Jungle Birthday Party

Hi, Peeps!

I have a very special project today on my blog. 

A (shadow) box card depicting a Jungle Birthday party. A Perfect gift for any child. 

Let us first see the project.

I began with making a shadow box with a cardstock. I have a tutorial here, for making the shadow box right from scratch. 

I stamped the animal/cake/cap images with the "Stacking Animals" set from Simon Says stamp, Hippo from the "Hippo Birdie - Year Four" by Lawn Fawn, Cake from "Elphie Selfie" from LanFawn and Monkey/birthday cap from Craftyscrappers. 

(How many animals could you find...?? :-D)

Coloured all the images and fussy cut them. 

Die-cut the grass strips from "Grassy border" die from Lawn Fawn. Stamped the sentiment from "Magical Birthday" stamp set of Simon says stamp on a grass die-cut. Die-cut some leaves, butterflies and a bird-house. 

Arranged and mounted all the elements on the shadow box created a Jungle scene. For the top, I cut few strips of paper to make a banner and wrote"PARTY" on it. 

Filled in all the gaps with flowers from my stash. 

Check this video

Friends, I know the post has a lot of pictures... I wanted to capture the entire feel of the Jungle scene..though I was still not happy with the effect :(

Any inputs and your valuable feedbacks are welcome.

Thank you for dropping by my blog!

Shaker Fridge magnets

Hello, everyone!

I am so very happy to share a very fun-filled and very cute creation with you all. 

Die-cut fridge magnets! 

I had lots of fun creating these magnets. The most important and fun part about this is that these fridge magnets can be made in absolutely any theme. 

You think of it and it can be done.

Just imagine!!

These can be a wonderful gift for kids. 

Sit back and enjoy the post.

(Warning - This is a picture heavy post!!!)

Owl Magnet !!

This is a shaker magnet. I have used green and brown shaker elements to give the effect of nature. The die-cuts are also green coloured. A die-cut leaf is attached with an owl sticker embellishing it. Attach a magnet sheet from behind.

Little Birdie!!

This is again a Shaker magnet. I have stamped the birdie image and the sentiment on the inside and used tiny heart die-cuts as the shaker elements. Flowers are used for embellishing. Attach a magnet sheet from behind.

Nemo Magnet!!

The Nemo-magnet is a scene magnet and not a shaker magnet. All the elements inside are stuck on the inner paper. The fish goes on the top. This gives a great 3D effect in actual (unable to catch that in the photo) Used Chevron print blue paper inside to give the water effect. Attach a magnet sheet from behind.

  Flower magnet!!

Again a Shaker magnet. Stamped a sentiment inside and used tiny floral shaker elements. Embellished the magnet with some beautiful flowers. Attach a magnet sheet from behind.

There they are!! My Fridge magnets!!!

Flip album

Hello!! Everyone!

Today on the Blog, I am showing you my new project.... A Flipbook!!

This is the first time I am making one, so there are going to be some mistakes along. Please feel free to point out anything I have done wrong or can do better so that I can implement it in my further projects. 

Here we go....

This flip book measures around 4" x 6".

• Took a 12" x 12" black cardstock and cut it into 2 halves. Each part I scored at 4" intervals. I had 2 parts with 3 panels each.
• I took a strip of black paper measuring 1"x6". Folded it into half and used it to glue the two parts together. The inside of the album is ready now.
• I then took 2 pieces of cardstock, this time a little taller than 6" but 4" wide.Covered this piece with patterned paper and stuck it on the first and the last panel of the album. (Sandwich a piece of satin while doing this on either side)
• I then cut n stuck the patterned papers on all the inner panels (Size little less than 4x6 so that a black border can be seen all around.)
• Made a pocket on one of the panel to insert tags.
• Then came the embellishments, stickers, laces, sentiments, flowers etc.
• On the cover page of the flipbook, I made a small photo frame, embellished it with a stamped message.
• A bird on a tree chipboard adorned the cover page.  

TADAA... My flipbook is ready!!!

Here are some inside pics...

I am really happy with the outcome. Friends, please do leave me your feedback or any suggestions on the same.
