DIY Anniversary/ Valentines Day Emoji Chocolate Card

Hello Everybody! How are you all?

Out of all my posts, one of the most searched ones is the chocolate card. So when I made this emoji chocolate card a while back I knew I had to share it with u all. I absolutely adore emojis and my texts are usually full of them, quite literally. From there I took it to the next level and decided to use them in a card as well and if I say so myself it turned out pretty cute! The card itself it very easy to make all all you need is some time and some chocolates to eat while making it.

Stuff you’ll need:

2 Craft Paper/ Card Stock for Base (28 x 18 cm)

Glitter Pen (colour based on the above two sheets)

Yellow, Red and Blue Craft Paper

Heart Shaped Chocolates

Ruler, Glue and Scissors

First thing, cut out circles using yellow craft paper for the emojis (9 cm in diameter) and red craft paper for their mouths and hearts for their eyes. You can make as many as you like, I made just 3. Also cut out one huge heart.

Take two card stock or craft paper of size 28×18 cm, fold them in half along their length and paste the folded edges together. Now you’ll be left with four sticked together sheets of size 18×14 cm.

For the front, I used a simple heart eyes emoji. I pasted the cutouts and topped the hearts with heart shaped chocolates. So that it doesn’t look very plain I drew a border with a silver pen. (If you pick a light coloured sheet go for a darker pen.)

NOTE: Make sure to add some tape on the heart cut outs before sticking the chocolates so it doesn’t ruin the card later.

Basically the same thing is done for the rest as well and the images are very much self explanatory. You can do something more creative on the left sides other than pasting tiny smiley stickers all over. But I avoided that as the chocolates will already misshape the card. I so wish there was an emoji like the one below it’s adorable! ❤

So there, your card is complete already! Although I kept it pretty simple and bare, you can add more embellishments to it. Maybe a fancier border or some added lace or buttons and stuff.

I hope you liked it and if you create it I’d love to see your version! Thank you so much for dropping by my corner . Have a lovely day all you beautiful people! 🙂 Love,

7 Valentine’s Day DIY Gifts for Book Lovers

Aloha lovelies! Welcome to the laziest person’s lil blog! This was supposed to be up on Sunday but oh it was one of those lazy days when you just sleep and sleep some more. So I kept procrastinating until it was too late and now I’m here with a fun post very late.

I love Valentine’s day and if you happen to be single then don’t sulk. There are so many book boyfriends out there you could be reading about! So I’d already seen a plethora lovely posts for valentine’s day gifts for book lovers of amazing DIYs. What I wanted was these two together! And that’s exactly what I listed for today’s Super Seven Sunday post.

♥ Bookish Arty Frame ♥

I came across this cute wall art at Cozy Cottage Cute and if I had a bit more space at home I would have made it for myself! It would make an interesting gift as well as easy one for craft lovers.

♥ Cloth Book Cover ♥

I have seen a lot many similar book covers but I picked the one at 33 Stitches simply for the gorgeous fabric they have used! And the bright popping colours make it a perfect valentine’s day gift for girls.

♥ A Cute Book Frame ♥

Well Rounded gave plain old boring photo frames a lovely twist by incorporating a hardcover as the frame. You can also make it into a wall art with a number of hardcover frames above your writing desk.

♥ Mini Book Necklace ♥

Instead of looking for that perfect pendant make one of these by The Perfect Pear and your girl would be the happiest and you will save a lot of time and money!

♥ Valentine’s Day Cards ♥

How can I not add some bright and bookish cards into the mix? I love how basic they are with a clear message. The cards are by Brookegorell and Sylvias Stamping Place respectively.

♥ Book Clutch DIY ♥

Check out these most adorable book clutches by Sprinkle in Springs. Do I need to say anything? I’m making one of these for sure and never heading out without them! Yu can also make these with actual hardcover books like here.

