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! 

A Few Cards To Share

Hello fellow bloggers!!

How have you been? As for me, well, we relocated to a new city recently and that meant some crazy packing, wrapping up some last minute pending tasks required before moving, then house-hunting in the new city, moving in to a new place, unpacking.....pheww!! So you get the drift as to why I have been missing in action since almost past 2 months or so. ;) Although I'm still in the process of settling in completely, yet to get some unfinished tasks done, yet to unpack and arrange some of the stuff. But I'm taking it easy.

Just got my home internet connection here and guess what's the first thing I'm upto?? ;) ...So sharing some of the cards I made about two months back . Oh, how I miss crafting and blogging!! Hope to get back soon but until then, please check out these cards:--

This card was made for my guest designer post at  Create something catchy challenges for the month of March # Pinspired challenge. You can view the GDT post here. 

Here's the second card:

This card showcases the lovely floral stamps from the pretty peonies stamp set. I stamped the flowers  loosely using the outline stamps first, followed by filling them up using solid stamps. I have used memento dew drop inks here for the colours. 

And now for the third and the last card:-

This card was made to order by one of my friends who wanted a birthday card for her husband. She had informed me that her hubby is a gaming freak, tech-savvy and loved to read the computer-related books. So, keeping in mind these details, I came up with this card. I had seen a card which showcased the joystick die from My favorite Things and that's where this idea came from.  The shape of that joystick was hand drawn and hand cut from a black cardstock. Those buttons were made using enamel dots. The background was made using stamps from different stamp sets which suited the theme and helped me keep the card masculine.

Added the sentiment on the inside of the card.

So, how did you like them all? Which one is your favorite? :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me your valuable feedback.

Hope to be back very soon. :)

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 !!:)

Musical Congrats

Hello friends !!

Quickly sharing a card inspired by Cas-ual Fridays#137--Springtime melodies, where the challenge is to create a music-themed card in spring colours.

Recently, a friend of mine had requested to make a CAS  Congrats card for her friend who would be getting married soon. And since Indian weddings are incomplete without some music and dance, I thought why not make it a musical congrats. :)

Here's what I came up with:-
\

Pretty simple and quick  . Some masking, sponging, stamping and it was done. And it's one-layered too. :)

The music notes stamp is from Inkadinkado cling stamp set and the sentiment is from the alphabet stamp set from Inkadinkado again. Sponging is done using memento inks.

Hope you like it.
