Spring Mini Album

Hello friends..

These days I am in a full crafting mode...

Here is a new Mini album I completed today..

It is based on spring theme..

I only got to click the pic of the cover..

I will soon take out time to make a video of this album..

Till then enjoy the cover..  :)

I love the papers I used for this album..

the colours are so pretty... The photographs don't do justice to them..

The background paper looks like a greenish grey but it is actually a very pretty shade of pastel green ..

2nd Upcycled 3D Glitter Glue Storage

Hello...

I upcycled another empty roll of carton tape to make storage for my glitter glue bottles...

(Click here to see the previous one...)

This time I kept it very simple...

I added a circular mount board at the base then I lined the inside with black CS...

I stamped with angel pink from memento dew drops on yellow CS & then added some holographic glitter glue on some parts of the design.. 

I have distressed top edge with dried marigold distress ink & applied same glitter on top ...

For the bottom black border I used the MS Doily punch ...

I also added a black satin ribbon on top of black punched CS...

Next I added some rhinestones & done.... 

I didn't feel the need to use any embellishments as it is looking pretty even without them...

P.S. : Have you entered in the GIVEAWAY at my Craft Supply Store yet....???

Raksha Bandhan

Hello...

Another quick post to share my preparations for Rakhi this year....

I took some small white envelopes & decorated them with punched paper strips in co-ordinating colours with the rakhis ...

These are small 1.5 inch square envelopes for roli & akshat... 

I recycled an old wedding card to make thse cute envies....

The wedding card had Champagne colour on one side & metallic maroon on other side... 

I made the envelope with the lighter side...

I used tile punch on the dark side & cut out a square ... then pasted it on the envelope..

Rakhis to be sent out....

Rakhis for my kid brothers...

They have reached their destination & both of my brothers loved them...

Infact one of them was ready to tear off the angry bird off the rakhi & keep it in his collection... hehehe....   :)

Tile Punch Alignment Tutorial

Hello everyone... 

I have made quite some cards with this tile punch... & I absolutely love the effect it creates... 

You can view my previous card here, here, here, & here ..

After I posted few card with the tile punch I got a lot of queries regarding its aligning ... 

So I thought of making a small tutorial rather than replying each one individually...moreover it is a very simple trick but  it would be a bit difficult to explain without some visual aid... 

The images are self explanatory but still I will add some explanation with them...

Things you will need - Cardstock, tile punch, Pencil & ruler.

Start by punching the first tile.

Now slide the punch on one side & the align it with the top point of the small square.. or any other design part of the punched out shape... this step will decide how much gap is left between 2 punched out tiles... This step takes some trial & error... but its easy once you figure out what works for your punch design. & always push the  cardstock  till the very end of punch slot on both sides to keep the punching in straight line.

 Repeat the above step till you get the length you want.

 Now to punch on the adjoining side in a L  shape measure the distance between the start of the punch & edge of  cardstock  ... here it is 1cm.

 Now mark the same distance as shown in the image .. do this on the other side of the cardstock & trim off the excess cardstock.

Now repeat the second step & punch...

Cardstock after 2 more punches..

Keep repeating the above steps to get a border all round the page.

Here is the final card I made with the punched cardstock.

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial....If you still have some doubts feel free to ask me... :)

Another Tile Punch Card

Decorated Post-it-Notes Fridge Magnets

Goodmorning...

Yesterday I took some time out and finally photographed some of the projects I made sometime back... 

One of these projects are Decorated Post-it-Notes... I used 2x3" Post-it-Notes for this project. I used some Card-stock and made the cover ...and then decorated it with some pattern paper, ribbons, stones, pearls and punch craft flowers... I also added a piece of 4cm square magnet... The ribbon loops on top are for tucking a pen. 

I have put the 1st one on my fridge and its so handy to make shopping list for grocery or other household items, to-do list etc... plus it makes a beautiful fridge magnet...
