More cards from the weekend

Hello lovelies!

Here are the two cards that I promised to share yesterday. One is shabby and the other is fun. The first card has a very simple design using Creative Imaginations paper, K&Co die-cuts (it's from my friend, Vi) and chipboard butterflies. I think I made this card within 10mins.....told you it's simple :)

Next is a card using October Afternoon paper and die-cuts, Making Memories letter stickers and the cute jornaling spot is a RAK by Jessy. I had it for months and I am so glad that I finally use it on my cards :)

I hope you like them! See ya!

How I spend my weekend.......

Hello there! Ohh...I've been swamped with work here. I miss blog hopping and I'm sorry if you don't see me commenting on your blog as frequent as before. Today's post is going to be a very short one as I just wanted to show you the cards I made over the weekend. I made four but will only share two here. Will save the other two for the rest of the week.

I love the big butterfly die-cut that I received from my sweet babe, Jessy! Pattern paper is by Bo Bunny.....gotta love this too! I also added some stitching on the border....it took me a while coz I don't own any sort of sewing machine (can someone please hint this to my hubby...please??)

Next is a card using my favourite things. There are paper by October afternoon and Cosmo Cricket......stamp by Papertrey Ink......heart sticker by Dear Lizzy for American Crafts.......and letter stickers by Making Memories.

That's all I have for today! Off to work now :) See ya!

TDO1 Challenge

Hello! Welcome to Tiffany Doodle first sketch challenge! There are lots of digi stamps for you to win so come and join the fun!

My card featuring the butterfly digi stamp by Tiffany Doodle. To create the butterfly, I print the image on white cardstock and colored it with Zig markers (still figure how to use Copics). Then I dot the trail with liquid pearls. Can you tell that I'm kinda obssesed with this color combo?

Have fun creating!

Cool Layering Technique

Happy Fridayyy!!!!! I am getting excited here because Monday is also a holiday for us!! YAY!

Just a few days ago, I saw this beautiful card made by my talented friend Tiffany and it inspired me so much that I wanted to create one. All the stamps featured here are by Papertrey Ink. To create this card, I first stamped the text background in Sahara Sand ink. Then, I randomly stamped the butterflies in various sizes using three different ink.....Pink Petunia, Pink Grapefruit and the other I don't know the name but I think it's Fuschia Pink. An easy peasy card under 30mins :)

I hope you enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by!

The Sky's The Limit

Hello there!

Thank you so much to all of you who participated in the Tiffany Doodles Blog Hop! I was overwhelmed by each and every comment I received during the hop! It was a great experience for me, really. It is only the beginning and there are lots more coming soon. So please stick with us :)

This is what I made for the class at Smidapaper last week. Banners and hot air ballons are in the rage right now and we can see this trend everywhere in the blog land. And that's why I used the "Look Up" stamp set by Practicing Creativity Designs for this class. It seems perfect and the gals loved this stamp! But one setback.... I lost the smallest basket while I washed it the other day. It fell and went straight into the sink :(

I will post the winner of the blog hop later in the day. Be sure to check back.

A little giveaway......

Hello lovelies! Ohh....it has been almost a week since my last post! Last week had been one hectic week for me! Loads and loads of work! I am really sorry if you've been here to see my cards but I have none to show. To make up for it, I'll have a little giveaway at the end of this post. But first let me share with you some of the cards I made over the weekend.

Last Saturday, I had another class at Smidapaper and it was a BLAST! Had so much fun with the gals! Then after the class, I invited Sharon and Josie to my house which they gladly accepted :) We had another round of fun! Josie brought along with her the Martha Stewart's Monarch butterfly punch and she was so kind to punched a few of these beauties for me...thanks gal :) I used lots of stamps on this card. For instant, the polka dots stamp by PTI and the scalloped border stamp by Hero Arts. Then, I accent the butterfly with a metal piece by Making Memories. The lace trim is by Maya Road.

Next up is another card I made using digi image by The Cutting Cafe. This time I choose to create with the Sail Boat Shaped card. It's cute isn't it?? Regina is really good at creating cute stuff! I paired it with paper by My Mind's Eye and rub-ons by October Afternoon.

