Welcome to Day 2 of the Diwali Bloghop! Today we are focusing on Diwali decor which is "anything but a card". I decided to make my own diya (oil lamp). This is my first time making one so I learnt some good lessons around decorating a circular cup. When I was wrapping the cup with ribbons I realized I need to cut the ribbons in small parts rather than one whole piece the length of the circumference. This is necessary to align the ribbon with the cup edge!<br />
<br />
I took a small glass cup and decorated it with ribbons all around its sides. Then I added some red pearls and golden flowers on its edge. This was simple and quick and I plan to make more of these to light a row of lamps on Diwali days.<br />

There are many reasons why this post is super special! First of all this is my first ever bloghop and you have no idea how excited I am writing this post :) Then there is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali" target="_blank">Diwali</a> - the Indian festival of lights just around the corner and I can't wait to celebrate! And of course the biggest reason why this post is super special - this is the first time I made Diwali cards and I am dying to share those with you all :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Diwali is the one of the most popular festivals in India. Diwali is celebrated every year in many special ways. During the Diwali week people visit friends and relatives, exchange sweets and gifts, burst fire crackers, decorate the house with lanterns and rows of diyas (small oil lamps) and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangoli" target="_blank">rangoli</a> (usually sand art with a variety of sand colors). In the spirit of this festival of lights I used many glittering layers and embellishments on my cards. Also I kept each card very simple and took advantage of this opportunity to use a variety of patterned paper that I brought from India. </div>

I was starting to get uncomfortable with the long break I took from craft adventures. Life happens and sometimes you just wait forever for the right time and motivation to get back to doing what you are passionate about.. Last week the right time came for me ...<br />
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
My uncle, aunt and their kids visited us over the weekend and I was excited to see them after 4 long years!!! I started thinking of ideas to make a motivational card for my cousin who will graduate from high school in next couple of years and go to college... and I took this opportunity to use my Silhouette Cameo to show off its beauty and here is what I came up with -<br />

I went to a stamp festival in Portland in April and bought a whole variety of stamps. This butterfly stamp is one my favorite picks from that trip! I made 3 such butterflies on different colored backgrounds and then experimented with several patterned papers to see which combo appealed to me the most! Do you like this combo as well?</div>

I started subscribing to the Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit from April 2012. Most of the ingredients for this card are from my April Kit! I loved the cute paper flowers in the kit that go so well with the patterned paper! And needless to mention I love pink!!! </div>

Few days ago my eyes fell on the elegant patterned card stock that I had used a couple of years back to make my wedding invitation cards. I had made 40 invitation cards then and have some pieces of that beautiful card stock in my stash! Keeping up with the wedding theme I used the same card stock to make a card for a newly wed couple! I combined elegant pattern with the wrinkled Indian handmade paper.</div>

I saw this sketch on <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/card-sketches-f41/sketch-challenge-380-%7Bapril-11-2012%7D-t551915.html" target="_blank">SCS Sketch Challenge 380</a> on Wednesday morning and since then my mind was occupied thinking of what papers I could use for this layout! When I started making this card it was more challenging than I thought it would be since all the layers and colors had to match well. I must admit that I spent a lot of time trying to gather and match all the patterned papers I wanted to use. I also discarded 2 of those after I cut the circles since the patterns didn't gel well. Here is what I finally put together -</div>

K&Company dimensional flower & butterfly</td></tr>

I used my new <a href="http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/ektools/Products/Circle_Scissor_Pro_EKPL1006.htm" target="_blank">EkSuccess circle scissors</a> for the first time today! Cutting circles is a piece of cake now :) I placed the paper on a glass mat and then placed this tool on top. What I like the most about this tool that you can cut a circle from any section of the paper and you can check before cutting if the circle is going to cut the expected area on the paper.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This weekend <a href="https://plus.google.com/112344924130503126632/about" target="_blank">Chaitali</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/114260188487630903055/posts" target="_blank">Prema</a> and I set up a booth at Asha's <a href="http://www.ashanet.org/seattle/events/geetanjali/" target="_blank">Geetanjali</a> event to sell our handmade paper goods. Chaitali and I started going to this event since last year and this year Prema joined us as well. All the money we earn from selling our cards and paper products goes to Asha for a good cause.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year we had a collection of about 50 cards for the booth. This year we decided to expand the variety of goods beyond cards. I made some envelopes and mini/pocket scrapbooks. I will write another post for the scrapbooks. Here are all the envelopes I decorated!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you wondering why I chose envelopes of this size? These envelopes can be used for packaging gift cards or gift cash. There are many places where gifts are given in the form of cash to let the receiver buy a gift item of their choice. It is the same as giving a gift card except that you actually pack a bunch of bills in the envelope :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All these envelopes are made of handmade paper from India. I usually make the envelopes too from scratch. I made about 100 envelopes from scratch with handmade paper and decorated the envelopes - some of those were used for giving gifts to the guests at my wedding. The envelopes in the pics are however pre-made and I decorated each one with a variety of embellishments. The elephant headed figure in a couple of cards is that of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha" target="_blank">Ganpati</a> - who is widely worshipped in India and is honored at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies. </div>
