Moving on to my project for today...
I have made a fridge magnet using the Pansy from latest Burst of spring release by Heartfelt Creations and I think this is also the first time I am posting the photograph of my daughter on my blog...I took this photograph when she was just 1 month old .... I still can't believe she will turn 2 year old in less than 2 months!!!
This is my favorite photograph of my little princess...I clicked 50-60 photographs in this photo session but I loveeee this one... something about her smile while sleeping melts my heart and calms me everytime I look at it.... I have it as my wallpaper on my PC and a BIIIIIG canvas in my living room and now I made this fridge magnet too....
Enough of my rambling... I won't bore you more with my love for this pic... hehehe

Always Remember

Hello friends...

Has it ever happened to you that you have to write a note & you can't find a pen or paper...

I had faced this in the past but after I started using my magnetic post-it-notes I always know where to find something to write my little notes or add to my grocery list... :)

When my last  post-it-note got over I decided to make a new one instead of refilling it... small perks of being a crafter... I get to make & use new  things :D

So here is the new design that I made... 

I have used a die cut pattern paper & chipboard for my base ... I used 2 strips cut from magnetic sheet on the back.. I wanted to make it a little inspirational so I die cut a card stock with a medium sized die from Fancy Labels 2 Die, inked it & stamped the sentiment from Everyday Greetings... This is a great stamp set with some great paragraph sentiments for various occasions...

I needed a place for my pen so that I don't have to go searching for a pen everytime I had to jot down something...

I decided to hang the pen with the help of a ribbon... I punched a small hole in the top corner, threaded the ribbon through it & used a pearl brad to secure it & also to hide the hole...

I have threaded a pearl through the other end of the ribbon & secured with a knot.. this helps to hang my pen nicely ... & it can fit any size as long as the have this clip thing  :D

 I love flowers so I decorated it with a die cut flourish corner, some flowers & string of pearls.

I can easily use another post-it-note to refill this when it gets over.. or create a new one if I get bored with this one  ;)

I hope you like my little project

More Post-it-notes

Hello..

Have you noticed my new blog design..

I promised in my last post that I will share the projects I am currently working on..

So here I am back with some new Post-it-Notes Fridge Magnets..

But before I move on to today's project I will answer some questions..

I often get a lot of questions about how do I make my projects..what is the process behind creating my designs...etc.. etc.. 

& the truth is.. There is no fixed process..

I go with the flow...

I gather things I would like to use... 

( If I have some new supplies then 99% chances are that I will use them :)  )

Then I try to arrange them... mix & match... maybe add something else to add interest.. like pearls, rhinestones, ribbons, flowers etc..& experiment till I am satisfied & then I glue them up..

Simple.. :)

The only thing to keep in mind is that you have to experiment & sometimes take some risks to come up with a great idea & design...

Now lets move on to Post-it-Notes...

After searching so many places I finally got my hands on Kraft CS..

& I LOVE it..  :)

And I want to use it in all my projects...

And that is the reason behind my last 2 cards being Kraft based.. hehehe..

I also got vintage Photo & have been using it like crazy.. :)

 So when I sat down to make these beauties.. these 2 things were the first things I took..

I also got some pretty PPs (from FMI, A5) & a variety of leaves recently..

So.. I started working & came up with these..

I didn't want to cover the beautiful designs so I just inked the edges with Vintage Photo & added some pearls, rhinestones, holographic glitter glue to most of them..

The 4 post-its in the 1st photo had white spaces on the top where I added some paper roses & leaves..

The springy thing was made with the leftover stems of the roses..

They look much more prettier in person..

All of the above are made from a single sheet of A5 PP.. !!!

I made all of these in a matter of few hours.. Fast na.. :)
There are more designs of Post-it-notes but will share them in my next post..

Do visit my facebook page for some closeup shots..

Kraft CS
Paper Rose

Gift Set for a Friend's Anniversary

Hello...

I recently met one of my school friends after a gap of 11 years...

It was so much fun.... We chatted for hours....

She told me her 2nd wedding anniversary is in few days...

& she likes handmade stuff so I made 1 small gift set for her...

I kept  red & black theme for the gift set.

The size of the gift box is approximately 4 x 4 x 1 inch. The top is decorated with tile punched black CS & quilled flower to match the design of the tile punch. The side is punched with MS Doily Lace Punch. I added some black pearls & black ribbon to decorate the sides...

The envelope is also handmade ... I embossed it with swirls embossing folder & made a belly band with tile punched black CS strip.

The card is made with the largest & 2nd largest die from Nestabilities label 4.

I decorated it with quilled Malaysian Flower & some black pearls...

Here is the open box with all the contents inside....

I made a Post-it-Notes Fridge Magnet in red & black for her..

The red panel is made with embossing & acrylic distressing technique...

I embellished it using  Quilled Malaysian flower some white pearls & a black ribbon...

When she saw my quilled pieces she loved the ladybugs so I thought of making ladybug bookmarks for her...

They are coated with glossy sealant to make them waterproof & sturdy...

Hope you all enjoyed my little gift set...

Supplies Used :
Tissue Tape
Jumbo Paper Clips
Hot Glue Gun

Magnetic Sheets
Post-it-Notes
