Day 7 - Thinking Of You

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

Challenge:

Stampin' For The Weekend - # 24 Out With The Old (26/01) - I used the pale pink ribbon from the ribbon stash..

Thanks for viewing my card. Meet you again tomorrow. Have a great weekend to you all.

Day 6 - Make Every Moment Count

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

The Key(s) to A Happy Life

I received my package just yesterday, the whole things from Papertreyink. The dies, the stamps, oh, gorgeous. I mentioned this in the previous post.

And I just finished making 2 cards using the newest border.

Day 5 - Wake Up Every Morning

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

Gee... I forgot to upload this card yesterday as my commitment for "A day a card". This card was inspired by Dawn's creation. So, here we go :

o

Supplies: PTI die cut for the stack, butterfly and leaves; PTI stamp; Magnolia die cut border; Carla Scalloped Circle punch; October Afternoon for the pattern paper

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.

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.

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...
