My First Vintage Project

I am back again with another project. Its a notepad again.......:). i actually am having fun making them so you guys are gonna see them a lot in the up coming days. And i need to post this soon because its my mom's birthday today so there is a lot to do :).

This project is for the DT assignment at Gingerloft challenges. This week the theme is vintage. The pretty image used is provided by the very generous Tami.

I have never done anything vintage before so its my very first take. I hope it looks vintage :). The image is colored with water color pencils. The flowers used at the top of the tag are from my brand new stash :). Got them in many colors :).

The backing papers, ribbons, pearls, flowers and all the gems are from my stash as well. The butterflies are an internet download. The lavender flower though is totally handmade.

Inside view of my project. decorated according to the same there. Added a butterfly and bow inside too, to make it look fancy.

The closer view of one of backside of the top cover. i have layered it to increase its strength, plus i also love layers :).

A final shot of the completed project to show clearly. No templates used to make this. All measurements are mine :). I hope u can see a pin attached to the bow. Its not clearly showing in the pic though.

The Love Diary

Made this diary for a Valentine;s give away :). I got this image as a freebie from cdac challenge. This specific image is provided by Happi Scrappin Doodles. The image is really very cute :).

The image is colored with markers. I added a ribbon bow to the kettle shaped bird house :) and it kind of looks cute :). 

I measure the card stock large enough to hold the diary and a pen. then scored it to meet the thickness of the tiny diary. 

After giving the shape to the flap of card stock i decorated both the inner side with a pattern paper from my stash. The next step was to personalize the diary and this was done by covering it with a pink card stock, adding s strip of pattern paper and a heart from another pattern paper :). looks cute.... dont you think so? :)

I attached tiny strips of purple and pink ribbon to the spiral of the diary :) and then later on glued the back of the diary with the card stock.

After getting the inside done, started decorating the outside. Raised the image a little to add dimension. Added a strip of card stock cut with patterned scissors and added tiny little flowers to it. Outlined the pink layer and put dots on the outer most layer with a silver marker. And Finally i was done with it and i really enjoyed doing it :).

The love season

Made this card for valentines :). The Image is from Sliekje. She draws amazing digi stamps, just totally love her creations. This image was a perfect one for a valentine card so i used it on mine :). The image is colored with markers and color pencils. Even the background is colored with color pencils. 

I have used Kraft, Red and Green colored card stocks for multi layering. The pattern paper is from my stash and so is the ribbon and the tiny pink flowers on the lower side :). The hearts are hand drawn, cut and then glittered to add a bling  :). hope you guys like the card.

Wedding Gift Box

Today i am here to share with you a wedding box made for a friend, i made this sometime back but couldnt get time to post it. She wanted the groom's and bride's dress on the box. so here i am, the images are internet downloads, colored with water color pencils and markers. Added flowers on the dress to make it look a bit more fancy because weddings here are all glittery and jazzy :). Oh and not to forget this box is totally handmade. I took all the measurements then drew them out and then cut and glued this box together. seriously it was loads of hard work :) but i love making boxes :).

Here is a complete look of the box. The flowers are all hand drawn, hand cut and then glittered. Even the swirls are hand drawn and cut. The base on which the images are stuck is covered with a glittery shocking pink net.

A close up of one decorated corner of the box to show u the flowers and swirl clearly. I have even made a tiny glittered heart on it, though its not very visible :).

The upper cornet of the box showing the butterfly which is colored with markers. Have used embossing paste and glitter on it. added pearls to give it a complete look.

View from another angle to show things more clearly. actually i was not very much satisfied with the pictures, cus this really looks more better in real.

This is the back of the box where i have added a tag. Also embellished it with light pink flowers. Also tied a bow over both red and pink colored ribbons and added a tiny little flower on the top of the bow to give it a complete look.

A close up of the tag. which shows best wishes for the couple getting married.

Teddy Bear Thank You

Back after really long. Need to leave love on the blogs, will visit you guys soon. The image you see is from my wrapping sheet, really loved this teddy bear. The Background is created with my color pencils. I know its not very professional looking, I need to play with a little more. But this was my first time :). The Pattern paper is from my stash. The flowers are from a  candy i won some time back. The Butterflies are internet downloads colored with my markers.

The scallop is hand drawn and cut. outlined with markers. The ribbon is from my stash. Had to work really hard with putting up all those tiny gems you are seeing. Raising everything without a foam tape was a also a job. The sentiment is computer generated. Hope you guys like it.

Every Flower Is To Bloom

Hi Crafters :), I am back with a card which is based on the color story by PDCC and the image is from Faith of Designed 2 Delight. Thank Faith, I love the image. 

The image is colored with water color pencils and then embellished with buttons from my stash :), though i was planing to do something simple but couldn't stop adding them :).

Added ribbons on the bottom of the card and glued the tiny pearls to it, they were looking very pretty :).

The Pink layer is a printer paper where as i have colored the navy blue layer myself to get the exact tone and i am happy with the results.

The Butterfly is from the candy that i won and the ribbons tied above are also from my stash :).

