Thinking of you (Catching Flakes)

 

Decorated a notepad for a very nice friend of mine. He has just gone from a very bad phase of chemo sessions for his cancer treatment, But has recovered by the grace of God :). 

This cute Image is from designed 2 Delight by Faith. I am totally in love with this one and goes perfectly   with the winter season :).

Its colored with markers and water color pencils and not to mention that, I had to color this image twice because, I spilled water over it by mistake :(.

Yeah i also added a sentiment and a tag fer it too. Under the pretty patterned paper is the pocket which holds the tag. Also added loads of faux stitching and some glitter. Hope you guys like it.

Red, White N Blue

Hi guys, today em back with another post for Gingerloft Design Team Assignment :). This fortnight we have a color challenge i.e. Red, White n Blue challenge. I am using a gingerloft digi provided by the generous Tami :). 

The image is colored with water color pencils and so is the lite blue background :). I have done faux stitching with a blue pointer.

The blue dotty paper is from hallmark and the blue lines paper is from my stash. Couldnt add much of bling to this card as it is a guy's card so i added little tiny things to make it look complete, like tiny silver sequins on  the tip of shoes and red stick on's to make them look like shoe buttons :).

Also added 3 buttons in the corner. I love layers so i did lots while making this card. all the stars and circles are hand drawn and cut and then i did faux stitching :).

The Sentiment is handwritten too. My printer is still not working :(

Another view to show the elements of the cards clearly.

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 close up of the inside holding the decorated notepad with a pen holder.

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.

You are sweet as a cupcake (Notepad)

Hi guys :)  its me again with a project this time. I love decorated notebooks and notepads for use. So this time i thought why not make some :). The very cute image is a freebie from Slikeje. I truly love her images :), they are really cute.

this image is colored with markers and water color pencils. I have embossed it a little to add some dimension. This is the top front view of the notepad.

Oh....! i forgot to mention its not just a notepad its all decorated with covering flap and a base to keep it safe :). This shows the inside of my project with the notepad. Made a bow and stuck it to the top of the notepad. Also made a pen holder, so we dont have to run anywhere when we need to jot down things.

A view showing both the decorated insides. The pattern paper and ribbon are from my stash. And to mention more i didnt use any fancy templates for making this. These measurements are all mine and this is totally handmade.

Showing the top with a bow and a sentiment which is computer generated :). Hope u guys like it as much as i do. And if u want to make one, i can always help with the measurements plus dont forget to layer it a little too, to make it sturdy so your edges dont turn when u keep it in your purse or bag.

Stacked Birthday Turtles

This is my first post as a Design  Team member on Gingerloft  :). I am so happy to be a part of these wonderful ladies :). Check wonderful entries by other design team members here

My first post was to make a Birthday card, and I have used a part of the stacked turtle digi from Gingerloft.  I have colored the image with color pencils, raised it a little to add some dimension. And i have made it based on the sketch provided by deconstructed.

The gift, Balloon and the rattle are stickers from my stash and so is the ribbon that runs under the digi image. I stuck diamante on the turtle to add a little bling to the image.   

The white dots on the pastel green flap are made with a white marker. Patterned paper is also from stash. Hope you guys like my card.

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 :).

Hanging By To Say Hi

I have finally reached my Fiftieth Post and i am very happy :). The card today is based on the tag image by Faith of Designed 2 Delight. I have colored it with markers and color pencils. Also have added 2 extra images, the spider web and the spider, though spiders give me creeps. 

The sentiment is computer generated, The black patterned paper is actually a note book cover, which belonged to my kid sis :) but she was generous enough to allow me to use it :).

The red card stock strip is cut with patterned scissors and I have added a ribbon from my stash on top of it. The card has been finished of with a double looped bow and a red button, both of which are from my stash. Both the image tag and sentiment have been raised a little for added dimension.

You Are My Favorite Pumpkin

Today i am sharing a simple and cute card with you, based on the image from Faith, thank you for giving us such a cute image to play with. I have colored the image with my water color pencils. 

The wavy design on two sides of the image is from patterned scissors, the sentiment is computer generated, the buttons and ribbons are from my stash. And when i was taking out my ribbons a horrible and huge spider came and started running here and there, almost had an heart attack :( Spiders really scare me.

A side view to give you an idea of the raised image.

Is It This Or Could It Be That

This card is made for a person who really asks a lot of questions and really gets confused if he is unable to get proper and clear answers for his questions :). He is no other that my kid sister's best friend :), so when i saw this image, i immediately got an idea and the finished piece is in front of you. My family members loved this card hope u guys like it too. I am planning to give this to him as a best of luck card for his upcoming exams.

