Dear friends…
A very warm welcome to you all!
I’M JUST TOO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT MY OFFICIAL WEBSITE IS FINALLY UP AND RUNNING TODAY!
I would like to start today’s post for this blog with a quote that I believe in…
My another dream come true!!
My determination and hard work gave shape to my dreams and turned them in reality.
Four years back, when I started my journey in paper crafting I never thought that I will reach so far in this industry in such a small time. I was introduced to Facebook by my kids just to pass the time when I was on bed rest after my surgeries. However, there I met a few people who actually became a part of my crafting journey. Let me introduce you to them…
Neha Jain, a fellow crafter and software engineer who introduced me to so many Indian papercraft designers. Kaveri Chhabra, one of my very old student who offered me to use her own tools as I was not in position to buy such expensive supplies on my own, Monika Sachdeva, my best friend who always supported me when I was in need, though she is not much in crafting now, Mallika Kejriwal, yet another fellow crafter who introduced me to blogging in April,2012. I still remember when Priya Sivaraj offered me to design for Color Conception. I was not even known to proper blogging. I use to design and do the write-up but also use to share my password and ask her to post on my behalf, Meetu Aggarwal one of my old student and best friend who always supported me and called for supplies that I use to google and were not available in India and my daughter, Srishti Chawla, who always acted as my backbone in crafting specially during my workshops, though she is not at all interested in joining me fully. Quilling gave me a start and card making made me move little more and then started my journey of taking workshops in different states of India.
My journey as a crafter has been a real roller coaster ride but I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. And today, I’m launching my own website that has been designed by my son. Needless to say, I’m on top of the world! I want to thank all of you who’ve stopped by my creations and shared your valuable feedback and appreciation. Without your support, I wouldn’t have made it to this day. Thanks a lot!
And here comes the exciting part…

A huge Congrats Rajni ji such a beautiful website your son has designed…perfect to showcase your beautiful crafts. I loved the way you thanked the ladies who helped you in your crafting journey…such a beautiful and heartwarming gesture it is. Love your work Rajni…you put so much love in to it ,each inch of your creation is beautiful ! Enjoy your celebration. Please count me in on the giveaway …my only regret is I wont be able to actively participate as much as I would want to as expecting guests from Kerala and my crafting and online time will be restricted
Congratulations love yr work getting great idea thank for the chance of winning
I really liked this idea of website, and its executed very nicely.
The way you mentioned all behind the screen people shows that you are a person who believes in WALKING TOGETHER and not ‘stepping on other’.
This place is heaven. N as learnt people say heaven is full of beautiful creations. Its place where you can think of creating beauty with your hands.
Its difficult to describe you and your creativity but on this big event I will try to do it again. Many might say that there is magic in your hand, but I disagree I think there is DETERMINATION and DREAM in your heart n mind. I can tell this because those 5 days I spent with you in your workshop is just amazing. People can tell one’s mistakes that is TEACHING (which many do) but sharing knowledge about how to over come those mistakes and encourage the beginner is TRUE sign of A GURU, which you are. You are perfect example of HARD WORK n dedication, you extend time of work shop to complete the course and not just squeeze everything in pre-fixed time that shows your love for ART-CRAFT. You are a TREND SETTER.. Every one who have known you has learnt that there is no mistake, everything is a learning experience…
I am glad that I met you and tried learning little from you..
All the best for all FUTURE ventures…:)
congo……..!!! keep going all the best i have seen your posts each and every piece is too good loved them…
i have shared.. followed….
Big Congratulations to you Rajni!
Your new web site is beautiful…and filled with wonderful inspiration!
I will be visiting often…and will continue to follow yo on FB!
Congrats Rajni Mam.You make Indian crafters proud.I love all your breath taking mixed media works.I would like to see some basic tutorials from you.
Done all the steps.
Congratulations for the achievements and many more to come. I still remember when i had met you at that time when i was soo much frustrated and wanted to leave crafting and you were so unknown to me but you were like a ANGEL to me at that time, infact at good times people are always with you but at hard time you were like a Blessing/God to me.
congratulations 🙂 wishing you many more success ahead.. and thanking for this oppourtunity 🙂

