gift wrap

Hi friends!
I haven't been doing much these...did some gift wraps for the lessology challenge-its  wrap!
they are celebrating their first anniversary this month...so here is my entry o the challenge...tried to make it a little x-massy..

To make this wrap...all this stuff was up cycled...paper from some old magazine ....a mobile box..the wild flowers and stems I told you I had gathered...etc

hope you like the idea

This used to be...a book

This used to be, a book
Hi friends!!
Here I am with my latest project especially made for lulupu challenge...This used to be!! A BOOK! 

Book-birdhouse

Well some of you may frown as to why did I do this to a book!!
Well actually this is my 15 year old book and I found it out a few days back in the in the huge pile of papers..all dusty ..I quickly picked it up and dusted it...but when I opened up the book...what I saw were holes!!! Yes..moths had eaten up the pages...some of them to the extent that I had to get rid of them!!...so when the  bookwas somewhat in manageable condition...
I decided to make a book birdhouse...There are a number if tutorials on the internet you can find out for yourself...
But to make life little easier..I decided to put up one here myself in case you would want to know!!
how to make:

step1: fold the first page of the book in half vertically ...
step2: Now fold the corner of this page into a triangle...
Step 3: turn over to the next page... And fold this page into a triangle from the bottom right corner

Step 4: fold the top part of the page into a triangle overlapping the bottom triangle  a little bit

Step 5: now repeat the step1 and 2 for the next page

Step 6: repeat the step 3 and 4 for the next page

Step 7:Keep on alternating between step 5 and step 6

Step 8: glue the pages

Book-Birdhouse

Note:

• A 200 page book is enough to give you a flat birdhouse
• If you wish you can use 2 flat birdhouses and attach them back to back to give a circular birdhouse...The above tutorial gives a bird house like mine with slanting slopes..

Hope this tutorial helps!!

Hi
This is the second card in white on white...wedding or anniversary card...I seem to be hooked on to this theme ;)...white on white is such an elegant combination!! Isn't it??
Well here is my card

I have used organza ribbon for the bow and a button for its centre...the hanging beads again are acrylic painted ...the flower is handmade ...I thought of using a punch for it but later decided to go for handout petals...it gave the flower a wild look and so natural... Used a brad as its center....made some flourish myself using flat back pearls..
The sentiment now!!!! This sentiment is from the price I won in the last challenge at BGC sponsored by lulupu craft lounge. this is a rub on!!  My first time at using a rub on!! I was a but anxious before but I get I managed to get it alright.. Thanks to both of you!!!

White on White- Wedding Card

Hi friends!!
I have not been keeping well these days so my posts are rather irregular... Somehow I managed to make a few cards... All pain is bearable when I sit to craft :)
Here is a white on white card I made yesterday

white on white-wedding card

The beads weren't white originally...I acrylic painted them...and then dabbed on acrylic paint with a paint brush to give that added texture...the sentiment is computer generated...
The flowers are made of parchment paper and then acrylic painted...I have used the beautiful embossed cards that Priya gave me...she has a wonderful collection of these you can order...do check them out..I have done a lot of layering and punched out borders from fiskars sunburst punch...used pearls and Brads as added embellishments from A1 craft supply ..the bow is made of locally bought net ribbon...and I love the way it has turned out!!

flowers using circle punch and a card

Hii
This time I have made a card and all flowers you see used in here is from scraps...tiny pieces of paper. I have made a circle punch flower in here too...and it is for that I created this card!! I had made these flowers in such light colours that it was really not an easy task for me to make a card! I am still trying to figure out the technique of card making...which colours go well together..which how to layer. What will look good and what won't!!! Pheww!!!
This card I made today is the first of its kind...by me of course;)!
I really like the way it turned out although Ian not very sure I decorated it right...I will really appreciate if you can tell me whether the embellishment is fine or not...is it too much?? Are the colours I have used going with each...or not...
Here are the pics...
 

there is the butterfly charm...an old ear ring;)

altered wall unit...

Hi...
Here I am again!
 I have been doing all my crafting and altering stuff since a few days and never got time to take the pics n update...well today I am free n so here is my second post for the day..:-)
This is a small wall unit cabinet sort of thing which belongs to my late maternal grandpa...my mom was so happy to find it out an when I altered it and presented it to her she was like "Wow!!!"...  mom's are partial to their kids ;)
Okk...I’m glad she liked it :)...
hope you like it too..

I have recycled some things ...in fact up cycled!!
Guess what???

It’s the thin twigs you see all over and the tiny  dried brown flowers... 
Actually the twigs are from the oak tree ( I have applied some enamel paint on them) and the flowers are the wild white flowers with yellow centers...you must have seen growing with grass!!! I had the stems from a long long time so I thought why not use them today…

Here are the pics... sorry for the poor quality of pics...had to use phone camera...
