It was World Card Making Day yesterday so I get myself to make some more cards for Christmas and my colleague who celebrated her birthday last weekend. It is a belated birthday card from me.

I’ve got some ideas online watching video from YouTube about using vellum to make snowie look on the card from Two Peas, and also another one I scraplifted it from Jennifer McGuire.

This one is scraplifted from Jennifer McGuire:
The card above inspire this card below:
This is for the vintage look card that I wanted to make:

This one has been given away today: 😉
Just playing with my oval scallop punch, fun!

Another fun card combining whatever that I have in my stash.
Thanks for looking!

I think I’m getting addicted to online scrapbook challenges! I’ve done another two last night just for fun.
The card below is for Tamara scrapping recipe challenge:


Yes, I know it is still months away to Christmas, but I just feel like using that flower and wording from the Christmas kit of HOTP. Probably will put up for sale in my etsy shop later.

Another challenge I did was for a scrapbooking group in myspace which require to do a layout using only white, blue and green. So this is what I came up with:


I’ve used: American craft PP, Ribbon, chipboard letter thickers; HOTP PP; transparency from Coconut August kit and a 3D stickers.

I’ve a great news too, I’ve just found out that I’ve won the weekly challenge over in Color Me Daisy by doing their sketch by doing this layout!

Done 3 cards last night, two are for challengs, maybe will put all in my Etsy shop.
One card is for Coconut Scrapshop August card challenge which need to use chipboard, another one is a sketch challenge in 2sketch4u.

The one below is for Coconut Scrapshop August card challenge. I’ve used star chipboard from Maya Road and swirl brad from HOTP.


This one below is for the sketch challenge in 2sketch4u. I’ve used all pattern paper, tag, flower and ribbon from HOTP Personal Shopper Chirstmas Kit. The flower brad is from Making Memories. Probably will put this one up for sale in my Etsy shop before Christmas.

As for this one below, I was playing with my stamp set that I’ve just received from Scrap-n-Crop yesterday. I was so happy to get it together with my heating tool, and embossing powder that I play with them right away! I’ve used all things from HOTP Personal Shopper Kit too, except the white flower is from Prima and flower brad from Making Memories. This one will definitely be up in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

A birthday and challenge

Leave a comment
Yup, I used for both! I did one card, put it online for the color combo challenge in Coconut Scrapshop, killing two birds with one stone.

I hope both the birthday girl and the forum board love my card.

I’m actually waiting for my August Coconut Scrapshop kit so that I can do the color combo challenge by using that kit, but it is no where near my eye sight. Same goes to my Personal Shopper Stamp Only! Kit which I’m suppose to get it last month! Fortunately kind Debbie in Personal Shopper is sending me another stamp set with the bulletine.

I’ve also purchased some scrapbook materials including a heat gun and some embossing powder from Scrap-n-Crop yesterday, hoping to see them pretty soon in my mail box. Just can’t wait to play with the embossing powder and probably I can make more cards out from it, ‘cos I’ve also bought some neutral Bazzill Basic cardstock.

Here is the card that I’ve made for the color combo challenge:

Happy Birthday Mary C!

By the way, the color combo challenge is to build a 3D project, layout or card with the 3 colors of pink, blue and green in any shades.

Have done two challenges here over in SoCalScrap, one is a sketch challenge and the other is the card challenge. (you’ll need to be a member to join in all the fun and being a member is free!)

The one below is for the August sketch challenge. The sketch inspired me to do some butterflies for my LO. These cute little butterflies are actually made from flowers which got 5 pedals. One of the pedal is being cut off and replace by ribbon tie around it. The one in the middle is actually being cut in a way that one of the pedal became the antennas.
I’ve used Bazzil Basic cardstock, American craft ribbon and chipboard letter sticker, Urban Lily journaling tag, Hero Arts clear stamp.
As for the card below, it is for the card challenge, “Either use fabric or felt on your card or do some stitching (either machine or hand stitching) on your card.” What I did was to make a felt heart and stitch the edge.
I’ve used Urban Lily polkadot mini book cover, some pink brads, ribbon and red pattern paper from HOTP, Hero Arts clear stamp and punch the edge of the card with corner puncher.
This one below is another card which is almost black and white with a hint of red and pink. I just love what my round corner punch can do for the scallope edge, and I’ve punch little holes using Making Memories eyelet punch. The butterfly is also from Hero Arts clear stamp.
The cards below are made using Coconut Scrapshop July Liberty kit which is full of Scenic Road Liberty line paper.

I’m putting all these cards up for sale in my Etsy Store, do check them out.

‘L’ mom LO and cards

Leave a comment
Just did a layout from Coconut Scrapshop July Kit. ‘L’ mom is the title. Yup, I’m an L license mom, one that is new and still learning.
The blue cardstock is from Bazzill Basic which I just bought from Scrap-n-Crop, so regretted that I only order one! I should have order at least 2 pieces of this blue, I love the color, it is actually a little bit purplish, darn, I don’t know what name is it now. It is just nice to go along with the Liberty line of Scenic Road pattern paper. The word ‘mom’ is form thicker from American Craft, also got it from S-n-C, it is so easy to use and flexible.

Journal:
The L license mom: Being a first time mom, with new experiences, new feelings, new responsibilities, new priority and lots of uncertainty.
With Calvin since birth.

I’ve actually did another LO using the July kit but lack of journal at the moment, will post it up once I did.

I’ve also used the left over scrap to make a card which I’m going to use it to enter for the July Card Challenge in Coconut Scrapshop.

Now I wonder how much does this card cost and how do I value them or would there be anyone who’ll buy these cards.. Another one is by pattern paper from HOTP and flower from Prima.

TFL.

Grace’s card lift

1 Comment

Done some card lifting from Grace’s card which she is going to teach on how to make them, check out her blog here. They are simply stunning and I just had to lift them and make them my own, of course they are not as stunning as those that you see in her blog.

They are both for birthday.
By the way, little Mer’s birthday is tomorrow, since hubby will be leaving to Singapore and back to work in China tomorrow, so we are going to celebrate with him early tonight.


I’ve used all scrap from those left over from my layout. Since I don’t think people will always treasure a card like a layout with stories, so I’ve used brad on the 2nd card. Some PP from Kelly Pinacci, printed font from Canon scrapbook font, stamp lettering and flower from HOTP, star chipboard from Maya Road.

Oh, by the way, it was Grace’s birthday on Monday! Happy Belated Birthday Grace!

More Christmas cards

Leave a comment

I’ve made 4 more Christmas cards in two different designs but almost the same with the previous ones. Again, I used the dry embossed snowman, plus a dry embossed star. Feel abit reluctant to give them away, but a gift is a gift, it is something that you would love the other person to have.

Merry Christmas!

Everyone is using digital Christmas card now-a-day, so I only got 3 real card this year, maybe more is coming, but am not so hopeful for that. So I’ve made 3 cards to give them back. At the same time I’ve received my month kit from Paperwishes Personal Shopper, so I’ve made full use of the kit and made 2 extra cards other than the one that they showed in their kit.

The most part that I love doing is the snowman. I’m suppose to use the brad buddies snowman for the card but instead I use white card stock, trace, cut and emboss the snowman, then put eyelets as the buttons. I love how it ends up and am thinking to make more.
