CRAFTER'S LIFE

Day 22 - Hello

2012-02-10T11:56:00.008+07:00

Hi friends,

Me again..

This Friday morning, I again woke up so late.. Hehe. Still jetlag, I guess. I tried to sleep at the time at night, but I still couldn't close my eyes until over midnight. I guess I fell asleep around two in the morning. I woke up just to make sure the kids go to school properly and then went to bed again. That's the mistake.. Hehe.. But, my eyes... oh...

So, to make me awake, I keep telling myself about the commitment of A Card A Day. LOL... These are the tags I made today, with the birds on them.

Supplies: PTI Stack dies, MFT Tag Dies, PTI leaves stamp, SU Bird punch, Hero Arts sentiment stamp, The Twinery and local ribbons.

These are the closer look on each of the tags:

These will go to the lady chosen by Deborah, in February 2012 Card Chain Challenge. So glad that I can join again, after missing the event twice. I chose the theme: Birds (in honor of the Great Backyard Bird Count (Feb 18-21). Hope the lady enjoys these tags. All these three will be given to her.

Challenge:

Let's ink It Up #20 - Ribbon

Ok then, until tomorrow..ups.. I won't be here tomorrow, so meet again on Sunday...

Thanks for your lovely comments, friends.. Bye..

Day 21 - Life Is What You Make It

2012-02-10T11:38:00.006+07:00

Hai friends,

Yesterday was so busy. My assistant and I prepared all the things for the clay workshop in Ponorogo, East Java (10 hours by train). There will be 700 kinder teachers on Saturday workshop. So, the materials prepared should be at least 160 packs. Oh.. what a job!!

I made this card very late evening, around 10.00 p.m. And I couldn't post it, because the wi-fi in the housing complex has blocked the blogger sites. So sad about that. I can see my blog, but I cannot sign in. So this morning I managed myself to upload it.

Here it is.

Supplies: Hero Arts Cling Music Background, PTI X'mas Label & butterflies dies, MFT Rolled flower dies, handmade pins, The Twinery, MFT sentiment, Distress Ink Forest Moss.

This is the closer look on the butterfly:

I love that sentiment coming in the set. So versatile set of sentiment from MFT. I got it as a bonus from December purchase. I do agree with that sentiment. Yes, I love music and I can't live without music. I always always always listen to the music, either gospels or instrumental songs, or even just listen to my daughters playing piano, guitar, or recorder. I myself always play one or two musical instrument every day. At least 15 minutes a day. That keeps my mind in balance after a hustle and bustle of everyday chores. This will keep me think that I'm lucky in this world and am always thankful to Jesus for the life He's given me. You know, happiness is when we are thankful for everything we encounter in every single moment in our life. Do you agree? ;D

Ok, that's for this card. See you again later for today's card. Thanks, friends.

Day 18 - Missing You All The Time

2012-02-06T10:00:00.005+07:00

Hello friends,

My trip to Mediteranian was fabulous. For me, it was an amazing tour. We spent 11 days there. We flew to Dubai then to Madrid, and continued to Toledo, Zaragoza, Barcelona, Andorra, Lourdes, Montpelier, Marseille, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Nice and Paris. 11 days, 4 countries, 12 cities, 7 hotels, 3 stadiums, 10 different restaurants, and so many tourist objects, and most of all much much souvenirs we bought. ;D

This is one of the pics in Toledo, a small city near Madrid. It's me and my DH. Beautiful small city. Barcelona is also a lovely city where I ate "Paella".. Hmm..

This one was in Monaco. Woohoo, so many luxurious cars. I was amazed with the beauty of the parks in Monte Carlo, and also in the palace.

And this one was taken when I revisited La Tour Eiffel. It was 0 degree Celcius, and I took off my overcoat, just to show the "batik" that I was wearing. "Batik" goes to Eiffel.. Hehe..

Ok, that's all about the trip, though actually there are so many things to tell and to show. ;D

Back to the track, I made this card this morning. I was inspired to make this kokeshi (again), after I bought the book in Paris. The kokeshi was free hand cut, without pattern. Well, I'm back to track, back also to Japanese crafts that I ever enjoyed.

Ok, that's all for today. See you again tomorrow. So glad that I can make a card a day again.. ;D

Day 17 - OFF to Mediterania

2012-01-24T10:00:00.000+07:00

Hello friends,

I am here to tell you that I will be absent for the next 12 days. I'll be flying to Madrid via Dubai, then to Zaragoza, Barcelona, Andorra, Lourdes, Nice, Monaco and will be flying back from Paris. I will accompany my DH to those amazing places. It's a business trip for him and the wife should come along. We will be another 4 couples. In Paris, DH will join a meeting in Schlumberger. Yes, he is a Petroleum Engineering in oil company in Indonesia.

I'm quite sad that I won't be able to make cards to fulfill my wish for "A Day A Card". In those places, I presume there's no craft stores. I asked my French friend, she said she has all the crafts tools by buying online. Well, I think it's time to forget a bit about crafts and enjoy the trip, the scenery and the beauty of each place.. Moreover, it's a good time to rebound the chemistry between me and my DH. Hahaha...

So, before I go, this is my card for today. As I ever mentioned in my post in the past, I adore Dawn McVey's creations. I occasionally make cards just like hers; or just got the sketch and used the stash I had. So easy but pretty (in my eyes.. LOL). This one was also inspired by her card using this stamp set.

Suplies: PTI Stamp set

And these are the details on the "stamps"

Thanks for viewing my creation. Meet you again in February 5. Bye, friends....

Day 16 - Wishing you happiness

2012-01-23T10:00:00.001+07:00

Happy Chinese New Dragon Year

Hello,

How's the celebration in your place? Was it festive? In my town, it's so wonderful. I could see the "Barongsay" and the "Liong" (dragon), coming in and out the Chinese stores in China Town. So crowded and so fun.

