On my list

Hello!

Earlier I posted a card I made for "I love Math challenge" 

Here is another card for the same challenge # 7.

The theme of the challenge is Number 7 - Use No. 7 or 7 something!

My card here showcases the 7 wonders of the world. 

(There has been a lot of variations in the listing of the 7 wonders. I took 7 of the one I knew about to make my card.)

My list of 7 wonders include - 

• Big Ben - Westminster, London  
• Christ the Redeemer - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 
• Taj Mahal - Agra, India  
• The leaning tower of Pisa - Pisa, Italy.
• Eiffel Tower - Paris, France.
• Statue of Liberty - New York, USA.
• The Colosseum - Rome, Italy.

Recipe of my card -

I printed the downloadable sketches of the 7 wonders and fussy cut them all. 

On a white card measuring 8.25" x 3.25", I arranged and printed the sentiment. 

I arranged all the images on the card. 

I adhered some images directly on the card, and few in between ones using foam adhesive. 

I adhered the images half-way over the card and trimmed the extra edges hanging over the card. 

Lastly, mounted the card on a black Card base.

Do Re Mi

Hello friends!

I have a very unique card on my blog today. 

I made this card for participating in the "I love Math challenge" at Craftymilka. 
Milka hosts this challenge quarterly with themes based on Mathematics and I just love participating in this challenge. 

The theme for this quarter is "Number 7" - We can use the number 7 or 7 something on your card!

Here's my card for the same. (I have 7 keys/syllables of the Xylophone.)

A Little background info about the concept of my card -
"Do-Re-Mi..." are the syllables used for a major scale in Solmization.
Solmization is a system wherein unique syllables are linked to each note of a musical scale, especially to teach singing.It was developed in the Medieval and is still in use in different forms throughout the world. 

 
"Do-Re-Mi" is also a show tune from the musical The Sound of Music. Within the story, it is used by Maria to teach the notes of the major musical scale to the children 
Each syllable of the musical solfège (music teaching) system appears in the song's lyrics, sung on the pitch it names.The lyrics teach the solfège syllables by linking them with English homophones. As the song concludes, "When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything'".

Synopsis of my card -
This is a very unusual card size I have ever worked with. The finished card measures around 6.5" x 3.5" in size.

• For my card, I took colourful paper strips to make the keys of Xylophone. 
• I cut the keys (freehand) in ascending order and rounded the edges. 
• Cut two thin black strips and adhered the keys on them at equal distance. 
• Next, I adhered this Xylophone on a white card panel. 
• Stamped the sentiment. Mounted this panel on a white card base. 
• I printed the syllables (I couldn't stamp them as the size was tiny and I didn't have the alphabet stamps of that size) Fussy cut them and adhered them on each key in a slant manner. 
• Lastly, I cut 2 thin strips and two tiny circles to form the sticks for playing the Xylophone and adhered them on the card.

Diwali Cards

Hello friends!

I am here today, after a long time, to showcase the Diwali cards made by me. 

It's Diwali time here in India and we are all celebrating the festival with our families. I quickly took some time out to share my cards with you all.

Here are the cards I made for sending out to my friends and few made on order.

  

Single layered cards

 The cards are made using Distress inks through stencils and stamping Diwali sentiments on them. Few have additional pop-up elements such as Diyas and rockets.

They are embellished with sequins, twines and tiny Ghungroos.

The envelopes too were stamped with a matching sentiment.

I have additionally used the Fun foils (Foiling without the machine) by Craftyscrappers for the "happy" die-cut on the orange cards and on other cards, it is covered with glossy accents.

Thank you for dropping by!

Wishing you all a very Happy and a Prosperous Diwali!!

Hi!

A new challenge commenced today at the Craft Rocket challenge blog.

On a white panel, I stamped the rainbow and lightly coloured it with pencil colours. Stamped few stars with yellow dye ink. Stamped the sentiment in position. Adhered this panel on a grey card base.I stamped the Unicorn on a white card, coloured and fussy cut it. Foam mounted the unicorn on the card.

DIY treat bags

Hello friends!

I am back again at the blog with a DIY tutorial. 

We often give out gifts to kids for birthdays or even as birthday return gifts. How about making environment-friendly treat bags to give these gifts. 

Today, I am going to show you how to make pretty treat bags using two stamp sets - Hogs & Kisses and Peek-a-boo from Craftyscrappers.

Here's a look at the treat bags!

Materials needed to make these treat bags 

A4 sized coloured papers

Stamp sets (Peek-a-boo and Hogs & Kisses)

Archival ink

Zig clean markers (or your choice of colours)

Scrap papers

Satin ribbon/twine

Foam adhesive

A step-by-step pictorial guiding you in making your own treat bags.

I took an A4 size paper. 

(The paper size would depend on the size of your gift.)

Folded half-inch margin at one edge. Folded the remaining paper into half. 

Folded /Scored half an inch at the one end of this folded paper and one and a half inch at the other end. 

 Opened the sheet and cut the marked parts. 

On cutting/trimming the marked parts, you get a sheet with scored sides.

 I took Archival ink and my favourite stamp set. I took two images from the stamp set and stamped the images randomly all over the sheet (rotating the image randomly) Let the ink dry before the next step.

Here, I have used different coloured papers to make the treat bags. You can also use a white sheet and lightly colour these stamped images. 

Once the ink dried, I adhered the adhesive tape to the two margins on the sheet. Peeled open the tape and assembled the treat bag by bringing in the sides together. The one and a half inch margin remain open as it is the lid/cover of the treat bag.  Repeated the process with all the three bags. 

The treat bags are ready. 

On a watercolour cardstock, I stamped the critters from the Hogs and Kisses stamp set, using Archival ink. Coloured the critters with zig markers and fussy cut them. 

Cut tags from scrap pieces of CS. 

Assemble the tag using the fussy-cut critters and the sentiments. 

Now fill the treat bags, tie a ribbon/twine around it to close it. 

Tie the tag along with the ribbon/twine.

 Here are all the finished treat bags. 

 Hope you enjoyed making these Eco-friendly treat bags. 
Wasn't it easy and exciting to make these?

I would love to hear from you.

Thank you for stopping by.
