Hi Readers,  I am sharing with you the card I made for my Mom on her birthday. I liked this card because of its simplicity. I used two card stock one in grayish green and another with tiny flowers to make the base of card. I tried the circular pattern over it. I made it with brown and pastel color card stock to make a batch like image. I have given the edge of both the circles a spark of glitter.  I have then made the three tier cake with three candles as the batch image. I added a puffy sticker from Disney series to decorate it. Additionally, I have added a tag technique to write "Happy Birthday Mom". In the above and below image you can see the tiny Rhine stones that I have placed in a circular pattern. In the above picture you can see the multi-color stones that I have added to give a different look.Below is the image of tag that I have made with brown and orange card stock. I have added a thread with a tiny tag to it. ...

Hi Readers, I am sharing a handmade card that I have recently made for my brother on his birthday. Now, the email and e-cards have replaced the cards that we used to share when young. However, the charm of getting a solid card over e-card is more. I thought and finally put my hands on to make a card for my brother. I used 4 different card stocks, ribbon, acrylic glitter colours, packaging material, Rhine stones, craft punch to make this card. Have a look at the front page below. I divided the card into four major division. In one I made a three tier cake, in another I pasted a puffy sticker. In the third one I wrote Happy Birthday with acrylic glitter and in the fourth one I made a three tier gift box and wrote my brother's nick name. Take a closer look at the first division, where I made a three tier cake with marker, acrylic glitter and small Rhine stones to decorate the cake. This gives a good birthday cake image to the card making it more birthday oriented....

Hi Readers, I am sharing with you some personalised way to wrap your gifts. In the below picture I have used printed scrap sheets and a multi colour thread to package it, with colour paper tags  to give it a different effect. This packaging can also be done with newspaper. This is a good idea to recycle old papers, printed sheets and old book papers. It is also very easy but a good personalized creation to stand apart in crowd. In the below picture look at the left hand side box. This box is also packaged with printed sheets, upon which I have added a paper flower and two paper straws. I have also stamped circles with bottle cap. And finally added a brown ribbon to give some colour. In my coming up post I will show you ideas by which you can package with brown paper usually used by school children to cover up their text books. Hope, you would have liked the ideas, please leave your feedback in the below comment section. Thanks

Hi Readers, Rakhi Purnima is coming on next Thursday 2nd Aug 2012, and I am here to present you simple idea to make your own handmade Rakhi. The thread Rakhi symbolizes, protection, love and brotherhoods. Traditionally, Rakhi thread is tied by sister's on their own brother's hand, to remind them that brothers would protect their sister forever. Though, I do not see this appropriate to the modern generation. I being the eldest among my siblings do not feel my brothers would require to protect me. Yes, definitely at hard times, I would like my brothers to stand with me, but why it should be just one sided? Can't I protect my brothers? What about the times when I taught them, stood for them and protected them. Why should the vow be taken only by boys, is it proving that this society is still divided in the name of gender. Yes, such questions not only arise in my mind, but would have been raised by many others.Though, this symbolizes that our society is dominated by mas...

Hi Readers, Rakhi or Rakhshya Bandhan is on its way next week on 2nd Aug 2012. I remember my school days, Rakhi used to be one of the most fun filled days. I have studied in six different schools as my father had a transferable job and we all moved with him to different places. It was at Jajpur that my school hosted this festival with much pump and show. We were given free Rakhi from school and were asked to tie them on as many people as possible to spread the tradition of brotherhood. It was fun to tie them on hands of people who were our father's age. I and my best friend Rupa after doing this activity, used to tie the remaining all on my brothers hand. We used to fill his both hands with rakhi's. He was in so much love with this that he used to demand us to tie more, so that he can show his friends how many rakhi threads he got. Now, we all are too busy in life and do not even have time to spare to come over to each others place. Since, I could not make it to mee...

I have also tried making a di fferent look and feel with tissue paper covering to givn a different feel. I will be posting more images of the tissue paper box in my up comming post.
