Just Try it - Paper Ribbons

Hello to all,  today what I will be sharing will be on how to  maximise the use of all those punches that we have been faithfully "collecting". Punches are great  My favourite next to anything butterflies would be punches. i understand that it can be so addictive to see  new punches every now and then and you simply have to get your hands on it.

Since June is a month of wedding and birthdays, and I would love to give my friends some handmade cards or gifts for that personal touch which seems to be a dying trend with the popularity of the Internet. 

This is what i have made using a card case holder and misted paper ribbons using the MS boarder punches.

First of all I covered a name card holder box which I have previously kept with Crafty Secrets Classic Paper collection. After which i decorated the box with the ribbon that i have made using the punchers and handmade flowers and a tag to go along.

You can see the original transparent card holder above and 2 of my favourite Martha Steward punches. Have decided today to only use the one on the left today, probably will show in another post how to use the other punches which creates the prettiest decorated boxes.

 

Tips: Use printers paper (normally what we use for printing our documents) as it is thinner and much easier to fold around the box. On top of it since it is white we can make the paper ribbons in any color we want by using any brand of mist we have at home.  

Have chosen to work with Tattered Angels mist and you can see from the picture how well the paper ribbons have immersed in the blue.

Hopefully after reading this you would not look at the boarder punches the same way and used it as many ways as possible making the most out of it.

Prima Oh Prima!

Phew! but manage to finish this card on the last day of submission. Initially wanted to finish up a layout that i started off that matches with the Color palette but guess time is not on my side so did a card instead. Had wanted to do abit more layering on the card but i really really like this piece of paper from Madeline collection. No matter how i placed other papers on top i still did not want to cover the lovely details on the paper. So i guess sometimes simplicity is the beauty, added my other favourite collection Jack n Jill chipboard tag which fitted perfectly.  

Thanks for stopping by today.

Pretty Prima Palette

I just love the Romantic Color Palette Prima is showing off this time, purple is my favourite color and it is not difficult to see why. You have to see it to judge it yourself and i believe that you'll agree with me that the sweet pink and romantic purple are just wonderful together. To see more creations using the color palette see here the ladies have done such a great job!

I really like what Jamie Dougherty did with the dress form am so in love with it! would somebody be kind enough to let me know where to get a mini dress form?  

Thanks for stopping by!
 

Butterfly Love

How have your week been? its Wednesday finally midweek! with another 2 1/2 days more to the weekend hopefully i'll be able to scrap more. its back to more cards! love making them when days are limited to time arghh how i wish we had like 36 hours a day lol and then it would be 12 hours of sleep 8 hours of work and 8 hours of scrapping time 8 hours of spending time with family. Thinking back it would never be possible cause we spend way too much time at work....

Last weekend was great spending time with Mum and family over lunch and dinner laughing together, it feels so good.

This card is made for Mum as well as for the Websters Page May Day Challenge

 Misted the butterfly with TA Trunk Bay and then stamped the background using the Websters page "beauty" stamp. Love how it turned out somehow did not expect it to turn out this way as i thought background stamps were normally more repetitive and not created using only one image. Sometimes this is what i love about challenges it makes us step out of our comfort zone and "forces" us to create things unexpectedly!

Recently have been using my Websters page Stash that i have been "collecting" ever since. The thing is WP papers are just so SO so beautiful that i really cant bear to use them. Everytime i take it out i just stare at it and then put it away haha.  So this month my objective would be to create as many Layout or cards using WP! so that i can buy more! terrific plan right.

Thanks for stopping by today!
