Bookmark Galore Again

THIS IS AN OLD POST THAT HAS BEEN LYING IN MY DRAFT FOR LONG!!!
 
Its been a while since I updated you on all with the recent client order of magnetic bookmarks.....have a look...

The first one is for a small girl and the other two for boys...the middle one with the name!!

Another angle...... the fairy is a digi from Pink Gem Designs

This was my first attempt with boys bookmarks and am happy the way it has turned out...

The first one is again for a little girl with her name and the other two for two adults....

The princess image and sentiment is a Recollection stamp set stamped on Fabriano CS and colored using Tombow Markers...

A closer look...

The books and apple are a TPC cling stamp set...stamped on Brustro and colored using BIC markers...

The sentiment card is from Echo Paper -Hello Summer Collection...

Hope you all like it....:)

Hi Folks....I am sorry for this delayed post.....rushing from a hurried trip and Diwali Season in India is a real bad timing...doe snot leave you with any time at all...but still "Happy Diwali" to you of you.....and heres what we have at TA this week....its Anything Goes...so that ensures that you have less options/reasons to avoid the challenge and not join us.....

This weeks sponsors are -1. Robyn's Fetish - 5 Digital Images
                                         2. Scrapper's Delights - 6 Digital Images

 And  here goes my DT project....which is also a part of my 2 Shabby Sisters Studio November Card Swap

 I kept the design very basic ....using my Stampin Up Owl Punch....

Stamped a swirl ...its a Tim Holtz Cling Stamp ...a RAK from Laura Foster

We had to make 10 3x3 note cards....and I decided to do 3inches diameter with a scallop circle spellbinder die....

And also added some bling....

If you have noticed my sidebar you will see I made it to the Top 3 at BGC #18....and as a result was offered a chance to be their GDT....so here I am with the GDT post and my creation for the challenge...

This week at Beyond Grey Challenge, its Sew Happy Stitching Challenge....all you are to do is have some real stitching (Hand or Machine) on your card /LO....super easy!!!

And here is what I made......

Keeping in mind the season I thought of a more contemporary  design .....and am not a stitching person at all except for a few projects I did at school and some totes and treat bags !!!

The flowers are cut outs from a pattern paper and stuck and some popped up on dimensionals....a self adhesive fabric tape to make more colorful......and a sweet sentiment to match the design!!!

The trees are hand stitched (back stitch done with brown embroidery threads) and the red bling is added to signify leaves.....

 I personally love the array of colors that the card brings out and my first attempt with stitching on paper!!!

Another angle....

I am here with a new creation of mine....an inspiration from youtube .....it was a client order for gifting purpose during the Diwali (Festival of lights) time....have a look.....

I have made them pretty ornate as per the brief....but believe me this is not my style....I was not confident with this at all....

A closer look ......

The top view....

For all those who are wondering what the project is all about....its a round box....which opens...you could insert a small gift or use it to give cash.....

 

Isnt it a beautiful way to gift cash during festivals or any other occasion ??? 

For all those who thought that was the end of surprises....TADA.....it is a card box.....there is a card at the base to write your gratitude/ wishes....your message etc....the round box is hand made and not a die cut!!! Just to be specific.....

Another angle.....

Closer look at the card....Hope you like this project.....

Hey Cupcake.....(that's what her very first card to me said....) and am returning the title as she truly is the "Cupcake Girl" .....not many know but she is equally fascinated with Cupcakes and Donuts (Khush does not share this love with us :(  *sob *sob) as she is with butterflies and blings....We are the reflection of each other in more than many ways!!!! We are best when we are bitching...heheheh I guess that brings out the best in us..okie I guess I  let out the secret and she may kill me for this.....

I wonder how a DCWV paper stack decided to bind us together in a friendship that shall now be prized and possessed through out our lives!!! (I have yet not used that stack till now Tee...remember how desperate I was to have it.....and thanks to you it's lying with a hoarder!!) Life gives an opportunity once and am happy we both grabbed it with both hands .....unbelievable that we have not yet completed a year!!! 

The chats...the swap discussion...the meano discussions....the product reviews ....the techniques and tip discussions have become a part of our daily life and its amazing how when we are busy with loads of work and are unable to chat ...the day ends with BBM pings saying "whats up....what did you do...missed chatting yaar..did I miss any gossip through the day" ...its almost as if the day stood still unless that exchange of pings took place between us!!!!


Okie now a confession, your birthday card chewed up my brains (its not easy to design and make cards for a perfectionist...and more over for such a close buddy....you end up feeling if the card/gift is good enough or not...)...I mean yess "its your day" and am suppose to be good to you and pamper you but ......anyways....after a lot of rejections at idea level and a few tear here and there to fill my dustbin.....I finally decided that your birthday card had to be an extension of what you are......so here it is for you and only for you.....Happy Birthday...and may you get what you dream...and celebrate many such birthdays in the coming years!!!

 Celebrate your day Queen Size Tee!!!! Muah....and Hugs ......

Your next destination is Apeksha .....Remember to comment as you hop along for winning and the deadline is 31st October 2012, 23: 59 hours IST. Do leave your love for the Birthday Gurl!!!

Pie Lane Challenge

After all the hectic days when my brother and his family were visiting us from Hong Kong ....the weather decided to play hurdle to my crafting :( .....and finally when I could I had loads of pending work.....couple of challenges and a few orders ...and finally here I am with the post with my Pie Lane Challenge.....their Challenge # 2 is to use flowers, buttons and swirls....

I tried this challenge with a simple bookmark using Pie Lane Stencils .....though using their products was not compulsory .....I wanted to trace their swirls for this project coz I simple love it...

Really like the swirls :))

Close up of the swirls....sorry the pic is slightly blurr :((

Will see if I can do one more project for this challenge....Hope time permits :)))