I always love embellished paper clips and thought of making one my own using these Prima flowers that I have in my stash. I also showed the ladies how to make these during the make and take at Smidapaper last Saturday. I had fun matching the flowers and the colors. By the time I realized it, I had already make a dozen. So, I thought I'll give these away to four people who commented on this post. It's easy isn't it? Just leave a comment here by Sunday, June 6th 11:59pm (Malaysian time of course) and I shall annouce the winners on the following day.

Thanks for stopping by!

Admit One : Ticket to Happiness

Happy Wednesday to y'all!

It has been a good week so far and I'm back with another card using some new stuff. For this card, I'm using paper by Terresa Collins (black houndstooth) and American Crafts (my October Afternoon paper seriously need a break *grin*). I cut a tag from kraft paper and stamped the PTI text background using distress ink. Then, I cut the green polka dots paper into strips, distress the edges and curmpled. Notice that cute lil birdie perched on a branch? It's a digital stamp by Tiffany Doodles. Tiffany (the owner) is surely talented and has lots to offer in her store that you should really check it out!! You won't want to miss this!
I print out the bird image on a cream cardstock, fussy cut and accent it with lots of glitter glue. It doesn't really show in the picture but it looks very glittery in real life.

I hope you are enjoying your day! Got to get back to work now :)

I love butterfly!

Hey there! I'm happy to say that I have a card to share with you all today. It feels good when this happen. Last week, I have zero creativity but this week I can feel that my mojo has started to flow back into my life. Slowly but surely :) Let's get into today's card, shall we?

Actually I don't have the intention to make anything yesterday as I only had 3 hours of sleep the night before. Thought of going to bed early but a girl got to do what a girl's got to do *grin*. With that in mind, I went into my craft room aka store room and made a super quick card. I think I made this under half an hour without a sketch. Yay...a pat on my back :) Can see all the PTI goodness on this card? Love it! I also paired with the butterfly lace cardstock by Creative Imaginations. Isn't it perfect for the butterfly stamp?

I hope you enjoy today's card! See ya!

You Light Up My Life!

Hello ladies!! I know I disappeared from the blog world for five days and it feels great to be back! Oh...I miss y'all! My mojo wandered quite far this time and only returned on last Friday. Just in time for me to create a card :)

Today's card featured the cute hot air ballons stamp by Practicng Creativity! I paired it with paper from My Mind's Eye because I thought the color is perfect for the background. To create the clouds cut out, first I stamped the clouds image on a piece of rustic cream cardstock and cut the outline using a craft knife. Simple card in an hour :)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day ahead!

A gift for a special friend.........

Hello there! I hope you are having a great day! Mine is not that great....I'm losing my mojo this week. Oh boy! If you found it, please return to me asap...lol :) Seriously, I'm not in the mood of creating this week and I need to do some blog hopping to get my mojo back. Did this ever happen to you? It's not fun at all.

Anyways, let me share with you the card I made last weekend a special friend whom are very dear to me. I can't share too much here because she reads my blog. I just hope she likes it :)

I hope you are not sick of me using OA paper for most of my projects. I can't help it :) And ohh....I finally used the artisan tape by Pink Paislee and I LOVE it! Love the big Prima flower? It was given to me by my sweet babe, Jessy! I just adore this gal! We do chat on the phone every once in a while and the conversation usually last more than half an hour. We are chatty, aren't we?

The cup with a matching box. I just add a Prima flower and two stick pins by Making Memories.

That's all I have for today. Let's hope I'll get my mojo back and you shall see some update from me.

Happy Monday!

I have not been very productive over the weekend and only created two cards. And I'm here to share one of them with you. I wanted to do the weekly product feature but I find it difficult to use just one product for the whole week. Yeah...I can only do that with October Afternoon. You can call me bias :) But I do remember I have stuff that I love other than OA.....like Papertrey Ink. When it comes to paper, my favourite will always be OA but when it comes to stamps, it has to be Papertrey Ink. So, here's the card using my favourite stamps.

