My passion for Cross Stitched cards never ending!!

After a very long time I am back,with a new cross stitch card.
I learned many art and craft while I was in US but my love for cross stitching seems never ending.
I love making handcrafted cards with these cross stitched pieces,it gives a more personalized touch to the card.

I made these colourful balloons using DMC floss on 14 count Adia fabric.I then turned it into a amazing birthday greeting card,just use your creativity which will take it to next level of craftiness.

Handcrafted Tags!

I would like to share the pics of some handmade gift tags.
I made those on the occasion of my son's birthday.
It is made with some simple tools like one hole punch,stamps and some card stock.





                                           

Slider Greeting Card....

October is the beginning of different festivals around the globe. Here in India its time for Dussehra,when Lord Rama killed ten headed demon king Ravana.
Dussehra is followed by another auspicious festival Diwali,festival of lights or diyas.

And I think same is in US,where Halloween is around the corner,then Thanksgiving and then at the last but not the least Christmas.

Keeping in mind all these celebrations,I am trying my hands making various kinds of greeting cards.
Cards making is really fun thing to do and share with your loved ones!
And they never go out of fashion because birthdays are incomplete without a Birthday Card.

So to spice up a bit I tried making a slider card.

Here it is-

Completely New Horizon! ORIGAMI

I would like to share pictures of my new craft-paper origami.
I have made this amazing Wedding Attire,it comprises of groom's tuxedo and bride's gown.
I have used glaze paper to make the tuxedo and wrapping paper for the gown.
And then turned it into a wonderful greeting card....Handmade cards are always appealing!
At last let your imagination run and embellish with variety of sweet treasures like buttons,satin ribbons,rhinestone etc.

Cereal box minion cum Card Holder!

This is a new addition to my thrifty art.
I used a empty cereal box(cornflakes) to make a colorful minion.
This box was sitting beside my dustbin for day or two when i got an idea. So its really best out of waste.
It can be used as a greeting card holder or any kind of light weight document or envelope.
I used acrylic paint for bright colors.
Jar lids has been used for making big,bulging eyes.
I have also glued a piece of cardboard at the bottom to give it an extra strength.
Hope everybody enjoyed making of a minion!

New Thermocol Painting- Pooh with a balloon.

This is a watercolor painting on a thermocol sheet!

Charming kid's banner

I painted this cute little airplane and attached a flyer with it.And the name goes on the flyer with tiny clouds peeping out here and there.

Isn't it wonderful !

Colorful Creation -recycled pen stand!

As I told earlier that I have been searching every nook and corner of my house for trash. Trash that can be used for something better rather than discarding.

So I found this chewed up sippy cup which I turned into a pen stand.
My son who is two and half years old and has mouth full of teeth loves chewing up silicone spouts,so i always prefer hard ones.

In order to make this vibrant pen stand-
 I started wrapping some colorful floss around it as i was doing cross stitching lately ,so have ample floss stock.
And yes I used some adhesive to stick the floss to the cup.And then i painted the top and the bottom of the sipper.It is pretty easy and forgiving craft.

So go for it !

Glass Bottle Painting.

For last few months I am focusing on recycling art. So this time I painted a glass bottle with bright acrylic paint.

This is my first time using acrylic on glass,so I have drawn a simple floral design. Hope you all like it.
It can be used as a flower vase.



                                         

One more Thermocol painting...

My son is a hot air balloon fan since he saw Barefoot rhyme,"UP",when he was just 1.5 years old.
So his love for hot air balloons inspired me to make this amazing piece as well easy to make thermocol painting.

I painted the thermocol piece with blue and white watercolor which resembled wide open sky.
Then I made some hot air balloons and clouds out of cardboard and painted them.
Eventually glued them all.

Isn't it a wonderful idea!

Acrylic Painting.

I did this wonderful Sunny acrylic painting on a rainy day!
Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
I wanna grow up once again...(3 Idiots)

Thermocol painting

I got this thermocol sheet as a packaging material when we bought a laptop desk.

So,I painted this charming CAT with watercolor paint on it.

I used dress hanger for hanging the craft.

It really intensified my kid's room's mischievousness. And whenever my son sees it says KAAAT!!!

I love it

Cardboard ArT...

After a time long I am blogging as I was little busy with relocation.
I would like to share my cardboard art.
It is completely made out of scraps mainly packing boxes.
It is very simple to make,very colourful and can add new look to your kids room.
I have drawn picture of a toy car and engine(as kids love train/cars.buses) and painted them with watercolors and glued it to a box.

I am great fan of Lizzie Kate cross stitch patterns. So when I came across this wonderful yet simple pattern,couldn't stop myself from stitching.Little modification has been made accordingly but no element added or subtracted as such.
Have a look!!
