Out Of The Box (Order By A Client)

Hello everyone..

I know I have been very irregular in posting on the blog these days. But as you know, holiday season is on. And so, have been completing some orders lately. Pictured below is one of my orders where my client wanted to gift something different to her bestie for her birthday. So, I made a tag-fold card (you will see it in my next post) and a matching box. The box as you can see in the pictures below is a combination of shades of blue, pink and white and so is the card.. 

The box has been decorated with three layers of card stock excluding the box cover and then I have embellished it with blue and pink flowers. I have used different kind of flowers and pulled them up together to form a bunch with dull green leaves and some twigs popping out from in between. The pink glitter fabric flower in the middle has been embossed by placing it a little higher. Also, the lamp post has been decorated with matching flowers and butterflies. The The pearls, laces and the silver rhinestones only add to the regal-royal look of the box. By the way pearls have been one of my all-time-favorite embellishments. 

And now, hold your breath to know whats inside the box. Taaa daaaa.. open the box, and you'll find a personalized message..with some personalized tags for the birthday girl!! The tags are attached to things which signify the birthday girl or their friendship. Like..one of the tags is a miniature bottle of thumsup which says 'Thumbsup to our friendship.. and so on..I distressed the tags in pink and green color and hand wrote the messages on the tags.

The best part of making it was that the birthday girl loved the gift and when she got to know that I made it, she sent me a message too. 

Hope you all like it too.

Winter Calling!!

Hellooooo Everyone!!

I'm writing this post after a long long break. As I told you assignments and presentations kept me just too busy!! But now I'm back!!

As winters have already started.. I thought I'll make a card for the same. I love this season. 

For the card, I have used a lot of orange color as it is one of my favorite colors. The image is a Wee stamp named Holly (Just like my sister.. even I'm a big big fan of these lovely stamps by Sylvia). You can find her here. I have colored her with some bright colors as during winters when the surroundings are just so white..bright clothes look just so perfect. Also have added some hand made flowers and a little punched leaves. I have put her in a frame..distressed it and added a ribbon over the top. For the background, I have used a bright orange sheet and placed a floral print sheet. This card has a lot of layers.

Hope you like it!!

Get Well Soon!!

Good Afternoon Everyone!! 

Yet another Thursday, and a new challenge at 4CraftyChicks!! 

The next challenge for October has a theme known 'Layers'  and it goes live on their blog today. Its really a pleasure to be a GDT for the month of October!! This theme has endless creativity!! So, put on your creative thinking caps and get going!! I'm sure you all are looking forward to grab the badge which says 'proud recipient of the golden egg blog award'!! 

My GDT card for the same is below. I made this card for my husband's grandfather who underwent an operation last week!! And so to cheer him up ..I made this get-well soon card with neon colors which symbolize brightness and happiness. For the base I took a handmade sheet with a wooden feel and popped a pink colored handmade sheet over it and then added a layer of embossed tissue to go with the theme 'Layers'. I then embellished the card with pink colored flowers and added some metal flowers too and then placed some punched leaves over it. All this gave it a creeper type feel.. Also I placed the sentiment in golden so as to highlight it!! To give it a glittery feel, I made sparkled swirls all over the card.

For embellishments, feather, flowers and pollens have been used. All of which perfectly match the theme. For the base, I have used a brown handmade sheet with glitter (although, the glitter is not visible in the picture. And the second layer has a printed sheet with balloons all over (birthday theme).
