Day 3 - Give Everything and Have No Regrets

Hi friends,

I had a wonderful morning in my craft room. When I entered it, it smelled lavender... Oh, the bag of lavender from Jacqueline still smells so nice. It lifted up my spirits (or excitement?) to make more cards.

Today is the third day of the commitment "A Day A Card". So, this is my card. A simple one, one layer card.

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.

Supplies: SU! embossing folder Lattice Square, Spellbinder Label 9, Zig markers, Hero Arts orchid stamp, MFT sentiment stamp, twines from The Twinery.

Day 2 - Start Your Day With "Whee"

Hello friends,

It's a second day of making "A Day A Card" resolution. This is my card for today. I saw a challenge with this bingo squares. I chose to use: ribbon, die cut/punch and embossing. Hope it fits. The oval die cut is the newest die cut I just received from My Favorite Things. So versatile. Love it. The leaf punch was the one I bought from Leonne Em. It flew so far away from Australia to Indonesia. A new one. The ribbon tag below, was the set that I bought long time ago but today was the first time I used it. Most of all, the new embossing folder from SU! You know, it's not that easy to buy any SU! products. I just happened to be able to buy this folder ;D

Day 1 - Life is too short ...

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

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..

Happy Christmas

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Challenges:
The Crafty Pad: VINTAGE
Stampacular Sunday Challenge 15/10: SO DISTRESSING

Just For You - Fika's Birthday Challenge

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.
