Rose garden scrapbook

Hi peeps 

Malaika here from ITS ALL ABOUT PAPER-DESIGN STUDIO. Am here, with my first video as A1 Crafts design team 2019.

This album i have left the brown cardstock as it is and popped it over with A1 crafts paper pad.

Brown is the color of  wood, earth, stone, wholesomeness, reliability, elegance, security, healing, home, grounding, foundations, stability, warmth, and honesty, it is a natural, neutral color that I love. So the album is left brown and on this sits rose garden paper pack just like a queen.

List of supplies used:
Kraft Cardstock: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1681643442074825.1073741871.1406612012911304&type=1&l=a5bcd4f67b

The album measures 6"* 6" with 3 interactive pages inside. Kraft card stock is used here and adorned with beautiful rose garden paper pack.. a lot of cutouts are from the paper pack itself ...as its pre cut cutouts i have saved time on fussy cutting.

Some flowers and die cuts are from my stash.

I also have a video for you all to see the interactive flips and folds, the pockets and tags and all other embellishments.

I hope you like my work... Would love to  hear your comments below.


Thank you
Much love
Malaika

Illusion Necklace Tutorial

Hello! Shruthi here from SHRUTS HANDMADE STUFF!

I received some pretty looking mixed glass pearls from A1 Craft and decided to make an ILLUSION NECKLACE/ FLOATING NECKLACE with them. As the name suggests an ILLUSION NECKLACE gives the illusion that the beads are floating.

If you are a beginner then this tutorial is for you. With minimal tools and this simple technique get ready to create an elegant and beautiful necklace which can be worn with any attire for any occasion.

Get started with my tutorial here

Vintage masculine cards

Hi friends, 

Lekha here, I have made a bunch of cards using supplies from my first DT kit from A1 craft.

If you missed seeing what all goodies I got in my kit please visit the blogpost here. 

I have created three very simple cards using the Retro traveler paper pack and metallic cardstock.

 A very simple layered card emphasizing on the quote.

 For this second card I have used the die cuts from the paper pack and used two way foam tape to create some dimension to the die cut image.

 The third card is two fold card with a pocket to hold two tags and closed with help of a belly band.

Hope you like the cards.

Do leave some love in the comments.

And share with us your creations.

 Keep Crafting

Lekha

Bookmark Or Tag Tutorial

Hello everyone!
Tulika here..... Today I am very excited to share my project with you all as this includes my very first video tutorial!
I got few tissue napkins and MDF bookmarks (which can be use as tags too) in my DT kit from A1 Craft and rest products I used from my stash.
I decided to make a vintage style and a floral theme designs on them.

I was very nervous while shooting the video but after completing them quiet happy with the outcome... what do you think??

Here is my video tutorial :

Dont forget to give some likes on my tutorial.

and below are images of the tags I have shown in video tutorial.

In the tutorial I forgot to mention that I was not happy with the embossed sentiments so I wrote them back with white colour paintbrush.....and also gave a border to the gear clock embossed part to highlight that.

Below are the products I used from store

MDF bookmarks:

Dr. MALAIKA GRACIAS

Dr. Malaika gracias, a practicing physiotherapist by profession and a crafter by passion.

Crafting since childhood, I find relaxation to my creative soul while pursuing my dreams.

Along with my sister, I run a creative brand called IT'S ALL ABOUT PAPER -DESIGN STUDIO.

I customize and handcraft home decor, lifestyle , wedding invitations and stationery.

I sell these Products online and through pop up exhibitions.

MAANSI VASWANI

What started as a hobby and passion after quitting my corporate job soon became a venture with friends and family placing orders. 

I started my journey with candle making and over a period of time I have made home decor products using art forms like madhubani, warli, crochet, decoupage, mix media and quilling.

Lately I have started making handwoven beaded jewellery and bead embroidery.  I love to experiment and try out new craft forms. 

Home decor - Artfire

Jewellery- Nazra

And last but not the least, let me introduce you to our coordinator, She has been a strong support for A1  Craft for a long time now, and I am pleased to give her additional responsibility in this new venture of ours.

