Reading Time......Magnetic Bookmarks....

Making Bookmarks were never so much fun but after we conducted our Bookmark Swap at Swap Central India I have been on a roll...and I have made plenty of samples ...and most of them will make a place as a gift to my friends at Star Plus, Mumbai. They are avid readers and have been my support system during my lonely days in Mumbai where I lived away from family....had they not been there I would not have been able to cope up to the work pressures and the loneliness sometimes that city offers!!!

Enough of emotional blabbering and now for the reveal...hehheh...

These are magnetic bookmarks ...I had bought my first few magnetic bookmarks at Japan and Hong Kong where my brother resides....in the year 2003...and since then I have continued to buy them whenever I pay him a visit....and have been wanting to replicate the idea....my friends at Star Plus so wanted me to try this out but I could not do it then as the magnetic sheets where never available in Mumbai and I was not aware of a whole Crafty blogland who could supply me with the same....but now its there in abundance and am happy I can make them for my friends who have waited for it way too long!!!

The best part being this bookmark is that it will never drop off from your book!!!....Am entering one of these in Incy Wincy Designs-Make a bookmark Challenge.... and Scrapalicioususa- Welcoming Fall Challenge....the one I intend to send is below....

This was my second trial at the "Vintage" style (first one I sent it for the swap...photographs and post soon coming up).....but as you can see the bright and colorful person within me just could not see so much of brown so I added that ting of color with the pastel lilac felt heart!!!

 The tickets have been stamped and cut and layered on dimensional.....the base background has been done by stamping on the PP and the edges are distressed....a vintangy washi tape has been stuck below!!

A Closer view....

Hope you like this .....and below are the close ups/individual shots of the other two bookmarks....

This is  my third attempt at vintage.....I first sprayed a whole lot of Copper Shimmer on the PP...and then stamped the birdcage....the effect was fabulous...as the stamped birdcage picked up the shimmer so well and uniformly that it seems as if the ink was a shimmer based one.......

I have added a fabric tape towards the end with self adhesive backing that I bought from my friend Rachana Patel..

The house image is stamped and colored with Tombow Markers....the clouds and the sun are punched out images...I have also punched the end border.....I was lucky to have that PP from DCWV ...All about me ...it just created the right ambiance with that sky and grass effect!!!

Two of the clouds are popped up on dimensional ....along with the house image....


Hope you liked my creation!!! Do leave your feedback and comments ....

CD Mini Swap at Swap Central India

Swap Central India has been the best thing that could happen to me till date....we dont just swap products (craft supplies)...we swap handmade products and this was the first swap that took place at Swap Central....I know have delayed this post way too long as this swap took place in April ...and you all know I was busy with my exhibition once the swap got over ....

Anyways this is a swap blog that we three crazy crafters started together( Khush Tee and me) and now we have entered our fourth month of conducting this swap...wow isnt it :)

Okie now let me share the pics of my CD mini ..this was my 3rd CD mini...(I know the rest are not on my blog....will do that soon too)

The minimum page require was 5 CDs ....

 My previous CD Minis that I shall soon reveal to you...had only single layering...this was my first attempt to try layering on CD minis and also have Pockets and tags ....thats the best part of Swap Central....we want to leave our comfort zones and try new things....

My extra added die cut page...

Those pink die cuts are a Sizzix Peek a Boo frame die cut from Stampin Up...

Hope you liked it....C ya till my next post!!

Pop Me Up

I made a few Pop up cards for my Bangalore exhibition and to my luck I do have photographs of the same....so please have a look...

This card is stamped with Brilliance inks ....

This one is stamped and colored using Staedtler Fine Tip Pens...
 

This is stamped with CTMH inks and I have used Glossy Accents on the hearts...

Do leave your comments and feedback ....it helps me improve!!!

Close to My Heart

Have been upset that I couldn't click proper photographs for all my hand crafted stuff that I made for my exhibition and above all my BB needed a formatting due to which I lost out some photos that I had clicked on my phone...though they would not have given much clarity but still...but as I say this am also happy that I could retrieve one such photo from my memory card :) yayayayya..and thats what am sharing with you here...

I have been using CTMH products for quiet a few years now but always mixed them with my other supplies ...these are my first exclusive CTMH creations and I love them....


Hope you liked them too ....Do leave your feedback and comments they help me create better!!!

Girlfriends

Hey all...I know I have been missing from the blogland for way too long now...have been really busy with my exhibitions and happy to announce that it rocked...Bangalore received my products with a real cosy and warm heart ....you can view the photographs of the exhibition here.


Today am here to share a chipboard mini album which is custom made for a client with the friendship theme

The circle that you see can be used for a photograph...didnt want any title on the cover page just a photograph of the two friends...

Space for a short message..

This album actually had my brains racking for I wanted hidden tags but with a twist so I stamped small images and popped it up with dimensionals over the photomat so that it could act as a pull out for the hidden tag and also acted as an embellishment !!!

I love that shoe stamp a lot!!

I love the way the tags are color coordinated with the PP

 Am not great with layering but I tried (a better view can be seen below) and I love that doodled flower stamp...one of them is a pull out for tags ...you see :)

Those cute roses were a RAK from my friend Laura Foster ..have bought a lot of goddies from her through her etsy shop but she seems to have vanished from there and am missing her :(

 I didnt quiet like the title Fishy Tales which the client suggested but my friend Tee said why not change it to Fish Tales ..Client bhi khush and me too khush...basically these tags are for all the gossips every girl has with her bestie or gang of girlfriends....some secret incidents that only they shared!!!

 I love the Tombow markers....thanks Tee for getting them for me :)..they really added the glamour to the fishes!!!

 My attempt at layering...

 Finally all the tags :)


Hope you like the project ...do leave your comments... they help me improve and create better!!!
