A three layer Explosion Box

Hi Friends,

Yet another explosion box made for two lovers... the client wanted a blank box with lots of space for photos and messages... hence made it 3-layered...
The explosion box has a box inside that can hold small gifts...

The bottom layers flaps: 2 gatefold flaps & 2 half pockets with oval tags

The middle layer flaps: 4 Full pockets with Slide out tags

 The top layer flaps: each flap with Accordion pockets that hold 3 slide out tags & the an oval tag on the top of the accordion pockets.

The center gift box

Everytime I make an Explosion box my love for it increases....

Love Gopi

Boxed Album

Hi Friends,
These days scrapbooking is so in... personalise gifting is another trend people are opting for...
My this new project is a combination of both. A personalise Scrapbook.
A very good added feature to this Scrapbook is, its a boxed Scrapbook... Lets have a look...

The box is made out of chipboard. The 'XOXO' on the top of the box is cut using my priceless possession 'Silhouette Cameo 2'. (Though the cut file is not mine but taken from the internet). Few XOXO are highlighted with the different pattern papers used inside the album. Flowers used are ready mulberry flowers & foam flowers with satin leaves. The edges are finished with adhesive rhinestones.

Let's check the inside...

When opened, the sides of the box fall off. There are 6 pages bind to the each sides. The inside of the lid is used to keep the tags. These can be used to write messages...

Every page has a sliding photo mat within it. 

The complete look... This album holds 44 photographs & 12 tags.

The center pages...

The tags on the center pages....

The roses and leaves are stamped (using distress inks) separately and die cut using coordinating dies.  

The inside of the box base too has similar tags...

The ribbon to hold the tags in place is made using MS border punch and pattern paper scraps...

All the tags are die cuts...

This project is inspired from the similar projects from fellow crafters... thanks to all of them!!!

Welcome Your Princess

Wow!!!  I made it to the top 3 of January Challenge on Bling It On Challenges through this project. The challenge topic was New Beginnings.

Hey folks!! Wish you all a very Happy, Prosperous & Creative New Year!!!
Hope you all had fun with you friends and families on New Year.

Its been really long, I have post anything on the blog. Completely lost track of the events, as life became too hectic suddenly.... Even the New Year wishes are after almost a month.... But i believe in 'Better Late Than Never'!!!

So lets begin the new year with a project i love the most...

Diaper Castle for your lovely little Princess!!!

The Castle is made out of 40-45 diapers. Out of these diapers around 35 can be used for its actual purpose.

The Castle can be personalised with the baby's Name tag and photograph.

It can also be highlighted using the baby accessories like hair clips, hair bands, necklaces and earrings.

It gives me immense pleasure, whenever i create this piece of art. This same castle can be made with blue shades for your lovely little Prince.

Entering this project for the following challenges:
1. CraftyJC Challenge #13 – Something New (for New Baby)
2. Bling It On Challenges - New Beginnings

I hope you guys like it... Please leave a comment.. :) Its such a fun reading all the comments..
Love!!!

Husking Butterfly Frame

Husking is a quilling technique. It is made by shaping paper strips around a series of upright straight pins. This is my most favorite quilling techniques...

This creation is a classy piece of husking technique.

The flowers and the butterfly are made using husking and leaves are the usual quilled twisted marquies.
As the background paper came out to be dull once the frame was completed, it is highlighted with tiny emblishments...

Wooden Photo Frame

This piece of creation is a wooden sliding photo frame with a quilled centre piece.... This was on display at my exhibition this year....

A closer view...

The flowers are known as Malasiyan Flowers with hand fringed flowers. i have used 3mm stripes for the main flower and leaves and 5mm stripes for the fringed flowers and flower centres.

Welcome... to my blog and my world of creations...

This is my advance quilling frame, can be used as a House warming gift, Name plate or just a nice wall frame for kids room. Customization is possible like in this frame name "USHA" is used to personalize for gifting.

I'm submitting my this creation for "first-anniversary-challenge-by-piyu" at Take a Quill Pill blog.
This creation fulfills all the challenge requirments

1) The project should have fringing technique  - The Teddy Bear & Flowers

2) There should be some tight coils used - center piece of all the flowers

3) Use more than 5 colors. - it has more than 5 colors... ;-)
