Handmade Baby Girl Mobile using washcloth.

Hey guys
Lately, I have been doing a lot of baby themed project. I made baby mobile for my sister-in-law using washcloths when I was gifting her baby products...... So I wanted to give her in a different style. First I thought to do a bouquet of washcloths arranged like roses....well  I did that too a while ago and didn't want to repeat it. Well, My pictures are too good this time as I was in a hurry...but I still would want you all to see them.

Then it came to me....Washcloth mobile.....and it did come out as I imagined. So I would like to share few pics and a small video showing you the mobile. Initially I did for a baby girl and then I thought why not do for a boy as well.....so I will be posting very soon a baby mobile for a boy.

Diwali Cards

Hello everyone
I am posting today some handmade Diwali cards which are very clean and simple with minimum embellishments. I have made this for Cards for a Cause-India where Neha Gala who owns A1 Craft shop in Andheri East, Mumbai is doing a drive for collecting cards for our soldiers on the borders. I really like her store and she had most of the things you need for crafting.

 What she is is doing is collecting cards from willing people and send it to Leh, Hall of Fame and I feel she is doing an amazing job. I feel we should all support this cause and add as many cards as we can to this.Its a wonderful gesture and I wanted to participate in this. So made a few encouragement cards and Diwali cards myself.

Since, using embellishments was required to be minimum and glitter or sequins was not advised, I used buttons in my cards with some paper twine in my cards. I started with standard A2 size card and used pattern paper which has gold motifs on them. Layered this pattern paper on some gold cardstock and mounted them on my card base. To add some decoration, I wound some paper twine and finished with a button and a bow.

On the inside, the cards is pretty simple. I added a strip of pattern paper on the side to bring in some color. For dark cardbases, I have added white cardstocks on the inside to enable the use of any inks available with our jawans.

The envelopes are simple ones made with the same color as the card base and and matching pattern paper. The happy diwali stamp is actually a combined stamp. Diwali is from Peek-a-boo stamp and Happy is from Fiskars petals from Scratch stamp set. The stamping is done using Black Archival ink so its permanent and waterproof.

That's all from me.....and I hope all of you can add some cards from your side. Those of you who do not have a stamp or inks.....don't hold back. Use waterproof pens to write messages and sentiments....use anything you have to make cards. We should appreciate our soldiers who are fighting for us on the border...and these little encouragement notes and cards will mean a lot to them.
Thank you all for reading my post and have a great day.
