A Handfull of Art

And seriously both are a type of addiction to a craft lover like me, I know, almost everyone of you know very well what I mean! Here's my version of the book card, which can also be used as a gift box !! isn't that nice :) Did you check the little glitter on the flowers...and ohh yes, these flowers are handmade and m soo very proud of them :) Entering for the following challenges 1) http://lulupu.blogspot.in/2014/03/challenge-27-lulupu-2nd-birthday-special.html Alphabets used are L: Layers, Leaves, Lace P: Pattern Paper, Pearls, punches C : Cardstock(for making flowers) T: Tags PS: If these posts inspire you to bring out the creative best in you, that would be the bestest thing that will happened...

Hello Crafty folks, I have been making a couple cards recently, but didnt not had time to post them up on the blog.. So it's kind of a backlog for them.. but here's a quick post for 2 of my cards that I did recently.. Do tell me how they look !!! :) This is how it looks when it opens up Here's another one !! Now this one has a lovely splash of colors !!! I loved seeing soo many colors, all at the same time and it very well compliments Lulupu's current theme of a color splash.. the colors here would be Yellow, Orange, Green, Purple, Blue and white... Also the Blue rose flower is created using the heart shaped punch and from Pritesh's turorial abou creating a rose flower from a heart shaped punch...  I quite liked the way this one turned out to be!! I'm entering my second card here for the Lulupu's current challenge. 1)  http://lulupu.blogspot.in/2013/02/lulupu-challenge-9-splash-of-colors.html 2)  http://catch...

Hello People, I have been crazy about the special fold cards and I loved the idea of a Napkin fold card. It just drives one with as awesome feeling to having unfold it.... and it looks sooper cool too when it opens up to be a 12*12 from a 6*6 one :) Here's what I made with my Napkin Fold card :) I loved the way the holder for it came out to be. I saw this on Indira's blog about how to hold the card together !!! Another shot of the card.. This is how it opens up to be.. I have made 4 small pockets for 4 circular shaped inserts and have stamped messages on them.. I hope you liked my take on this one....

Hello People... Def Love is all around, I had happened to see a accordation style card sometime back but then it was made with a die. and I dont have dies, The idea of the card appealed soo much to me that I somehow and anyhow wanted to make it. This gorgeous die is designed by Karen Burniston who is an acclaimed designer for Sizzex and this die can be purchased from here http://www.sizzix.com/product/658035/sizzix-bigz-die-album-accordion-flip-3-d I thank Karen for making such a fab die which looks awesome !!! Here's what I made :) This is how the card looks like when opened.. and well.. who would want to keep it closed and locked.. :) This is my bestest till date.. and I love it! Close up of one of the flaps... Close up of the other end.... Another complete angle of the whole card... This is the front of the card.. Sorry for the blurred pic .. but this was the best one out of the whole lot of the front pictures.. I hope you all liked my crea...

Hello People, I saw a cascading card on the website and did a lot of googling to find out the procedure to make it and found it on Dr. Sonia's site.. :) Here's what I made with my cascading card.. I decided to go floral with this card and have used a lot of flower embellishments in this one :) The netted structure in the pink is hand-woven and yes... it took a lot of time to weave this one :D I added a cute rosette at the back of the card .. There's a ' be mine' tag that I made along with this card. Basically anytthing can be written onto the card :) I hope you all liked it and a big thanks to Sonia for the tutorial :) Linking it to the following challenges. 1)  http://kalalayaa.blogspot.in/2013/01/challenge11-fancy-folds-with-love-theme.html PS: If these posts inspire you to bring out the creative best in you, that would be the bestest thing that will happened to you, and I'll be flattered.

Hi Friendzzzz... Ever since I had seen a tri folded card, I was tempted to try one for myself, I did it this time and somehow I finalised on the blue theme, with some hues of reds.. and it came out to be good.... considering it to my first attempt at this type of the card... Here's the final outcome :) This is how the card looks like when viewed from the front :) A full view of the card :) A complete look ..., I have used some ribbons to add some extra effects along with glitters and sparkles for the red roses :) This is how the card looks when folded :) I liked the fan shaped ruffle flowers :) they look sooper cute :) I hope you all liked the card...
