Few more cards!

Hello there,

          MIA for a while.. in a new home now.. now everything is alright..
         As soon as I saw the Celebrating Childhood in ICR, I wanted my kid to participate in it.. He is a sweet ,adorable 5 year old boy!!I am not saying this because he is my Son.. I ve heard so many ppl say this to me.. yes.. and I feel lucky to have him in my life!

       He seems to be happy just with my physical presence.Not to mention when we are having our good times together every other day!!He keeps himself busy with all the nuts,bolts and spanners in the car making kit, which are meant for 8 yr olds!! and he does a decent job at it! So I was misled to believe, he is like his father..

     He shows much less interest in drawing and coloring and I had to coax him to make this card , with a candy.. :)) The picture is from his coloring book. He chose the sentiment and wanted to send this to his Grandpa!.. I have to say I am amazed at his stamping skills! I never let him stamp in my card, when we made card together.. But never declined his trials on rough papers.. but this stamping is a complete surprise for me!!ohh..  I have written so much about him.. could nt stop..! hope u r not bored!

        I received a card from Lucy this Diwali!! that was a complete surprise and I really appreciate and admire her gesture..as we had not known each other , other than few comments in blogs.. Thanks Lucy!This means a lot!! and I see, how much the blogland has given to me!!

and I received a card from ICR for my anniversary!! Pooja sent me this.. :))Thanks ICR;))  these sweet little things make us feel , we are a part of the ICR family.. :))

Thanks for visiting

CAS cards and Kanzashi flower tutorial

hello peeps,

      Today's cards are completely CAS- All of them for CraftyJC. Though CAS is not my style, I occasionally enjoy making them.. :)But then, I have to restrict myself, the feeling of adding something more to the card.. :)

     This is a simple Pattern Paper weaving, with scraps of leftover PP.Nothing much to say abt it..

     This card is stamped with the Stampin up Best Dad Ever stamp set.. I love this set!and I like the dash of red in the card.

This card is also from the PP scraps.. The Butterflies are PTI diecuts,RAK from P.I am playing along this week's PDCC#104 colors
and MyTimetoCraft-White

WeeMemoriesWMC#73-Free for all

Hope you liked the cards!

Today's Tutorial

This is the tutorial I made for my Featured blogger post in Kavitha's blog.Kanzashi flowers can be made in satin cloth, ribbon,velvet and paper too..

Take felt in 2 colors(can be done in single color too)

Cut small squares with it.. need not be perfect, you can also try with circles.. it gives a different flower :)

Fold the squares in half

Join the below two ends

Secure the folds with safety pins

After it is done for all the 8 pieces, Sew them one by one ,removing the pins

Sew together the last petal with the first one and knot it below

Fill the center with button or brad or any other embellishment. Finally, the Kanzashi flower!! Is nt it gorgeous?!!
