Twelve butterflies

Hellooooo....
This is an order from my sister.
Every year she surprises her husband with a different concept on his birthday.
This year she came with a concept of 12 for the year 2012. :P
So she asked me to make 12 message cards.
 All the cards and butterflies are hand cut. I didn’t have a butterfly punch.
So did a trace of the butterfly on different handmade papers and cut the same.

 Also her husband does bit of sketching. So she wanted to frame those sketches.
Luckily I got a wooden textured handmade paper.
 So I made four frames as per the sketching measurements.

Hope she likes them.

Happy Crafting!!!

Desk Decors

Hellooo
Few days back, I was trying to clean my craft cupboard and I found so much of quilling strips scrap.
Right at that moment, stopped my cleaning and started making one butterfly using small pieces of pink n white strips.
I saw few more pink n white strips so made another butterfly to make a pair.

I didn’t feel like stopping there, found few brown strips as well. So made two cups.

I was sure that I will lose them while cleaning (in progress) so stuck them onto the handmade paper.

Now I have them stuck at my desk in Office. So I named them Desk Decors J

By the way I did finish my cupboard cleaning post all that intermittent crafting :P

Happy Crafting!!

Old Memories

Hellooo,
Two days back,I was searching for some notebook.While searching I found two old things.
One is an old photo frame which I bought in London.Second one is the photo album of my in laws.

I thought why not I change the look of the photoframe.But I didn’t want to do too much of work on it.
So here is what I have done.



One of my simple quilling.Very cute memory for my in-laws so just put two birds and two hearts ;)

I was asked not to include the photos.So here this is final product with complete design.

Happy Teacher's Day

Helloooo...
I rarely make cards unless until something inspires me to do one. This time a cute little 4yrs old girl, my friend's daughter Kiran has inspired me to make one CAS card. 

The letters are hand written and cut manually.I intentionally didn't want to put neatly written letters just to give a kiddish look. I used Yellow for flowers, Blue for the pot filled with water and Green for the grass.


 I will be gifting this card to her to present it to her favorite teacher on Teacher's day.Hope she likes it.

BE HAPPY


Helloooo.........
I know it has been 15days since I posted my new creations and reason is I am having loads n loads of work at office. But the best part is I am learning lots of things at my work place. 
Of course it did increase my craving for crafts as well J .
From a long time I have been thinking to try some quillography.This thinking started after I checked out Yulia’s work. Very very inspiring and amazing work done by her.You should check out Yulia Brodskaya’s work.

It was there is my bucket list to try quillography for quite sometime but I was missing the real push to start one.

That’s when Pritesh came up with her quillography challenge which was at the right time for me. Thanks Pritesh!!! It actually helped me to come up with something I really wanted to do. So here comes my work(sorry about my photography skills L)
There is a reason behind choosing the text as ‘BE HAPPY’.It is to remind myself to always ‘be happy’ with all the blessings that God is showering on me and my family.

‘BE HAPPY’ is now placed my bedroom J



Entering into Pritesh’s challenge of Quillography. The size of the work is 29X41(excluding the frame)

Happy Quilling!!

Magic box!!


Another quick post...
If you remember my previous post Curls kusudama , this is the continuation story of that.
So ..I showed the kusudama to my husband with all excitement.This is what he says 'Are you going to send just this small ball???'
Phewwwww!! But you know what, his comment helped me to try something new for the first time.To add on,that night,I came to know that my colleague's travel got postponed by one more day and leaving on the following day evening.
Yipee.. so I had few more hours to make something more specia.I was happy to make something more because my manager is more than a friend though worked together for a short period.

That night within 4hours, I made this magic box.It is 12cm X 8.5cm size box


Luckily I had one small carton

So I made my first ever exploding box though simple. (Please bear with me as is it a heavy post)
This is the lid. I decorated it with a bunch of quilled roses
There are orange flowers on the outer side of walls.All the quilled flowers including roses were made out of 130gsm paper.I manually cut the paper into 5mm strips and made this.
 Inside,I decorated with the craft punch flowers along with hand written messages.

 In the center of the box,I placed the kusudama on top of a mini 'Happy Birthday' mug.You might not be able to see the mug clearly due to my poor photography skills :(..sorry
I used the same 3 colors of the kusudama to make the box as well.Though very short time, I was very much excited with the outcome.I placed the gift box on the table and slept that night and in the morning, my husband says 'Haaa... this looks better..'..Finally ..huh :)


Hope my manager opens the box without holding the walls ;)
