I used few blue crystals to form the petals. I wanted to use just two colours Pink and Blue.

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

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 ;)

Colorful Curls..

Hellooooo,

It has been a long time since I made a kusudama and two days back I got a wonderful opportunity to make one.

This is very special as I made this for my manager who is in US.My manager is getting retired on August 1st. Yes... she will turn 65 years in the month of September.Very sweet lady and it was wonderful working with her.

I had just one day to make something because my colleague who was travelling to US was leaving in just two days. But I really wanted to give her something special ....something in handmade...something made by me.So finally this what I have made for her - an Origami Cuboctahedron.

It is made of 3 different colour sheets of 130 gsm. I wanted to use bright colours to give that Indian flavor.
I used 12 square papers(8X8cm) to make this.Here is the tutorial to make origami cuboctahedron

Hope she likes it!!

Anniversary gift

Here is another request from my friend.He wanted to gift something special for his In-laws on their special wedding anniversary at the age of 60yrs.
My friend gave their photo and I had the complete freedom to design the frame.
Here is what I have designed

I always wanted to make these quilled flowers but never tried before.Finally this frame has given me that opputunity.My friend Kavya has written the message.
