CAS34 - Colour Challenge

And the challenge is to use the colours: pink, blue, green (and chocolate - optional).

I haven't been making Tilda cards lately (and I miss using my Prismas and Copics) that's why I decided to use her this time.

.

I coloured Tilda (which is a RAK image I received from an online friend) with a combo of Prismacolor pencils and Copics. I've read somewhere that if you'll use these two together (meaning going over Prisma using Copics or vice versa), the safest is to use Copic first then go over your colouring with Copics. And that's what I did here (and I normally do whenever I decide to use the two mediums).

CAS as it is (clean and simple), I just cut my frames using Labels 4, stamped a Darkroom Door butterfly onto Gable Green cs using Choc Chip, adhered to the left side of the sentiment then finished off with 3 Kaiser pearls (chocolate). I used Martha Stewar Crystal Fine Glitter on the heart that Tilda is holding. :)

Thanks for the visit. Til next post! Have a lovely evening!

God bless!

ODBD for A Wedding Anniversary

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you're all doing very fine upon reading my post. This will just be a very quick one as I still have to prepare DS2 for his childcare.

I made this card last Friday for the 41st wedding anniversary of our church pastor and his wife. I used this never-been-inked Bible verse from ODBD Scripture Collection 1 which I believe would fit any occasion. :) I stamped it with Versafine (Crimson Red), heat-embossed with clear ep and used chalk around the verse for some added effect.

Gorgeous papers? Yeah, they're from K&Company Charlotte paper pad collection. Bought this from Windsor Cottage Botanicals on special (and they're still on special up to 30th Sept). You still have a day to avail of its 25% off on their gorgeous papers so visit the shop now and grab yourself some stuffs!

Have to go now. But before I go, can I please ask you to include prayers for the people in the Philippines who got affected with the recent typhoon Ondoy? I originally came from Philippines and my heart breaks everytime I see my fellow Filos submerged in deep flood waters and most of them lost their homes and some of their loved ones. :( Manila is the capital of the Philippines and right now, most of its parts are flooded and devastated by the recent typhoon. So please, include them in your quiet time with our Lord. TIA.

Thanks for the visit. Will be posting more later!

First Communion Card

Happy Monday everyone! (it's already 12:27am here in Australia) I'm actually about to sleep but remembered that I haven't actually posted this card yet. I made this First Communion Card last Thursday as my friend requested me to make her one.

This is my very first time to make such card and I was thinking where to start since I don't have any stamps related to it. I googled for some images and came up with this "praying hands". I printed it onto my Whisper White cs (edited the image as washout as I wanted it to be soft looking) then did some sponging around it using So Saffron.

It could have been much easier if it's for a girl, lol! But then it's for her nephew so yeah, I struggled a bit when I was creating this but thank God, I was able to do it! :) She chose this particular verse from ODBD Scripture Collection 1 which I stamped and heat-embossed with clear ep. I did some sponging here using Versacolor Baby Blue, SU! Soft Sky, Bashful Blue and Ballet Blue. I also did some slight sponging in the middle using So Saffron. Glad she liked it when I handed it to her last Friday.

Okay, off to sleep now. It's been so windy and cold this day and it seems to me that winter is coming back again. LOL!

God bless everyone! Thanks for stopping by.

Vintage Birthday

Hi all! Sorry I wasn't able to come back yesterday to post this card that I promised you. Things just got busy and I didn't get the chance to sit and post. Anyway, here it is...a Vintage Birthday card which a friend of mine requested for her mum.

What can you say about the gorgeous dp?? Very gorgeous isn't it?!?? And yes, they're from K&Company Charlotte collection. It's very lovely as they look like fabric or a very expensive wallpaper, lol! And they're very vintage to look at!

I used 3 colours of cs here. Purely Pomegranate for the base, Rose Red for the Labels 4 frame and the one punched with Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch, and of course Whisper White for the sentiment panel. The Bible verse btw is from Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Collection 1 which was stamped with Purely Pomegranate (loaded with Versamark first) then heat-embossed with clear ep.

I once again did some faux stiching here after edge distressing and inking to make it look more vintage. Flowers are from Prima which I also sponged with Versafine Vintage Sepia.

This lovely K&Company paper was purchased from Windsor Cottage Botanicals and they have an ongoing 25% off on designer papers 'til the end of this month. There are lots of good finds there so visit it when you get the chance.

Thanks for the visit until next post.

