UPDATE (with a card)
My kids (and I) are actually doing the countdown! LOL! And I never thought packing will be that hard. I have to make a checklist so as not to forget something not to mention the things that my siblings want me to bring back home. :) And that's the reason why I don't have the time to sit and stamp so I hope you understand. I will probably won't be sharing much of my craft work for a few weeks as I will be busy exchanging updates, chatting, strolling here and there with my family and friends during our holiday! Well I have to make the most out of it as I haven't seen them for 4 straight years! So, just imagine. ;)
Anyways, I was able to whip a card the other day and I just went simple as possible as I did this in-between the packing and house chores. :)
Look how simple it is! But I really like it. :) I just went all white with a touch of Purely Pomegranate. I embossed the horizontal panel with Cuttlebug Holly embossing folder and sprayed Glimmer Mist Pearl generously on it. Though you can't see it on this shot, IRL it's really glimmery. I stamped my sentiment directly to the card base with my ODBD Stamp Joy to the World set using Purely Pomegranate Ink. And YAY for me 'coz I already have the "new" Martha Stewart Floral Vine deep edge punch! Wohoo!! Would you believe I was able to purchase it here in Australia??? Yeah, I got it from LimeTart with the kind assistance of its owner, Philippa. Thanks so much Philippa!! I finished off the card with some Plum pearls (Kaisercraft) and Prima flowers that complement the card. I gave this card yesterday to my son's Speech Therapist as they will have a session break for the holiday and she so liked it!
So, what do you think??
This is all for now and thank you so much for visiting eventhough I don't post that much lately. Rest-assured that I will be popping in once in awhile to update you.
God bless everyone! Keep smiling! =)

Another Christmas Card
On to the card, this is just actually very simple as you can see. The dp is from Basic Grey Wassail and the sentiment is from AmyR Christmas sentiments stamps by CC Designs. I stamped it using Versafine Crimson Red, cut it with Labels 1 die, sponged around it with Versamagic Dew Drop Sage then Cuttlebugged it with Holly embossing folder. The flower is actually felt. Yeah, I tried cutting the felt using my Spellbinders Daisy Heads. And I liked how it turned out! I finished off the card by spraying Glimmer Mist Pearl onto the main panel, tying a satin ribbon around and putting 4 red pearls on the corners.
Thanks for visiting and let's altogether do the countdown 'til Christmas!! Just 23 more days to go!!
God bless us all. Until next post. :-)

TWO CARDS
Anyways, let me share you some cards that I made lately. I have received my Whiff of Joy stamps from Bec few days ago and Charlotte is so gorgeous that I couldn't help but ink her straight away and use her on these cards!
The first card is a Christmas card but I used the colours from the recent CC246 challenge.
The next one is very Christmasy and I used the Out of the Box technique here. (Charlotte's hair passing outside the frame). This challenge is from TLC247 challenge last week. (talking about being late here, lol!)

CC246 Be My Friend
My card is 5.5"x5.5" in size. I started with the white base, then the Bermuda (Core'dinations) and then with thise lovely plaid dp from K&Company Classic K Charlotte paper pad which I purchased from Windsor Cottage Botanicals.
The horizontal panels of Bermuda and Pretty in Pink were punched using Fiskars All A-Fleur embunch but the Pretty in Pink was Cuttlebug-embossed first with Divine Swirl then embunched afterwards. I don't have anything on my mind for the lay out so I went for a simple one. Image is from Darkroom Door and sentiment is from Jemac stamps. Both were stamped with Old Olive and sponged around it with Versacolor Pink Petals. The lovely pearl slider/buckle is from BizzyBecs which was made by the owner herself, Bec! Thanks Bec, they're really lovely. Btw, I sprayed Glimmer Mist pearl to the image panel but the camera just really couldn't capture the glimmer on the paper.
Good morning and happy Wednesday! (it's 1250am, Sydney time)

CAS42 Sponging with Butterflies
This sponging technique is actually a reverse masking. I'm so into the challenge but I was lost at first and didn't know where to start. I bet you also have days like this. So, I flipped onto my stamped images and stamps (which I organised on a 3-ring binder) and saw these cute butterflies from Darkroom Door Wildflower set. Okay problem solved. I did the sponging first (using the negative side of the Labels 1 die cut as the mask), stamped the butterflies, coloured the biggest of them all, stamped the sentiment then finished off with 3 layers of assorted flowers with a Basic Grey pearl on the centre. Quick, clean and simple.
What do you think?
Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!

