Happy BIRD-DAY!

Hellooo....

A late night post just before heading to bed... :)

A happy BIRD-DAY card!!!

I guess the name says it all.

Its the Birthday of "Charlie" and all his friends have gathered together to wish him a very happy birthday!!! hehehehe... 

That sounds like a wonderful bedtime story... ;-)

So here we go ...

Charlie is surrounded by all his friends who have just droppped in to wish him a happy birthday!!!

Let's see how they all came together....

All the birdie friends were stamped on a white cardstock, coloured and fussy cut. Charlie "the birthday boy" was stamped on another cardstock and coloured. It was die-cut with a circle die.

The smaller die-cut circle was mounted over the larger die-cut circle and stuck on the base cardstock. The other birdies were arranged all around Charlie!

Lastly came in the BIRD-DAY sentiment.

There the birthday party begins!!!

Christmas *LatePost*

Hello there!

This is Christmas post.

 I have been a little late in posting this. Somehow it skipped my mind. But as i had specially designed it for  a challenge, here I am posting it. 

A CAS card!

A Clean and simple card, easy to replicate. 

• Cut the cardstock to the required sized card.
• Cut the patterned paper a little smaller than the cardstock, so that a border of the cardstock can be seen under the patterned paper. Stick it on the cardstock.
• Stick the stickers and embellishments (Santa, gifts etc.)  as desired.
• Stick the sentiment in the centre on a foam adhesive. 
• Put a star on one corner. So simple.
• And your card is ready!!

Thank you for dropping by.

Christmas Paper bags

Hello Everyone!!

Last week before Christmas.... Few more things lined up for completion ... Last few Christmassy projects to be finished....!!

Today I am here with Cute little Paper bags for Christmas gifting. 

Be it chocolates, keychains or anything else for that matter, wouldn't be exciting and joyful to receive gifts in these bags...?? :-D

The bag is made up of Brown colored. With the help of WRMK paper bag punch board, I could make custom sized bag as per my requirement.

The paper bags are covered with colorful, Christmas themed patterned papers. Few decoartions such as a cute Santa and an Owl adds up to make the layers.

 Christmassy sentiments finishing up the decorations. 

The bags have one single hole punched in the centre. 

Fill in the treat and then tie the ribbon around. This ensures that the treat inside remains within the bag without any chance of dropping out. :-)

There it is!! So very simple and elegant too... :)

Here it goes!!!

Thank you for dropping by my blog. 

Hope you all like the paper bags.

Kindly leave your comments below. I really love to check them all. :)

Altered Bottle

Hello Everyone!

Came up with yet another Holiday project!! Hope you people will like it.

An altered glass bottle!

I have loads of things piled up in my so-called "to do" list. Piled for quite sometime now. 

Nothing in my house will ever make it to the dustbin/scraps i guess. 

Having said so I have been piling up these small glass bottles for many many days (or is it years......considering the no of bottles with me...??....) now :-D

In India, we get flavored milk in these bottles. So after every dose of milk, the bottles are cleaned and stashed up for some form of repurpose. 

Finally i could bring myself up to refurbish these two lucky bottles.

Now they are as good as new....

The bottles are covered with a decoupage paper having red roses. The top I wanted to cover with some form of cords...I always find, covering the top with a paper, little bit tedious...what with the tapering shape. 

Cords are easier ... :-D

In one I have used the paper strings and jute thread for the other. Both of them give different looks. The paper strings giving a more polished look as the jute gives a more rustic look. 

On the jute one I added some decorations like the feathers (red , green xmas colors) , some flowers, a set of bells tied with twine (Christmas season is incompete with bells... ;-) ) and a butterfly!

On the second one, I added different types of flowers, a Holly leaf with cherries, a set of bells tied around with a twine and a little sentiment of "happy holidays" !

TADAAA......There its done!!

It can now be used for displaying some articial flowers... I want to try putting an LED inside to illuminate a corner ... can also be used as it is as a Display piece... what say??

It actuallly didn't take all that long to refurbish the bottles...  

Hopefully the beautification of all my bottles will happen soon.. ;-)

New year resolution.....hahahah...

Hopefully you guys like my Altered creation of the bottle.

Hello Friends,

Christmas fever catching up everyone everywhere.....Just one more week left for the season to begin!!!

I am in my last minute card making and order completing sessions. 

The Printed / patterned papers are from #itsybitsy store.  

The linen papers are really wonderful to work with. Good to touch and feel. And obviously lovely look. It adds to the elegance and liveliness of the cards.

Adding to the beauty of the cards are some Washi tapes, ribbons, twines and some stickers.

That's all for today!

TRying to come up with some more cards in between completing my commitments. 

I would really love to hear from you. Kindly leave a comment below. 

Till then Keep Crafting!

Thank you,
