Baby Announement/ Baby shower money envelopes

Hello guys
Today I am going to share one of my recent custom orders with you. I have made 100 of these envelopes for a dear client for her baby announcement function.....since the gender was not known, I made pink and blue envelopes. these were super fun to make but a little time consuming as well.

These envelopes are 7"by 3.5"in size and can fit a Rs 2000 not comfortably inside the pocket and the pocket is 1.5" in breadth.

So I have used Fabriano Elle Erre cardstock in Celeste and Rosa as the base of my envelopes. For the front panel and inside pocket of the envelope, I have used white cardstock
(250gsm from ItsyBitsy) which I have dry embossed with ItsyBitsy embossing folder and then highlighted it with Distress inks in Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass also from the store.

To decorate the front of the envelope, I have added a strip of Fabriano cardstock in Fucsia and Azzurro and and layers of diecuts ( Spellbinder and sizzix) and finished it with wooden baby embellishments. I finished it with some butterfly diecuts from Memory Box and MFT flourishes.
I have given ribbon closure for the envelope (satin ribbons in solid and polka dotted).
That's all from me today....Thank you for stopping by. Hope you have a great week ahead.

Happy Rakshabandan - Shabby Chic Money Envelope and Gift Box (Pink)

Hello everyone

How are you all today? I hope you all are having a fab week. So I have yet another Gift box with a matching Envelope for the upcoming festival Raksha Bandhan. This is the second one I have made and its similar to the first one with the only difference being the color of the project.  

Importance of Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu secular festival which is a celebration of sibling love and to be very specific Brother- Sister bond. Raksha Bandhan in Sanskrit literally means "the tie or knot of protection". The word Raksha means protection, while Bandhan is the verb to tie. On this day, The sister comes to Brother’s house and ties a sacred thread (Rakhi or an amulet)on this wrist in turn seeking protection from all evil for a lifetime. This is followed with a prayer or a song while putting red vermillion dot (Tilak) on his forehead and performing Aarti . An aarti is nothing but  a tray with lighted lamp which ritually rotated  clockwise around the brother's face, along with the prayer and well wishes.She then feeds him sweets which traditionally are ladoos, barfis and pedas (Indian Sweets)and in the recent times we feed them Chocolates and sometimes even diet sweets….lol. In return, along with the promise to protect her all her life, the brother also gives her gifts and money.

My husband has 2 sisters (1^st cousins) and they would be coming over for Raksha Bandhan to my house and for them I have made this money envelope and a gift box to add a small gift and some money.

The box is 5" by 5" by 3" in size while the envelope is 7" by 3.5" in size and is a 3 fold envelope. The is a belly band to hold the money and the center part is empty to add our message. The top part is left empty and we can keep it that way or add a nice poem or some stamping. Here are some close up shots of the envelope.

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.

1 White cardstock - Itsybitsy
2 shades of green cardstock - Itsybitsy

Happy 50th Birthday Album featuring Papericious Pretty Basics pattern paper (For a Lady)

Hello guys

I have been a little caught up with work lately and haven't been able to blog as much as I would have liked. I apologize for the same and hope to post more often. So here is a new project I did which is a 6"x 8"Mini Album with a box and 9 specific tags which are placed in the box. The album holds around 40 pics and 12 tags in 5 interactive pages. This album holds few 5"x 7"pics and 4"by 4"pics while most of the pics are 6" by 4"in size. This album was made to celebrate 50th Birthday of a very special lady and was gifted to her by her daughter. Since it has many pictures on the pages, I have chosen to hide them.

I am putting up this project for Monthly challenge at

1  Papericious - Birthday Wishes

2  Allsorts of blog challenge and their theme is Ladies and Girls.

3 The Ribbon Girl - Anything Goes

4 Polkadoodles Crafting challenge#10 -Anything goes.

5 Cute Card Thursday Challenge 468 - Ladies/Mothers

6 Paper Creator - March challenge - All about Mum

The spine is 4 3/4"and the covers are 6"by 8". The pages are 5"by 7"in size and have lots of pockets and flipouts. The box is 9"by 6" by 6"in size and has a partition to hold all the extra tags.I have used Papericious Pretty Basics pattern paper for this project along with few solid colored cardstock from Itsybitsy. To build the album I have used white 230gsm Iris Paper and for the box I have used White handmade paper from Itsybitsy. The inside of the box and the album cover is covered with Pink hand made paper again from Itsybitsy.

I have made all the flowers used inside this album using sizzix bigshot and flower dies. I have made around 120 to 150 flowers for the album from the same paper used to make the album and cover. The only exception to this is the flowers on the album cover which are bought from Itsybitsy. The youthful word is chipboard diecut which are covered with the patterm paper and fussy cut. The no 50 is Mdf diecut bought from a local store. All the perals used on ethe cover as well as flower centers are from Itsybitsy. The florishes are  cut using MFT die and my Bigshot machine. All in all I have cut around 120 to 150 florishes for this album.

All the photomats are given color on the edge using Memento dye inks. The spine has laces which are bought from a local fabric store. All the ribbons used are from Itsybitsy and the charms are from A1 craft. There are a few envelopes tucked inside this album to make space for letters. These envelopes are made from handmade tissue paper.
