I made a small pocket Mini Album with lots of big n small Tags and Photo pages. It's measure 4x4" and used the PP scraps for tags which I got after pasting my PPs for photo space. Here is the cover of that Album..

I used 8x8" scalloped paper and cut it in half. Then I again half fold that half piece and glued the scalloped ages. As I want to make it different so used only one ring binder instead of 2. Embellished with half pearls, stamped n fussy cut butterfly and some flowers.

Now...see inside pages for pasting pics and Tags for writing..

and finally the close up pic...

Hope you like my project and don't forget to participate in our Current Challenge

P.S. I really like this super quick method of making tiny minis from 8x8" papers so I made so many mini albums repeatedly... ;)

Thanks a lot for stopping by.. See you.. :)

Happy Crafting

CSCC #13, Anything Goes..

Hi guys! Nandini here, with a little inspiration for our current challenge CSCC #13 - Anything Goes.I am sure you have been enjoying the beautiful projects that my fellow Catchy Girls have been presenting!

I have always been fascinated by the art of Origami. It is amazing how much one can do with a single sheet of paper! I also love the practical aspect of Origami. So I made some gift bags & boxes, which are perfect for holding small treats, knickknacks etc.

My first project is a gift bag. I had seen these adorable bags on Etsy a long time ago. And finally found the tutorial a few days ago (thank God for Pinterest!!). You can check it out here.

I used a square measuring 12 x 12 inches of some pattern paper to fold the bag.

I added a doily dyed with orange ink and layered a vellum circle on top. The word 'Happy' is heat embossed in black. The word 'Birthday' is die cut out of a scrap of green handmade paper.

The second bag is smaller, made of 10 x 10 inches square in dark red card stock.

I started by heat embossing the little flower ring from an Itsy Bitsy stamp set onto the red paper.

After I had folded the bag, I a large origami bow with a very thin, handmade paper. The tutorial for that is from Paper Kawai.

Here are both the bags, together.

I must warn you that origami can be quite addictive! I also ended up making a lovely hexagonal box as well. The tutorial is again from Paper Kawai.

This box is made from two sheets of A4 size computer paper.

Isn't that lid gorgeous!

And here are my three origami projects!

I hope you found my post inspiring enough to start on your own, lovely projects!

CSCC #11 - 'LOVE SHAKE'r Cards

Hi! Nandini here, with my take on the current challenge

"LOVE SHAKEr Cards"

I love shaker cards because they are super fun, with so many possibilities. Both kids and adults love them and they are oh-so trendy right now!

I was so excited that my very first DT post was going to be a shaker card that I ended up making not 1 or 2, but 3 cards! So lets get down to them right away!

I decided to break out my stash of pattern papers which I have been hoarding forever. The stamp set is Bold Wishes from CAS-ual Fridays. I heat embossed it with Mint Green & Red Glitz EPs from Ranger and Wow respectively. The heart and circle dies are from Couture Creations. I mounted the whole thing on a piece of fun foam.

The next card was inspired by a great tutorial on non-bulky shaker cards by the fabulous Jennifer Mcguire. You can check it out here.

I have put together few pics that show the steps in making this card.

All the Couture Creations dies that I used with the die cuts.

Almost there! Notice that I have not used any foam between the acetate layers. This kept my card flat while still retaining the charm of a shaker card.

The stamp is from A Tree for All Seasons by Winnie & Walter, embossed with Red Glitz EP by Wow!.

For the third card, I went back to my old love, sewing.

Here are the various elements that I put together to make this card.

The pattern paper is a free download that I had printed out ages ago. I stamped the sentiment from the set Wonderful Words by CAS-ual Fridays in Versamark on the vellum. Then heat embossed with Magenta Twinkle and Mint Green by EPs by Wow! and Ranger respectively. I used a zig zag stitch to make a pocket for the sequins and little hearts that I punched out. A small length of pink velvet ribbon and a doily from my stash completed the card.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your supplies and get creating. We, the Catchy Girls, are waiting to see your gorgeous creations! You can enter your cards HERE.