MADHURI RAO

Hello all,
Madhuri James (Madhuri Rao) this side. My crafting journey started way back in my school days when I used to trade winkwink my paintings and crafts with the notes(trust me writing notes especially 2nd and 3rd language were always boring for me). My teachers and classmates always appreciated my works (only when creativity was the criteria 😅) and the journey began. As a teenager, I started making cards and tie dye the handkerchiefs to earn my pocket money 😁. Secured 1st place in Diploma in Handicrafts (recognized by Maharashtra Government) and worked in couple of schools as creative head/supervisor. It all started with 1 dedicated cupboard and now I have 250 Sq ft. area all to myself to set up my workstation known as Shalom Creations.
At present, I am the visiting faculty for vocational skills at one of the NGO's in Mumbai known as Rangoonwala and I am an hardcore Activist. But creativity is something which comes to me naturally (Thanks to my Genes 😁). Have been teaching macrame weaving, Warli Painting, Nature Painting and many other types of arts for over a decade now.
I love anything and everything where I can use all my creative juices. To be precise, I am more into scrapbooking but again wherever the papers and scissors are used, you will find me trying that art 😃. I am not tech savvy and thus often when it comes to uploading my work on my page, I lazy around. But still u can find my works (hopefully in future) on my FB page.

So that's all of our design team members and co-ordinator.

I design and create fashion jewellery, home decor and exclusively personalised gifts. Everything is handmade and heartfelt. I love to work with different mediums and have so far worked with polymer clay, resin, silk thread, decoupage etc. Looking forward to expanding my horizons further with A1 crafts. I feel like a child appointed to test the toys at Toys"R"us!

ARPITA TORNAL

I am Arpita Tornal, from Bangalore, India. I have been crafting for almost 13-14 years now. Started as a hobby with hand embroidery and just started exploring other forms of crafts like sospeso, mosaic art, resin art, glass painting, jewellery making, etc. The 2 forms of crafts that I am mostly fond of today are Decoupage and Mixed Media. Crafting is a process of healing and brings me great joy. Its my passion today and no day passes by without a little crafting in it.                                            

Happy Crafting !

Introducing our Designer Team for 2019

Hello Everyone,
As you all know we had open call for design team for year of 2019, and we received tremendous response from all over India. It was heartening to see so many crafters enthusiastic to work with us.
However since we have only few spots for design team this year, it took us quite a while to finalize all members.
So without further delay let me star introducing myself and my team to you all.

Dr. NEHA SHAH

Nothing can better summarise my journey than the Walt Disney’s famous quote “All dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them”. A journey which had its seeds planted in my subconscious during my super hectic medical years. Yes, I am a qualified doctor by education and profession (though a part time, currently). Crafting was my only escape from the reality, where I was able to express myself so freely and happily. The joy it brought was immeasurable! During this time, the supplies in Indian crafting scenario were limited and it was both difficult and expensive to get foreign brands which would upset me. With the intention to help and encourage fellow crafters and artists, I took the plunge and started a small home setup by name A1 Crafts. This was 2011. Fast forward 2019, here we are with a proper brick and mortar setup in not just one but two cities, Mumbai and Pune. This wouldn’t have been possible without our loyal customer base who believe in our quality and reliability. 

Phew! What a ride it has been! To take a step further, we are pleased to announce our very own design team. The primary purpose of this team team is to bring out the best creative ideas to stir your minds.

TULIKA SAHA

Hi Tulika Saha this side...a passionate crafter from Kolkata. I did my Master Degree in Geography and worked for 14years as a teacher in different reputed schools before I took up crafting as a full time career and being a stay at home with my son. I always had a keen interest for art and craft. Decoupage and Mixed Media are my main areas of interest but love to do other paper crafting too. So, I decided to invest my time to start my own venture in crafting business after leaving my school job. I do take orders for handmade home decors and gift items and spend free hours by taking up decoupage workshops in different places. 

I run my venture through my Facebook page "C 4 Craft"
