Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Emboss It

This beautiful silver-embossed card is done with The Ton Peony Background stamp. I just loved this stamp!

I triple-layered it with silver cardstock to give it depth and added a "Thank you" die-cut also in silver paper. 

This is one of my favourite cards!

Power Poppy - Feb Challenge!

Bringing Smiles!

This is my first Power Poppy stamp coloring. Just can't resist this beautiful sunflower. Going to frame this up and hang it in my sons' room!

Hope I can find time to color more Power Poppy stamps. They are all gorgeous!

TGF Farm Fresh Challenge 2

I made three more notebooks using the TGF stamps. I chosed the images based on their resemblance to my male colleagues, as these notebooks are their Christmas gifts. 

I had a lot of fun colouring the images and heat-embossing the sentiments for the back covers of the notebooks. I think I am going to create more of such  notebooks!

TGF Dec Farm Fresh Challenge

Front cover

Back cover

It has been a long, long while since my last post. I got back to a full-time job and started renovations for my home. With all these on my plate, my crafting and blog took a back seat.

I finally took had a little time to create this cute little notebook with one of the TGF stamps from the Christmas set.

I used Promarkers to colour the image, and added red and green glitter to the Christmas gift box. What's Christmas without red and green right? :)

For the back cover of the notebook, I heat emboss with gold embossing powder.

Teachers' Day Gifts

Wow! The month of August just flew by! I was busy with kids, housework and vacation that I did not get much crafting done.

Well, I had to sit down and do something now that Teachers' Day is round the corner on 4 September.

I started making cards last week, and had such fun trying various crafting techniques. Almost every card is unique, except for the two cards for my older boy's male teachers. Male cards are so hard to make! :p

I also customized some notebooks as gifts and had lots of fun embossing these meaningful sentiments on the book covers. It was magical to see the powder melt and change color. I am in love with embossing!

The notebooks come in embossed white, pink, silver and platinum. The platinum is my favorite. The color is sooooo pretty but unfortunately, I am unable to capture it on camera.

This is a CAS (Clean And Simple) cover in white embossing powder.

Another version in pink glitter

This is the biggest and longest sentiment stamp I have, again embossed with platinum powder.

A sentiment about courage embossed with silver powder 

That is all I have for today. Hope to be able to create more and update my blog again soon. Have a good day!

TGF July Farm Fresh Challenge

Good morning! Finally created another card after a while. :) This time, the card is for The Greeting Farm's July Farm Fresh Challenge: Red, White and Blue. 

I just purchased TGF's creeper crew stamps and love them! Since I couldn't decide which to use, I decided to make a centre-fold card and have the two images on one card. In line with the red, white and blue theme, I alternate the colours and attached the male image (James) to the left panel and Piper to the right panel. So, if I wish to see James, I'll fold the right panel down first and hide Piper behind him, and vice versa.

I also split the Happy Birthday tag and have "Happy" on top and "Birthday" at the bottom, on different panels. I dry-embossed the blue and red panels with a honeycomb pattern to add more details to the cover, else the card looks a bit plain.

I feel quite proud with the outcome. : )

Thanks for dropping by. Enjoy your day!

Celebrate in Paris!

Hello! It's been a while since I have posted on my blog. It's been crazy at home but I just had to make time to create a card with this Saturated Canary image when I saw their online challenge. I lovvvvve SC images. My coloring is not as good as those who have submitted but well, you never know till you try!

Copic colours I have used on her dress and hat are:

V000, R81, R83, R85, R89

I drew in some flowers on her dress, like the one on her hat and coloured them silver just to create some pattern on the dress. 

I am submitting this card for Saturated Canary's July Coloring Contest. Good luck to me!

Thanks for dropping by. :)