Here is the card I made today. I love the image. This and yesterday's stamp came just in time. I am soooo glad... I used glitter glue on the 'barongsay' mouth and eyebrows. So cute, right?

This is the closer look on the image.

Look at the charm I used here. It's a fish. Hehe.. I think the Chinese cooks fish, too, on that celebration day.

Once again, wishing you happiness always... Happy Chinese New Year for you who celebrate it.. ;D

Day 15 - Celebrate - Chinese New Year Eve

2012-01-22T10:00:00.005+07:00

Happy Chinese New Year Eve

Hi friends,

It's my debut in violin!! Voila, after 4 months learning this instrument, I got a chance to show my ability in public. It's Yamaha Music Concert. It's a great time for me.. What do you think? I start learning this at the age of 44+.. Never too late to learn, right?

And, as I promised yesterday, this is my card for today. And I showed you this very cute stamp. Oh, in love with this.. This is one of the newest stamps I received yesterday. Just in time for the celebration. I don't celebrate this event. But, I live in a town where there are many Chinese live here. I use a gold card stock. The ornament of the mizuhiki is the one I got from a Japanese envelope. So pretty, isn't it?

Supplies: SS stamp; Mizuhiki cords; Copic.

This is the closer look on the stamp.

Have a celebration, my friends...

Day 14 - Whether it's the best times or..

2012-01-21T20:25:00.005+07:00

Hello friends,

Today was absolutely the most hectic day ever this week. Ohh... even I could manage myself to make the card after dinner time.. ;D And it's only the simple one. My mind keeps flying everywhere, to the tomorrow concert, to the trip to the mediterania.. It seems 24 hours a day is not enough. Hehe.. But, I remember the verses in the Bible, in Matthew 6:34 - "Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient." Then I feel relieved, and took my time to relax by making a card for today.

This is my simple card.

Supplies: Hero Arts stamp; ribbon

Thanks for looking, friends. And for tomorrow... I will show you a card with an image of Chinese New Year eve.. Wootwoot.... Just wait...

Day 13 - Just a little note

2012-01-20T21:43:00.007+07:00

Hello friends,

Meet again. Oh my.. It was still in the morning when I checked my yahoo emails. I checked to see whether there were still participants sending me the image of their cards to join the challenge I conduct every month in my Facebook account, Dwita's Crafty Crafts. Then I found an email from Dawn, telling me whether I am interested in becoming their DT. Wow! What a surprise. Of course, I want to.. Wootwoot.... Soo glad... It's a challenging, though. Because usually it is me to conduct my own challenge (without any DTs..hehe), and now I have to make creations based on the theme given to me. Thanks Crafting For All Seasons for this wonderful chance.

It is still a busy day, practicing violin for the concert this Sunday, accompanying the kids to practice choir for their performance tomorrow morning, having my hair cut.. LOL...

I made this tags in the morning. The leaves stamp is actually not new, but this is the first time I used it. So pretty. And the sentiment stamp (that I chose randomly from the drawer) seems to tell me about the notice from that blog. Take a look...

Supplies: PTI tag die, sentiment and leaves stamp; Carla flower punches; The twinery marraschino

I'll meet you again tomorrow. I need to take a rest for tomorrow, as so many things to do, to attend and to take care of.. Bye now.. ;D

Day 12 - Happy Valentine's Day

2012-01-19T22:10:00.011+07:00

Hello friends,

I am not a Chinese. I, actually, don't celebrate Chinese New Year, of course.. But, I live in a town where the influence of Chinese tradition exists. C'est pas grave.. J'aime bien ca.. I like all cultural traditions. So, my daughter is going to join an event to celebrate that day. And me, join my DD to practice singing.. I just managed myself to make this card this late evening in my craft room. I made this card for a valentine card exchange program held by Anita in Hero Arts Flickr group. My card will fly to Robin Kubasik in New York, USA. I used all Hero Arts stamps from 5 sets. I used Victorian Velvet distress ink. Love that color on this pink card stock. These are my favorite combination of pink. And the sentiment was stamped using Rich Cocoa Memento ink.

Supplies: Hero Arts stamps; PTI label and tag dies; Heart punch; The twinery twine; some blings and big button

This is the closer look on the elements: The big button is one of my favorite embellishments, besides the half crystal and half pearls. But this kind of big buttons has been forgotten for long. Yesterday I needed something 'bling' and big. Voila! I found this pretty thing.

And together with the envelope:

Challenges:

MTTC - # 171 fave embellishment. (25/01)

Truly Scrumptious - #72 Something Forgotten (23/01)

Creative Inspiration - # 146 Fave color + white (23/01)

So tired, and need good rest. Good night from here, but have a good day to you all...

Day 11 - Hello Friend

2012-01-18T18:28:00.004+07:00

Hi friends,

I couldn't make a card in the morning as usual. I had to go to the radio to record the English Corner program. I recorded 2 scripts for two times. It took me some time in the studio. Then after that, I had to join ladies' program, that is to attend the ceremony of inauguration the chief of the ladies in the sub housing complex. So far away, 45 minutes by bus. I arrived home at about 4.30 in the evening. I took a rest for a while and then I went to the gallery to make some cards. So, for today, I made a mini card just a quarter of the A5.

Supplies: SU! embossing folder; CD leave die; Paper Shaper punch for the layered flower; The twinery twine; Hero Arts sentiment stamp.

See you again, friends...

Day 10 - The Time Is Always Right

2012-01-18T09:20:00.004+07:00

Hello friends,

I was fully hooked yesterday with some activities that I couldn't post this card. It should be posted yesterday. I made this, because I had done a little "scarf" from three colors of twines, and really wished to put it in this dress form die cut. At first, I wanted to do a monochromatic card. But, I was interrupted by the red color. Added another leave die cut and buttons. Too crowded? Here it is

Supplies: B&W pp from 7Gypsy; PTI dies for the dress form, the tag 5 and the fence; DC leaves die; Hero Arts Time stamp; MFT sentiment stamp

Thanks, friends. See you again very soon for today's card.

