Make Your Own Craft Tools #2 <--- Scoring Tool--->

So its not always possible to afford high quality and expensive (and cool!) craft tools... so lets make our own! You must be throwing away many empty pens (or maybe storin for that one day when u find its use!)... this can be your very own cheap (or free!) paper scoring tool. Just take a used n empty pen and a ruler nd score away!

Another tip!... there must be many plastic trays which come outta chips n cookie packs..

Well, this can be the best storage item for ur pens, pencils and markers!

I hope u like my post!

Heya All!.. long time no bloggin!... was quite busy nd missed ya loadz!
So I had two new stamps some time ago!...I rly rly wanted to show them to ya all but I thot they woudnt luk quite attractive (wich I think dey are!) without some crafty cards! So here I go!
This soo awesomely detailed stamp luks rly cool on cards!

I stamped da flower on the card and then on seperate peices of white paper, coloured them using colour pencils and cut dem out. I added dimensionals later!

And this is a curly-doodly background stamp which i rly love!

Here is the card I made!

I stamped it on the envelope as well and also included some gemstones..

I stamped on the card (same stamp!) using pearl metallic silver paint from fevicryl... It gave a cool luk when stamped incompletely. And as the greeting suggests... dere are loads n loads of fabric flowers I used!

P.S. I used pearl metallic copper paint to colour the *BIG* flower. It air-dried rly quick!... Uh-oh...nd I am postin a lotta stuff 2gether as a lott was collected nd few was posted!

Make Your Own Craft Tools #1 <--Paper Piercing Kit--->

So i guess many of you are tired of buying such expensive kits and some of you(like me!) lack its availability..
So i figured out my very own method of making a paper piercing kit. The holes you make would be exa ctly aligned as you want them to!

I have labelled the materials you will need in the above pic and you can use a needle or an all purpose pin for piercing. Most of the things can be made by "stuff" lying around the house!
There's one more thing.. we can also pierce circles by making holes in the diagonal adjacent squares.
---Happy paper piercing!---
