Box Card | For Birthday - with Quilled Corners

What's up, people? I am back with another box card, also Quilled.. a little bit. This one was made for one of my friends' fiancée's birthday, with no specific instructions. So I picked a couple of 12x12 sheets that Karuna destashed and got this box started. 

Let's move to the pictures straight away then.. :)

On one of the sides, I cut out a piece of card stock using the large labels die, embossed it and distressed it using Crushed Olive Distress Ink before stamping the sentiment from the Words2color stamp set in Rich Cocoa Ink. And I did not colour the words :P

Valentine's Day 2014 | Project - The Last One(s) - Box Cards with Paper Lettering

Alright people,

I am finally sharing the last of my Valentine;'s Day 2014 Collection. After the tweaked card, the accordion card and easel card, I made three identical box cards. As I was leaving for Goa that very evening (as in I packed in the last 30 minutes that I had after my friends from college who requested these, picked them up from my house) I had no time to click pictures and I had to request them to give the cards/boxes back for a day just so that I could click pictures. But these boys took the longest to get the box to me... three and a half months!! And even then, I got only one of three back. Their excuse - they all look the same. Bah!

But I have the pictures now, so that's the silver lining. :D Anyway, this was made when we were still excited about lettering after we made this card and as my friends wanted it in their boxes too, we got to work. 

As the boxes were made for Valentine's Day, we stuck with the red and added some beige for contrast. We used red polka dotted paper from DCWV's My Sunshine Paper Pad on two sides and a beige PP from Echo Park's Paradise Beach 12x12 Collection on the other two. We did the lettering on the beige PP - 'Happy Valentine's Day' (I did this part) on one side and 'I Love You' (Moumita did this) on the other. Here are a few glimpses when we were still making the boxes.

Scenic Birthday on the Beach! ;) With cake and roses, at sunset..

I'm back with another card I made way back in January this year. What I liked about this card was the specifics I was provided with before I began. This card was made for someone's wife's birthday and he wanted sunset at the beach or at Marine Drive (I figured making a beach would be easier :P) and two figures - a boy and a girl - the girl smiling shyly while the boy hands her a cake with a bunch of roses hidden behind his back!

Extremely specific, I know. And that's what made creating this card easy and the most difficult as well. For one, the answer was obvious - I had to distress to create the scene and even though I had always dreamed of making something on these lines, I had never actually done it.

It took about five tries to get the right tone of pink, lavender, purple and orange - Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord and Wild Honey for those who speak "Tim Holtz" and only then I was satisfied that this was something I could show other people.

Once the sky was done and ready, I used The Craft's Meow's stamp set called 'Vintage Rides' and stamped a banner and the sentiment on watercolour paper and stuck it in the sky. Let me start giving you glimpses at the card.. :)

This post is picture heavy and has extremely detailed notes. :)

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. :)
