Birthday Card- Quilled Monograms

Hello Friends,

I have been really occupied with many things both at work and home. Hence was not able to spend quality time in crafting.
However I created this card for my friend whose birthday was on 12th feb'13. This a result of night shift work (12am to 1 am) for 4-5 days...!!
I tried some honey comb quilling and quilled monograms for the first time. Initially I took long time to create monograms, but once I learned the technique, it was faster.

Initially my idea was to frame it and gift it as a desktop item, but due to lack of time I converted it into a card.

Here are a some quick snapshots-

And my handmade photoframe also got a home as I gifted it to my other very good friend. Both of them were very delighted to receive these gifts from me, which made my efforts worth....!!



And now, I am waiting to hear all your comments...

Love Card...!

Hello All,

To Welcome the month of love, here is my creation.

I have used simple stamps for creating those tulips on a white CS, cut them and pasted them on red CS.
Tried to do some distressing for the first time...(definitely not up to the mark).
Hand cut hearts and sentiment on pattern papers.

End result was not so bad...so sharing it here.

Birthday card

This is simple card, I created for my mom's birthday.
All flowers and leaves are handcut.
A white CS has been used as base.
A ribbon border is used and most amazing part is the effect on border.
Can you make out how I created that..??

Well it was a long forgotten childhood activity,
I simply put the CS on a comb and rubbed my son's crayon to get the effect of that impression. Interesting na..!!

Happy Birthday - Paper collage sunflower

Well for us, January is indeed a month of birthdays..!!

So here comes my next kid friendly craft, a  paper collage sunflower.
We started as a team (me and my kid).
He got bored after sometime time and was more interested in tearing the pieces of paper.
Now I am more worried about his future text books :-(

Anyways, I was satisfied with the final outcome and here is the picture for you.
We are going to send this card to my sis, who is favorite masi of little champ..!!

This is a recycling project, as i have used old magazine pages for collage..

I am also trying my luck to win some nice gifts...!! The chance to win is there on Sindhu's blog, she has a lovely mini giveaway to celebrate 6 months of blogging. Congrats Sindhu !!


Do drop your comments...I would love to hear...

Birthday Card - Potato stamps !!

Well these cards are very very special for me.
Reason: This is the first project me and my little champ have done together :-)

So here it goes, this a simple kids craft, very easy to do and lots of fun.
I have used a small potato, made a flower and a leaf stamp using a pointed knife, oviously kiddo was not allowed in this step.

Later on we had lots of fun. we put diffferent colors on our new stamps and made two sweet cards.
One card is for his grand mom (my mother) as her birthday is fast approaching.

And second one is for his teacher...for wishing her a happy new year.

I added some stems, he helped in putting glitter and pearls for the centre of flowers.

We thoroughly enjoyed the process, only difficulty was he wanted to do more and more and was not ready to stop stamping..!!! I guess, its in the genes...:-)
On a personal note, these small arts and craft activities are great ways to bond with your kid and develop the creativity in young minds. Personally I feel it is far far better than mobiles, video games and other gadgets...!!

PS: Don't ask me why leaves are coming in from all directions...!!!!

Do drop your comments, I would love to hear....
