Another pending post to share

Hi There!

So I'm back with another of my pending posts today which should have gone live last month!! But as I stated my reasons for being MIA in my last post yesterday (here) and also shared some cards, my apologies for not updating my blog and not visiting your blogs since quite a while now. And I intend to change that hopefully :)

Today I'll be sharing my DT post for Indian Quilling Challenge for the month of April, which was about 'Quilled roses'. If you have been following IQCG blog and FB updates, you may have seen my card but in case you missed it, here's my card :--

If you would like to see the details about this card, you may visit my blogpost  on the Indian quilling challenge blog >> here

So, that's it for now. Feels good to clear up your backlog and pending work, isn't it? Better late than never, I would say. :)

Hope you liked it. 

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Have a nice day! 

Indian Quilling Challenge # 15--Box it up---DT post

Hello friends !!

This month's theme at the Indian Quilling Challenge is to make any quilling project associated with a box. Like, you can choose to decorate a box with quilling, or make a quilled box itself, anything that tickles your imagination, but it should have some kind of box in it.

So, here's what I made as my DT inspiration project:--

Box on opening

I made an explosion box, but it's a little different kind of explosion box. Had never seen this kind of box anywhere, just an idea struck and I thought of giving it a try.

What's different in it, you may ask. Well, firstly, two of the four sides of this 2.5 by 2.5 inch box are transparent, that is, I have made an acetate window so that we can peep inside the box. :) And secondly, when it's opened, there's a cute little springy scene there, with all those little blooms ,the ladybug , the bumblebee, butterfly, etc. And except the butterfly, everything is quilled :)

Everytime I craft, my 3 year old daughter asks me, "Mamma, is this for me? "  So, I decided to make something specially for her, something she would like to look at everyday. To make it more fun and interactive, I have attached all the quilled elements to a spring, so that when she touches them , they  wriggle. :) ..She loved it and just couldn't resist opening the lid again and again to see the box open up to a lovely scene. :) Well, my biggest admirer likes it. What more do I need? :)

Closed box

Hope you like it too. And I hope I have inspired you to create something on the similar lines. Try it, your little kids would love it.
And do share your quilled box projects in this Facebook album.

Have a beautiful day !!:)

Indian Quilling Challenge-12--Anything goes with 'Thank You'

Hello dear friends,

Wishing you all a very happy and a prosperous new year.

This is my first post of 2015 and I'm very excited to share that I'm on the Design Team of Indian Quilling Challenge for 2015. This is a monthly challenge for those who love quilling. It's one of my favorite crafts to indulge in and I'm glad to be associated with it in some way. :)

The theme for January is to create any paper crafting project, with the main sentiment being 'Thank you' and the focus should  primarily be on quilling, ofcourse.

Here's a sneak peek of what I've created for the inspiration:

Have a great day! :)
