A Glittery Wedding



 A friend requested me to design a wedding card for his brother's wedding, so this is what I came up with. You guys must wondering that so glittery and all, but cant help it weddings here are glittery and full of color so had to design something accordingly.


The medallion in the center is hand drawn and then I took a picture, edited it and saved it on my PC so i can offer it to others as well as print it if I need it again. After printing it I used embossing powder and bronze colored glitter on it to make it look like this. 

The other designs on the left side and on the bottom of the card are also hand drawn and then embossed. The sentiment is computer printed. I have drawn the designs on the strip and then later on when I was done with the embossing, attached the strips to the card so if I mess anything up it wont spoil my card.



I want to offer the Medallion image as a freebie but I have it saved on Microsoft Word document and I have no idea of how to upload it here, so whoever knows it plz help me with it. And till I have uploaded it here you can mention that you need the file and leave your mail id, so that I can email it out to you.

Teddy Bear Favour


As valentines is approaching Everything is doing red and heart shaped :), love and romance is in the air. So for giving out valentine favors I made this cute lil simple teddy bear favor box. I found the instructions to make this online so the original credit of it goes to a girl who gave out instructions, but as I dont remember her name, so for now I will have to do with nameless credit, though I feel bad doing so.


The box is made up of an A4 size black card stock, the images come from my decorated paper and I have embossed them to add a little dimension. All sides have a different image. I wanted the box too look simple and decent because I have seen guys usually allergic to the bling :), but i couldn't resit my love for it so have added twin glittered hearts on the front side flap.

To close the box I have used ribbon but glued to a card stock strip because the ribbon itself is soft so it wont stay on its place.

If you guys want instructions to it just lemme know, I will try to guide u guys as much as I can in making this favor box, and i would love too see your creations too. I am planning on making some more too with different color combos and all.

And not to forget this box can hold small gifts too :). hope you guys like my post, see you soon.

Straight From The Heart





Wanted to make a card with something in every corner and loads of layering :), so here it is, its also according to a color challenge by Color Create Challenge blog, so I will enter it into the challenge.

Hmmmm...... I am thinking where to start from :). Well ok lets start from the layers, I have used Red, White and Pink. The layer bearing the swirl and flower is covered with a pink glittered net, it was giving it such a rich look that I couldn't resist. the swirl is hand drawn and cut and so are the flowers. And then they are glittered to add a little bling to the otherwise matte card. 

For sentiments I have used the ticket sentiments and gave them a colored outline. The image is colored by my normal markers and color pencils.

For my Special Angel


Finally i got to put up new pics of this card. Made this according to a sketch and some other requirements of an angel too. It says for my special angel :). lets start with the card, the image and the sentiment is computer printed and i colored it with my water color pencils. I have embossed the image a little before mounting it on the red card stock which i have cut with my fancy scissors to give it lace kind of border.

The pink card stock has flowers I found in a crafts store long time back and the swirls are made from stick ons and they also come from a craft store.

A Flowery Birthday



 I am back with Pastel colors after a long time :). my friends were asking me to do something with pastel shades, so here i am with my card according to Woodware's sketch.



This card really took a long time cus all the flowers n butterflies are hand drawn n cut, and so are the oval shapes plus the scallop. Only the circles on the Turquoise strip are the result of single hole punch. 

The sentiment is computer printed. If anyone plans on making something like this make sure you have loads of time and stamina :). Hope you guys like it :).

You are my Lucky Charm

Made this card for my friend, she wanted something simple and cute so i didn't do a lot on this one . The image is from one of my wrapping sheet, I embossed it a little and used a little embossing paste and glitter over the star to enhance it a little. The strips are of  yellow printer paper and glittered their top and bottom to make them stand out from the olive card stock.





I also made an envelope with to go with it. the image on the envelope is also embossed to go with the card. The image is not doing justice to the card as it makes it look slanted, but in real this is not the case. i have entered this card in to A beary project challenge at Crafty Creations.

A Beary Birthday (My First Easel Card)

My very first try at an easel card. I saw many beautiful easel cards online but could never bring myself up to the point of making one myself. Then one day while surfing the net I came across the exact measurements of the easel card by one of the blogger, and at the same time my sister asked me to make a birthday card for her friend, I got the perfect opportunity of making one because it was now or never for me.

 I would like to thank all those people who have mentioned the measurements of the Easel card on their blogs or websites, because it has made it easy for people like me to try something different and beautiful :). 


Lets start from the image. I found it online and thought it was perfect for the birthday wish. Colored it with markers and water color pencils. Add in some glitter to brighten it up because I used bright colors and multiple layers for the card due to my sister's demand :). The image is raised a little to make it stand out a little.

The tiny flowers are handmade, added a little drop of glitter to them. It was really hard cutting and raising up such tiny things, but it was worth it :). The butterfly, swirl and hearts are similarly handmade and then glittered.the birthday scallop on the upper right is handmade (that explains it being uneven) where as the sentiment is printed and I outlined it to give it an edge.

The scallop at the base of the card is printed and raised for the embossed effect. The candy on the scallop is an embossed sticker from a craft store. And the image has come out a little tilted I have no idea why?

I liked it a lot with all its flaws, but I am waiting for your experienced advice. Please feel free to comment, because that would help me improve.
