RE-PURPOSED TIN for a B'day!

 Heya!

Yup back to blog the other part of the B'day Project!

Had this tin around & thot of tucking in those gift tags into a DONE tin :)

So got down to the much time taking project; but since I had no time & had to complete in a couple of hours, I had to hurry thru it half way thru;

When I started with it, had many other plans to build on; But gave up & simply wound up the project within 2 hrs.....

So this is the start.....

Empty Tin

And this is what it looked like later.....

TUTORIAL - KITTY PARTY INVITES!!!

Hello Everyone!!!

Had been MIA for long..... Nothing new u say? :/

Yup! U have a point... No escape now.... Its a part of me now... & will remain so for quite sometime now....

Since I came back to Ranchi from Bangalore after a very long stay, due to my treatments in the process, the kitty group here @ Ranchi {I was coaxed into being a part of, after moving to Ranchi, for the first time in my life ever} asked me to host my kitty since I was healthy this time & since I wud b MIA again; Whoa!!!!

I knew it wud eat my time I had in hand, but again no escape; I had to 'cuz I had to :P

And this group comprises of aunties from my building where I reside & around.... {BORE!} Had attended theirs where I wud b alive mostly over the dining table.... :P {Food} But since I was hosting this month, I was determined that I wanted to make it lively than the one's I had been to.... And being a Paper Crafter, what better opportunity to show off a lil of your Paper Crafting skills to these aunties who yap a lot, ALWAYS!!!

And that was when I got my opening to Paper Crafts after a long long time.... I was actually yearning for a reason to craft.... And was given one!

Firstly, indulged in some handmade Kitty Party Invites; A lil stamping & a lil assembling of die cut work got my invites ready to be appreciated by ALL :D

And since here @Ranchi the awareness is nil as far as Paper Crafts are concerned, it gave me the perfect scope to create some.... There were many lil things I indulged in, but here I am wanting to share how I created my invites!

And here is a look of the invites:


KPinvites

Now lets get on with the making to them...... I used the dies from Itsy Bitsy towards achieving my small invite covers... Two different dies from the same set..... After I had the two pieces in hand, scored them in a way that those pieces put together would serve my purpose!

KPinvites


Scored, creased the fold & applied fevi bond & put it aside to dry.... After which I glued the two pieces together & VOILA! there I get my final cover for the invite :)

The finally made covers!!!

I had photoshoped the matter to the invite & printed them out directly onto thin red cardstock... After which I trimmed off the edges to help them go into the approximately 3X3 inches cover....

KPinvites


I stamped a Kitty Cat on the wrong side of the covers.... to suit the purpose it was made for.... :)

KPinvites


Those are the ready covers..... Now all it wanted was a lil decor to give it the required handmade look!

KPinvites


Here's how I achieved it! Stamped a hello stamp; and cut them out with the circle die cut..... after which I adhered the pieces together with pop dots.... And they went on the front of the cover to complete my invites!

KPinvites


Ready Invite!!!

Invites just arranged horizontally for an angled shot.....

I was definitely happy to have indulged in crafting after a long long time.....  :D

Hoping to b back sooner with any other indulgence, shortly!!!

RAKHI CARD in a Jiffy!!!

Hello Everyone!

Finally blogging after a break for a longer period of 4-5 months.... :(

Could not help much as I was down with ill health & frustrated with self.... So when there is no "want" in mind it is hard to bring anything into action.... All I did was travel to & fro, visit freaking doctors who are clueless & without solutions to my problems & ate food cooked by mom..... That was my Modus Operandi, all these days.... 

Traveled back to Ranchi, thot was doing good a lil hence would finally do what I loved.... Paper Craft! but in vain..... Sick again..... :( Yet managed to work on few cards which were crucial for the moment....

So today blogging the card I made for Rakhi this year... Usually my Rakhi cards have been ethnic, but this season no clue if it was the impact of my health or what, I felt it was far from being ethnic..... Kinda contemporary!

Be it whatever I was happy I could create one in a jiffy... So here it is!

2013 Rakhi Card

I stand inspired by few challenges for this card.....

The Sketch from Sketchbook Saturday Challenge.....

The Colors from ColorQ.....


 photo ThePrepNew_zps5a3ccce1.jpg


Basic Grey CS from Fabriano for the base.....
Ruby Red CS for the layer....
Yellow CS from Fabriano for a die cut strip below over the layer.....
Saffron CS from Fabriano for a die cut strip above over the layered panel......
Used Sizzix embossing folder for the border trim design....
Flowers are RAK....
Floral stamens were picked from itsy bitsy.....
Piece of burlap string from stash....
Ruby red brad was a RAK from Elizabeths Craft Room.....
Sentiment is printed out...
The Die is from Memory Box Dies - Tessatina Border.....

2013 Rakhi Card

The inside of the card, with the rakhi tied in & ready to be sent across..... :)

ICRC28 {SPEECH BUBBLE + PUN/WITTY SENTIMENT}

Hello Everyone!!!

'Ha'ppy April to you all.... Keep Laughing  :-D 

Month of celebrations for me personally is over... But nevertheless we can forever celebrate life as it comes..... Just go with the flow & find that something which brings a smile on your face & keeps you happy through the day.... Happy Smiles to All.... :)

With the new month, rolls out a new challenge on ICR, which was definitely MY CUP OF TEA! Me not keeping fine could not dampen my spirit to cook up something for this "SPEECH ACT"... And I am definite that many of you would take up this gauntlet too...... :P

"S Ketch" Up with the Story Board for ICRC28....




And below is my "pun"spiration for the same..... Hope you like it!

ICRC28

Well I have been inspired by the new Studio Calico Sketch which suited it best with a scope to interpret it the way I wanted to.....

And for color palette at Play Date Cafe left me with a yearn to work on them..... Everything put together was fresh & very much me..... :)


 photo ThePrepNew_zps5a3ccce1.jpg
It took me a lil time to figure out what I wanted to work on exactly.... With me keeping unwell, cud not stress much either with lots to do.... hence the sketch easily enticed me....

But then I even wanted my efforts to suffice my requirements now.... 'cuz my Bhabi had announced her good news & I had not reciprocated in kind :P 
What best way I could being a paper crafter.....  than for a handmade card!

After much pondering I zeroed in on the thought process channelized towards the BUN IN THE OVEN.... :P

But I was not satisfied yet..... 'cuz there was nothing that dared me yet.... I finally thought of having "pun" further...... Ans after much pondering I was happy & satisfied with what I wove till then...... I could see an impressed me all turning to be a proud pea hen...... ;)

ICRC28

The card base is from SU!
The DPs were a RAK from B & so is the washi tape....
Brads were a RAK from Elizabeth & eyelet from Gopi.....
The digi image is from The Stamping Boutique, I received as their Event Team member.... I love her sexy self..... :) 
God! When wud I pout & still b sexy..... :(Colored her with bic markers..... & threw a dash of stones to let her sparkle.....
Just trimmed the SU! label to achieve a speech bubble......
The Sentiment CONGRATS is from Close To My Heart....
And the PUNtiment was compiled on photoshop & printed out.....

I guess that's pretty much about the project...... You've got to PUN to have FUN!

Phew! Way too unique an obsession..... Shakespeare my Guru..... in"Hail" the GURU.... :P


UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