Day 9 - Creating Yourself

2012-01-16T11:23:00.005+07:00

It's me again,

I just finished making this card. Doily is my favorite thing in making card, whether the real doily or the stamped one. To promote the circular tag in my petite crafts gallery, I made this card. And the pin.. oh, it's so easy to make. I just used pins and added two pieces of little charms. Glued them with the strong glue. The sentiment itself is so versatile. I can use it for any occasion. Do you agree with that sentiment, don't you?

Supplies: PTI dies: Tag 5, Christmas tag and butterfly; MFT sentiment stamp, Cheerylynn design for the doily die; CB embossing folder distressed stripes.

The closer look on the elements:

Thanks for looking friends. See you again tomorrow. Keep me in prayer that I can make a card a day, as I committed for that.. Hehe...

Day 8 - You Fill My Heart With Love

2012-01-16T09:47:00.006+07:00

Hello friends,

Again I didn't post this card yesterday. The wi-fi was not working so well yesterday. You know, on Sundays, I stay at home after church, not going to the gallery. And yesterday, I had a siesta. hehehe... Wonderful time to recharge all the energy.

In this card, I used pale grey card base. Did some embossing on the first layer on the base card. The stamp of love is the free gift that was attached when I bought a card magazine last year. This time seemed the right time to use it. In the pack, there are 3 love shape stamp. So lovely. The sentiment is actually not for this Valentine's day ambiance. But it fits, I guess. The small punched hearts, I think, a little bit playful with the twine there.. So, this is my card.

Supplies: PTI mat stack 5 die; MFT sentiment stamp, The Twinery Maraschino twine; heart stamp from the Card Making mag; PP I forgot the brand; white pen that I bought in the store in HK.

And take a look on the elements on this card.

Challenge:

Hello friends,

It's a tiring day for me. I got a backache, and couldn't do much things. I've just been massaged and I feel much better now. I managed to make a card for today. It's about white and white with a little other color. Lovely. Take a look.

Supplies: Stampin Up! Lattice embossing folder; Mat Stack 4 from Papertrey Ink; Hero Arts stamp for the flowers and the sentiment; pale pink ribbon and blings

Hi friends,

This is the final post for today (the 3rd..LOL). Today is the 6th day of the commitement "A Card A Day". I happened to put Dawn Mc Vey's blog in my blog under the heading Challenge Blogs. She works adorably on all her creations using Papertreyink products. Along the way, I found the name Maile Belles on her blog. I surfed her blog and found 'wow' creations of her. This card was inspired by her card. You know, I am not a kind of person who can get the idea just like that. I need inspirations a lot. Here, I used my newest stamp from Hero Arts. Take a look.

Supplies: Hero Arts Stamp; buttons

Day 5 - Wake Up Every Morning

2012-01-12T20:50:00.006+07:00

Hi friends,

I'm back again for today's post. I'm happy to receive a package from PTI. They sent me the dies I ordered; old and new reveals from the stores. What amazed me, I didn't need to pay the Customs charge. And what amazed me most was that PTI also gave me a stamp set of "Thanks" along in the package. And you know, it's written "Limited Edition". And I just read in one of the DT's blog that this stamp was only produced to be given to the 1,500 customers who buy December Release and it is not for sale. Ouch.... pinched myself, and it's real!! Thanks so much, Nichole... Shall order the heart border, then, later on.. LOL.. shopping never stops. Somehow, the stores where I purchased my craft things are generous stores; Simon Says Stamp, The Twinery, My Favorite Things, Cheerylynn Designs, Ohmycrafts...they are so generous. Hehe, so many stores? Yes, love them all.

Today is the sixth day of "A day a card" commitment (don't get bored I mentioned this many times..). It's just a CAS card. Love the sentiment. It's a free gift from MFT Stamps. And the girl stamp is from Penny Black. Ohlala, pity her, it's the first time I used the stamp. It was kept that long in the drawer. So, this "A card a day" will force me to find more left-behind stamps and use them to the most. So here is my card. Take a look.

Supplies: MFT sentiment stamp, Penny Black girl stamp, ribbon

Ok, friends, until tomorrow.. Have a fabulous day.

Day 4 - Just Saying Hello

2012-01-12T10:22:00.008+07:00

The closer look on the elements:

I stamped the line background from Hero Arts on the card with versamark and on the envelope with Victorian Velvet ink. The butterfly die is the one I adore most. I used it and even shared the result with some friends. On the envelope below, I also stamped the PTI leaves. I send this card to my Flickr friend in the USA, Arlene. Hope she likes it.

Then I made another one, with this embossed cardstock. I used my new embossing folder from Stampin Up!. As I said in the previous post, it's not that easy to get anything from Stampin Up!, as I live in Asia. So, I'm so grateful for having this one.

2012-01-08T21:08:00.006+07:00

Hi friends,

Starting today, I'm convinced myself (wootwoot..) to make a card a day... I know it's such a ridiculous resolution in this new year.. But, why not? The title of the album in my facebook is "A Card A Day Keeps .... Away". It's from a quote "An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away".. Hehehe...

So this is my first card for this album.

Supplies: CB Houndstooth to emboss the white cardstock, PTI Stack 2 for the marron label and the leaves, felt flower, sentiment stamp is from MFT (a free gift ;D)

Thanks for looking, friends..

Wishing You Happiness Today and Always

2012-01-06T19:11:00.009+07:00

Hello friends,

My sista asked me to make 40 unisex cards for all employees in the office where she works. She's a dentist; besides being a lecturer, she's also the secretary in the Dentistry Faculty. This new year she wants to start with something new. It's good for her, good for the other employees, and also good for me.. ;D

I made these very-easy-to-make cards. I just simply change the colors of the ink pad. I used Ranger Distress inks such as Victorian Velvet which is my favorite color. I made 10 cards with each color.

