Flip and Fold Mini Album

Hi friends, Thank you so much for your kind supportive words on my last blog post. Sharing a unique mini album I designed using fabulous dies from Crealies and gorgeous papers from Dress My Craft .

Octagonal Mini Album

I framed a beautiful girl [ fussy cut from the pattern paper] in a handmade frame[ made at home renovation using a silicon mold and Sakura clay] and added  handmade foam flowers atop an octagonal box which houses the mini album.

The octagonal mini album is held closed with a felt band embellished with a lacy border and a gorgeous pearl carpet!

Octagonal Mini Album

The mini is made of 9 octagons and each octagon flips over in such a way that when all the pages are opened you have a lovely  floral design!

Octagonal Flower shaped Mini Album

I was just playing around with ideas for my Crealies DT post when this design struck me and I love how it turned out. It is very easy to make and can be adapted to other shapes also.
Here is the video showing how the album unfolds and also a quick Tutorial

Decoupaged Shadow Box Desk Organiser

           Hi friends...so good to be back to blogging after a hiatus. My mind was in turmoil the last couple of days since my homeland Kerala was devastated by a series of floods and landslides due to unprecedented heavy rainfall.Thankfully things are settling down now. And I am so thankful that aid is pouring into Kerala not only from every nook and cranny of the country but from all over the world and we can start to rebuild.

Shadow Box Desk Organizer

During this particular natural disaster,while the rains battered the land mercilessly ,the ocean opened its arms to save the people . All the water from the flooded dams and rivers receded only when the oceans accepted the deluge . My project today is an altered desk organiser  made as a tribute to our oceans and a prayer  that  we learn to take better care of mother nature and all it's bounties!

Decoupaged Shadow Box Desk Organiser

I decoupaged the beautifully designed shadowbox organiser from The Element Craft Studio with papers from Graphic 45 " Under the Sea".

We all need a bit of magic in our lives to calm the mind and nourish our hearts!

Ocean themed Organiser

We all have to face life's journey into the mysteries of tomorrow...never losing hope and triumphing over our  worries and tribulations.

I hope you liked my project.

Easy Never-ending Card Tutorial

Never-ending Card

Hi friends...I love interactive cards and the Neverending card or Infinity card is an especially fun card to make . I made one long ago  for my daughter's school project on Whales and they are especially cool for school projects  and even scrapbooks as you can pack in quite a lot in a small area!

Never-ending Card

The card opens to reveal 4 faces and each face opens either vertically or horizontally and is pretty cool!This Neverending Card was put together in a jiffy as I used a new die from Crealies to make it. Annelies[ the owner of Crealies] has designed such a clever die set...all the scorelines are in place to make the never-ending card and there are dies to cut the squares and rectangles too so decorating is also super easy!

Never-ending Card

The cross design is the 3rd face and on folding back its central squares you will see another face .

Never-ending Card

On un folding you will be again be back to the front of the card!
I have a super short video to show the card in action and a Tutorial too.