Enjoy working with Heartfelt Creations. I’ve been told that it’s one of the best to work for. I did all the steps to enter for the drawing.
Aunty Hearty Congratulations 🙂 Thanks for giving us an opportunity to participate in the giveaway on launch of your website 🙂 I already was following you on most social media forums 🙂 had missed Twitter where I followed you now 🙂 I love the look of your website 🙂
Here is a small testimonial for you & every word comes straight from my heart 🙂
One is inspired by many but can only have one idol & my crafting Idol is Rajni Chawla Aunty 🙂 She needs no introduction as every Indian crafter I am sure knows her, but for those of my friends, who are not into crafting, here’s something about her: For me, Rajni aunty is the “Crafting Queen of India”. She can create magic with any medium you provide her. Be it quilling, stamps, die cuts, chip boards, distress ink, water colours, alcohol inks, acrylic paint, you name it and Rajni aunty can create master piece 🙂 Infact she can even use negatives to make stunning work of art (I love what she did with the dusty-attic negatives)
A DT on board of some amazing brands including dusty Attic & HeartFelt Creations… Rajni aunty is the rockstar of the craft world 🙂 She is not just a beautiful crafter but a gorgeous person & the most amazing teacher 🙂 I have been lucky enough to take a few classes with her 🙂 In the time you spend with her, she opens her heart to you with all the knowledge she has and answers even the smallest question with equal attention 🙂
Here’s wishing Rajni aunty hearty congratulations on the launch of her website 🙂 You rock!!
Dearest Rajni Aunty,
Hearty Congratulations for the launch of your website. It is one of a kind and a treat for the eyes when I see your creations on the site. I had the privilege of attending your workshops twice last year. It was a wonderful experience to have learnt from you and blessed to even have a one on one session which, till date has been the best day of my crafting journey. You are a very down to earth person and an amazing teacher with tons of patience and dedication for crafting. I feel proud that you have been chosen as a DT member of Heartfelt creations and happy to have learnt flower making where you used products of the same company. I look forward to learn more from you in the future. Wish you lots of happiness, success and may you reach many more milestones 🙂 <3
Hearty congrats Mam.Thanks for this this chance.Well,how would i write about a craft genius.I love ur works to the core.U r my greatest inspiration.I would like to attend ur workshop when u come to chennai.
hello mam. congrats on a big milestone achieved. you have been a true inspiration for many crafters. For me you have been a ray of hope when the world doubted my existence. came across your money envelopes and then the journey was never ending where i daily used to wait for a new work from your end. i tried to copy few of your designs by drawing on my own during the time i was totally unaware of stamps and dies. Following you and various groups i have begun a journey in this craft world. thank you for the inspiration. i an trying to re-establish my identity and prove myself. thank you once again.
Wow the website is awesome.Thanks for being an inspiration to us and for this lovely giveaway.I really love all ur works and u r such a great inspiration for everyone.Being a Dt for great brands makes us feel proud and you deserve that for such creative and dashing works.I would love to attend ur workshop

congrats Mam on your new site…. whoever was into the making of this site…hats off to them too… great work… creating a project is one step… executing it properly is another important step…
when i came to know about you initially through facebook,.. i was seeing all your post to know from when u have started your journey… and i was shocked… its only 2 years… from a ”beginner” to a ”craft Queen”,.. just 2yrs… wow.. this is amazing.. unbelievable… i thought you must be in this field for minimum 10 years… but you have incredible talent, passion, love, creativity towards your work… thats why you have achieved heights in less time… am sure that you would have put on lots of hardwork behind this 2 years…all those came into limelight very soon…
You are loved by all fellow crafters because of your unique creations, which astonishes all of them.. make them feel jealous how u did it, make them admired , make us curious how u made it possible…
Becoming designer member of the famous Heartfelt Creations,.. when i first saw your heartfelt cards,.. i wondered why u were not into design team.., because your cards and flowers were more beautiful than what emma lou shows us.. and you are finally in….
My dream is to attend some of your flower making classes… first of all.. TO SEE YOU MAM…
My hearfelt wishing to you and your family members…..
Congratulations on the launch of your Website. its always great to see your works and you inspire us more than words can explain. special thanks to your children or making the website come alive 🙂