I love the doily stamp from Hero Arts. I think I've used it so many times. It's so versatile. The sentiment is from Stampin Up! These style can save time if we need to make mass-produced cards.

Here they are:

Thanks for looking and your lovely comments. Until then..

Hugs and Kisses

2012-01-04T14:04:00.013+07:00

Happy Christmas

2011-12-25T01:09:00.005+07:00

My last card set for this Christmas. One was flying to France. I like this Snowflake cling from Heroarts. If you want to make mass-produced cards without consuming time and energy, this stamp is a very good choice. Because it can stand by itself. Tell me if I am right.. ;D

This is a pocket card that I entered for Heroarts second round challenge of this month. Click here for more info. The snowflake and the three-line sentiment is from Heroarts. And the small sentiment on the corner card below is from Papertreyink. THe twine is from The Twinery. I enclosed three packs of Christmas color twines and three pieces of pattern papers. Hope my friends are happy receiving my x'mas cards..

Happy merry Christmas to you all. Be blessed to bless others.. Jesus loves us sooooo much...

Challenge: Heroarts December2011B.

Scrapbooking in frames

2011-12-22T20:49:00.011+07:00

Last month my close friend asked me to make some scrapbook frames for the ladies in our community. Actually, it's only the frame. But come to think of it, we decided to put in some photos of theirs. Here are what I made for them.

I used many die cut outs to decor them. I love those versatile dies that I have. The flowers are from My Favorite Things die. The leaves, tags and the butterflies are from Papertreyink dies. The fern are from Cheerylynndesigns dies. THe birds are from Marianne dies. The words: ept, are from Stampinup! dies. The border leaves are from Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment are mostly from Hero Arts and Papertreyink. The twines are from The Twinery. The background papers are from Ledger Pad of Prima Marketing. So pretty. I love the papers.

Well, these are just 4 frames among 30 frames that I made. Hope these ladies enjoy what they see.

Just A Little Christmas Note

2011-12-19T22:20:00.008+07:00

Helllloooooowwww..,

It's been sooo long.. I couldn't post anything, as I was very busy teaching at junior high school for almost 2 months. It really took my energy to do some crafting. So, today, I managed myself to enjoy the Christmas ambiance with my kids and my students. These students are the ones who have ever joined English course with me for more than 5 years (at the gallery). As usual, at the end of the semester, we spent time for cooking. We made some chocolates today.

After lunch (I treated them lunch box from Hoka Hoka Bento), they made milk box and decorate theirs with poinsettia. Actually those poinsettias were the ones that I couldn't sell. There was a wrong way in gluing each part. But, for these kids, anything pretty is fine for them. ;D

These are the kind of milk boxes they made. These two are for my other students who couldn't come today due to their health.

Supplies: Big Pro Milk Box Die from Sizzix, Poinsettia from Marianne Design, Pattern Paper

And after they left me, I managed myself to make these cards. I was inspired by one of Maile Belles's creations. As I did these at home, I didn't have my embossing folder to emboss the white paper before the dark blue doily. But, that's fine.

Supplies: Cheery Lynn Design French Pastry Doily, EK Success circle punch, Maraschino and Peapod Twines of The Twinery. Sampin Up! label punch, Mc Gill Holly punch, Papertreyink Christmas Signature sentiment

These two cards are for my friends, Jacqueline in France and Vera Rhuhay in Surabaya. I'll post them right away. Hope the cards arrive on time. And they will like the card.

These creations are for these challenges:

Cheery Lynn Design: 'Tis The Season (26/12)

Dream Valley Challenges: Christmas (07/01)

Charizma Cards : Last Minute X'mas Makes (22/12)

Delightful Challenges: Anything Goes (22/12)

Paperplay Challenges: Christmas (04/01)

Stampin For The Weekend : Christmas (23/12)

Ok, then, thanks for reading and viewing the creations. See you again later.

Christmas in Shapes

2011-10-30T17:28:00.006+07:00

Hello friends,

I want to post this picture of Christmas cards, using die cut and punches. I love die cut so much. The poinsettia is from Marianne dies (LR0142). I bought them last year. The big poinsettia (LR0122) had been used here. Love to make cards which are not rectangular.. ;D

I enter this to join Marianne's Design Divas challenge : Dying to diecuts. I am dying that I have more than 15 packs of her adorable diecuts. Check for another Christmas card using her diecut here.

Thanks for your lovely comments...

Sometimes You Pick Your Friends - Oct CCC

2011-10-19T22:02:00.005+07:00

Hello friends,

It's quite hard time for me these days, being a real SAHM, as I was having a nanny previously. I "stole" little time to create this to join October CCC. Hope the recipient will like it... As always, I could only manage to make according to the theme: Friendship.

The Tulips stamp is from Penny Black. Butterfly and border dies are from PTI. Love their dies so much. This card was inspired by Jenny Suchin's card in Wee Memories. Still far from the original design, though. ;D

Thanks for looking.

Vintage TAG

2011-10-13T22:52:00.011+07:00

Hello friends,

Meet again after some time. It's quite busy here at home. The helper went home and I had to do all the hustle and bustle as a real SAHM.. ;D. So glad to be able to cook again, clean everything, prepare everything, and manage my time among the house works, the schedules of the kids, the teaching at school and at the gallery, the serving the customers and the boarding rooms care. Do hope I always stay healthy, fit, and of course fun..

Here is one of the tags I managed to make today. I used PTI die cut to make the tag. It's adorned with some patterned papers from October Afternoon. I realized, that using the papers from one pad is much easier in combining colors and patterns. Adorable paper pad!
The butterflies are from a punch with no brand but it's awesome. It's a gift from my brother. He bought it in Paris!! So faaar away... The buttons are from PTI die cut. And the checked paper was punched with MS famous punch. Then I distressed it with Vintage Photo distress ink. I stamped the sentiment using PTI stamp. And finally tied it with a blue velvet ribbon.