WT245 Give Thanks
So here is my share for the challenge. Looksee..
I had a hard time putting this card together as I actually started with it 3wks ago. Well, I really wanted the colours and the dp but I was thinking on what image stamp to use or if it really needed one in the first place. I set it aside and forced myself to forget about it and went along with my Christmas cards orders. LOL! But after seeing the challenge set by Julia over SCS, I suddenly remembered that I have a pending card to put together. Yes indeed it didn't need any image stamp, but a sentiment stamp would do! And voila!! My card's done! :)
I stamped the sentiment (Amy R Friendship Sentiments by CC Designs) with Night of Navy Ink onto the retired River Rock dp and cut it with Labels 4 Nesties. This goes out to all my friends...THANK YOU so much for the friendship! I love you all! ♥
Thanks again for visiting and if you haven't been saying thank you lately, you may start now. Remember that "Gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling. It can resolve disputes. It can strengthen friendships. And it makes us better men and women." -- Gordon B. Hinckley

CC245 Always Real Chocolate
This House Mouse is sooooo adorable! Just look at him with his eyes closed. ;) That's why I chose the sentiment "Peace" to go along with the image as this mouse exudes peace and calmness. Don't you think so? :)
I stamped this mouse with Versafine Onyx Black, heat-embossed with clear ep and then coloured it with a combination of Copics and Prismacolor pencils. His cheeks are more pinkish IRL, the real colour wasn't just captured by the camera. I cut it and mounted it onto a Basic Grey Wassail dp and then matted altogether onto a Choc Chip cs cut with Scalloped Oval Nesties.
Here's a closer shot:
Card size btw is 4.75" x 4.75". And most of the materials I used here are from my scraps. ;) The Choc Chip mat behind the Real Red is actually hollow in the middle. You know when you cut your mats using Spellbinders and what's only left is the square thing with holes on the middle resulting from your die cuts?? IFYKWIM. That's it! Sorry, I hope I'm making sense here. LOL!
Okay, this is it for now. Gotta grab some quick lunch for me and DS2.

Remember HER?
I was part of the very first Design Team of Bizzy Becs and my exposure there really helped me a lot to hone my skills as a beginner. Thanks so much to Bec. So, in honor and gratitude of you, Bec, I once again inked this Little Cutie and used her on a card.
This one's for you BEC!
Isn't she the cutest?!! :) I coloured Jewels with Copics and Prismacolor pencils. The size of this card is 4.75 x 4.75. I'm starting to make cards with this size as I bought a pack of pre-cut card base more than a month ago and I believe it's time for me to use them. I've done a couple yesterday but will share it with you tomorrow. The sentiment I used here is from Jemac Stamps and reads:
A hug is the shortest distance between friends

Stockings On A BIG Card
The base is an American Crafts cs which I bought on A3 size for 99cents @ Lincraft. And it's very, very sturdy as it's 270gsm (if I'm not mistaken). It has to be masculine (as her boss is a guy) so I chose blue for this. The dp is from DCWV 12x12 Christmas Stack which I bought way back 2007 and the sentiment is from House Mouse Christmas clear stamps set. The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory.
Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the day!
God bless you.

Ice Skating Tilda
A churchmate liked it and asked me to make her one. To those of you who know me, I don't normally mass produce or make 2 cards so identical to each other. So, I just made a few twists and I'm sure, crafters as you are like me, you can easily spot the difference. :)
Don't be shy, tell me the differences that you're seeing. :)

Quick Birthday Card
My SIL asked me to make a birthday card this morning and so I really had to rush a bit as I was also doing some cards to be delivered on Sunday.
I used some papers from my stash and this lovely dp is from K&Company Wild Raspberry pad. I embossed a pink cs for the horizontal panel, stamped my sentiment onto white cs, cut with Circle Nesties, sponged and then matted onto Petite Scalloped Circle die cut. Finished off the card with the smallest Kaiser pearls Plum on four corners of the card and a small Prima flower with a Kaiser pearl Lemon at the centre. Quick and easy!!
Okay, off to prepare for our Bible study tonight. Thanks for the visit and may our good Lord bless you always.

Colourful Christmas Take TWO!
I have a take two on my colourful christmas card which you can be seen on this post. The first card was seen by a friend and asked me to make her a card using the same colours and materials. Well, honestly, I don't or I never made two cards completely the same in my entire stamping career! LOL! I don't know, I'm not just so comfortable doing that. So, since it's a request, I had no choice but do it. :) I used the same materials but of course made some "twists" to make it somehow different from the first one.
Here it is:

Sweet Birthday Wishes
Anyway, here's a card I whipped up as part of my orders which I have already delivered last Sunday! Yay! My churchmate ordered 15 cards, 10 Christmas and 5 Birthdays. I still owe him 2 of the latter though. :)
I didn't put too much embellies on this one as I want to take advantage of the beauty of the paper. I stamped the sentiment directly and just added pearls on each side of it.
Tilda was coloured with a combo of Copics and Prismacolor pencils with odourless solvent. I just took the colours from the dp (which is from Basic Grey Sultry) and adhered Tilda onto it.
Thanks for looking! Gotta grab some late lunch here.

