Hi Peeps,

          Missing blog land!:) Some of you have inquired about my absence. Thanks to all those who miss me. This means a lot to me! Lot more than you could imagine! :)

        Now back in form, there are a few updates from me... Hey wait.. not now.. I will tell u one by one soon  :)Suspense .shhhhh.

Ok here comes our Hands to heart November Challenge- Ring the bells.I chose red and green color as it is Christmas theme and some glitter strips and bling. The bell shape is hand cut and the papers are Papermania

The second card is Gate fold, with the bell attached to left gate and the sentiment to right.Added poinsettia,star, snowflakes, bell - all Christmassy things :)The die used here is Nellie Snellen.

A close up at the bell- 3d .Will post a tutorial on it.

100 th Post and OSW free template!!

hello there,

               I am really happy to let you know that I have reached a little milestone(is it really?!).Yes,this is my 100th post and  I thank each and every soul that supported,encouraged and helped me in achieving this!So, do we have a reason to celebrate?! Yes or No.. but I am giving u all a freebie with this post! Got your attention?!!Keep reading.. :)

         Now , you ask me what this that..?It is a template!!I am introducing you to an age old technique called One Sheet Wonder.When I mean age old, I mean it, as they were popular, even before the introduction of pattern paper.Yes..when there were only rubber stamps.!!

   This technique allows you to create 8-10 different cards in a short period of time by designing one sheet of paper and cutting it into different sized shapes to use on your solid base cards

   I wanted more Christmas cards for my exhibition and I did not want to spend more on it as I cannot use it till next Christmas, if not sold. Also I was running short of time.. So this technique came as my savior. I saw some templates from splitcoaststampers and I designed on my own.It was easy and I created 9 A6 cards out of it!.Here is my template.. Just download and print it on the back of ur PP/stamped paper and feel free to use it.. But please give the due credits..

(Sorry abt the lines being so light)
     To make it easier, I did not stamp the background, but used a designer paper with Christmas colors(origin not known).I cut along the markings and since I knew the layout of the cards and what will go into each card, it was a lot easier for me.. It took me 3 hrs to finish these cards, without a paper trimmer...:))
I had bought some Christmas stickers and used it here.. so that made sure there were images too!

         Here are the cards for you to watch and enjoy!Just Co-ordinate the card nos with the numbers in the template.