Just For You - Fika's Birthday Challenge

2011-09-30T09:39:00.006+07:00

Hi friends,

I'm back..

I just made this card for joining a challenge held by Fika. It's her birthday challenge. Just click her blog.

This is my card that I made based on her card. I don't have that Hero Arts Hydrangea stamp. I'm longing to have that, too.. So, I used another Hero Arts flower. Love to emboss it and distressed the flowers. I embossed white powder on the kraft. It's the first time for me to color on kraft. I used 3 Distress inks to color the flowers. And I added some pearl gems. The leaves are die cut from PTI dies and embossed them with Swiss Dots from Provo. The background on the kraft, it was stamped with cling of Happy Definition from Hero Arts.

Hope you like it, Fika. I'm going to send it to you.. Happy happy birthday.

Thanks for looking.

Helo friends,

I made this card again, as I like the green color of the ribbon. And this is to join the CCC September 2011. Hope you enjoy this... This card is here.

The red flower was from the die set. Love dies... The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I curved the clear stamp a bit to fit the oval white cardstock.

Thanks for looking.

I am in Hany's blog

2011-09-02T09:00:00.006+07:00

Hello friends,

I just want to post this, as this amazed me. My friend Hany, who lives in New Hampshire, USA, and her DH, Bill, visited me some time ago to my town, Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. She stayed two nights in my house and we spent time together. Hany also visited my craft gallery, and she specially wrote it in her blog. Amazing. Please have time to click the blog and read it. Hany ever wrote about me to begin her blog 2 years ago. Check it out.

Here are the pictures that I took. The first one was when I asked them to join me in the English Program that I host. We talked about their wonderful life in NH. The second one was taken when Bill showed his amazing ability in playing piano and I sang "The End Of The World" with him on the piano.. Woohooo....

Thanks, Hany, for writing about your trip to Cirebon and my gallery. See you again...

First Scrapbook Photo Album

2011-08-26T18:04:00.020+07:00

Updated, August 30. My Mom was soooo touched viewing each page of the album.

Wooohooo....

This is my first time making a scrapbook photo album. And it is dedicated for my Mom, who has her 72nd birthday. I used the papers from DCWV The Lace & Linen Stack. The color scheme is very pretty: pink, brown, light creme. Vintage? Perhaps. And to stay on those colors was not that easy. I really tried hard. I need to find all the colors that match the DP. I made this album in 2 days. I used Spellbinder dies on kraft cardstocks to make the pages.

This is the cover album.

I used CLD die cut for the butterfly and the swirly leaves.

The sentiment in the middle: 'born to shop'. That's right, for my Mom and me, always buy 'batik' cloths and clothes.

The back cover. Yes, I made it with LOVE for my beloved MOM.

New word die cut from PTI. Lovely.

I embossed the image with white embossing powder, and rubbed it with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink (with a piece of tissue.. LOL)

I used Staz-On to stamp the names on the button.

I inserted some other photos. There are 3 pockets in this album to accommodate the photos.

I used Hero Arts, My Favorite Things and PapertreyInk sentiment stamps for this album. The distress inks were only Victorian Velvet, Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutter. Wonderful colors to match the colors of the DP. I also used twines from The Twinery: blossom, cappuccino and honeydew. The dies are from various companies that I adore sooo much...

The wire binding was free. The store owner said, it was free just for me. Oh, my..they are so generous.

Thanks for viewing my creations. I hope you enjoy what you've seen.

Hay, happy Tuesday..

While waiting for my hubby this late afternoon, I made this card. I saw a card with this design in Paper Crafts Magazine and thought of making one. I used the butterfly stamps which had laid in the drawer for long long long time. This was the first time for me to use them. The background cling stamp is new. I love this one. So versatile.

Just A Note

2011-08-08T23:24:00.005+07:00

What??? Two months were away without blogging? Ohlala....

And I am in love seeing someone's creations all in vintage colors. So I tried this one. Yes, I imitated hers a bit. Hope she doesn't mind. Mixing so many elements is a challenge for me. Wow!! It's quite a hard work to find the matching papers and colors. What I like, it's about using scraps. I have tons of scraps and it's time to use them. Hope these scraps go along perfectly. I am just not satisfied with the red flower. It should be bigger than it is.

I used Hero Arts stamp (Starburst Lace) for the red doily at the back. The doily in front of it was from Die-namic MFT. They are quite new in my craft room.. ;D

Ok, then, thanks for looking..

Wishing You Love & Laughter - for Aurell's Wedding

Hi friends,

Today, my crafter friend gets married. Aurell has been a friend since we were in Multiply. So happy for her that I will come to her wedding reception tonight at Semarang. I have to travel for 4 hours by train.

Here is a card I made for her.

Source: Hero Arts stamp, Cheery Lynn Designs Heart die, Marianne flower die

The colors are based on the invitation itself. Look at it below. She punched the border and the small card herself! How many MS punches did you spend, Aurell? ;D

And here is the gift I'm going to give to her. I can't reveal it until next week. LOL...

Friends, meet again.

I have a card in my file here and I haven't posted it yet for any challenges. This card is for my younger sista for her 40th birthday last April. She was very happy to receive this card. That's what my Mom told me last week when I visited her. Oh, I'm so glad she likes it.

This is one of my newest Tilda stamps. The flower is the one I bought in the store. I used kraft cardstock because I am still addicted to using this kraft. It can go with any colors, I think.

Hugs - Sparkle & Shine

2011-05-24T16:06:00.013+07:00

Hello friends,

As I said early this year, that I would add more flowers on my creation, here it is another card with a flower on it. Just a simple rolled flower. I used Marianne die to make this. I added Diamond stickles on the edge of the flower. I also sprayed Bubbles Glimmer Mist all over the front card. Though the card base is light pink, the sparkle and shine can give the card a pretty nuance. Even on the Hugs tag, it looks so covered with the shine. This is the first time for me to use Glimmer Mist all over the card, as I only used Glimmer Mist for the scrapbook project. What do you think?

