My First Layout

Posting something which I really enjoyed creating. This is my first layout, all flowers are handmade. Inspiration for these flowers are many who tried these flowers and posted their creations. Mansi Gupta Sharma and Rajni Chawla are best in making these.

Started created flowers sometime back and finally finished it.

PomPoms

Some pompoms I created with kite paper, My first try. It was fun but it did not come out well. I Need more practice to get these in perfect shape.

This Diwali Celebrate with Colorful Diyas

This Diwali, I painted diyas and made these more colorful. Really enjoyed doing this. 

Found this really nice and creative stress buster. I used Arcylic colors and then applied varnish on a few of these. On some I used metallic pearl colors which actually gives natural shine and no need to apply varnish. 

Some of the colors are from Itsy Bitsy.

Card with Spirals !!!

This card is made recently, I was really inspired by Spirals. I feel these add dimensions to any simple look creation. So I searched how to make these, did not get perfect but still was happy. It came out well.

I used stitching on this card, a beautiful stamp, quilled flowers, spirals and last but not the least a nice pattern paper. Spellbinders dies as well. I love these dies, you really do not have to struggle a lot to get a decent cut.

Birthday Return Gifts

7 June was the birthday for my niece and I made the return gifts. It was drawing book, crayons and chocolates which was packed nicely and then added embellishments.

This one with the birthday cake was for my niece, the Birthday Girl.

And these are for other children..

Collage with all in one..

Quilled Flower Card !!

This card is totally different than what was planned for :) At the end it came out just OK. 

Another flat view:

This card is for following challenges:

Lulupu: My Favourite Four R1

Crafter's Corner: Celebrate with flowers

Photo Frame with Roses

My first photo frame with some roses. Black one is a rolled rose which was the first try and rest were just made for try. Actually I had no plans to make a frame but then I wanted to make some use of the roses. Roses can be a lot better, these were the first roses I did from some tutorial. Sides of the frame are done using magazine papers, rolled and glued. This is not complete it, I need to add a stand for this frame. Not happy with this but OK for the first time. Feedback please?

Pop Up Flower Card !!

This card I made yesterday for some challenges specially. As always what I think before starting anything is not the same when it is over. I used some die cuts here and then it has a popup flower as well. Below picture has the popup flower:

Best Wishes Card !!

New blog and posting a new card after long..used the sunflower die. I like this die a lot, easy and pretty quickly you get a nice flower not a whole lot of time is required..

used rose carnation die as well but did not make kind of rose, need to try and I love the MS wild flower punch.

Quilled Miniatures !!

First try for quilled miniatures. I saw some folks making pretty tea sets, pots and other stuff with paper stripes. I too tried, not good but was able to manage. Used mini mold for this but it can be a lot better.

There are 2 cups here, one flower pot and those 2 gray ones are just like that.

Best Wishes ..

Another best wishes card, suitable for any occasion..

Quilled roses, made using quilled creations die..

Woven Gift Bag - Incomplete !!

This is my first woven gift bag. Not complete yet, need to add some ribbon and a bow to it. Will post the update picture. For now this. This took a while to do because I do not have any trimmer etc as of now so I measured all the stripes using scale, marked these using pen and then cut everything then weaved. I used very thick card sheet here so that it can hold stuff.

Woven News Paper Bag

This was my second news paper tote bag. The first one was smaller. I did this to put my baking stuff. Plan was to make a lid as well and then make compartments into in it but that did not happen till now. Its already in use and yes it was pretty strong. I was thinking to take these bags for grocery shopping to promote recycled products. :)

Quick Washi Card !!

Past 2 months its really busy with work and my craft activity is really pretty less, not participating in any challenges and not making anything new much. :( But I was really carving to do something so I made this really quick card with Washi tapes. I saw this simonsaysstamp challenge which was with Washi so I thought it will be quick. The background is all with Washi Tapes though I am not liking it. I really think I could have co-ordinated the tapes much better, still I love Washi tapes so could not resist. The stamped and colored image I already had.

As I promised myself that I will improve my pictures so here is the first try with clean background. 

Details of coloring, I have used BIC markers:

Details of the bow, its not perfect, need to improve on the bows a lot:

Quick New Year Card

Posting a card which I made to give it to my niece's school mate. Their school asked to get new year's cards, simple one. She is not even 2 years old so I have kept some baby theme. Pic is not good. From now onwards but I have promised myself to take better pictures.

Card with Tag

This month I did pretty less crafting, busy with work and other stuff. Did only yesterday and today. This was made for my niece for her school, later I decided to do a matching tag and participate in the challenge. Though the card and the tag both are not that good and people have awesome creations, still I wanted to play along.

Shabby Scary Cat

Shabby cat card, this is not really how I wanted it to look. This is specially made for lulupu challenge. I did not want to make circle and some die cut shape card so tried this. Wanted it to look cute but this is more like not even CAT but that's how it is. Was in no mood to do anything more with it. This is cat shaped card, distressed the edges with scissor the with distress ink. Some ribbons, laces, flowers and buttons. 

I wanted to use paper piecing to make her dress but then changed the mind.

Another look with big smile:
