Anniversary wishes on an Interactive Twist & Pop Card

Hello Everyone...

It has been a loonnnggg break from the blog world. And I am so happy to be back. Would try to keep my blog updated.. Thanks for dropping by.

Today I am here to showcase one of the most interesting cards I ever made. It is a Twist & Pop card. Its so damn cool and takes the receiver definitely by surprise.

I enjoyed making these. Have used Mudra Stamps - Daisy Blooms. Its a cute layered stamp at the most economic price. Love the way it lifts the beauty of the card when embellished with these blooms.

Here are the pictures.

3D Explosion Box Card

Hey All..

Its been a really long time.. since i blogged.. So here i am now to showcase my new explosion box card.. I love making explosion box cards as they are a unique way of gifting.. and you get ample scope for embellishment as per your choice.

But I chose to keep my embellishments limited as subtle. Still bold and vibrant. This festive box can be used for gifting for any occasion.. And this one.. with red and black would be ideal for Valentine Gift.. :)