This is the closer look.

And this is the look of the flower. See that the brown branch and leaves are also shiny because of that Bubbles Glimmer Mist. Oh.. what the first experience..

Recycling envelopes

Hi friends,

Surely you are familiar with the green sign above. As also a card maker, of course, I have some new papers and old papers. Big as 12'x12' and also scraps. Since I also enjoy sending and receiving cards from friends in this globe, I sometimes got envelopes which were plain outside but patterned inside. I want to share some cards which used a used envelope and turned it into flowers and leaves. Most of them were in rolled flowers.

Enjoy...

Hope you are inspired in using used envelopes and turn them into something beautiful.

Thanks for looking, friends.

Hi friends, meet again.

I haven't posted this card in the blog since some events occupied me these days. I love this silhouette image. This is from a new die that I just bought last month. I made myself the pattern papers. Just stamped two kinds of background cling from Hero Arts, and, voila.., new pattern papers. But I also used the ready pattern paper, the music notes. To make the card nicer, embellishments were attached: fern, leaves and flowers. I got these flowers from my friend, Evieta (Singapore). She sent me bunches of paper flowers, etc., etc. last Christmas.

Last Tuesday, I met friends of mine in Jakarta. They are friends of creating cards, crafts, etc. This time, we were fifteen!!! Wow!! So many new friends. We met at Facebook. We did some card making. I myself learned hybrid scrapbooking. It's a wonderful new knowledge for me. At the end of the mini (..or maxi?) meet, I gave each of them some goodies and a tag. Here are my tags.

I used some punches to create everything on the tags. The background was stamped with 'bark' stamp from Hero Arts. The sentiment was the one I really adore from Hero Arts, as well.

Challenge:
Simon Says Stamp And Show - Tag

Thanks for looking.

Just Saying Hello

2011-02-18T18:23:00.008+07:00

Hi friends,

Wow... how long did I miss posting here? I miss you and your comments so much. This is the card I made just now. I used my new die cut, a bird cage. It seems to me that anything goes with a cage is a vintage look. Well, not that easy to make a vintage look. So, I decided to make a monochrome card with a hint on the bird itself.

This is my card.

To embellish the cage, I used punch outs: leaves, gave distress ink. The flowers were stamped and cut. I added the bling-bling and some stickles to make it a bit shiny. I know, it doesn't turn that good.Or, I was not good enough to take the picture. ;D

2011-01-22T20:42:00.004+07:00

Hi friends.

I managed to make some cards today. This is the one that used digital image from Hero Arts. I chose a sewing machine image because I have this new edger punch from EK Success: Button Chain. Just to match it. This is an easel card. I think I'm quite addicted to make easel cards. It's fantastic, that the front card can be seen every time, because it stands just like a photo frame.

Hi friends,

I'm back again. Yesterday I went to Semarang, which was 5-hour travel by train. We met at Aurell's wonderful house. We met each other for the first time. Five of us really enjoyed the time together. Just look at the pics.

We learnt the watercolor stamping.

And amazed with the result.

Love the Pure Innocence stamps.

Look at that A4 Kutz machine.

Stop by at the ribbon store!!

Mini Meet Card Lovers (and makers, too)

2011-01-14T08:04:00.009+07:00

Hi friends,

I almost forgot to upload these photos. We met each other last week, January 5, 2011. We met at my Mom's house in Jakarta. The photo will tell us how much we enjoyed our time together. Before Jeane went back to Sydney, she demonstrated how to make a shaker card using Stampin Up! products. Jeane is SU! demonstrator who lives in Sydney. She's in Indonesian but a PR of that city. Isn't it adorable to have a friend who is a demonstrator of SU!

Prepare all the things.

Jeane demonstrated how to make a shaker card and also how to use a stamp-a-majig.

Jovita was amazed by Big Shot!! It's the first time for us to see that fabulous machine.

Eva was busy embossing card stock with my Cuttlebug machine.

Ayu is playing with new Stampin Up! stamp and ink pad.

Indah and Jovita were busy making cards and using the Big Shot!! What a wonderful tool.

Look at the shaker cards I made!! Wow!! Stampin Up! is adorable.

Before leaving, we all stamped any images from stamps that we don't have. That's fabulous.. LOL.

These are the goodies I gave each of them. The card was made of newest stamps of Hero Arts 2011.

See you again, friends.
Hope to meet you again, Jeane.
We did have a fabulous time.

Thanks for looking, friends...

Update: January 27, 2010, the set card has been featured in Hero Arts blog here. I am so thrilled...

Hello Flowers

2011-01-11T12:33:00.002+07:00

Hi friends,

This morning, I woke up with the idea of making this card. Masking it. I stamped the ivy leaves first, covered it with the cut ivy leaves, then I stamped the dotty background. I adhered my newest flower stamps and the newest sentiment stamp. I am addicted to stickles now, so I gave it on the edges of the flowers and on some dots on the card. All stamps are from Hero Arts.

For inside the card, I also did some masking with the same stamps. Added also the stickles. Hope you enjoy what you see here, friends.

Congratulations, Tilda

2011-01-08T16:35:00.007+07:00

Hi friends,

It's a lovely Saturday, isn't it? I just cleaned my craft desk, and then made this card come true. Since this morning, when I opened the challenges, I knew I wanted to make this card. It's been looong that I don't play with Tilda... How's life, Tilda?

Take a look at Tilda who is going to have her wedding..eh, engagement? Ah, at least for something new. Expecting new things in new year is also good thing to think of.

I curved a bit the "Congratulations" sentiment from Hero Arts, adorned her with some stickles on her dress, the bandana and her hair. And most of all, it's so relaxing, back to coloring stamp images.