DUST STORM

Hello everyone! Yesterday was an awful day for most of us here in Australia. Sydney (where I am) experienced Dust Storm and other states experienced other natural calamities. Hubby went to work at 5am and in just a little while sent me an SMS and told me not to do the laundry as there's a dust storm approaching. And yeah, at around 5:15am as I looked out from our window, I saw a very red sky and the scene was so eerie. I woke up my eldest son and showed him what I've seen and he too was shocked. It was very windy and so I went out of our room and shut all the windows just so the dust won't come in though it's a bit late. I managed to took photos from our window and here they are:






That's what we had yesterday. DS1 and I prayed in the middle of the Dust Storm because in natural calamities such as this, there's nothing you can do but pray because God is always in control of everything. After praying, I called some of our family friends to check out how they're doing or if they were, at that time, aware of what's happening outside.

The sky turned clear and blue around 2pm though it's too dusty around here. :) I already did some vacuuming and cleaning and I think will be doing it until weekend. My cough got worse and I sometimes feel suffocated because of the dust but I thank God really for taking control of everything.

I will be sharing with you a card which I made a few days ago. It's Vintage Birthday (just so you have a hint, LOL!) and I used my new K&Company Charlotte paper pad (so yummy!).

Be back later. Thanks for the visit! Have a blessed day.

More Christmas Cards

Happy Saturday! I haven't been feeling well since last night and I think a case of colds and sneezing will be here soon. :( I'm also experiencing headaches which hinders me from sitting and stamping. Anyways, I just pray I'll get well soon.

Just want to show you 2 more Christmas cards that I've finished few days ago. These are part of my Christmas orders and I need to make them as early as now so I won't be in a rush to make my own cards for my family and friends. These cards highlight the ODBD Scripture Collections.

See the flowers? They're from Prima Festive Christmas collection. Aren't they gorgeous? Got them on an online shop that closed-down recently for less than a dollar a pack! Yeah, and a pack contains more than 15pcs of flowers and leaves. What a bargain, hey?! :)

Will be posting more info about these cards later. Just want to lie down on my bed and relax at the moment.

Be back with another card so don't forget to come back and check it out.

Thanks for the visit. God bless you!

Good morning blogland! Praise God for another lovely and productive day ahead of us! Just want to tell you that my online buddy BEC is having a fab blog candy giveaway. Hop on to her blog and join. Winner will be chosen on 11 October via random.org. See you there!

Scripture Christmas Card

Hi everyone! Sorry for not posting for a couple of days. I've been a bit busy making Christmas cards orders. Yes! Some of my friends have ordered Christmas cards as early as now and I'm so excited to create them!! :)

Here's the very first one. At the moment, I still don't have any Bible verses for Christmas but I believe that any Bible verse can fit for a Christmas card. :)


She requested this particular verse to be put in this card. I stamped it using Versafine Crimson Red, heat embossed with clear ep then cut with Spellbinders Labels 4. While still inside the die, I sponged around using Versamagic Sage to complement the Basic Grey Wassail dp. And for the first time, I tried using Glimmer Mist! Gosh, it really gives gorgeous outcome to any project. When hubby and I went to our LSS, I thought I should try it out and so I bought the Pearl one. I spritzed a bit onto the red Swiss Dots embossed panel. Too bad the camera didn't capture the glimmery appearance of it. I then wrapped it with an organdy ribbon that I bought from one of our dollar stores here. I finished it off with flower and leaves that I bought some weeks ago from an online shop that was about to close down. I bought it for only $1.50/pack if I'm not mistaken and a pack contains more than 15 flowers & leaves. What a bargain?!

Okay, this is it for now. Thanks for the visit and I'm pretty sure I will be very busy for the next couple of days making my card orders! And I thank God for this, it's such a blessing!

Take care everyone!

Psalm 138:3

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! I so enjoy making cards using Bible verses as the "main image" or focus. I've seen some who only puts the verses inside the card but that's not the case with me. I want it always at the front! :)

Here's a card I came up with the other night. I was just too sleepy to upload it that time and yesterday was a busy day for me around the house.

Here it is:

I used my new Basic Grey Wassail dp which I received last Friday on the mail. I ordered it from Bizzy Becs along with some Versamagic Dew Drops ink. I'm a bit surprised that the Wassail papers are all Christmas-themed, LOL! But this one will pass for an everyday card and I like the colour combo.

That's it for now as I still have tons of house chores to do. Be back later with a card or two. :)

God bless everyone!

