THE ARTY DESK ORGANISER – LOVING LIFE


The Great Sai Baba, who I revere, once said –
“Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is love - enjoy it.”
And to love the small elements of life, I am presenting today an ARTY DESK ORANIZER…

Imagine your husband’s work desk… Messed up papers and files. Pens and things scattered around…taking him endless hours to rearrange… Don’t you wish to make it more organized. That too with something which reflects your character and represents your love. Something which makes him remember you all the time – even when he is deeply engrossed with work routine, meeting clients and attending to calls. Yes this Desk Organizer can do just that.

Made from MDF board, this arty desk organizer is ornate with one of my most liked collection of pattern papers – “Infinity” collection from Papericious. Papericious is changing the way I do my crafting. With designs and colors to titillate that crafty bones, this latest collection is just awesome. The vintage look of the patterns make the product stand out. Besides the pattern paper, use of Papericious theme buttons and die cuts embellishments add that modern flavor to the vintage look of the organizer.

Besides the latest collection of Papericious, the desk organizer is beautified with lovely quotes of ‘life’, floral die-cuts, trinkets, distressed and glass glitter effect and use of diamond dust.










I am sure your crafty bones will also get tinkled on seeing this presentation. So go ahead and create YOUR REFLECTION on your loved one’s work desk.

Do let me know how you liked it and do feel free to ask any query on this creation.

Have a wonderful weekend

Mini Album using Dusk and Dawn

Hello, lovely people,
This is Hussena here and I have a very fun and beautiful mini album to share with you all which I have made using the Papericious Dusk and Dawn collection. I also have a tutorial on how to make it, so sit back, relax as you scroll through this picture heavy post!

I'm starting with few pictures of the album cover and the insides on how I have embellished this album using the Dawn and Dusk collection as well as die-cuts from the previously released Golden Garden and Vintage Attire Embellishment Sheets. You will find a few paper pieced flowers from the Papericious Grey Bloom collection as well!
 
A look at how it looks all opened up :









TUTORIAL 

 Step 1- Take a piece of chipboard and cut it up into the following measurements :
11cms X 5 cm, 11cm X 6.5 cm, 11cm X 8 cm, 11 cm X 3.6 cm, and last 11 cm X 3 cm.

(These measurements are given in centimetre only, but if you want it in inches, then you can Google convert it.)

Step 2- Take a piece of pattern paper. I have used the Dawn and Dusk collection and cut it into 30 cm X 14 cm. This will form the cover of your album.
Now, please your chipboards on this pattern paper as shown below, keeping a 0.5 cm gap between each chipboard.

 Step 3- Now, take another piece of coordinating pattern paper measuring approximately 28cm X 12cm and stick it in the inside as shown below. Score in between the chipboard pieces to create creases on the pattern paper so that it folds easily.
After you have glued both the pattern papers to your chipboard pieces, fold it up. it should look like the picture below. 

Step 4- Add strips of Magnetic tape measuring approximately 3cm X 9 cm on the two flaps of the album so that it can be closed.

Step 5- Now to create the inside pages, take pattern papers measuring 16.5 cm X 10 cm. Score it n half and keep a 0.5 cm gap in the centre of your score. Your score lines should be 8cm/0.5cm/8 cm.
Stick these pages in the opposite direction creating a zig zag fold like you do in an accordian fold.  You will approximately need 6 of these papers.
Now, the base of your album is all ready. you can go ahead and embellish it in any style you want. i really had a lot of fun using only Papericious products to create the insides of this album. :)

I hope you liked my today's post and you find the tutorial useful. Please leave your comments/suggestions on how you liked my project. Would love to hear from you!
Have a nice day everyone!

These are our earlier releases and have some of the most beautiful papers in the collections. When I saw the Vintage Rosewood papers, it was love at first sight. It has the most gorgeous woodgrain background along with vintage flowers. I had so much fun creating with these papers.

Mixed Media Fridge Magnets using the 'Dusk and Dawn' Collection

Hello Everyone!!

I'm Manu here and i'm back with another gorgeous range from Papericious!!  It's the "Dusk and Dawn" collection and this is one collection loved by everyone who adores the purple hues!!  The purples in this stack are something to look forward to!! 
Here's what I made with them, Fridge Magnets!!!! I know, I'm kind of very biased for making a lot of these, but then the Fridge magnets is something which I truly love!!! The sight of an empty fridge makes me sad and I have lots and lots of them stuck up on my fridge (Much to the dismay of my husband and the delight of my little one, who loves standing on her toes to get hold of them) I even have wooden numerals meant for my little one, converted into magnets, by placing magnets behind and they happily now sits there and is something which I keep reciting to my young one whenever we pass from there!!! So much so for my love for magnets!!



