"Your Birthday is the happiest day of my life!"

Hello Friends,

I have been away from the blog world for a very long time now! Not that I have not been creating, just that I have not been active here. I had made this Mini scrapbook for a friend who wanted to gift his wife something special for her first birthday after marriage.
This is a cute one :)

The cover page has PP in paisley design. It is gold and brown in colour. I have kept the sentiment to a minimal - Happy Birthday!

 A closer view of the bunch, butterflies and the pearls.

 The first page. The left side has a tag where personal wishes can be written.

The next page is a honey comb! The sentiment says Bee Mine :)

                                                            More tags and pockets.

                                                A flap to open up which has a pic inside.

The last page has a accordion card. The left side has an empty space to write down a personal message.

And finally the box in which this pretty went :)

Challenges Entered - Color Conceptions - Anything but cards
Beyond Grey - Grown with love  - I have used the colours red, yellow/gold, green, white throughout the project and the garden element is of course the butterfly :)

Hugs and Cheers,
Rohini :)

Guest Designing for Sentimental Sundays - Feb 2 , 2014

Hi Friends,

I am back from my vacation and wanted to share this special news that Calypso from Sentimental Sundays has given me a chance to Guest Design for her blog for the month of February .. yoohooo!

For these cards I was asked specifically to use stamps - something very new for me . For the card for week 1 , I chose a Birthday Cake stamp. Apt because my sister-in-law's birthday was approaching and I had to make a card for the theme - Birthday Card for a special Women.

I have created this birthday card for a wonderful person who deserves every bit of happiness in her life. Hope this card adds to some of it :) I have used pastel colors like lavender and cream , stamped it with pretty baby pink ink and used pearls to decorate around the stamp. Pink and purple colored ribbons add to its femininity.

Hugs and Love to one and All,
Rohini :)

Happy Birthday - Napkin fold card!

Hello Friends,

2nd post of the day!

Special fold cards always inspire me to try them . Tri-shutter was the first one and now this. Here I would like to share the Napkin Fold card which I made for a friends birthday. My better half and me were in a dilemma about what to gift our friend and my husband finally suggested - handmade it should be!
So the search for the proper card type began and after surfing the net for Special Fold Cards, I came upon this. Its quite simple but when layered with beautiful coordinating and contrasting colors , it looks almost magical. Also since it was supposed to be made for a guy we kept the colors and shape to be - blue and geometric. So nothing explicit but totally masculine!

I have used pearls here to embellish the corners and some pretty patterned paper to cover the cross sections.The center part has a background image stamped in it which reads Happy Birthday. I have added 2 corners to it too.

The card is held together with a band which has a sentiment written on it - Happy Birthday. It is tied together with a flurry of colorful ribbons. Our friend really liked it :)

Hope you had a good time going through the pics.

Entering it into the following Challenge(s) :

Dream Valley Challenge - Boys/Men

Hugs and cheers!

Happy Birthday - Folding Card

Hello Again dear Friends ,

I am here to share with you a folding card which I made for a team mate and friend's wife's Birthday. All he wanted was to surprise her with something handmade and personal - and this is what I made him.

 The card has 4 folds. The first and the last have space to hold personal messages and sentiments like "Happy Birthday" and "You Complete Me".

The inner side has space for 2 sentiments apt for the occasion.

The 2 folds in the middle have frames to hold pictures. They can be slid out and be changed as and when desired.

The folding card is held together with a satin ribbon. Somehow , I am too fond of ribbons and pearls :) They add such grace and softness to any craft!

And again , the customized box. I just don't let my dear husband rest in peace :)

~~ Thanks for visiting

Birthday Easel Card - For Her

Hi Friends,

Birthdays are special and when celebrating the birthday of the most special women in your life, it is imperative that you shower her with loads of love and make her feel special : top to toe!

This easel card has been made specially for a girl. Its round and scalloped and blooming with roses!
I have added a chipboard design which enhances the femininity of the card. I have also added a few butter flies which will sure create a flutter in the heart of the one who receives it. :).

There is a pocket behind the top portion which holds a tag. The front portion is left blank for writing down some personal messages and the back side has a lovely sentiment written down with silver glitter.

And then again, this beauty comes with a personalized gift box which was duly made by my hubby dearest :)

Thanks for visiting!