First, I stamped the text background in white acrylic paint by Making Memories. When it dries, the stamped background will have a slight raised effect like embossing. Then, I stamped the flourish in distress ink. The design is very much inspired by a t-shirt worn by a friend of mine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

And the winner is..................

Happy Friday y'all!! Before I announce the winner of the Cutting Cafe giveaway, let me share with you the card I made for my class at Smidapaper last Saturday. It was fun and I get to meet my bloggy friends, Sharon and Vi!

Congratulations Julie!!! Woohoo! Please email me and I'll send the file to you!

THANK YOU!!

Edited to add: I entered this card for the MFW Fun with Fabric Challenge

Hello lovelies! I just want to say a big "THANK YOU" for your kinds words and sweet emails that you've been sending the last few days! This week has been the most exciting week since I started this blog almost 3 years ago. I never knew that blogging and cardmaking could be so fun and addictive. I never knew that I'll be making great friends from around the world. To be in a design team and getting published is never part of my dream when I started this blog. But as I grow, all this has becoming a dream of mine and I work to achieve it. When I fail and on the verge of giving up, you all just back me up and gives me the support that I needed. I am so THANKFUL to have you all as my friends and you are the reason why I'm still here. I LOVE you all....seriously!!

To show my appreciation, I'll be having a giveaway soon. But first let me mail out my 1st blog candy. Yes, it's a month ago and I still keep it. (Annie.....if you are reading this, I'm sorry and I'll make sure I'll go to the post office today)

Today I'm sharing a card I made for my SIL. She ordered a card from me (it's been a while since I sell my cards) yesterday and I thought what a perfect timing. Because I've been wanting to play with 2S4Y this week. This week is like an October Afternoon week for me. I've been using lots of paper from OA and I love it. Maybe I should do a post where I use a certain brand of products for the whole week. Let's say this week is October Afternoon and maybe next week is Cosmo Cricket or Papertrey Ink and so forth. What say you? Would it be fun? I would love to hear from you.

I had fun ruffling the paper fabric by Dear Lizzy for American Crafts. It does look like a skirt, doesn't it? It's fun and super easy to make. The chipboard butterfly is by K&Co that I had for a while and still hoarding it :) Hope you like it.

A little reminder on the Cutting Cafe giveaway.....you have until Thursday 11:59pm, May 13th (Malaysian time). Thanks for stopping by my lil crafty corner and hope you are having a great day!
                                      

Dream Come True

I just had to share this with you. Some of you who know me long enough knew that my dream is to get publish in CARDS magazine someday. Guess what??? That day has finally came!! I received an email from Alisha requesting two of my cards to be publish in the October issue. I am beyond thrilled!! I just want to say a big THANK YOU to you all for the encouragements and support you've given me throughout these years......(you know who you are)!!

Giveaway! Yay!

Hey there! I am back with another card featuring the new printable stamps by The Cutting Cafe called "Cute Critters". Since this is one of my favourite set, of course I had to pair it with my favourite paper from October Afternoon. They are like matchmade in heaven....lol :)

Regina is so sweet that she's having another giveaway !! How fun right?? Since I adore the "Cute Critters" set so much, I'll be giving this set out to one lucky winner! All you have to do is to leave a comment on this post by Thursday 11:59pm, May 13th (Malaysian time please) and I'll randomly draw a winner on Friday, May 14th.

Have fun and see ya!

WOOT! WOOT!

Woohoo! I am literally doing the happy dance right now!! Why you may ask. Because this card won the "Monochromatic" challenge at Caardvarks and this card won the "On Cue with Color" challenge hosted by Dawn and it's also a favourite pick by my dear friend Savitri! Wow...it's such a lucky day for me!

Today I don't have a card to share but instead I will show you a tag I made using paper by October Afternoon. Yes,  my love for OA is growing stronger than ever :) I combined a few other things like the die-cut ticket by Pink Paislee, chipboard bird by American Crafts and lace by Maya Road. I bought the twill from Carly a while back. The thing I love most other than the paper is the pink vintage button that I had in my stash. Lovely!

A BIG THANK YOU for all the lovely comments that you all left on my blog!! You sure know how to brighten my day! I love y'all!
