Altered Tissue Box

Hi All,

The challenge this month at Crafters Corner is a recipe challenge along with this photo inspiration.

These pastel shades were perfect for me to alter a MDF tissue box which I have been hoarding for sometime now. What do you think of the transformation????? Does it not have a very shabby chic look?

Instead of using a single color I have covered all the four sides in a combination of PP & plain color.

 

This is one of the corners................

Take another look at the gorgeous embellishments used.

Followed the ‘recipe’ given below.

1. One die cut/Punch: the picket fence, bird, leaves, corners

2. Two different pattern papers: blue PP & green used for the fence

3. Three embellishments: flowers, pearls, chipboard flourish, lace, rub on stickers (black flowers), wooden flower charm.

4. A sprinkle of glitter:blue glitter, pink flower

ICRC 28

Hello all.
This is the card I made for ICRC28 - a card with a pun/witty sentiment using speech bubbles.
Here's my OWL saying - "You are OWL this & more".
The sentiment is computer generated & the owl is a fussy cut from PP (Papermania - Honey & Hugs) & adorned with googly eyes.

A Birthday Card

Hello peeps, how are you all doing??

It was my younger daughter's birthday yesterday & here's the card I made for her. 

To begin with I had a very elaborate design in mind, but with her around all the time due to her summer break this is what I ended up making. You can find the tutorial for this card on the SCORPAL blog. 

This is the card..............with pockets to hold tags.

I really loved the distressing on the embossed tags.

Shoe Shaped Candy Holder with a Mini Easel Card

Hello friends, am back again with a new creation for this months theme......LOVE.

This time I made a very very girly candy box in pink, shaped like a high heel shoe.........yes you read it right a shoe. Used this shoe template, slightly modified the toebox. 

This is my candy box.......isn't it all pretty gorgeous in glittery pink? My daughters just cherished this & want a real shoe just like this one!!!! 

The heel can hold candies like this...........

I have used parchment paper for the toebox, embellished with a single layered flower & some bling.

Made the insole using double sided PP. Have added a mini easel card, for which I used the other side of the PP. Here's a look at the card.

Looks complicated but trust me its really easy peasy to make.

Handmade Calendar 2013

Hi all,

Am ready to share with you the calendar I made for this month's ICRC25 - New Year (2013) Calendar + Recycle/Upcycle Something.

I have recycled an envelope to create a hanging calendar with the look of a handbag!!
How???…..you will soon see!!!!

This was the envelope used

Changed its appearance by adding handmade paper & chipboard die cut (Itsy Bitsy)

The front - look of a handbag

The other side - a calendar                               

                                                                                     

Each month page can be mounted at a time in the adhesive photo corners. Have also provided a small clip to hold mini to do notes/reminders.

 The pocket behind can hold the pages for the remaining months....................

I enjoyed using so many PP & handmade papers in a single project. Have a insatiable weakness for handmade papers............……the colors & textures are just so appealing......................hope you noticed the embossed handmade paper used in the handbag.

All the colorful months -

A closer look at some embellishments

Thanks for taking the time to visit & do let me what you think about this calendar.

Have a wonderful day.
