Simple Christmas Cards

Hello Friends :) Today there was Diwali Celebration at my Office. We all went in Ethnic wear and enjoyed the programs. Had a great day:) And here are some simple Christmas cards which I made this week.

The base and the violet layer is from Fabriano cardstock. I used slightly embossed violet layer for the card which is on the left side and Plain violet layer for the card on the right side. And then glitters for the wishes and just used punched stars and snowflakes. Do leave me a comment if you like it. Happy Weekend. Thanks for visiting :)

My First Easel Card

Hello Friends :) Here is my first easel card and also it is the first Christmas card I made for this year. Recently I got two Cosy Christmas design paper pack of Forever Friends Hallmark cards. The Snowflakes design paper used in this card is from that pack. I have lot of items in my To do list for Christmas. This Easel card is the first one.

I have used silver and golden colour handmade papers for Christmas Tree and glittered the borders and have used gems, punched borders, bow on the base to make the card stand.

This weeks's scripture at SSIC is "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."  And the challenge is Sharing : use 2 of everything you use.  Among all of the materials used in my card ribbons, glitters, handmade paper, design paper and gems are used twice. 

I have got the feel of Christmas this time much earlier than I used to have. I am so delighted and more enthusiastic than ever. Very eagerly awaiting for the Christmas month.

Diwali Card

Hello Everyone :) Here is one more Diwali card. I have used the same colour combination which I had used for the previous diwali cards. I felt  this colour would be very apt for this festival so I used the same colour for all Diwali cards.

I had cut the picture of  Lord Ganesha from a Wedding Invitation and used punches for the stars. Hope you like it. Do post your views. It means a lot to me. Thanks for visiting :)

I am with you always - Matthew 28:20

Hi Friends :) Weekend is nearing :) Just one more day. With that joy I am here with a bible scripture card. I came across a wonderful inspiring blog "Each Card Tells A Story" and a fellowship challenge blog "Stamping Sisters in Christ" this week. . I really got enthused and moved  by the Fellowship blog. I loved the challenge blog so much that each challenge is based on a scripture from Bible. A bible scripture with either a testimony or an inspiring message or a beautiful poem is posted along with the challenge every Sunday. 

This week the scripture posted was Isiah 40:31  "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with winds like eagles. Isaiah 40:31." along with a lovely  poem . The Challenge was to make a card with wings and a bible scripture. 

The bible verse in my card is from Matthew 28:20 "Be sure of this , I am with you always". This is the most comforting verse for me whenever I feel dejected or lonely. This beautiful poem is written by Ken Pilcher. I found this poem from a Christian Website "Faith Club" where you can find lot of inspiring poems with bible scriptures, gospel songs etc. When I saw the challenge that we have to use wings, immediately this poem and verse came to mind.

Since the Challenge rule was to use wings in the project I have used image of holy spirit, protecting wings poem  and butterfly pattern paper. Apart from those I have used pink colour cardstock, pearls, lace and pink satin ribbon. I would like to hear your voices about the card. Visit the challenge blog to read the lovely poem. Do join their fellowship and be blessed.

Simple Gift Box

Hi.. Today I have come up with a Gift Box. I finished doing this last weekend. But now only got time to post.

I used to treasure all the gift wrappers and boxes which I get. Usually I remove the gift wrappers very carefully while opening the gifts and preserve them. I have collected nearly hundred papers. So I desired to start making Gift boxes. I started with an easy and simple one. I found this simple template of the box from Splendiferous Creations by Lisa.

I have used Red colour card stock. Bottom is pain red card. For the lid I have used red colour card stock, red rose gift wrapper, red colour satin ribbons. I have pasted red rose gift wrapper on the  red card stock which  I have used as the lid.