Glittery Tilda (Just Magnolia Challenge)

Hello blogging world! I'm sharing another card using the SC245 sketch again. Well, it's such a fab sketch and I guess I will be using it more often in the future. :) This is also my entry (my very first) for the Just Magnolia Challenge #22 wherein the theme is EMBOSSING.

I used another Tilda image but kept the Christmas theme just like my previously uploaded card. And this time I so generously glittered my image with Martha Stewart Crystal Fine glitter which I bought the other day from Spotlight. Have a looksee...



Here's another shot for you to see the "bling"...

This is so gorgeous IRL, to be honest! I'm not saying this because it's my card, LOL! but really, this glitter makes a card look more gorgeous and lovely!

I coloured Tilda with Prismacolor pencils getting as closed to the colours of the papers used. Of course, I have with me the Prisma to SU! colour chart which is very, very handy when it comes to matching colours. I used Taken with Teal as my card base and the rest are dp's from about 2 years ago. LOL! These papers were one of those bulks that I bought when I was just starting to make cards. Mind you, these are not your traditional Christmas colours. But I like it!! For a change. :)

I have a secret to tell you. I actually made a mistake while colouring Tilda's hands. I initially coloured it with E000 (skin colour) but realised that her hands should be wearing gloves (and I presume it's winter at Christmas wherever she is. Our Christmas is Summer so no White Christmas here, LOL!) I went over the hands again using my Prisma pencil that is matched with Taken with Teal but the colour went darker as compared to her shoes. (I used the same pencil but had a different outcome because of my prior mistake with her hands). So, I put my thinking cap on, and thought of a solution to this. AHA!! Okay, dark Teal-coloured gloves looks good though, I just need to do the same thing somewhere in Tilda's clothes. And so, that's what I did as well on the topmost part of Tilda's hat and those fluffy thingy on her shoes. Can you see it?? Now, they're all coordinated!!! :) Well, I'm not genius...just a bit smart. Tee hee! Instead of throwing an adorable image like this (when you made a mistake), sometimes you just have to come up with a solution so it still can be used. And I believe, that's part of being a stamper/crafter! (anyone out there who can relate with me?)

Here's a more closer shot of Tilda...

Another addition to my favourites! :) Okay, this is it for now. Gotta do some folding of clothes and a quick lunch with my son Jhetro.

Thanks for the visit and God bless you. ♥

Green Christmas

Good morning and happy Thursday to all of you! As early as now, I can already feel Christmas in the air. :) How about you? Well, really, everyday is Christmas if we have Jesus in our hearts. ♥ He is the real reason for the season. He is the reason why we have Christmas and why it's so meaningful. Well, we don't actually have to wait for Christmas to feel Christmas because we can do a lot of things to make everyday and everything around us feel like Christmas. Just like this card:

Yes, I'm slowly building up my Christmas cards stash and I've just done a few for now. I will make it a point to make 2-3 Christmas cards a week so I will not be in a rush when December comes. And I'm so thrilled to tell you that most of my friends have already placed their Christmas cards order from me as early as now. Yay!! Some of them have special requests like Bible verses and some just want it to be a typical Christmas card but of course, all these cards will be made with much care.

Okay, on with the card. Sorry for too much blabbing, I'm just so excited to share it to you. This card was patterned after the sketch challenge for this week, SC245 over SCS. This is just so nice and effective even for a square card or an A5 one.

I coloured Tilda with Prismacolor pencils and odourless solvent and cut the image panel using Spellbinders Labels 4. Then I did a very light sponging around her with Versacolor Baby Blue ink and then with Versacolor Narcissus a bit closer to Tilda to highlight the outline of the image. The green cs behind her was embossed using Cuttlebug Snowflakes and I put three ribbon tabs on the left side of the horizontal panel and Kaiser pearls on its bottom right side.

The paper is from Kaiserscrapbook's Pear Tree and Home for Christmas collection. Aren't they gorgeous?? But wait!! Can you see the bell Tilda is holding? Yes, I used Martha Stewart Crystal Fine glitter!!! Hubby bought me one yesterday when we went to Spotlight and it's totally gorgeous to use on projects. Australia doesn't have too much of Martha Stewart's products but some shops are slowly introducing it to the public. This glitter is the 2nd Martha Stewart product that I acquired. :) Can you see the bling? Here's another shot, just another background colour just so you can see the glittery bell.


This is all for now. There are lots of housechores waiting in line for me. :) Might try to come up with another card later in between those.