I have a little tutorial on how to make these as well, so you can sit back, relax and checkout on how I made these mixed media fridge magnets!

I took a sturdy cardboard and wrapped one of the all purple pattern paper from the 'Dusk and Dawn' collection. 


While making this one, I thought about if would be nice if I make one more (so much obsessed!) So I did the same with another sturdy cardboard and painted them complete with Gesso!! I mixed in a little water so that I have some color peeping from beneath! 



Once the Gesso was dry, I used the stencils to give them a little texture! Have used a brick stencil and a damask on the other one!

Once the base was dry, I used Lindy's starburst to give colors!!! I used lindy's on one of the magnet and acrylic color (yellow, orange) on the other one! 

Once I was happy with the way my magnets looked with the colouring, I went ahead and arranged my embellies on both and once I was satisfied, I stuck them on!!

Here's the final and closer looks!
Here are both the magnets again for you to check out!!! I like the bright yellow look the right side one has!!


Remember the circular Sheets?? I used the circular embellishment from it and used Modge Podge 3D To make it 3- Dimensional !


The blank white space is for pictures!!! Checkout the gorgeous beads there. These too are stuck with glossy accents and they look fab on the projects!


I hope you liked the magnets I made and do come back for some more DT Inspiration!!

Happy Crafting!

TAG YOUR EMOTIONS

Hi Friends

Today I present to you my latest creation called “Tag Your Emotions”. It is a multi fold tag which can be attached to any gift to heighten the effect of the gift.

The top of the tag has a heart shaped cutout and a flower, imbibing the spirit of the gift – sharing of your emotions and love for the receiver. I have used Papericious pattern paper -Vintage Rosewood, given a torn effect and highlighted it with use of distress and raised embossing effect. The Papericious pattern papers’ colors and patterns are so unique that these can be used so efficiently is such display of your deepest emotions. The complete collection - florals, patterns, polka dots et. all. is just lovely.




 The Tag can be opened on both sides and have space for your personal notes to the person to whom you are giving the gift. You can also paste a few photographs representing your memoirs with the receiver. Use of lovely Paperi
cious stack alongwith laces, die-cuts of corners, barn fencing, metal trinkets etc., make the booklet unique in design and exquisite in look.





So let the New year 2016 be the beginning of a special relation. Use such design to tag with your New Year Gift and pour out your emotions to that cherished person in your life. 

I hope you all will like my work.
Have A Nice Day!!!

Embellishments with Vintage Rosewood!

I (yes it's me again, Halak) was super thrilled when given the opportunity to work with the Vintage Rosewood paper stack.

Had been staring at the papers for an entire week, (my parents thought I'd gone nuts) not because I didn't know what to do with them, but simply because all the designs are oh-so-gorgeous... inlaid with a whole lot of roses and woodgrain texture print, so how best to capture that?

I'm sure you must have seen the stunning scrapbooks and album projects that my fellow Papericious DT members made.

So, I went ahead and created something that would perfectly compliment scrapbooks, albums and cards!

Yeah... I made embellishments!
Using the gorgeously classy paper sheets from Vintage Rosewood paper stack with some stamps, ink, glitter, beads, rhinestones, ribbon, washi tape, stencils etc. I made an assortment of embellishments that would go with a whole bunch of varied projects! (I even fussy cut! Gasp! Yes, it's true!)

Let me tell you, Papericious paper takes ink really well. I have directly stamped onto the paper for my project. It is also great for stenciling and ink blending! I even went ahead and directly colored a stamped image using Sakura Pens. (Yeah... how cool is that!) ^__^

Here are some fun close-ups, check these out!  

I made tag, decorated quotes and messages, a paper tile! (The one in the shape of a flower, using Papericious paper, some pearls and glossy accents), a fussy cut bead decorated feather and added a bit of color to a stamped image!

Really guys, the options are endless! I just made simple shapes for the benefit of those who don't have any crazy fancy tools, but image the quantity you can make when you combine these ideas with die-cut shapes! Or just directly die-cut these!

Go ahead, make custom embellishments for your scrapbooks from the same paper out of which you create the scrapbooks. No other embellishment will co-ordinate like it and you definitely will have a whole lotta fun in the process! ^__^

I hope you enjoyed looking at these and it inspired to make something new today!

Till next time! *Hugs*
