Eye Catchy Projects-Guest DT post by Karthikha Uday

Hello Crafty Folks,

I'm glad to be guest designing at Nakshathra Designz again!

I received my GD kit containing the recently launched Celebration Time pack, Sparkling Diwali and Classic Black and White packs. With a lot of options to choose from, I have made 5 projects for you today :) Sit back and enjoy this picture heavy post! And don't miss, the best is saved for the last! :)

Creation 1: Classic Birthday Card
I created a layered card for birthday using the Classic Black and White patterned papers. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, heat embossed in white and diecut using a frame die.

Creation 2: Birthday Celebration Card
For the second card, I have used a patterned paper from the Celebration Time pack. This is one amazing pack with beautiful celebration colors, bokeh effects and lights. I have added a diecut butterfly from Sizzix Winged Beauties dies and a few enamel dots to add more interest. The sentiment is from Mudra Let's Party stampset stamped using distress ink onto yellow cardstock. It is diecut using Gina Marie Scallop Stitched Rectangle die and adhered with foam tape.

Creation 3: Diwali Celebration Card
With Diwali around the corner, I created a simple card :) This paper is also from the Celebrations pack, diecut using Gina Marie Scallop Stitched Rectangle die. The sentiment is stamped using Gold ink from Itsy Bitsy, using Mudra Diwali stampset. I've added a few green enamel dots and adhered the panel onto a textured green cardstock.

Creation 4: Diwali Crackers Card
For the 4th card, I used the Sparkling Diwali paper pack and chose a fireworks one. It is a square card with a simple layer of gold on the sides on base green cardstock. The sentiment is also from the same pack, matted onto green cardstock.

Creation 5: Celebration Mini Album
Now for the best of the 5 - a mini album! I wanted to try something special, and this is my first mini album of this type. It is made using a single sheet of 12x12 size. I loved the pink in the Celebrations pack and I chose a matching shimmer cardstock in pink for the base. I've used different dies for butterflies, inner pockets and the frame. I kept the embellishments to minimum and bordered with sequins.

Get to see the album in real! :)

Thank you for stopping by, hope you like my creations! :) Do let me know your feedback!
Have a nice day :)

Mini Album Quick Tutorial

Hello people.

Chirali here with a quick tutorial on a mini album and it's box with Classic Black and White paper pad. Yes, as it's name suggests, an album will be completely black and white. What one can do with black and white papers? The very question came on my mind as I am used to be a very colourful kinda thinker so I hope you like it.

Let's have a look at final mini album before starting with tutorial:

Here is the tutorial:

Take 6 thick white (or black) cardstock measuring 5.25"x5.25"  and 5 same coloured cardstock measuring 1.25"x1.25" (For spine).

Score the cutouts for spine at 0.5" and 0.75", glue it on 0.5" sides as shown in image and adhere it between to papers, leaving 0.25" gap between pages.

Adhere all the pages together which will result like below image.

Now measure the spine and take a paper with 1" extra on both sides, score the spine area on that paper at distance of 0.25" and fold it in a round shape and adhere the non-scored 1" portion to front and back of the album and raw albumis ready.

Now take 12 5"x5" Classic Black and White papers and decorate as you like and stick them to the album. I have adhered only three sides of each page so that i can add tags in main pages. Every left age has left side tag puller and right page has top side. Here are my ready pages. I decorated front and back pages lastly.

I made an explosion box to store this album which is also made from same paper pack. Sorry for not having the tutorial on the same. 

So here is the final box with the album:

I have kept the box and box cover simple.

Inside of the box is yet to be decorated a little. The tower in the centre holds the album with magnet.

For spine, take a paper a little bit smaller than spine size and score the same way we scored spine i.e. at 0.25".

Here is the video to the journey of whole project.

Hope you enjoyed it. Do leave feedback.

Thanks for stopping by.

Treasure box memory album-DT post Kriti Mishra

Namaste!!
Hope you all are doing well.
Today I am here with a new project for Nakshathra Designz.
This time I took The Classic Black and White paper stack from my DT kit and made a treasure box memory album.
I have read somewhere that "The greatest gift that you can give someone is your time. It's like you are giving the portion of your life that you can never bring back". And time turns into memories, because you have made them.
And this album is the best way to make them last forever.

Here is more detailed pictures

 It opens up like this

 Pages are the pocket pages and it contains tag also.

Thanks for visiting!!!