Thank you so much for the visit and may our good Lord bless and keep you always.

CC235 In Sympathy

Hello fellow bloggers and stampers! Here's another sympathy card that I want to share with you. I used the colours for the Colour Combo Challenge this week over SCS: Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant and Basic Black.

I used a flower from Darkroom Door Garden Greetings onto Whisper White, cut with Spellbinders Labels 4 then sponged around the image with Versacolor Vanilla and a hint of Old Olive.
I actually stamped the image twice, and cut just the flower alone (without the stem). I then used pop dots to make it pop :) therefore making it another entry for POP IT UP challenge for CAS31. Sentiment is from Image Tree stamp set that I won over BizzyBecs a couple of months ago. The black panel was embossed using Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and I finished off the card with Kaiser pearls on the upper left corner and right bottom corner of the black panel.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I really appreciate it!

CAS31 POP IT UP CUPCAKES!

Happy Wednesday! I will be sharing with you today my take on CAS31 challenge. The challenge is to use dimensionals on your card to pop up something hence the title of the challenge: Pop It Up!

I did this card a few hours after the challenge was posted. I just pulled out a white square card, looked at it for awhile and decided to use my Hero Arts Cupcakes that seemed to be neglected for awhile now. This is really out of my comfort zone as I don't normally do a single-layer card and use Copics to colour any image on it. I didn't even have any planning prior to making this card, I just stamped, masked and used colours randomly. Of course, I have to pop up something, and that's when I decided to pop up the middle cupcake.

The middle cuppie was stamped thrice and the topmost layer is of course, the flower topping. I hope you can see the dimensions here:

Since I chose the middle cupcake as the "highlighted" image, I jazzed it up using my Copic Spica glitter pen and a generous amount of Icicles!! YUM!

Thanks so much for the visit and if you can, pls leave a message so I'll know what you think of this card. :)

God bless you!

SCRAPLINGS!

Happy Monday everyone! It's a bit gloomy and cold here in Sydney right now and I feel like going back to bed and sleep (but it's almost 1pm here, LOL!).

Anyways, I want to share with you some "Scraplings" that I made last week for SCS' LSC236 challenge. So what is basically a scrapling? When you make a 4x4 card, and there's this leftover 1.5" cs...that's your scrapling!! Well, technically the measurement is 4.25 x 1.25 but mine's a tad bigger as I don't want to cut too much from the leftover cs. This scapling can be made into a bookmark or gift tags and I bet you have a lot of scraps there so, what are you waiting for?? :) You can do other size, whatever tickles your fancy would be okay I guess.

The first scrapling was made using my scraps from the previous card that I made (Romans 8:28 card). I really like this K&Company paper...so yummy! I bought this paper from Windsor Cottage Botanicals. Linda (the owner) carries some of the most gorgeous papers in the crafting world so if you have the chance, go and visit her online shop. :)

I did another faux stitching here to complement the previous card that I made. That means, they'll gonna go together if ever I'll give or sell them to someone.


The next two scraplings were very simple. I used SU! Cameo Coral and Ballet Blue cs, stamped with Choc Chip ink and went over some parts with Copic Spica glitter pen and Metallic gel pen.

I have lots of scraps sitting here so I will be making more of these! It's fun to make them so try it out as well!

Thanks for the visit! Have a blessed day.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

It's Father's Day here in Australia, today! Happy Father's Day to all Dads!!! Here in Australia, we celebrate Father's Day on the first Sunday of September.

Just a quick post as I don't want DH to see this before he gets the card, LOL! I did this card more than 2weeks ago for a particular CAS challenge over SCS and that is to create Masculine card. I also did this for a Colour Combo challenge (SCS as well) and that is to use Close toCocoa, Vanilla and Taken with Teal.

Here's my simple card:


All images were from Clearly Inspired Nature set. I stamped the moose first then masked it and then stamped the background for an effect. :)

Okay, now I have to write my thoughts inside the card.

'Til next post! Have a blessed day!

Romans 8:28

Good evening everyone! Hope everything's going well with you wherever you are at the moment. I wanna share with you today the card that I made yesterday wherein I used my new Brenda Walton Beyond Postmarks dp by K&Company!!!

Look how gorgeous the dp is:

It's very lovely, isn't it??!! Well, I got this paper from Windsor Cottage Botanicals at a very reasonable price! I was so excited that's why I decided to use it on this card.

