Cute Mini Album

Hi,
 My today's vlog & bog is a mini album making. I decided to make this for my friend who carries pictures of her kids all the time inside her bag. This mini Album will fit inside a medium-sized purse. This album has got some pockets also for journaling or for keeping some photo tags . The total making time is less than one hour.

 I used one sheet scrapbook paper 12 by 12 inches to make the album, some cut pieces were used to decorate the album. I added a belly band also for the album.

Album scheme is given below

Score the paper at 3  1/4, 3  1/2, 6  3/4, 7, 10  1/4  & 10  3/4 inches on oneside

Rotate the paper 90 degrees And score at 4 & 8 inches

Watercoloring & freezer paper masking to make a Valentine's day card

Hi,
My vlog & blog for today is a watercolour card that I made using a masking technique. I did not use artist masking fluid, but I used something from the kitchen. Freezer paper is the masking medium today. It was not an artist or craft supply. It is used to wrap and keep meat in a refrigerator ( fridge ). One side of the paper is coated with plastic like substance. Place the shiny plastic coated surface facing the watercolour paper. Then heat is applied using an iron box. The plastic coating on the freezer paper starts to melt and it gets adhered to the watercolour paper. That's how it works. Now its time to paint watercolour the paper.
I used 3 patterns for painting. All the three patterns are cut using Cricut electronic cutter.
once the painting is dried complete, remove the freezer paper to reveal the masked pattern.

Supplies used are
Strathmore watercolour paper
Sakura Koi watercolour 24 set paint
Royal & Langnickel Zen round brush no 14
reynolds freezer paper

Watercolor & doodling a bunch of rose Valentines day card

Hi,
My yesterday's vlog was a doodled and watercoloured card. I have didn't have any intention of making a card, however, the watercoloring that I did on Saturday turned out to be awesome I guess. So I added some more dimension by doodling something on that. I was watercoloring some polka dots in Quinacridone rose colour> it turned out to be good. So I added some leaves using a mix of 2part  Permanent green & 1 part Viridian Green Hue. Then I doodled some easy petals with the help os some waterproof black pen.
That was good to see hmm. I cut the painting into 2 parts and then joined them using a printed vellum sheet.

This is what it looks like 

How pretty N cute, right?

Kuppel box / Dome shaped gift box

Hi,
I happened to see a video on youtube recently, a wonderful crafter making a dome-shaped gift box. I couldn't understand her language, but there was subtitle & the video was self-explanatory too. She used some tool called gift bag punch board or something like that to make that. I do not own such punch board, so I made the gift completely on my own. This gift box is very cute and elegant too.

this top of the box look at little dome-shaped.This is really easy to make. I don't think we require a specific tool to make this.

Watch the video for the tutorials

Supplies used are
Scrapbook paper
Double sided tape
Hemp cord/ ribbon
Scoring board
Hole punch
