Birthday Card

Hi Friends!

How are you all ? Hope you are doing well.

I have been busy with my students ; the last and concluding part of the academic year. They were all writing their final exams. Now we are waiting for their results.

It is very hot here and temperatures are on the rise. I am busy with summer camps. This year I have cut down to much less time in the camps as I cannot sit for long. 

But I promised to teach in the camp run by an NGO. There are so many children participating in the camp, who come from families who cannot afford to spend money on education in private schools. Some of the children are so bright and eager to learn that it motivates all of us to teach them, interact with them and guide them. Even if they learn just one percent, we all will be happy.

I am also waiting for my next batch of students for the new academic year.

Well I have been making some cards and other small things to give away to my students. I will try to post them. Only thing is I cannot sit for long nor can I type for long.

But I am first posting those cards and other paper crafts which I made in 2016/2017 when I had only punches and other few craft tools with me.

Here is one card I made - a simple birth day card.

I have used, a off white  textured and glittered A4 size card stock folded into half as base. It is not so clear in my photo. I used purple coloured metallic card with the border design punched out using border punch. 

I added a 3D sticker of the bouquet and few stars punched out of purple and gold metallic paper, using star punch. Then added some gold coloured flat pearls in the center of the stars. I printed the sentiment stamp on to the small card stock. Since it was textured, the stamping was not clear. So I touched up with a purple glitter pen and dabbed some distress ink on to the edges of the card.

Glued some stars shapes on to the envelope as well.

Materials Used:

Off white, textured glitter card stock A4 size

Purple and Gold Metallic paper

Star Border Punch

Star Punch

Bouquet Sticker 

Sentiment Stamp and Purple Pigment Ink

Golden Turmeric Distress Ink

Purple Glitter Gel Pen

Glue and dimensional foam adhesive

This was a simple card very easy to make...Watch out for more...

Congratulations to Mirabai Chanu !

I was just watching Mirabai Chanu in the CWG-2018. What a performance! It was great watching her lifting those weights so effortlessly. What a proud moment to see that an Indian woman left other competitors far behind. 

Congratulations to her, She won us two Gold Medals on the first day. 

Wishing her all the best and many more such achievements....

Now our sports persons are doing better and better in international events. This is what we Indians have been longing to see for so long.

Wishing our Indian team at CWG 2018 all the best in the coming events.

Greetings

Hi Friends!

Belated Greetings to all those who celebrated their New Year on 18th of this month. Hope you all celebrated it well.

We also celebrated Ugadi-our New Year on that day. It was cloudy and rained a little, a day before and on the New Year Day. So it was pleasant. We enjoyed the day, listening to all the Panchanga recitals and other programmes specially aired for the day. The highlight of-course  was the nail biting finish of the T20 match final between India and Bangladesh. 

There was not much blooming of Neem. So I had tough time getting hold of the Neem flowers. Raw mangoes were also very costly and small in size. Some how I managed to get hold of them in the end. The Ugadi Chutney came out very well.

Now slowly the day temperatures are increasing. But what is surprising is that it is a bit chilly early in the morning. 

Plus Two exams are over. Xth class students are writing the finals. During first week of April other classes will have their exams. So I am still busy with my students.

All of you take care...Will be back with you...
