A dear dear friend of mine is expecting her first baby in a few weeks and asked me to make something for the tiny tot. I suggested a baby scrapbook and she was immediately on board. I picked up an Itsy Bitsy spiral bound blank scrapbook. It contained 50 sheets of different colored A4 card stock and suited me just fine. I’m still working on the cover and the opening page but here’s a glimpse of the next few pages.  The best thing about a scrapbook is that it gives you the opportunity to try out Read more…

A friend recently told me about vellum sheets and I have come to find that it is one of the most versatile and pretty materials to add to a card. For those learning about it for the first time, it’s a see through paper often seen in wedding invitations. ItsyBitsy carries A4 size vellum sheets and once I got them in hand, I got to work on 3 projects using this material. Plus, in line with our challenge this month I have incorporated the Big B’s – Brads, Bows, Beads and Bling in each card.The first Read more…

It’s been a while since my last post. I was really busy with my little daughter’s 1st birthday and a trip to Gods Own Country. I returned yesterday and got crafting immediately – you know how addicted we crafters can get!So my first project this week is a Thank You card for my buddy Aliena. She was a total star throughout the planning and execution of Kyra’s party. She gave me ideas for the food, brought back a bunch of cookie cutters, cake ingredients and muffin containers from Kuwait for me and Read more…

It’s a new month crafters and it’s time for a new challenge. So we’ve come up with something quite exciting, an opportunity for everyone to surge forward with their creativity. And we’re calling it The BIG ‘B’ challenge. Now we’re not saying that Amitabh Bachchan has to be your inspiration. Nope we’re talking about the other BIG ‘B’s – Beads, Brads, Bows and BLING! This card I created incorporates all four elements but that’s not an essential requirement of the challenge. You will have to incorporate Read more…

Off the bat, we have to say that we are THRILLED with the response to our TriColor challenge. The specifications were simple – make anything you like as long as the dominant color scheme is the Indian TriColor. We got 38 fantastic entries and quite honestly it was really difficult choosing the winners. So here goes.The two winners who will each receive vouchers of Rs. 1000 from ItsyBitsy are… Priyanka with her awesome TriColored Quilled Card and Hussena with her superbly embellished Top Note Box Read more…

It’s time for some drama peeps and nothing is more dramatic than the color combination of pink, black and white. So I put together a little card using these colors. It doesn’t slide, explode or stand up but I’m pretty kicked with the way it turned out. And with Teachers Day just around the corner, I thought it would be a perfect way for my little boy to show his appreciation for his nursery ‘Aunty’. If you’re an avid crafter like me, you probably spend a great deal of time scouring YouTube for craft Read more…

So my little girl Kyra is turning one next week and I’ve been busy crafting my head off for her birthday party. The theme is sunflowers and I’ve managed to incorporate the theme quite substantially in the entire event. The birthday invitations, decorations, thank-you cards and take away gifts are all embellished with sunflowers. And I couldn’t have done it without my Big Shot and some super dies.Sunflower  InvitationsThis was the invitation card. I kept it fairly simple considering I had to make Read more…

An exploding box is a great variant to a traditional card. From the outside it looks like a present or gift box but then when you open it, you’re in for a lovely surprise – photos, messages and other personalized notes. My mother-in-law’s birthday is this Friday and I thought this would be great way to wish her as well as share some timeless photos.At first glance, it looks just like a gift. The idea is that we give it to her as if it is her birthday present. Then when she opens it, she’ll be treated Read more…