The image is an internet download, probably a coloring page if i remember it correctly. Its colored with coloring pencils. The image is raised a little to add some dimension. 

I have pierced outside the image and the scallop too. The scallop is hand drawn and cut. Have distressed the edges of the scallop, tag and the card, hope its visible in the picture. The ribbons you are seeing in this picture belong to the tag :).

The sentiments are computer generated and stick to the scallop, as i had to make a moving element in my card for entering it in a challenge, i made a raised pocket in the card for the tag, it really looks pretty in real. But the sad part is i misjudged the challenge time and couldn't enter :( . 

The pretty Pattern papers, ribbons and buttons are from my stash.

May Your Days Be Filled With Love

This card is for a wonderful lady I met this year on my vacations. She is the sister of my, sister's best friend. She is an amazing person, all chill, lively, loving and caring. A sweet sister, adorable mother, trustworthy friend and an attentive wife.... not to forget she cooks yummy food :).

Ok now over to the card, the image is from Faith of Designed 2 Delight, Thank you for this wonderful image. I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it. The card is based on the color story from PDCC, God i love their color pallets.

The image is colored with color pencils and markers, raised with two way tape to add some dimension. I had cut out a circular window in the card and then i cut out a round shape from yellow card stock a little bigger than the window, placed the image on it and stuck it from the inner side.

The olive scallop is hand drawn and cut, which explains the untidiness. The pearls and the gem flowers are from my stash.

The sentiment tag is hand drawn and cut, the fancy cutouts in the corner are made from the patterned scissors. The ribbon is also from my stash.

Fall

This card is based on the image from D2D. A beautiful image provided by Faith for which i am really thankful :).  I combined certain challenge requirements in this card, like the color Pallet of Bugaboo and the sketch from Sweet Sketch. 

Its a pretty simple looking card. The pattern paper is from my new stash, the image is colored with color pencils. I have done paper Piercing around the image, i hope its showing in the picture because the holes are really fine :). The Fancy border around the image is cut from my patterned Scissors. Have added green color diamante from my stash. The butterfly is an Internet download, colored with color pencils. the center of the butter fly body is made with pot pourri that comes in small nets to hang in our wardrobes :).

Another Dimension of the card to give a better idea of the embossing and the butterfly :).

While i was taking pictures in the garden, i noticed Mushrooms growing there after 3 days of continuous rain :). So i thought of sharing it with you, they are pure white.

Purr-Fect Cat Woman

The tag that I'm sharing with you is for my best friend. She loves cats and has loads of cats in her house :) wanna guess 21 to b exact :P........ surprised....!!!!!! dont be ...... thats how she is, sweet, loving and caring. Oh...! i forgot to mention her name :) lolxx. You guys know her by the name of E.T of Vibgyor Krafts.

The image is by Faith of D2D and this image reminded me to make something for my best friend, who is a little cranky with me these days :). Dont worry its nothing serious, just a friendly catty attitude :P lolxx. So i made this tag to tell her that huney i love you loads and plz dont get angry. I am also playing your challenge with this tag :P. 

The image is colored with markers and color pencils. Its embossed a little to add dimension to it. The ribbon and button flower is handmade by me, it was quite a job to glue it together :). The sentiment is handwritten. I have pierced all around the tag and then i used the nib of my marker to add a little color inside the holes. I have also outlined the tag with a black marker. Added jute underneath the image and an adhesive diamante for the locket of the cat.

A Basket Of Gifts

I am sharing with you a gift basket that i decorated a few days back for my Brother's Fiancee for the the occasion of  Eid, like you guys have Christmas we have Eid after our Holy Month of Ramadan in which we fast for 20 or 30 days according to the lunar calender

so when people are engaged gifts are exchanged between families on Eid, of both girl and boy. So this was one of the gifts that I decorated :).

I have wrapped the red ribbon around the handle of the basket. Then i hung strands of silver ribbon and glued tiny round mirrors to it to give it a jazzy look. I even tied tiny red bows and stuck them to the handle and also to the Henna cone to add some more color. Actually Rid here is all about colors and bling :).

Here is the look before i covered the basket with a shocking Pink colored net.

A Close up showing the bows on the Henna cone. Also covered the base of the basket with red wrapping sheet. My brother's fiancee and her family loved everything, hope you guys like it too.
