In Mood for Cards

In mood for Cards!

Let me show you a few Cards to chase away the Mid week Blues LOL! Apparently am feeling still blue although its Wednesday.

Have been a loyal fan of Cards Magazine and have subscribed to them for about a year now. Funny thing is I enjoy reading it so much but never really try using them whenever I wanted to make a Card. Strange right. I just love to see the work done by those amazing ladies.

So in order to put good use to the Magazine instead of it being an eye Candy I decided to “Cardlift” one of the Card inside. Is there such a word “Cardlift”? am now wondering.

Using the July 2010 issue, made this card for my couple friend who is celebrating their 3rd Year Anniversary today! Happy Anniversary!




Seeing the final results of the card. I love it so much! To top it up I am making good use of my sizzix 3D flower Die. The two yellow flowers are handmade using the die and the pink flower is from Prima.

Stay tune for another card soon i promise.

In Mood for Cards Part 2 - Step Up Card

Cards Cards and more cards, love making them and sending it out! it just feel so much more personalized :)

Enjoyed making this card below so much as it turns out to be such a fun page, after seeing Carole Janson Tuesday Technique on how to do a step up Card i just luv it.



will share more soon.

Amour

Paris always seems to give me have a nolstalgic feeling about it, having been there only twice its like the feeling that you seem to know this place well enough to let you feel that way :) probably since young movies always seems to stage the scene of a romantic place with the Eiffel tower and the city night lights.

Picture taken during our river tour along Seine river.


Supplies include K & Co Life Journey papers, Maya Road ribbon, crafty secrets stamps, Sixxiz Tim holtz alterations die, MS and Ek punches.


When i first saw the Tim holts sizzix die i was jumping with excitment as there are so many possibilities with this die. The good thing about this die is that it comes in 3 parts so that you can arrange it in any manner your want. What i did was to remove the regal crest that comes along with this set of die and use just the leaves and banner :).
when i first saw this sheet of paper from K&Co i immediately think of postage stamps. So out came the EK success postage stamp edge puncher. Love how it turn out, what do you think?


Cheers for now, going to make some birthday cards for my sister....

Prima Aug BAP

Finish this LO for Prima Aug BAP but was not satisfied with it, think something was missing. Somehow after sitting on the shelve for 2 weeks i decided not to change and submit it lol.




Really like the sentiments on the photo, " As we grow old together, As we continue to change with age, There is one thing that will never change, i will always keep falling in love with you.."


Love Prima Flowers and of cos the Flight of fantasy collection! Did you notice the background stamp i used, simply love how it looked.

Color Combo Challenge 156

This Week at Color Combo Challenge 156 the inspiration board is once again filled with challenges and excitement.

Look at the inspirational board


This week there is even a sketch along with the inspiration board! This really helps as this week challenge is to finish this LO within 1 hour! Isnt it exciting!

For more details visit their website and join along with their weekly challenges at  Color Combo Challenge #156

This is my take on the challenge, using my old stash of Three Bugs in a Rug - Spread your wings collection which somehow till now i have not even used any bit of. Cant find any pattern paper that is in the shade of blue that is in the palette so i decided to stamp on cardstock with my PTI stamp!


The sentiments on the sticker - "The Best and Most Beautiful Things in this World cannot be Seen or Even Heard, but must be felt with the Heart..." Therefore my title for this Layout is FEELING.

Love this quote somehow it makes me feel that it is so true and we have to look further then what the eyes can see and cherish every moment.

My Minds Eye LO

Did this LO from My Minds Eye using my precious Lush Collection which have been kept in my cupboard but i know i had to cut it up and used it otherwise its beauty will only remain in the cupboard :)

Lol i know i have been using most of my kept Lush collection lately, in order to find an excuse for more CHA items you just have to use up the old one.

Sketch from My Minds Eye


Here is my Layout that i did using Fluffy as my Main subject. Did you know that Dogs Smile! before having a dog i never did know that dogs have expressions but to my surprise they smile, sulk, smirk and even wink sometimes.
