Patriotic Card - Tricolor inspired

With this card I made for Catchy Challenges Season II, I have attempted to express love, respect and pride for my country. Do let me know what you think of this effort. The feathers & the blue wheel capture the spirit of our national flag. The white background with minimum embellishment symbolizes peace and purity.

Thanks for dropping by.................cheers.

A Star shaped card

Hello friends,
Here's a second post from me today.
Its a star shaped card with a fancy fold but very quick & easy to make. The template for this card is easily available on the internet ( I used this link).

This is how the card opens. I love the shimmering heart border used in the inside & the tiny hearts scattered all over were remains from border....................too cute not to be used!!!!!

The other side of the card - a perfect STAR

Wedding Card with an aperture

Hi friends,

Have a look at this card I made for the current ITSY BITSY challenge. As you can see its a simple aperture card. The hand cut cake is glued to the inside of the card & peeps out through the aperture. I have layered the inside of the card with printed vellum.

A closer look at the cake

The front of the card was embossed with the ITSY BITSY Love hearts embossing folder. I just love their embossing folders…………….the effect is so outstanding! Take a closer look

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 -
