~~~ MY DOC-MOM ~~~

After making my mom a Mother's Day card (posted on 6th May, 12), I decided to make a Mother's Day card for my would-be mother-in-law.


As she is a doctor, I wanted to make something related to her profession and hence I came up with this.

I found the stethoscope image on the Internet and added the text on my own and created this image for the card. I color printed it on a 5x7in plain paper.

To add depth and texture to the card, I pasted the printed image on a red chart paper.

Once the red bordered image was ready, I cut out a handmade Chinese paper into an unfolded card shape that would fold into half and open vertically. I then pasted the red bordered image on the front of the card.

Finally I added white chart paper on the inside to write the message. The message reads - 'To, sweetest Aunty...You are no less than my mom to me... Lots of Love -Nishtha"

Apprehensively, I gave her the card today at dinner and she loved it... (PHEW!!!)

Status: I and my Mom-in-law are happy.

Tip: Either print the message to be written inside the card or ask someone with good handwriting  to write it for you (I wrote it myself and as you can see, its not the most beautiful handwriting)

Let me know what you think of this professional themed card.

P.S. - I gave my "MUMMY" themed card to my Mom and she loved it. So both my MOMs are happy. 

Happy Mother's Day.

The inspiration for this card came from the homonym - 'MUMMY', which mean Mother and Egyptian mummified body.
So I wanted to combine the two, make a card for my MUMMY using something of Egyptian MUMMY theme.

So, I started by cutting out an image of a girl offering a bouquet to her mom on a cardboard and covered the mom and the girl in 3mm golden quilling strips (I tried to give the effect of the way Egyptian mummies are wrapped). The bouquet was wrapped in 3mm maroon and green strips.

I then pasted the three wrapped images on a black base, which was made by covering a border-shaped cut-out cardboard with 10mm black quilling strips (again trying to replicate the Mummy effect). 

Once the image was  pasted firmly, I added colour printed writing on the side on the image - "my mommy best" (again using different kind of font to give it Egyptian look)

I then pasted the entire black cut-out with images and writing onto a black and golden handmade paper, which I cut out in the shape of a card.

Finally, I added a yellow chart paper on the inside of the card, to write the message.

Cant wait to give it to her - my MOMMY!!!!

Status: I am happy with it, I hope my Mom likes it too (this is my 1st hand made card for her) 

Tips: Definitely keep a wet hand towel with yourself or you'll get dried glue all over your project.

Let me know what you made for your MUMMY.

Its all about being safe ;-)

As I have learnt IRIS and quilling, I wanted to combine the two and make a card (I am so inspired by beautiful cards made my fellow crafters). I love funny and quirky cards and that's what I wanted to make.


In an endeavor do to so, I came up with this card idea. 

Its made of quilled sperms yelling 'ATTACK!" and raging towards IRIS condom who is protecting against 'INTRUDERS!' (I'll tell you, what occasion is the card for, later)

The sperms are made of 3mm white and grey quilling strips. I glued them together and then quilled half of the strips and curled the remaining half.

The IRIS condom is made of dark and light pink metallic paper to give it realistic look. {striped condom ;-) }

The card opens and reads: Dear Andy, In life you'll be faced with many outside intruders, I wish you protection from internal ones (at least).. Wish you and Cindy, a very happy and stress free married life..Lots of Love, Dan.

YES, its a card wishing well for married life.

Love Love Jr.B

This is my first attempt at quilling.
I made this for Jr.B for Valentine's Day.

For the card I used white crape paper. For the wordings,I used deep red 3mm quilling strip.

The origami envelope is made with Red Chinese paper. It has a small lock which keeps the envelope closed.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY Jr. B :-*