Birthday Card
This very encouraging verse is from ODBD Scripture Collection 1. It's stamped with SU! Old Olive (loaded with Versamark first) then heat embossed with clear ep. Cut with square Nestabilities and matted with a very thin SU! Groovy Guava (retired) then matted again with the square scalloped Nesties. The lovely dp is from K&Company Beyond Postmarks which I bought from Windsor Cottage Botanicals. I finished off the card with Prima flower and a paper rose flower plus 4 chocolate Kaiser pearls in each corner.
God bless everyone!

Engagement Card
This combo is very elegant-looking! I started with a white base then a black cs and then used a Kaisercraft dsp (both sides). The silver panel is a Bazzill Bling embossed with Swiss Dots embossing folder which was matted with a black cs again with the lower part punched with MS Doily Lace punch.
I don't actually have a "specific" engagement stamp/s and I only have this Congratulations word which is from Jemac Rubberstamps (that I bought from the recent Craft Show that I went to). So I have to improvise, I then used my JustRite Times New Roman Lowercase font and voila! Problem solved!! The image on the left side was also from Jemac Clear stamps set.

Glory to God in the Highest!
I actually experimented on this as I was thinking of other colours to go with silver. So I decided to use SU! Night of Navy which I think looked well with my Bazzill Bling in silver. The image was stamped with Versacolor Silver and heat embossed with clear ep while the sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy ink.
The image panel was cut using my Spellbinders Mega Curve Rectangles which I recently purchased from Bizzy Becs. Then while still inside the die, I then sponged some Bashful Blue ink and Night of Navy for more depth.
Here's a close-up shot:
Thanks so much for looking! Got this card done yesterday morning and this will go to my personal Christmas cards to be given to family and friends. I've been busy finishing Christmas cards orders and I haven't even filled up my personal stash yet!! So now, my aim is to slowly build up my Christmas cards...I'll get there by the grace of God. :)
My family and I weren't able to go to our Friday Bible study last night as I wasn't really feeling well. It's that time of the month and I was feeling so differently that I couldn't barely stand up because of the lower abdomen pain. I wasn't able to do anything from afternoon 'til night but lie down and praying that the pain would go away. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling a bit better..thank God!
This is all for now. I will be finishing card orders to be delivered tomorrow so I have to sit and stamp now otherwise I wouldn't get anything done. :)
God bless us all and happy Saturday!

The sentiment is from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps' Jesus is Born set. I stamped it using Versacolor Violet, heat-embossed with clear ep then cut with Spellbinders Labels 4. I sponged around it with Versacolor Hyacinth while it's still inside the die, embossed it with Birds and Swirls embossing folder then spritzed a bit of Glimmer Mist Pearl. I also used a purple sheer/organdy ribbon on this card. To make it more Christmasy, I again used my Create a Flake 1 to make these cute snowflakes. ;) I sponged Hyacinth ink to my snowflakes then generously glued some MS Crystal Fine glitter. I then finished it off with some purple rhinestones by Kaisercraft. The lovely dp is also from Kaisecraft Lilac Avenue Collection - Sweet Pea.
Thanks for the visit and hope you'll all have a blessed day!

All That Sparkles!
This card is also my entry (my very first!) to Simon Says Stamp Weekly Challenge. I uploaded this to SCS and the kind Steph (of Simon Says) mentioned to me that their current challenge is about getting sparkly and that my card qualifies for it. Wow! It's so exciting as I posted my card the same day they posted their challenge so...yeah, I guess I'm in. :) I haven't been to their blog and it's also my first time to visit it and I bet I will be visiting it often and try to join their weekly challenges..hopefully. :)
Oh! Here's my card btw,
Look at those colours! I mean, nothing beats green and red for Christmas but it's good to know that other colours can look Christmasy, too! The dp that I used is from My Mind's Eye "Snowflake Stripes" (Colourful Christmas collection). I coloured Tilda using the colours from it using a combination of Copics and Prisma pencils. (NOTE! Always use Copic first then Prisma pencils when colouring).
Here's a close up shot of my sparkly Tilda and snowflake (which I made using Create a Flake 1 by Spellbinders).

