monday everyone,

it is so hot ( I have developed this habit of cribbing about the heat)... I have a couple of cards to share which I made to gift for a wedding.. The one am sharing today is completely using non-traditional wedding colors..

It is a flip pocket card like the one I had made earlier as my dedication to three very special ladies in my life... You can check the earlier card here.

This card is super fun to make and super fast to assemble.. Once I had the general idea in my head as to what I had wanted to make, the execution went pretty fast...

So here goes.. ( WARNING: Picture heavy post)

This is a box in which the card was gifted

Princess

Hello,

How is everyone beating the heat. The Indian Summer is killer this time and the humidity levels in Kolkata is making life hell... The only thing I want to do is remain under the shower all day long ( that of course would make me wrinkly and not a favorable outcome at all)

I made a Princess MDF wall hanging on order... This was my first attempt at mdf and modge podge and well as they say until and unelss you try you never know whether you can do it or not.

While everyone is doing it with such ease, I of course had to face a lot of problems, the first being.. If you are an impatient soul like me then modge podge is not for you... :P.. You have to give it enough time to dry in between coats to get a good finish...

I will not talk much.. Just go on and show you the pictures...