First Challenge in Blogspot : A Set Of CAS

2011-01-07T22:50:00.008+07:00

Hi friends, meet again.

I managed to make these cards for a friend of mine who would fly back to Aussie. We met last Wednesday on a Mini Meet. We were 8. The story will be on the next post.

Just take a look on them. I used Hero Arts stamp and the watercolor markers. And of course the Mini Mister to spray some water on the stamp.

I put them all in this paper purse.

And this is the closer look on the flower. Isn't it lovely? As I promised myself that in 2011 I'll put more and more flowers on my creation, so I did this.

Kicking off the new year, I enter these cards to join PaperPlay Challenges Week One - Clean And Simple.

Ginger Candies for Christmas and New Year Celebrations

2010-12-22T15:45:00.011+07:00

Hi friends,

My DDs and I just finished packing some goodies for the Christmas and New Year Celebrations. We'll have a big reunion on Christmas day at my parents' in-law's house. So we made the ones with the Christmas tags. And for everyone who will come to my mother's house, will get the candies with Thank You's tags. These ginger candies are the best ones, I suppose. They are inexpensive and easy to get. Moreover, they are good for your health. Each plastic contains 10 pieces of candies. Here are the pics.

Hope everyone enjoy the ginger candies. Do you want some? Just leave your comment and email me your address, will you?

Sources: Hero Arts stamps for the front and local stamps for the back part.

And this is my card for today. Source: Hero Arts Stamps. See the shine on the scarf's doll. I am still addicted to using Glossy Accents...LOL... By the way, I made fifty cards like this one and they are now for sale on the Christian store in my town.

Joy To All - Silver, Blue and White

2010-12-21T16:17:00.012+07:00

Hi friends,

It's almost Christmas!!!

I thought I would not join any challenges until next year....LOL. Because I made almost 100 Christmas cards and I felt a bit "dizzy". But the challenge from Simon Says Stamp Challenge with the theme: Silver, Blue and White really demanded me to make this quick card. These are my favorite colors. I adore all colors, but white and blue seem to be my fave ones. And Silver, wow..all my jewels are made of silver. I love silver so much.

So, this is the card I made using my new Penny Black stamp set. I know it is not new in Penny Black, but I just managed myself finding this set in the store in Jakarta. Isn't it fabulous? Being able to buy stamps in store in Indonesia? Indeed, it's not that easy to find stamps here. We need to buy online or via friends who sell in Multiply or Facebook accounts.

More pic of the card:

I used the light blue cardstock, and the silver one. Sorry I can't take good pic for that. I colored the image with Copic. The scarf was colored with Popcorn Marker then I heat embossed it. So cute, right? The red bow was given a little Glossy Accents (still my fave stuff). The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Also join this for challenges:

November CCC

2010-12-07T18:55:00.010+07:00

Time flies soooo fast, friends... It's December now...

I just received this card for November CCC from Sharon Dunn - Canada last Saturday. This is her card. And she included some ribbons and brads. So lovely. Here are the pictures.

Well, what Sharon wrote on the post-it papers inside her card is really touching. This is what she wrote: So thoughtful. Thanks, Sharon, for this.

It also happened to me, as this was the first time for me to send my card to Johannesburg, South Africa, for Leonor Erwee. This is my card for her. I also enclosed some things for her.

I do hope she enjoys all the things..

I love joining CCC held by Deborah Nolan. She's awesome with this idea, sharing cards with other card makers in this globe.

Thanks for visiting..

PS: I put my card for Lee as the header on this blog, right after sending this to her...

Hello Swirl

2010-11-30T22:56:00.006+07:00

Hello friends,

I'm back from the town that I love most, Balikpapan, East Borneo... I joined the bazaar held by the Expats' Wives there, visited the house I occupied years ago, visited the campus where I taught 5 years ago, and of course, ate favorite food. I really enjoyed my time there.

Some quilling cards of my friend were sold out. Some of my vintage and Christmas cards were sold either. Here is the pic of my table.

And this is the card I made. The stamp is from PI. Well, not a good pic to focus on the hair. The hair was colored with Popcorn marker, a black one, then heated. It is popped.

Joy To All - Glossy and Crackle addiction

2010-11-26T15:35:00.007+07:00

Dear friends,

From the title I think you can guess that I am addicted to these two kinds of liquid. Yes... Look at the card below..

Look at the hat below. The white part was colored with Popcorn Marker. It was popped. So good. Then I applied the Crackle Accent. Not too bad...
And for the snowflake below, I applied Glossy Accent to make it shiny.

Love applying these two kinds of liquid on any embellishments I added on my cards...

Hi friends,

Been away for a while. I've made 26 cards with Pure Innocence stamps. They include this Christmas card. Lovely image, isn't it? And the flower, do you know where the paper came from? Well, I recycled the packaging paper. The inside of the packaging paper has this polkadot pattern. So, I didn't throw the paper but kept it and made some flowers with this paper. Lovely. The green lace is the newest lace I have right now. In the scrapbook store in the mall, I saw it was on sale for quite expensive price. I bought the similar lace with so cheap price but the quality is the same, in the retailer shop. Love it, since this green is my fave green.

Image was colored with Copic markers, and the white 'fur' on the hat was given l'il Popcorn marker

Have you made your Christmas cards yet?

Challenges:

PS: I have never thrown away the packaging papers and invitation envelopes as they can be recycled and turn into beautiful embellishments.

Hello friends,

This late afternoon, I managed myself to make a quick card. No..no.., I don't have MS board nor Scor Pal, to make the embossed grids on the white cardstock. I just happen to have a paper trimmer that has a surface to do this embossing.
Love the result. This surface has made me easier to make a fold on everything. Do I still need MS Board? Badly...LOL...

