Hi peeps, happy Saturday!

Today, i'm back with a new creation for Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge with the theme: Shabby Chic.

Oh ya, did i mentioned that i love Pinterest so much? 

I love to check out projects and craft ideas from Pinterest whenever i'm free. 

Thousands of beautiful projects has been shared and you can follow my artwork if you wish too!

The image i used on my card is sponsored by Kith and kin stamp co. and her name is Ella, the Ballerina. 

I decorate the card with lace, paper flowers, pearls and ribbon.

Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #34: Recycle Something

Hello, happy Saturday to you. How is everyone doing?

Today, i'm back with my new creating for Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge with the challenge theme: Recycle Something.

The first though comes in my mind is to create something like recycle art/projects. But as i gather the materials in my scrappy room, i realize that i have so much of leftovers on my table and i decided to create something out of these paper pieces.

This is part of the leftover pieces i kept. 

I just don't feel like throwing the paper to dustbin even though it is just a small piece left over, and now i gonna use them to create a new card, amazing huh! :)

This is the background created with the leftover paper pieces. Love the colors appeared.

This is the final design for my card today. 

I used the image sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps, and she is Flora Fae. 

I colored Flora Fae with color pencils, and decorate with some paper flowers and stamp up the birthday sentiment.

Did you notice she have a glitter shining wings? 

Yes, you are right, I've applied some diamond stickles to her wings, love to see her wings have the glitter feel, reminds me of the Disney Fairies - Tinker Bell.

Hope you like my creation today.

Hello friends, how are you today?
It's Saturday again and I would like to inform you that Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenge is having a new challenge today, yay!

The theme for this week challenge is Winter Vacation Gateway.
As the weather in my country is tropical rainforest climate throughout the year, I don't really have the chance to go for a Winter Vacation Gateway, so sad! :(

Anyway, although i don't have the chance to enjoy the winter vacation, but you may consider to come to Malaysia for vacation as one of the activities you can do in March is participate in the International Hot Air Ballon Fiesta, which only held once/ twice a year.
And guess what, today we are starting the 2015 Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Putrajaya, what a co-incident!
This special event just give me an inspiration to create this card which is perfect for today's challenge!

 

Oh yay! Here is my card for today challenge.
This cute little Hot Air Balloon Birdie is sponsored by Doodle Pantry. 

 

Do you notice that I actually do a paper piecing on the image to create a 3D image on my card?

Be Brave, Strong & Courageous - CAS Card

This is my second post for today, something simple, something new for me.
I actually attracted by the new challenge - Addicted to CAS, which i found out yesterday and i would like to give a try.

To be frank, i don't really create CAS (Clean and Simple) card from the day i start to create handmade cards, but somehow it's new to me and i think this is fun to try on. Here comes the challenge theme for these 2 weeks.

Not only have the style of card to make, i also inspired by Unity Be Inspired Monthly Challenge for March and i decided to combine both theme together for my card. :)



I choose the stamp from Strength & Dignity KOM 11/13, and the sentiment from same kit - Be Brave, Strong & Courageous.

 

I've create this card with simple supply as Distress ink and stamp, and i decided to let it as clean as possible.

 

This is the CAS card i made today, do you like it?

Hello Little Baby Eryn

Hi friends, happy Friday to you!

Today, i gonna share with you all one of my project for my customer, a card for baby full moon.
I always love to create baby's card as the colors are very soft and cute!
Her name is Eryn, and this card is ordered by her grandmother in order to write a love letter for her. Awwww, so sweet!

I'm using the stamp from Unity Stamp Hello-little-one kit. 

In order to make it look like stickers, i have applied the glossy essence on top of the image.

 

Can you see the shinning juicy effect after applying the glossy essence?

 

This card is specially dedicated to baby Eryn, hope that she will love it when she grows up later!

Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #31: Luck

Hi hi, Happy Chinese New Year to all of you!
As I'm still celebrating the Lunar New Year now, would like to take this opportunity to wish all my friends have a prosperous new year and may all your wish come true!

This is my fifth project as DT for Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenge, and i actually didn't realize that time is flying off so fast, it's end of February and i have to admit that i didn't have much time for my scrappy moment! Guess i need to work harder in order to create more beautiful projects! yay!

For today project, i'm using the image sponsor by Dilly Beans Stamps called Crinkles Daisy Famed. This image is so cute and i just have an inspiration to create a Card in a Box the moment i saw from the website, too adorable!

As the theme for this challenge is : LUCK, i make my own clover with the heart shape puncher. I colored my image with Fine color marker and i cut out the image from the frame. :)

I adding the sentiment from Unity Stamp Wish with your heart sentiment kit, and i decorate the entire card with stickles, paper flowers, blings and some wood lady bird.

This is the view from another angle.

What i love about card in a box is you could fold/dismantle the card and insert into envelope whenever you want to give it to someone. This is so convenient and cool.

This is the view from top.

Don't you think this is so pretty? 

Hope you enjoy my project today.
