Altered tags

Hello...

Today I have some mixed media tags over the blog.

I have collected loads of tags from new clothes and backing paper from stickers, over a long time now, with the hope that someday I would revive them all into something useful and/or something beautiful.... 

I have somehow managed to revive few of them here and gave them a sort of rebirth...Hopeful to do the same with the remaining lot too....

 (2 of the tags here are from the backing paper of a sticker set.)

 Here are the pics of them all...

(p.s. It's a picture heavy post... I just want my pictures to talk :-D)

Tags - 6nos

The tags can be used to adorn any gift. Each tag has an inspirational message / quote. Here are the closeup view of them all..... 

                                       

                                      

                                        

I made these tags on 8th March on the occasion of Women's day but was unable to finish them and upload. These are inspiring tags for all the women all around the world...Dream big, Seize today and Be happy always! Happy Women's day!!

I really enjoyed making them a lot. Just waiting to make more soon. How did you like my tags? Which one is your favorite?

Mini- LOVE CANVAS

Hello, everyone!

I am sharing a Mini canvas art today. 

A "LOVE CANVAS" as I would like to call it.

I picked up a very tiny 4"x4" canvas for this. I sprayed them with colour splash (Tangerine, Hot pink, Lime splash) randomly to cover the canvas completely. After heat-drying the canvas, I stuck a doily in the centre of it. Adhered 2 glitter washi tapes at the bottom. 

I used a small white circular die cut (Scallop circle die from Itsy bitsy) and stuck some message sentiments on it. This is covered with a larger die-cut in patterned paper with acetate window in the centre.

 I embellished the canvas with flowers and a message sentiment at the top. 

So my mini canvas was ready in minutes. 

And it looks so cute and adorable. Don't you agree?

Thank you for dropping by my blog. Do leave some love in the comments below.

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!!!

How do you like them? So when are you trying your own?

Matchbox pop-up card

Hello Everyone!

Today at the blog I am again with yet another Valentine's project. 

A Matchbox pop-up card to express your love!!

If you wish to make one similar to this follow the steps given below.

To begin with 

• I took a Black cardstock (Approx. 7.5" x 3.5") 
• Score the paper at the intervals of 1/2", 3.5", 4", 7" (Basicallly dividing the paper as shown in the diagram)
• Fold the papers at every interval and stick the ends to form the cover for the matchbox. (Sorry guys....I forgot to click pictures while making it...Please refer the hand-drawn instructions...hope they help :(....)

• Cut a pattern paper a little smaller than the top size. Stick it on the top.
• Take another cardstock approx. 4" x 4.5"
• Score at 1/2" on all 4 sides. 

• Trim and fold up the sides and glue together to form a box.  

• Next take 3 strips of size 3" x 1/2" and score them in the centre.
• Fold them in half and stick one end of each into the box. These become the stand for our pop-ups
• Now cut hearts of different sizes and different patterned papers. 

• Arrange them on the stands inside the box. 
• Stick them randomly over one other (Make sure they all fit into the box with they are pushed down)
• Stick a pop-up sentiment.

• Insert this box into the cover we made earlier.
• Decorate the top of the cover.
• Tie a ribbon around the cover.
• Stamp and cut a sentiment. Add a tiny heart.

There the Pop-up matchbox card is ready!!

Hope to see you soon.

Altered box

Good Evening!

Back with another Altered project. An altered box just in time for Valentine's day.

This is a small approx. 4" x 4" bangle box from a jeweller. 

I have altered it to make a small Valentine's box storing a series of pictures. 

Here is the step-by-step procedure -

• Paint the entire box in black (This is basically to cover the logo / name of the jeweller)
• Cut and stick the pattern paper as per the sizes to cover the box from all sides. 
• Stick the embellishments such as laces, flowers chipboard, sequins etc.
• Stick a sentiment.
• For the pictures, take a sheet of paper (size 3" x 12") accordion fold it.
• Embellish each fold of the paper with some decorations. Put photos on each fold and personalise it.
• Fold it and put it inside the box. 
• There!  the box is ready to be gifted... :)

Here are some pictures of the same -

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.
