Box Card | Lawn Fawn Stamps & Quilled Chocolates

So I have another box card for you which is one of the cutest we have made so far! This one marks one year since the couple first met. We did a little bit of a twist on the earlier box card that we made..

Here are the pictures...

Lawn Fawn Stamps (Love 'n Breakfast), PP from Kaisercraft's Save the Date Paper Pad,

some colouring with Faber Castell Watercolour Pencils 

and some distressing on the edges of the sentiment and the image

and this side was done..

Right at this moment, I am feeling so so sad. This is the last page of the scrapbook and I have waited so long to share it and now that I have done that, I have nothing to look forward to! :( But I am sure there will be more and I will love those pages even more, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel :P So yay! :D

Anyway, let's see this page. This one captures the couple's honeymoon and the pictures - even though there were just two - were so so gorgeous that I had no choice but to use the best papers and the best combination of embellishments. So I picked this grey wooden background (which, honestly, I was planning to use for my personal scrapbook. That is, if I ever get to making one :P) from Crate Paper's Flea Market Collection and I fell in love!

Let's get started with the peeks now!!

This is the top left corner of the page and I have used Golden Striped Washi Tape 

and Wood Veneer Chevrons.

The little blue cloud is is from Kaisercraft's Hopscotch Collection (as are many other pieces on this page :P)

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new week!

Last week was so much fun!!! There was a wedding in the family and I have no idea how the went past!!! What's more is that I had to ensure that the posts didn't stop, so it took some extreme dedication and discipline on my part to finish them in advance and for the first time SCHEDULE them!! :P :P

Anyway, speaking of weddings, this page is all about the couple's wedding. An Indian wedding attire (especially for the bride) is traditionally in reds, maroons and pinks and this one was no different. So I chose a nice pink PP from Crate Paper's Flea Market Collection with pink hearts and all that bokeh effect with the hearts in the background. With the perfect paper in hand, I picked out all the matching embellishments and was ready to go! Let's start with peeks, shall we?

This is the top right corner of the page and aside from the washi tape, I've used two die-cut pieces

from none other than Kaisercraft's Hopscotch collection.

Scrapbook - Page #3: Arranged Dating

I love the title of the page. Even more so because it didn't come from me. The couple wanted to call their courtship as Arranged Dating and I thought it was pretty cool and I went along with it.

Let me start with peeks from various corners and angels of this page before showing the whole thing to you.

The background paper is from Crate Paper's Flea Market collection. 

The blue chevron PP is from My Mind's Eye's Citron Paper Pad from the Indie Chic collection.

I have used the Spellbinders Edgeabilitles Scallop Die and Distressed it with Tea Dye Distress Ink.

I have used the following thickers/chipboard stickers for the page title:

a) ARRANGED - Glitter Foam Thickers, Sunny Banana

b) DATING - Campy Trails Wood Stickers - Forest Chestnut by American Crafts

All the pages in this scrapbook (so far, there are only five, including the cover. I am hoping I will get the opportunity to add more later) have a story to tell. 

Page #1 - Cover

Page #2 - When the couple's engagement was finalised/Roka done on her birthday (thus the page title)

Page #3 - Courtship

Page #4 - Wedding, and finally,

Page #5 - Honeymoon.

Now that I've explained the story behind the page title, let me reveal (again) that I was making this was around the time I had purchased a load of new craft supplies and Crate Paper's Flea Market collection was nothing like I'd seen before. To add to my delight and absolute craftasgmic pleasure, the die cuts from Kaisercraft's Hopscotch Collection co-ordinated so well with the papers that I am tempted to call this scrapbook the Flea Market Hopscotch Scrapbook. You know what, maybe I will! It's my creation, I get to call it whatever I want!!

And put those two together with some gorgeous washi tapes and wood veneers and we have ourselves a couple of fascinating pages! Here's one for sure.. Alright, I'll try and be humbler from this point forward.. :P

For this page, I used a teal coloured wood-grain background.

To the top of the page, I cut out a strip from on of the 12 x 12 sheets from DCWV's My Sunshine Paper Pad,

adhered it with only a little bit of glue and then and ran my Sew Easy tool over it.

So the upper section is actually stitched together by hand and will hold up even if the glue doesn't - not that it won't. :)

For the page title, I used two things...

a) American Crafts & Pebbles' Walnut Grove Thickers - DOUBLE

b) Studio Calico's Wood Veneer Alphabets - {DELIGHT}

I am so excited to be able to share this new scrapbook with you because with experience, this one has turned out to be waaay better than I expected. Also, I made this when I had just purchased some new craft supplies. Actually, some is an understatement; I had purchased a whole lot, and I used quite a bit of those in this scrapbook.

Here's a glimpse of all the yummy stuff I had bought!!

Valentine's Day 2014 | Project 3 - (My First) Easel Card

Hello everyone!!!

Today I am sharing the third project for this year's Valentine's Day and I am really excited about it because I have tried something new. I tried an Easel Card!! Hurray for me!! :D 

The card measures 6"x 6" and I've used a whole lot of red on this card (I had refrained from using red on the other two cards - Card 1 | Card 2) 

I've used patterned paper from Crate Paper's DIY Shop paper pad and on the top, I used white Fabric Tape.

Valentine's Day 2014 | Project 1 - Accordion Card

Hello people!

I am back after a really long time. It's two months late, but I am now sharing the projects that I made for Valentines' Day. Sadly, I didn't make any for my husband. :(

Anyway, this one is an accordion card and was requested by one of my friends from school for her husband, and in a rare occasion today, I am going to type less and get straight to the pictures. Lesser than normal, I meant. :P

When I was making this, I was still in love with the Quilled Creations Rose Die and I thought I'd use them here. :)

BGC #45 - Sweet Tooth | Candy Makes Everything Better!

Hello crafty people!!!

Today I am sharing a card that I made for Beyond Grey Challenges' Challenge #45 - Sweet Tooth! This challenge was running from February 1st to February 15th of this month and as usual, I am a little late in posting this! :P

As a part of the challenge, we had to create a card that has the following two things:
   a. Something sweet on it.. Like an ice-cream or chocolate or a cookie on it. I decided to go with Candy!
   b. At least three colours from this palette.. I used almost all of them :)

Another Accordion Card: Eight Flaps this time! :)

Hmmmm.. So when was the last post on this blog? A little over a month ago. And the project I am about to share was made even before that... September 16, to be more exact.. (According to the image details :P) But I am here and I have loads of stuff to share.

For today's project, I have another Accordion Card and this one has 8 flaps. That's a lot. The first one I made had four, the next one, six and this one eight. I have a feeling the one after this might have ten; based on the trend. I may as well call it an Accordion Album, but we'll get to that when it happens.

Anyway, this was another Happy Birthday Card from a group of friends for one special girl. Let's start with the peeks of the outside of the card, shall we?

Please click on the image to see larger versions of it.

I almost always have some stitching on my projects, but this time I decided to just do some piercings on the PP and NOT stitch. So the PP on the outside as well as on the inside has that on all four sides.

I also made a banner by folding a few circles punched out of various scrap PPs.

The card also has a lot of fussy cut butterflies.
