So presenting Bloom Chimes:

Here is the Step by Step Tutorial for making Bloom Chimes:-

Step 1 - I have taken a 3” by 5” piece and drawn the petal shape for the Hot Air Balloon.

Step 2 - Cut the first shape and than trace and make 6 more such petals. We will need 7 such petals to make Hot Air Balloons.

Step 3 - When petals are ready fold them into half such that design part is on the inside.

Step 4 - Now we will start sticking the petals one by one, keep petal adjacent on the plain part and stick one at a time.

Step 5 - When you are about to stick last petal insert a thread/rope of your choice, keep some over the top for hanging and approx 15” on the down to hang picture and embellishments.

Step 6 - After inserting the rope, stick the last petal from both the sides and our hot air balloon is ready.

Step 7 - Now cut out two pieces  3” by 5” paper from the paper pack and stick them back on back approximately 5” down from the Hot Air Balloon.

Step 8 - Lastly, I have stuck fussy cut roses from the paper pack at the end and it was approximately 5” down from the photo space.Cut off the excess thread and our Bloom Chimes is all set to be hanged with your favorite photos.

I am an engineer with 6 years of work experience in an MNC, before I quit my job and settled in my hometown. Now, I am a stay at home mom of two lovely girls and totally passionate about crafting and scrapbooking. I love to document the stories of my life with paper, photos and all the colourful things in the most creative way. I have a page called "Scrapping Moments by Priti" on Facebook.

I started crafting in 2016 after the birth of my second daughter. She is like my lucky charm as the hunt for a good scrapbook for her made me discover the joy of crafting and creating. I love to make 12x12 scrapbook layouts with different techniques, some of my favourites being layering pretty paper, fussy cutting and mixed media. I always look forward to experiment and use different mediums and products on my pages. I also enjoy making cards, mini albums, customized scrapbooks and other paper crafts.

For me, crafting is a creative outlet for self care, reflection and expression which always makes my heart happy and content. 

I am a B.Com graduate girl who turned into a full time crafter. My style of crafting is scrapbooking. I love to make cute scrapbooks for my customer being for any occasion. although I am a scrapbooker I also love to try my hands on Mixed Media and Decoupage.

I'm a freelance artist, working for different brands and an entrepreneur. I sell my handmade projects under a small brand that I own - Paper Charms. I specialize in mixed media and paper crafting. I absolutely love doing mixed media work. I love altering objects using this craft form. Crafting is not just any hobby for me, it has become my way of life. It soothes my soul and makes me happy. I love sharing my creations with the world.

We prefer handmade cards over purchased gifts. We basically make cards, canvases, scrapbooks, explosion boxes. All of them are handmade by us.  To make these cards more exciting, we improvise a lot in terms of creativity. 

Swati is a creator of great skill in the manual arts. Her tidiness, fascination for the craft, and way of presentation excels her work. She has a creative mind, and is also an event planner. Already being this fine in crafting, her keen interest to learn more makes her outshine in all arenas.

I did my Masters Degree in Geography and worked for almost 15 years as a teacher in different reputed schools in Kolkata and Howrah, before I took up crafting as a full time career and being a stay at home mom with my son. I always had a keen interest for art and craft from childhood. I am constantly trying out new ways to upcycle things. So, I decided to invest my time to start my own venture in crafting business after leaving my school job on 2016.
Papers always attract me in some way or the other and that is the main reason to love paper crafting most and to turn any product into useful home decor through decoupage, scrapbook layout, memento or mixed media! I do take orders for handmade home decors and gift items and spend free hours by taking up decoupage & mixed media workshops in different places in Kolkata & Howrah.
I take inspirations from nature and industries and those reflect on my work too but whatever project I do, I put my soul into it and they are very close to my heart.
