Valentines' day Card #1

Hello all,

trying to stay active in blog land. ok today here is my card for dear hubby for Valentines. Made a card for simply the reason of crafting after a long while, no orders, no commission.

Its been long since i made simple open n close cards, i prefer interactive and multi layered cards but this one was fun creating. It was a quick one. The hot air balloons are cameo cut as i dint have a die for it. I added the basket weave design for slight texture. Slight distressing and doodling here and there. 

That's it today, thanks for dropping by and for ur lovely comments. Thanks again

Money Envelope!!

Good to post again today,

my dashboard was filled with soo many lovely drooling creations. Thanks to all the crafters for the inspiration. I jus wish i had that time and patience to craft more.

In my attempt to keep my blog active and live, am posting one of my old project, a simple and elegant money envelope.

The theme was red and gold and it was for a boy, so i ended up with dis design. Thanks for dropping by my blog. Have a crafty weekend

Simple Terracotta ear Studs!!

Hi there people, 

Today am sharing few more of my trials with Terracotta jewelry. I made few studs for my daughter, which she can wear for her school, something simple and neat. 

So check out the pics and do give ur opinion. (tried out some photography too ;) )

Dark blue geometric design

Square shaped stud

Dark blue flower shaped stud

I kept the colours mostly on the darker side since the school uniform is blue and white. 

I was looking for apt places to click the pics, we are very comfortable with clicking scrapbooks and cards, but jewelry? it was pretty messy at first , then tried it on flowers. The ear pieces looked bright and beautiful on a Gerbera flower. And here it is.

Hope u liked it. Thanks for dropping by

My Silhouette Cameo - the First cut

Hello Friends,.

Today am soo happy to share a wonderful news. Yes!!! I have got a brand new Silhouette cameo. And it was a gift for my birthday from my husband. Such a wonderful surprise!

It sure will make my life easy and i can confidently take orders, which till now i have been limiting a lot due to time concern.

I dont want to go into much details, still trying new things with it. Here is the set i got, 

I also got the Tool set as freebie along with it. Ok here is my first cut with the cameo.

The first pic is a Figure Skater, my daughter is a figure skater. So i simply had to do this design. The second is again the Skates, its a 3 layer piece.

The third one is free design already present in the library. So i just tried the tag with 2 colours.

Thanks a lot for dropping by my blog to visit my cameo. Happy weekend to all. See you soon with a cameo project.

Photo Frame for set of Twin Boys!!

Hello and Wish u all a very happy Republic day

Its going to be short post today, jus trying to keep my lil blog alive :[]

Ok here is a photo frame made for a set of 1month old twin boys. So here i have tried to keep it all blue, cute and simple.

Am loving Chevron more and more and use it in almost all projects, such a versatile design it is. I have used a few layers at the bottom of the frame, other than that its pretty simple. 

You must have notices it, yes i have used glossy accents on the centre frame of "my kids" and it simply pops and gives dimension. My glossy accents was in hibernation till now :[]

So hope you all loved this cute lil frame. See you all soon again, i do have a lil secret to share(publish).... hehe

Take care everyone!
Be proud! Be Indian!!

Terracotta Jewelry - Peacock!!!

Hello Dear Bloggers

Wish u all a very happy New year 2016!!!!! Hope this year turns out to be an exciting crafty one.

Well my last few posts have been anything but paper crafts and so is this one gonna be.
Recently i had attended a Terracotta class and it was soo interesting to create our own specific designs in jewelry.

Today am posting one tedious job done with the Peacock Jewelry. The pics first ofcourse,

The chain

The Pendant

Side View

Loved the outcome of this. Though i never wear such heavy or big jewelry, jus loved doing the paint job and the assembling (ofcourse these are the easier work). The more tedious job is the rolling of clay and shaping it. 

Am not yet an expert at this. So no tutorials or instructions as of now. Hoping to do few more designs wenever possible.

Hope you liked this. Wishing you all a colourful New Year!!!

Love

Fresh floral Jewelry

Hello folks...

its been ages since i blogged. Today i have something interesting and different from cards and paper craft. Yes, its my first try with fresh floral jewelry. I designed and laboured over it for a whole night. Here are the pics first,

Ok as you see the various floral ornaments i made are

Necklace, 

Hip chain, 

Bangles, 

Vangi (upper arm), 

Nethi Chutti (forehead chain), 

Earrings, 

Hair accessories 

The main flower ingredient is Nandhiyavattai (tamil), Moonbeam or wax flower in english and Chandni in Hindi. I also used Rose petals, few beads and golden lace along with it. 

The flowers look like jasmine because they were harvested as small buds. This adds to the beauty and sturdiness. First i made a lot of strings with the white flower and then put the parts together. It was time consuming and fun and interesting too.

The Dollars/pendants took the most time. First i started with the golden cloth and threaded it to make it look like a flower, then layered it with white flower, rose petals, golden bead and finally a red one. I loved it. Dint know my first experience would turn out satisfactory. My favourite though were the earrings, i bought a plain hoop earring and threaded the flowers directly to it. It suited my lil gal very much.

Thanks for dropping in my blog, hope u liked it. Do drop your comments and experience on fresh flower jewelry. Any tips and techniques are also welcome.

Hoping to blog more. It clears my mind and gives a lil peace time.

Bye bye