I started with a Mellow Moss base, and I matted my Beyond Postmarks dp onto a Bravo Burgundy cs. Nope, I don't know how to use a sewing machine and I don't have one so I just did a faux stitching here. LOL! The stitches on the verse panel had to be criss-cross just like I did with the edges of the card but something wrong happened along the way that it ended up with an unknown kind of stitch! LOL!!

I stamped my ODBD Scripture Collection 1 verse onto Whisper White, cut with Labels Small then sponged with Versacolor Petal Pink and Misty Mauve. I finished off the card using Prima flowers, Kaiser flower (Dusty Pink) and Paper Rose which I think really complemented the yummy dp. :) This card goes to my favourites for sure! ;)

I will post my take on LSC236 later tonight when my migraine goes away. :( I have it since early this morning and it's very painful.

2nd Post for Today - ALTERED CADBURY CAN

Hello everyone! I'm here once again as I forgot to share with you an altered project I did a week ago. Yes, I altered a Cadbury Drinking Milk can. I was into organising my paper scraps when I found this Kaisercraft paper and decided to use it on this project.

I now used my Labels 4 die!! Yay!! I already have it!! I stamped my Darkroom Door (Melody Collection) sentiment onto Whisper White cs, then cut with Labels 4 die. I did some sponging on the edges using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink & then adhered the sentiment panel onto a Scalloped Oval die cut cs. Finished it off by stamping, cutting and adhering these two lovely butterflies from Darkroom Door (Wildflower Collection). Now I know that using a butterfly onto a project adds more beauty to it. No wonder I see a lot of cards using butterfly punches!! Hmmm.... =)

This is the before and after photo of my project:



You can use this as pens or markers holder/caddy or whatever you want to use it for. The possibilites are endless!! So, if you have cans or jars sitting there and just gathering dusts, it's time to get that creative juice flowing and convert those to lovely work of art. :)

Okay, as this is my 2nd post, try scrolling down so you can see my previous post for today.

Gotta eat lunch now!

Hugs to all!

SC244 When I Pray, You Answer Me

Yes. And that's our God...He hears and answers prayers. AND that's for SURE! :)

This card was done for the sketch challenge (SCS244) over SCS. The sketch is fairly simple but effective. I used both sides of my leftover Wild Raspberry dsp (K&Company) for this card. My Bible verse which is from ODBD Scripture Collection 2 was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black, heat-embossed then die cut using Spellbinders Labels Small. I then sponged around the main panel while it's still inside the die then Cuttlebugged it using Floral Fantasy embossing folder.

I really like how it turned out. I guess this will be one of my favourites among the cards that I made (well, as of today, LOL!)

Thanks for the visit and hoping to hear any comments from you.

God bless us!

Bible Verse Cards

It's September!! Happy 1st day of Spring to everyone from Australia! Wow! Time really flies so fast..and before we know it, Christmas is already around the corner! Spring is one of my favourite times of the year, not only because of the blooming flowers but also because of its very lovely weather. Thank God for every seasons that He made. Everything's lovely!

Okay, let's get on with the cards that I made. I actually did 3 for the past 3 days and here they are:

The first two cards were actually made as Sympathy cards. My churchmate asked me to make one for her friend so I made two so she would be able to choose. I experimented on these actually. I didn't know what it's like to ran a heat-embossed image/sentiment to a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Well, it looked gorgeous! (as you can see, LOL!) I stamped the verses with Versamark and my ink colour of choice, heat-embossed with clear ep, die cut with Nestabilities then sponged around it while it's still inside the die and then ran it through the Cuttlebug embossing folder.

I did the same thing with the 3rd card:

I've been organising my paper stash last night when I saw this lovely dp from Imaginisce. And since I already have the Bible verse ready (stamped, sponged and die cut), I decided to make a card using this dp.

I tried to make it simple as I want the focus to be on the Bible verse not on anything else. I punched the corner using this SUPER bargain corner punch that I bought yesterday from Officeworks (they're in clearance). Yes, there are 3 corner punches/pack for only .99 cents!!!!! I've been seeing this corner punches before but they're a bit exy and they're not the Fiskars or EK Success type, no they're not. To give you an idea how they look like, I took a pic of the punches.


We went to Officeworks after I visited our LSS. I was looking for a binder for my stamps organization, I just bought an A4 2-ring binder as I'm still not decided really what sort of organization I'm going to use. We'll see how it goes.

Okay, time to do some house chores for now. Thanks for visiting and may you all have a blessed day!