This DCWV dp is from their Christmas Stack which I bought 2yrs ago. I actually got 2 pads of them and you can't really resist the colours and beauty of its designs. The stockings were made using Spellbinders Wreath and Stocking (Shapeabilities) which, if Im not mistaken, has been with me for more than year and it's only now that I used it. I used chipboard to make the stockings and then cut again using the same background dp. I used some glue and sprinkled my MS Crystal Fine glitter to add bling to the stockings. Sentiment is from Darkroom Door Christmas Reindeer set which I bought at my LSS at 40% off! Gotta love discounts! :)

3 Christmas Cards
I was able to finish 3 cards yesterday! YAY! And these are also part of my Christmas orders and thank God I'm slowly getting to finishing them all before November hits. I hope I can somehow do another 2 today. :)
Card #1
This is the first time I inked up this Tilda. This is one of the stamps I got from the Summer Collection kit. And yes! I enjoyed using my Spellbinders Create a Flake 1! Hubby bought this to me along with some stuffs when we visited a scrapbook shop the other day. I was actually into an MS Snowflake punch for so long now but it's so hard to find them here in Australia. So when I stumbled upon a card using this Create a Flake die, I thought, hey why not this one instead of the punch? And it's so beautiful IRL especially when you add glitters or stickles or any other medium to make them sparkle! So Christmasy! :) I bet my sentiment is so fitting for the sparkles in my snowflakes.
Card #2
The greens here were a pack of A5 cards (with 3 more other colours) which I also purchased from the scrapbook shop we visited. I used it here as they carry the colours of the dp which is from Basic Grey Figgy Pudding. The panel with the dp was made by cutting 2 long rectangles Nesties then joined them together with the grosgrain and organdy ribbon to make them look like 1 big square. Sentiment is from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps Christmas Scripture set. I stamped it with Versafine Crimson red then heat embossed with clear ep. I sponged around it after I cut it with Spellbinders Labels 4 and then embossed it with Cuttlebug Holly embossing folder. Final step was done by spritzing a bit of Glimmer Mist pearl and added pearls on each side of the main panel.

Christmas Card with Bow Easy!!
Hello fellow bloggers and stampers! Happy Thursday to all of you! I know I still have a lot of photographed cards to post but they kept on piling up as I make new ones. LOL! So,I decided tonight to post the latest card that I finished --- just an hour ago. ;)
This card took 2-3 days to finish! Whew! Well, I don't know but I bet you also have those days when it seems that your Mojo is on a holiday? That's exactly what happened to me these past few days. I knew what stamp to use, I already have one colour which is Going Gray but I got stucked somewhere! Until I saw stampersandee's O Hear the Angel Voices Card over SCS. I was inspired by the grayish sky and the masked moon so I somehow CASE'd her colouring a bit.
This is also the first time I used my Bow Easy on a card! Yay! Thanks to Sharon Johnson for the wonderful email she sent me on how to do the bow the way she does it....beautifully!! Especially with her Autumn Blessings card -- so fab!! I PM'ed her and left a message on her blog but I never knew she would reply to my inquiry straight away. Thanks Sharon - I really appreciate it!
Here's my card:
The colours are not your usual Christmas card colours but I'm starting to like the non-traditional ones. Sometimes we have to go out of our comfort zone and try new things! :)
Thanks so much for looking and please leave a comment when you get the chance so I'll know that you stopped by.
God bless everyone! Hugs to all.

Christmas Card with Bow Easy!!

Back on Track!
Happy Monday everyone! It's been awhile since I last uploaded a card here and now it's time for me to share those with you. But before I do so, let me just share with you what happened yesterday in our church. We had our Pastor Appreciation celebration and it's the first time that we did this in our church. I initiated this one upon researching that October is Ministry Appreciation Month. I actually learned about this last year but was a bit late to celebrate it so we did it this year. I was sooo happy because it's a success as we were able to surprise our Pastor. Everyone shared and thanked him for all he's done in the church and all eyes were full of tears! It was so touching and so memorable. I was asked to make a card for him and have all the members sign up but I forgot to take a photo of the card before I gave it to our Pastor. Argh!! I just used a full A4 Night of Navy card and folded it into half and printed the 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 verse which says: "And now, friends, we ask you to honor those leaders who work so hard for you, who have been given the responsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love" (The Message).
On with my cards, here are a couple of what I've done lately:This is for my friend who requested a Tilda card with a blue theme.
This one's requested to me by a friend to a friend. And she wanted the colours orange and blue.
Below are some Christmas cards that were ordered to me by friends. I still have heaps to make!
This is all for now. I know I mentioned about a 'candy" on my previous post but I'm afraid it will be a bit late. Sorry! Just have to gather all the supplies first before formally posting it to you. But I will definitely have one..soon!
Thanks for the visit and have a blessed day!