♥ Comic Book Shoes ♥

Anomaly has the perfect tutorial for decoupage shoes. I don’t know about you ladies but I would love nothing more than my dying pair of sandals turned into these hotties! And while these comic book shoes are great but the historical romance book cover shoes below are plain mouth watering!

DIY Anniversary/ Valentines Day Chocolate Card

A happy Wednesday everyone!  This month I’ll be completing one year on WordPress and as I was going through my posts  I realised that this post, which is a repost of an earlier one was very much neglected. But it is also one of the most excessively searched posts! So I thought that it did deserve another go when I have some more gorgeous followers to appreciate it.

Last year on my best friend’s  birthday I wanted to make something different than a regular card. So I combed through pinterest for some ideas. It’s no surprise that there were tons of ideas but one of the best ones was this chocolate card where you put chocolates instead of words. But there was this tiny problem – we do not get those chocolates in India. So I improvised with what I could get and here’s the result..tada!!

The card says: My (Bourneville), on this occasion kuch meetha ho jaye with (Dairy Milk). Let’s just have a (Kit Kat) break from everything and head out to a (Milky BAR) and have (Snakker)..You are such a (Temptation) to me and all I wanna do is (Munch) on you.I love how you (Perk) me up when I’m down and make me (Snickers)..You are the (Gems) of my heart and the only person for me in the entire (Galaxy).

With loads of love, truly yours, (Bar One).

I hope it might help some of you out there. You can also check out my PORTFOLIO for more print and bookish designs. Here are some of the cards that I have made:

Feel free to snoop around for more stuff! As always, thanks a ton for dropping by. 🙂 Love,

DIY Glass Jar Candle Holder/ Lamp

Hello everybody! I’m back with another DIY today! This is a quick and easy DIY which can be done in 15 minutes. Mostly suitable for Diwali or Christmas, but you can use it for any other day when you feel like lighting up a candle.

I happened to have a few empty jars of Nutella on me so I decided to try something I saw on Pinterest long back and it turned out so beautifully.

Material you will require:

A jar of course

Tealight candle/ diya

Newspaper cuttings

Ribbon

Scissors and fevicol

Mod Podge (optional)

Take the newspaper cuttings and start pasting them on the jar until the entire surface is covered. I did some layering using headline cuttings and some pictures but you can use anything you like.

You can add a layer of mod podge over it but even without it it worked out fine for me.

To make it look pretty even in the daylight loop a ribbon around the mouth and bottom of the jar and secure it with glue.

Now place the tealight candle in the jar and it’s all complete!

Light it up and enjoy the coziness with a loved one!

NOTE: Since the ribbon is not of much consequence when the candle is lit, opting for a bit of lace would be a better idea.

That’s all for today! Thank you so much for dropping by you lovely people. Have a great day! 🙂

Handmade Bookmark

Hello everyone! I recently went to Delhi Book Fair and bought some really amazing books. And as always, I’ve started making bookmarks for them already. So today I have a tutorial to make this pretty bookmark which I originally saw in a video. The things you’ll need are:

1. Cut out a craft paper and handmade paper of size 7 x 2.5 inch and paste them together.( If you don’t want anything fancy, even this can serve as a basic bookmark for you.)
2. Take another 8 x 2.5 inch craft paper or a sheet and divide its length into four 2 inch sections.

3. Use colour pencils to draw different pattern on each section and cut them out. Here, the colours used are light blue, dark blue and purple as they look more synchronised together. I avoided using crayons or oil colours as they might leave a residue on the pages of the book.

NOTE: If you happen to have patterned sheets then you can use them and avoid step 2 and 3 altogether.

4. Now on the backside, mark a 0.25 inch boundary and fold it as shown below.

5. Paste these folded patterned pieces on your 7 x 2.5 inch handmade sheet (from step 1) with equal spacing and your bookmark is ready! You can also paste them directly without folding, but I think it gives them a raised effect which looks pretty cool.

I hope you enjoyed it much as I did while making it. I would love to see your creations too if you make it! And thank you so much for dropping by. See you soon! 🙂
