"10 Highlights" mini album

Hi friends,

With Valentine's day just about a month away, today I share a mini album I had made for my valentine last year! It could also be a perfect anniversary or a wedding gift for a couple. 

So, the concept of the mini album was 10 highlights of our relationship, or the 10 things we love doing together. I also added 10 photos I love of us along with it! Since it was a Valentine gift, I wanted to use pink for the cover. To embellish the cover, used some jillibean soup alphabets, lace, and a charm. :) The inside pages have cute little tabs as well. 

Unfortunately, I do not have more pictures of the inside. 

Hubby loved it. Hope you do too, and get inspired to make something for your valentine!

Love,

Divya

Piano greeting card!

Folks, in this card I share a card I had made inspired by a piano. It can be an amazing anniversary, birthday, valentine's day card, or a card for a music lover. 

This card is bound to attract attention wherever it is displayed, and is sure to be a conversation starter for your loved one!

The piano legs, and music sheets all fold flat to make it easy to send it to the recipient. The piano lid is adorned with gorgeous handmade pink roses and vines. 

Mini Album - A perfect Wedding Gift!

Hi folks,

In this post, I share a recent mini album which I had made as a gift to a cousin at his wedding. The mini album contains about 20 pages.

The front and the back of the mini was meant to resemble a gathbandhan (a wedding knot). The maroon front with the sequin and gold lace signifies the girl's saree and the pink back signifies the dupatta on the boy's shoulder at the wedding ceremony. For a closure, I used a gorgeous gold pearl brooch, and added a metal clasp to it. I also added some pearls and beads as danglers.

For the background, I used acrylic paints to get some brightness. For the title of the album, I used adhesive stickers and adhesive sheets on bright orange cardstock, and then used gold foil over it to get an embossed look. I also made gold embossed metal corners with gold foil to give a rich royal look that is a complete must at Indian weddings!