Look at the poinsettia. Isn't it gorgeous? And the leaves behind the poinsettia, wow.. so adorable, I think.. If you wish to buy some of them, just leave your comment here or you can go here.

I enter this to join Cute Card Thursday: Anything Goes and One Stop Craft Challenge 105: Embossing. And also the one in Flickr, in Die Cut Divas.

Hello friends,

Who doesn't like music? Who doesn't like crafts magazine? Who likes both of them? Me! Me! Me!..LOL. Yes!! The Papercrafts magazine showcased all the fabulous cards in the November/December 2010 issue. Love all the details on it. And the article about "For The Love of Music" really really inspired me to make some cards. Music on cards!! Wow!!

I imitated 2 cards with the stuffs I have on my stash. Making these cards really bring me enjoyment. I possess many new stuffs, so I tried to use them on my cards. I used Glimmer Mist and Versamark. Two adorable things that I can't stop using..

First is this one. It was on the magazine cover. This is how it looks on the cover:

made by Kelly Marie Alvarez

And this is mine:

And this is another one with the bird on it. This one in in the magazine:

made by Clouds Shadler

And this is mine:

I also made another two cards.

It's so glad to have such adorable magazine on hands and try to make the similar ones. That's the reason the magazine has been published, right?

Thanks for looking, friends...

PS.: The cards I made here are all for personal use. Hope the original designer don't mind.

Mini Meet with Card Lovers

2010-11-01T14:19:00.007+07:00

Last Saturday, I went to Jakarta to meet my fellows in making cards. We were in Rina Damay's place in Sudirman area. She has a wonderful place. Moreover, she has a walking closet which are full of.......stamps!! Also ink pads (complete Ranger Distress Ink Pads), Stickles, etc., etc. It's a real WOW!!! It was exactly a typical time of ladies who met together. Did we make cards? Not really!! LOL.

We did stamp a lot, punch a lot, read Magnolia mags, share where to buy these and those. And most of all, we ate a lot. At the end, we exchanged goodies. Wowohoo.. The pics will tell you what we've been doing.... Enjoy..

We are Hero Arts stamp lovers

A Card of CCC

2010-11-01T14:00:00.003+07:00

Hello friends,

This is a card from Anita Recksiedler, Canada. It's from September CCC. Thanks so much, Anita. Your card is so adorable. Yours confirmed me to buy Glossy Accent...LOL. So sorry, that I received this way. The paper was a bit loosing the image. Touched by water? And the envelope was opened and sealed with the cellotape. Well, that's okay with me. Look at the stamp, the flower on it is so beautiful. I treasure this all.

Thanks for looking, friends.

October CCC

2010-10-26T13:30:00.005+07:00

Hi friends,

Been a while not posting anything here. These are the cards for exchanging event in Deborah Nolan's blog: October CCC.

This is my card for Annette Hjerpaasen in Norway. I made it based on the sketch, the theme ( I chose friendship), and the colors. The colors mentioned were nutmeg, fawn, taupe, eggshell, burgundy. Tot ell you the truth, I am not familiar with names of colors. I only know colors of rainbow...LOL... I said to Deborah, what I knew was only burgundy, because my hair is in burgundy color now... ehkk...

And this is the card I got from Heather Doran in Ireland. She said that this is the farthest she's ever sent a card all the way to Indonesia... Thank so much Heather, for the pretty card, the rub-on, some gems and silvery string. Love them all...

I'm so glad to always participate in Deborah's CCC. I meet another card maker around this globe. We make new friendships every month, at least 2 new friends each month. Isn't that beautiful?

Thanks for looking, friends...

Cards With MS Border Punches

2010-10-15T19:32:00.006+07:00

Hi friends,

I have several MS border punches, and I made several cards with those punches. The purpose was to show my friends in Multiply account that they can buy those have from me. You know that MS punches are not that easy to find in my country since they are sold abroad and quite expensive.

Here are the cards. The bird card was adopted from one card in Papercrafts Mag, July-August issue.

Thanks for looking.

(PS.: If you need the MS punch-outs, you can go here)

September CCC

2010-10-15T15:49:00.004+07:00

Hi friends,

Been a while.. This is my card for Jenny Swords in Ireland, as I joined the September CCC held by Deborah Nolan. As I forgot the sketch and the color choices, so I just made the one with Friendship theme.
I used Hero Arts clear stamps for the swirls and the flower. Punches are from MS and PB. The white pen was the one from Pilot (I bought it not on purpose on my trip to Schenzen)

And the card below is the one from Rikke Poulsen from Denmark. I "met" her in August CCC.

Actually she was not the one who had to send me a card. We just did some swap. Beside this card, she also sent me some petite roses, paper flowers and colorful nets. So lovely. Thanks Rikke...

And I am still waiting for the card from the lady who was supposed to send me the card...

Thanks for looking, friends...

Autumn Pics by Barb Especially for Me

2010-10-11T23:04:00.003+07:00

Hi friends,

In the countries with four seasons, right now is Autumn. I ever mentioned that I've never seen any autumn happening in my country. Barbara, then, told me that she would upload the pics of the Autumn she would have in her country. And she did. She sent me a Flickr mail telling me that today she would post those pics.

When I went through her post, wow... I can tell you that those pics really took my breath away. So beautiful, indeed. I think Autumn is the loveliest season among those. You can see the pics in Barb's Autumn post. Barb is so thoughtful. She took some pics especially for me. I can sense that while taking those pics, she was thinking of me. That's so lovely, Barb.

I wish I were there once again to feel the moment of Autumn. (The first time coming to USA was on October, some years ago. Houston seemed not giving me lots of chances to feel that Autumn at that time. But I could smell the pine, see the squirrels and spend so much time walking).

Thanks so much, Barb...

Now, it's me who have to update all the cards made by us. Posting a photo in Facebook is seen only once and then forgotten. So, it is made purely to treasure them in one post.

Ayu - Jakarta
Dwita - Cirebon
