A Birthday Card

Well, I made this card very quickly, as it had to be sent today. Only within 15 minutes... This card is for Grace, my bestfriend in the university. We haven't met for ages, but we still have contacted with each other. I miss her and I always remember her birthday, December 2. Happy birthday, Grace.

HA Digikit Friends Definition and Tulips, HA Cling Butterfly

I actually distress the edges with distress inks. But..LOL... I used a square sponge, so the edge of the square echoes... I don't have that special tool for distress ink.

Gifts from winning the card challenge randomly

Around 3 weeks ago I won the card challenge held by Cupcake Craft Challenge. This is its announcement. I was surprised. I know it was randomly chosen, however, it was really something for me... This is the first time for me to win anything on my cards. I felt like a little child got candies..LOL...

And I may choose my own gifts from www.simonsaysstamp.com. These are that I chose. First I chose Tilda, then the poinsettia. To finish that amount, I chose the pearl. I was so curious about the HA pearl.

Wow!! Incredible... This is my first international swap that I joined. I sent 9 ATCs to HA hostess (Shari) in America. Then she sent me 9 ATCs from 9 different person. I wish to know where they live. So, I searched in the Flickr and found some of them. I even got ATC from Israel!! That's the country I wish to visit some day. Here are the ATCs, including mine, in the upright corner.

Thank you to Hero Arts that made this swap possible. Thank you Shari, for your effort.

We Love Heroarts - Mini Meet

After 3-hour travelling by train, I arrived at my Mom's house yesterday Sunday morning. I prepared everything, including the snacks and venue. Then I waited for my friends. The first batch arrived at 10 in the morning were Monika, Ayu and Rini. Next was Stephanie Lucy. Next was Eva, then Yussy, Rieka and the last was Fika.
We were 9 girls who adored making cards. Each of us has a special interest in cards. For example, Rini and Lucy enjoys quilling. But since they met us, they tended to try some stamps as well.

Here is some of us with the "We Love Hero Arts" banner. LOL. I made this myself in instant. We showed all the clear stamps and clings that we jut got and we brought here.

Left to right: Eva, Ayu, Me, Rini, Monika, Fika, Rieka.

We did not only make cards but also were exchanging stamps, nesties and cuttlebug folders. Everybody was free to use every single tool we had yesterday. We even exchanged our stamped images (I have Anya images now). It seemed that my Cuttlebug machine was a primadona. They had to queue to use it... LOL... Here are our nesties and some of cards we made. The cards made based on the sketch of Mojo Monday. I had posted my other card for the challenge. Maybe my other friends would finish the card embellishments and posted it last night.



Since I came from other town, I didn't prepare for the lunch. So we decided to order some Chinese food. This is the noodle that I ordered. So yummy...

We enjoyed our togetherness. They seemed wanted to stay longer and longer. However, their husband picked them up at the hour they asked, so they had to go home. The last person was Monika who left my Mom's house, around 6.30 in the evening. She even managed to take a picture with my Mom (my 70-year-old adorable lady)

What a card crafting day!!

Thanks for looking.

Joy To You and Peace Deer

My English might not as good as I thought. LOL. It took days for me to understand the meaning of "trimming", as a challenge in this week Hero Arts. Looking at the cards and decoration given in HA blog didn't make me easily grab anything to decor my cards. Wow... what an English word..



Thanks for looking.

Leaves Merry Christmas

This leave stamp is part of my first stamps I bought long time ago. I bought it in 1986, when the PSX store was still in Jakarta. I love this leave stamp, as I think, here in my country, I don't have to wait for these last months to use it. Any time I can use it.

Hope my card meets the sketch..

Happy Holidays

Hi there, it's been a week that I don't post anything here. So busy with other stuffs.
A couple day ago, I read on Lucy's blog and she challenged us for the first time. The colors used are pale pink, aqua blue and kraft. I don't really have aqua blue on anything I have here. So hopefully this card can represent the colors of this brand new challenge. Thanks Lucy for the chance of showing what we make...

Merry Christmas Deer on Red Card

LOL... another deer card.. As I said, I am falling in love with the deer... I tried to use the red card. It was embossed first with Dots folder. It went also for the small green inside the rectangle. The rectangle was cut with the Nestabilities Label 8. Wonderful tool. I love it. The circle was punched with Scallop Circle from Paper Shaper then embossed with Snowflakes folder.

Deer and Snowflakes

I love this stamp. It just arrived, the deer stamp. Love it so much. And it is much better, when the Copic marker also arrived almost at the same time. Perfect, though the deer only has one color. I used CB folder dots and snowflakes. The snowflakes were punched with Paper Shaper Giga Punch. (I love everything big..LOL..)

I enter this card for Challenge 65 Snow Much Fun in Cupcake Craft Challenges. I adore the snowflakes. I have 3 snowflake punch but this one is the best I adore.

I made 4 cards today, and this is the last one I made... You know what? I saw Virginia Lu's blog which appeared first in my Adorable Blogs. When I clicked, wow.. she made a cute card using this sketch. That's why I also wanted to make a card using the same sketch. Here is her blog where she made the card..

I enter this card for Card Patterns challenge Sketch 39.

I used Creative Memories Cutting System to cut the semi circle. The look of the shell, actually was an oval scallop. I cut a bit at the bottom. And then embossed with Thanks folder, but before being embossed, I scrolled my brayer to the folder with Mango Ink. Well..well, my brayer is new, so this is the first time using it.... The leaves wer punched from Punch Bunch Giga punch. (I like everything big...LOL...)
