{ fRieNd card }

Good Afternoon my blog readers! :D
Since I am here for a week more { Actually, I am also waiting for the Delhi results to be out, who knows.. I might just be here.. fingers crossed! }.. I decided to make full use of my time. So I have been crafting a LOT lately! *YAY*
If I move to Amritsar, I will have to stay without crafting for a month or until I settle down in the hostel.. So why not craft while I am here!
I made this card inspired by the current ICR Challenge.
We have to make a card using small and big creatures { AND we can only use one of each! }.. I LOVE the twists of these challenges!

Supplies:- CS-black, light blue, sky blue; Paper-White, Green; Stamp-MSE; Ink-Chalk White; Embellishments-twine, pearls; Others-Animal die-cut{RAK from Y}, Scallop Circle{Cuttlebug}, yellow paint, stabilo pens;

I had planed the card out a bit differently but that used two of the big creatures { Yeah!.. I HAVE to start reading instructions more carefully! }.. hehe

This card totally screamed out " Friendship " to me!.. I am also entering it for the current CraftyJC ChallengeM.
A part of the challenge was to mail out the card to a friend { I LOVE this part! }.. So I am mailing this card to one of my best friends { I have four best friends! :).. I am blessed! :D }.. She is a non-blogging crafters and has made appearances in THIS and THIS layout! :D

Now I am off to craft a bit more!..
Also, please visit my Chit Chat Blog! :D

Friends Forever!

Heylo! :D

I was so happy to see Crafty JC Challenge # 7 up on the blog!.. I had made this layout within a few days, just got late posting it here! :)

Supplies:- CS: White, Teal{CTMH}; Papers: American Crafts; Stamps: Prima; Ink: Chestnut Brown; Embellishments: Stickers{RAK from Y, Itsy Bisty, CTMH, Making Memories}, twine; Others: Stabilo ink pens;

Loads of doodling added quite a cute touch! *wink*

I would also like to share with you what I recently got in my mail.. :)
I had seen Komal selling her BEAUTIFUL jewellery online { FINALLY! :D }.. and I LOVED her charm bracelets so I straight-away ordered for one! :)

I also asked her to add "S" and "P" charms to it to personalize it for ME! ;) .. and she made them herself! :D

LOOK!.. so dangly!.. i LOVE IT!..
Later on I asked her to add a key charm to the bracelet too { inspired by Sarah Dessen's book "LOCK AND KEY".. everyone MUST read it! }.. but she had already arranged everything..

Soo.. she made me a cutie necklace along with it too..
And the jewellery was so well-packed and in a cutie handmade paper pouch! :D.. Thank you! :D
And I am soo happy because my future is finally seeming safe.. I am getting a few colleges and am waiting for a few results! :).. Also, My birthday is coming up THIS Tuesday.. 28th JUNE!.. I am super duper excited to finally be 18, an adult!.. YAY! :D

LOADS of bling.. { and a tutorial }

Today I have a tutorial using LOADS of this super super awesome Pie Lane Glitter and Silhouette SD!

NOTE - You can use your scrap stash for the card! *wink*

Using double sided paper tape/ adhesive, cover a piece of paper..

Cut out your desired shape using Silhouette or other die-cut machine.

Remove the backing and GET MESSY! ;)

Cover the entire shape using chunky glitter and tap off the excess.

Result : A SUPER FABBIE CARD (I am pretty self obsessed!)

Supplies : CS - White, Kraft, Crimson Red; Stamps: MSE; Inks: Chestnut Brown; Embellishments: Pearls, Jute, Pie Lane Glitter; Others: Silhouette SD

The jute was a sweet RAK from dear Y! :)

I am entering the card for the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge and Lexi's Creations Challenge #39

That is all for now!

damask

{ fRieNd }

I am here again with another card!..
As most of you know I am quite self-obsessed.. ;) .. and I love my crafting!.. hehe..
And this card totally does justice to my crafty ambitions.. LOL
I have no idea what I am blabbering about.. but I do love this card!

Supplies: Cardstock - White; Stamp: Damask (forgot the brand), MSE! ; Embellishments - red rhinestones; Others - black acrylic paint, 1 inch red ribbon;

I was highly inspired by Karuna's Heat Embossing Challenge and I had soo many ideas for that and I finally came up with this using my BEAUTIFUL damask stamp.. :)
Thanks so much K.. I LOVE this challenge! :D

I clear embossed on white CS and used the resist technique by dabbing black paint all over it.. I used acrylic paint.. but I think poster colours would do a better trick..

I am also entering the card for the current Clear It Out Challenge.

Friend..

It has been time since I made this card.. and I liked it soo much that it went straight to my postfolio..

I think its the first time that i made the card pre-cutting the patterned papers for the top and I got the EXACT measurement!..
P.S. i posted a few of it's close ups for the SAS vids intro post.. bt the vid didn't go quite well :)

album

Maze Books..

So i got inspired from the video above and made a batch of these...

The first set I made says "I LOVE YOU" and "FRIENDS"..

I decorated the pockets as well!

Pocket of book no.2..

The second set includes "TEACHER" and "BEST FRIEND"..

Pocket no.1..

Pocket no.2..
I used A$ sized paper to make them and they were just SOO much fun to decorate!... Instead of the three creases... I made only one on the sheet with longer side vertical... makes a perfect gift... and can be used as a journal, album... or simply a card... anything you want it to be!... I'll be selling them at ebay too...
