Happy Birthday Card with a sketch

Namaste friends,
Hope you all are good and well.
I have something very beautiful to share with you all and its for birthday for a very special person.
I loved this cute colour combination.

I have used here white cardstock (local buy), pasted brown cardstock(local buy) over it and after that adhere a pattern paper from If Only by Papericious. Distressed all the edges with the Artistry ink. And then, used some laces(golden and brown), to go with the colour scheme.
After that, pasted the sketch with a stamped sentiment and decorated with some flowers.
Sentiment is from JAGS stamps.

Inside of the card, here the sentiment is from Kaisercraft.

Bought papericious paper(If Only), JAGS stamp, Kaisercraft stamp and artistry ink from the CraftAdda Store.

Linking this card to Lulupu Challenge #63

Accordion mini album

Namaste Friends,

Mini albums are the perfect way for capturing the memories and photos. So, today I come up with an accordion mini album with a sweet box, as, accordion albums give you a chance to show off your favourite photos with style and they are perfect for celebrating any occasion.

Today's project I created with the gorgeous pattern papers from Enogreeting.

This collection has such a variety of prints, that it don't required so much of embellishments. but for the box I have used die- cuts from the same pack, some flowers (local buy), stamped sentiment is from Kaisercraft and the ink I have used is Burnt Umber from Artistry Ink.

It opens up like this.

Backside of the box,

Now, the accordion mini album,

I had created the cover and the back side of the album with the chipboard which makes it sturdy, and for the inner pages I have used brown card stock (local buy). Papers were so gorgeous that minimal extra decoration is required.

For the cover page, I had used layered approach(as I am linking this entry to Peek-a-boo designs July challenge), for that,I have cut 4 squares from the same paper stock and adhere on 4 slightly bigger squares from the brown cardstock and pasted them with a foam tape on the cover page, and layered the sentiments also with a foam tape.
Sentiments are from JAGS stamps, put two wooden butterflies to embellish the page.
Inner pages of the album are,

Pages from the back side,

Bought Enogreetings Pattern paper, JAGS stamp, Kaisercraft stamp, JAGS stamp and artistry ink from the CraftAdda Store.

A Box Album-Our story

Hello, all!
Welcome to the blog.
Just wanted to share with you a little something I made recently. I made a lovely box album and I love this. It's simple yet elegant. I made it with a theme "Our story" as per my order, but it can be customized in different ways for different occasions.

For this I took Dusk and Dawn pattern paper by Papericious , Black cardstock(Local buy), and distressed it with black shadow by Artistry Distress Ink.

It opens up like this...

Embellished it with some mulberry flowers, wooden buttons, pearls, wooden die-cut, paper die-cuts. After that it turned out pretty good. some more pics...
