A memory Book

Namaste Friends!!

A Memory Book, a perfect way to cherish the memories. Today I have a designed a memory book, a gift from a daughter to her parents.

She doesn’t need a special day to say "Thank You" to her mom and dad. So, she just said "Mom and dad, I grew up cocooned in your love, comforted by your hugs and motivated by your lives… and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks for everything."

I have used Vintage Melange  paper pack from my DT kit , papers are really gorgeous.

So, here is the album

 Some close pics..

Pop up card

Namaste friends!!
Today I would like to share a pop up card with a tutorial. I have used Scintillating Mandalas paper pack from my DT kit and sentiment is from the Chalkboard Wonders. So, here is the card.

 It opens up like this

Now. enjoy the tutorial.

Tutorial

1. Take three pieces of cardstock, of sizes 20 cm x 10 cm, 26 cm X 9 cm and 30 cm x10 cm.

2. Take a first piece of card stock measuring 20 cm X 9 cm  and score this length ways at 4.5 cm.

    Make a pencil mark at 5.5 cm on all 4 sides. Score a cross joining these points.

    Then fold to form this mountain like shape.

3. Take another piece of card that measures 26 cm x 9 cm and score at 6.5 cm, 13 cm and 19.5 cm, this is the middle of your card and should look like a 'W' when folded.

4. Take another piece of cardstock measures 30 cm x 10 cm, score at 15 cm down the centre. 

5. Apply glue to one side of the pointed ends, find the centre of the outer card and line the point up just under the crease and stick down, now apply glue to the other side of the pointed end and close the card to adhere it to the outer card.

6. Now take the 'W' shaped card, find the centre of the mechanism, and place it. Now, put glue at two place as shown in pic and adhere the 'W' shaped card.

And voila!!...your card is ready to surprise someone...

Masculine Mini Album

Namaste Friends!!!
I am back with a new project, a mini album from a daughter to her father, so I have used Master and Mister paper pack from my DT kit. Album size is 6- 1/2 x 4-1/2.
"Dad, thanks for knowing exactly when to stop holding my hand and begin watching my back.You carried me in your arms when I was little and you held my hand while I was growing up. Dad, I am going to be your pillar when you are old and I will carry you in my heart until I die. Thanks for everything."
By saying these lines, let him know that you feel lucky to be his daughter. He makes sacrifices to make sure that you have a smile on your face. His life is dedicated not to his own happiness, but yours. It’s time you give back.

Hoping that you all like my project.
Happy crafting!!
Kriti.

Altered Tin can

Namaste Friends!!

Today I have recycled a tin can to turn it into an accordion album.
You can use some flowers, ribbon and papers to transform it into a cute accordian album that has 15 pages inside to add photos and journaling too.

Tutorial

1. Take the empty tin can and clean it.

 2. Cut a piece of card stock, take height 4- 1/2"  and score at every 3- 1/4" on the length side. I had made 15 pages by scoring 4 times. Round the corner and mat them.

 3. Mat the box from all the sides.

4. Take a piece of ribbon 20″ long and use a piece of Sticky Strip to secure it to the bottom of your tin, making sure that the centre of your ribbon is in the centre of your tin. Apply Sticky Strip to the bottom of the accordion album and adhere in place into the bottom of the tin…

Some final pics

Opens up like this