Home Sweet Home

Hi guys, couldnt get a very clear picture of it, because my hand was a little shaky :), will try to take some more shots and add them later in the day. 

Had to make wall hanging for a friend who is shifting into her new house soon, and she loves my crafts so I am planing to give it to her with a house welcoming gift. I based it on the color story from Play Date Cafe.

The image is a freebie from Beccy and you can find it here. She has given a colored version too which is really pretty. You will also find other freebies to so do give a look.

I colored it with my water color pencils and markers and embossed it to add a little dimension. The scallop is hand drawn and cut, the to make an even scallop is that you cute a circle and the trace half of its circumference to make the scallop :). I painted it Brown, added pearls on it.

All the tress and flowers you see are embossed stickers and the sentiment is an internet download. I have outlined the upper half with blue water color pencil and then added water to give it this look.

Just For You (Shaped Card)

Today i am posting a shaped card. The image is an internet download, colored with my water color pencils and i love the results, but you can tell better as you guys are better judges. I wanted to do this image with different colors but then i saw Play Date Cafe's color story and the result is in front of you. And not to forget i got its instructions from Annette and you can view them here 

It really took a long time to make this card, but i enjoyed the entire experience as it was different. The flowers are handmade and the ribbon and embellishments are from my stash. The sentiment is an Internet download as well, I embossed it and added a heart on top of it.

The leaves and the curled pieces are also hand drawn and cut. I ran my ribbon above the image and glued it on the top of my button :).

A close up to give a better idea of the image shades :). The image is also embossed to add a little dimension. I just loved embossed things :).

Bright And Colorful Summer Gift Box

I have already posted a card similar to this box. The image is from designed 2 delight. This post is a gift box to match the card. Actually lots of birthdays and occasions are coming up which demand making loads of gift boxes and cards so I thought making some with the same theme as of the card would be nice and some what easy too no thinking of an altogether new design for the box decoration :).

This is a lie down picture of one side and below is the picture of another side.

I think that I should not bore you guys with the descriptions again because they have already posted with the card so have fun :). Not very tidy, i know some white corners are showing :(.

Bright and colorful Summer

This week we were given two images to play with :). Loved these beautiful flowers by Faith. They are colored with my normal color pencils, water color pencils and markers :). 

Embossed them to add some dimension to the card, I dont know why..... but I like in fact love embossed cards. 

Did I tell you guys that this week I won the challenge at TSG blog :). I am really really happy :). My first winning of blog land........Yayyyyyy :)

The frills kind of layers that you see below the bow are no fancy punches, cus we dont have any here, which really makes me feel bad a hand tied at times. Its just cut with patterned scissors. And it was an inspiration from a Dt card on Designed to delight. 

One thing I dont really like on the card are the round mirrors that I have added on the the corner of the card. They are kind of giving a cheap look :(. I tried to take them off but they wont come off with out tearing the card stock, so sorry guys bear with it. I think I am not happy with this double bow too :(. It was looking really nice and pretty without both of these things.

Sending You A Little Prayer

I dont know why, I dont like the picture of this card as much as I like it in real. The stamp is from Faith as usual and I loved it as soon as I saw it. Thank Faith for these wonderful images. 

I made this card for a friend of mine who will go through a cancer surgery :(. I hope the operations goes Successful and he recovers soon. Please do pray for him.

I have printed out the image five times to give it this look, Surprised ......? Dont be I will explain. Once I printed and colored it, the second time I printed and used it as a base. I cut all my flowers and hearts from the first one and embossed them a little and added them on the base. Third time, I printed and colored and then cut all the flowers again and this time too embossed them and added them to the base of the flower vase and on the sentiment. Fourth time was to paper piece the flower vase and emboss it :). Last but not the least, for the fifth time had to color it and use it on the inside of the card with the sentiment :).

Have used three different images, the sentiment is a freebie from TLC, God, I love the stuff  they offer, and the button is an internet download, which I have colored and embossed a little to add dimension. Also tied a bow to it to make it look like a real one.


The backing papers are from my stash and the card is based on the sketch from cps. I mite add a few new pics of it tomorrow. I hope it looks like a guy card :).

Grown With Love (Shimmery Love :).)

Made this card with free image provided by Faith of Designed 2 Delight :). Thank a lot Faith for these wonderful images. My sister always needs something to give to her friends so this card wont be spared :). 


Ok so details about the card, i have told you about the image already, it has been colored with my water color pencils, embossed a little to add dimension, the bug stickers are from my stash.


I haven't really layered the card too much because em not really feeling well. The weather is very hot and humid and I feel so dehydrated no matter how much my fluid intake is. Today too, I got out of bed with difficulty as it was a busy day plus had to complete this card as well.

The backing paper  used is from my new supplies and I love its vibrant colors. The bow is made from what we here call a Glittery Dori. Have used purple and pink so it would go with the flowers and backing paper too.


The sentiment is computer generated, but its credit goes to someone in the cyber who used it like this on her card and I got inspired and used it for my card. I dont exactly know her name but if she comes across this post and mentions her name I will give her the due credit.
