Happy Easter Handmade card

Hello everyone
I am back with a handmade card today and after really long. I haven't made any cards in the last few months and so I am really excited to share this one with you all. Since Easter is on the horizon, I have made a shabby chic Easter card.

13 The Ribbon Girl April Challenge

14 Scrappy Land Challenge #63- Used die from Elizabeth Craft Design

15 Try it on tuesday # Botanical

I have used a lot of products to make this one and am simply in love with the result. The papers used for the card are from Eno Greetings and Papericious. I have done a little stenciling using a very pretty Roses stencil from Prima Marketing. The egg is fussy but by me since I didn't have a die for it. The stamp used for the sentiment is partly from a local store while the EASTER is handwritten using a finetip waterproof Black pen.

I added some delicate leaves using Elizabeth craft designs die and some mulberry flowers which are from different stores. The laces and trims are from local store and Itsybitsy. I did dry brush some Art Basics Heavy white gesso on some flowers and other places.

 I have distressed the edges and added some sparkle using clear sparkle powder from Crafters corner. I have also used Wink of stella at some places. The little gold bird is from Papericious chippies and is heat embossed using Tinsel Gold from Ranger.Finally, I finished the card by added few  sequins and splatters of gold and white acrylic paints.

Be Mine - Handmade card using ItsyBitsy dies.

Hello guys
I am back today with a new shaker card. Shaker cards have always been my favorite and are super fun to make. I have made this one keep Valentine's Day in mind and this one I have made for my husband. I truly hope he likes this one..

I am putting this card up at :-
1 Itsybitsy Challenge#2 2017 - Being creative with thin cut dies.
2 Addicted to stamps challenge #229 - Clean and simple
3 Allsorts challeneg #402  - Hearts and/or Flowers

11 The Ribbon Girl February Challenge - Anything goes

So to begin, I started with a 4 1/4" by 51/2" standard A2 size card for the base. I have used white cardstock from Itsybitsy. They had sent me this in a free haul some time back.I had used it earlier to make some tags and this time I used it to make a card. i must say that the quality is really good.

I cut the 3 hearts  on a 41/4" by 51/2" white cardstock piece using ItsyBitsy nesting hearts dies through my Sizzix Bigshot. The die set has 4 hearts and I have used the smaller 3 dies.
I added a little red hearts confetti sequins, clear white sequins and some gold sequins as my shaker elements.

I have used some foam adhesive and clear acetate sheet to create my shaker window. Once my shaker card was ready, I added some splatters using Memento Ladybug dye ink o the card front. to add more details, I made some dots with my red gel pen.

Embellished my card using some clear sequins and 3 red die cut hearts right in the center of the shaker panels. The sentiment "Be Mine" is stamped on vellum using Tinsel Gold embossing powder by Ranger.

For the inside, I just matted the card using Red cardstock and layered some red and whte die cut hearts.

That finished my card....all I need to do is write a message and make a cute envelope for this card. Can't wait to hand it over to my husband when he comes home....
Thank you guys for reading this post and until next time....Keep Crafting.

Baby Girl Stroller Gift box

Hi guys.

   I have made a Gift box which looks like a baby stroller. You can pack gifts for the new born on baby shower, baby announcement or any occasion you can think of. Now earlier I had made one for a baby boy....this time its for a baby girl. this gift box is almost 18"in height and the dimensions is 14" x  8" approximately in length and breadth.

I am putting up my project at Craft stamper Magazine  and Petal Lu Challenge #31.

  For tutorial, you can visit my earlier post which is very elaborate Click on this link to go to Baby Stroller Gift Box for the tutorial. However if you guys want a video tutorial for the same, do let me know and I will be happy to do one for you.

This gift box took me 2 days approximately to complete as it is a big one and has tone of details to be added to it. I hope you all like it and would try to make a similar one at home.

Supplies used:

1.  Mount-boards or Cardboard (3)
2.  Scissors
3.  Cutters with sharp blades
4. Fevicol or white strong glue
5. Fevibond or silicon glue
6. Kangaroo 1 hole punch
7. Crafting mat
8. Ruler
9.  Compass to draw circles
10.  Pencils
11. Small tip glue tube
12. Binder clips or clothes pin
13. Level meter
14. Chart paper or any handmade paper for wheels ( big sheets in 3 colors of your choice I each. 110 gsm)
15. Heavy Card-stock (220- 250 gsm )
16. Embellishments
17. Eyelets
18. Eyelets punch
19. Wooden or acrylic beads
20. Satin ribbon
21. Glitter foam sheet
22. Kite paper or tissue paper
23. Needle and thread
24. Glitter paper flowers
25. Pearls
26. Rhinestone flowers
27. Wooden beads
28. Lace/ Trims
29. Welcome stamp and Archival ink

To make the movable shutter, I have sewed the pieces of the strips to one another in such a fashion that they pieces do not get apart completely. All the pieces of the shutter are held together with a homemade brad.....its simple .....just use button with 2 holes and a thick wire. Pass the wire through the holes of the button and its ready to work like a brad. I covered the exposed end of the wires using a glitter flower with pearl on the center.

  The shutters are decorated with glitter flowers from Itsybitsy and Pink lace trim also from Itsybitsy. I punched a hole in the center of first shutter and added a pink eyelet to it. I then passed the same pink trip and added 3 wooden beads to it....this helps to add some weight on the shutter and keeps it stay put rather than sliding back.

  Finally, I decorate the edges and wheels with thin strips of pink glitter foam. Adds a little interest an color at the same time. The sentiment used is from Mudra stamps and I have heat embossed it using Ranger black embossing powder. Matted it and mounted it using some foam tape.

  This gift box has movable shutter and fixed wheels. You can add an handle to it if you want but I haven't added it purposefully to enable easy access to the gifts.
I am adding the youtube video link below to view the complete gift box. I hope you guys will like it.

Thank you for reading this post and I hope you all will like this.

Baby Girl Mini Album and Tag Box.

Hello everyone.
Firstly I would want to wish all of you a very happy new year and I hope you guys find love happiness and peace this year. It has been a while for me since I have done a blog post as there was a lot happening on my personal front. I had been doing projects...just didn't find time to write a post and share them with you all.

So lets begin the new year with a beautiful  project for a heaven sent bundle of joy....I have made a mini album for a baby girl....its my first and I am really excited to share with you. Now this one is a big album with 8" by 8" as covers and the spine is 4 3/4"....so its a big one for sure.
This album has a fair few tags and lots of journalling spots and can hold over 100 pictures on the mats and you can still tuck a few more in the nooks and crannies of this album. This album is divided into 12 sections and I have made specific monthly tags to fit those 12 special months of a baby's first year. You can also use these tags as baby onesie tags as once done you can continue to treat them as regular jounalling tags. I have added a little space on the back of these tags to write about baby;'s monthly routines.
I have used suppies from Itsybitsy, Papericious, Kaisercraft and the mdf diecuts are from Jasmine Siddhiqui from Kraftily konnect. The collection of ribbons and embellishments at Itsybitsy is just outstanding and I really like working with them. The paper pack used is called Its a Girl which is from Papericious and I must say that the collection is really perfect for making such albums.
All in all...I have loads of pictures I want to share with you all...so sit back and enjoy this interactive mini album.
I am putting this album up at Papericious monthly challenge for December.

This moodboard really inspired me to make a Baby Girl album with loads os shades of pinks and purples with hints of greys and white. I have incorporated roses as well as sequins in my project.

For a more detailed walk through of this album, you can visit my youtube channel to see the video. I am putting the link for the same below.

I hope you liked my project and if you do...please leave me some love. Thank you guys and have a nice day.
