and now comes the Pink and Brown CHRISTMAS

Yeah! I went out of my comfort zone and broke through the traditional colours of Christmas. I coloured these lovely House Mouse image with pink and browns and complemented them with my DP fr K & Co. Cardstocks were SU! Close to Cocoa and Whisper White, pinks were fr Bazzill.

This is also the first time I used my Cuttlebug slider which has been with me for a couple of months now. Instead of putting a sentiment on the slider, I stamped another image of the mouse and colour-complemented it with the main image. And look at my grosgrain ribbon? Yipee! They all coordinated with each other!!

I used my Copic, Sugarloaf markers and watercolour pencils to colour them. I also put some stickles onto the mouse on the slider.

So, what do you think?

Good night! God bless us all!

Changito Birthday Card

Hi everyone! We have a very lovely day here in Australia. Spring is really in the air, the wind is blowing hard and the sun is up and it feels like.....yeah, Spring. ;-)

I whipped up a card a few minutes ago for my nephew who will be celebrating his birthday on the 18th and will post it tom AM (and this card will surely get there late). This is the 2nd time I used my Changito the monkey stamps by Stampendous.

I only used my watercolour pencils, no blender pen whatsoever. Just pure watercolour. And I used the pencil directly onto the paper as I just want to keep it fairly simple. :-)

The next card (which I already handed to my friend yesterday) is also a mini-card, like the one with the apple at the center. I coloured it with my Copic Markers and used my Copic Spica on the edges of the hearts to make it look a bit sparkly.

These are the stuffs that I used:

-For the Changito birthday card-

Stamps: Changito the Monkey by Stampendous, Happy Birthday sentiment by Fiskars, SU! Brilliant Blue, Whisper White, Creamy Caramel, DP by Chatterbox, Versafine Ink, Watercolour pencils, decorative brown ribbon

-For the 2nd card-

Stamps: Clearly Christian tags by CD stamps, Copic Marker, Copic Spica (clear), SU! Whisper White, Old Olive, Lovely Lilac, grosgrain ribbon, Nestabilities classic square, Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder, ticket corner/concave punch by EK Success, Versafine Ink

And what else is new with me??? Oh, my profile photo! LOL! Took that myself last night and did some cropping. How do you like it? ;-) Hmm...anyone of you guys who knows how to put smileys on blog posts???

Blessings to all!

Changito Birthday Card

Square Nesties

Good Day! I finally had the chance to use my Square Nestabilities. I was such in a hurry while making this card because I have to give this to my sister in faith later this evening during our Bible study. I grabbed the opportunity to make this card while the kids are in school and I'm uninterrupted .I will actually give her a Bible as a gift and I decided to make a card to go along with it. This is just a very simple card..and actually, it is small. ;-)

The Square nesties are cute! I used my ClearlyChristian stamp (which I seldom use, I guess I'd better use them more often) by CD Stamps coloured with Copic Markers. Cardstocks are all SU! (Whisper White & Garden Green), I Cuttlebugged the bottom part and put a dotted red & white grosgrain ribbon for added attraction. (it actually went well with the Swiss dots) I also used Copic Spica on the apple. :)

Off to the kitchen to grab some late lunch and will pick-up DS1 in school at 3pm.

See y'all later! :-)

more new stuffs and a card

Hello everyone! Hope everything's doing very well with you by the grace of our God. Yes, I have other new stuffs to share with you. This was really fast as I only ordered them 2 days ago. thanks Bec! you really rock!) This is my 3rd set of Nestabilities which is the Square Nesties. And I also got myself 2 mini stamps (Snag 'Em by Imaginisce and the other one is by Inkadinkado). Can't wait to have a play with them...

And this card here is for "someone"..somewhere out there... (again I can't tell the name 'coz this person reads my blog hehe). The Cupcake image used was from the image swap that I received yesterday (check my previous post, it's there). The base card and the ribbon are both purple..I just really don't seem to understand why the camera couldn't capture its real colour everytime. Hmmm.....

Anyway, here are the stuffs that I used in making this simple card:

Stamps: Cupcake by Inkadinkado, Happy Messages by Stampendous
Cardstock by Bazzill (the base cardstock is from unknown source), DCWV Pocket Full of Posies and grosgrain ribbon from Ribbon Palace

Thanks for looking. Off to make more cards! ;-)

NEW STUFFS AND IMAGE SWAPS!

Hello! Hello! Hello!!! I'm excited to share with you my new stuffs which all arrived today. Below are some stuffs that I ordered from BizzyBecs and Hanna Stamps. The blue pad is a piercing mat and it came together with the Snow Dots embossing folder and the piercing tool. These arrived yesterday, while the ones fr Hanna Stamps arrived today. I'm so excited because these stamps are my "first" Hanna stamps and the Copic sets are my first set as well (I bought individual markers before) And guess what else came in the mail today???

These gorgeous images from my very first image swap! Sammi hosted this swap at SCS and as I've said before, we just did it locally. These images all came in 2 pieces each..

So, yeah..that's it for tonight. I will try my very best to come up with a card using one of these new images (including my new stamps), THAT's IF my energy will still permit me to do so. I already feel sleepy and maybe because I slept late the other day (I slept very late....as late as 4am! lol!). Hubby and I watched a movie on TV and I never took noticed of time..I was surprised when I saw the clock and it was 4am!!! So, what could you expect? I still have to recharge my body batt in order to be in full power again (hahaha!)

Nyt guys....blessings to all.

hugs,
jhet

NEW STUFFS AND IMAGE SWAPS!

IN SEARCH OF HANNA AND BELLA (stamped IMAGES ONLY)

Hi everyone! Weather is lovely here in Sydney atm. It's been raining lately but today, the sun is up and shining (and smiling at me...lol!). I haven't done any card since yesterday but hopefully before the day ends I will be able to make one. Though I'm done colouring some images, they just have to be matted and put on a card.

And speaking of images, my first image swap from SCS will arrive anytime this week! Yay! I'm so excited. It's actually my first image swap and we're just having it locally at the moment (within Australia only).

Btw, can someone point me where I can have these Stamping Bella and Hanna stamps images?? I really like to have these stamps but they're all from US & Canada and we don't have them here. :( So, I'm settling for just stamped images of these lovely ladies and I'm willing to trade for any images that I have here. I went to SCS but I couldn't find a thread where I can swap any of my images here for a Hanna or Bella. All I know is when you're looking for a particular image you have to trade the same image (but different design) as well?? (am I right? Anyone who can shed light on this thing?) I ordered the Hanna 'Tis the Season set but I don't know when it will arrive.

So, if anyone out there who has a kind heart to give/swap any Bella or Hanna stamped image, please let me know. I'm so, so willing to have them even as stamped images. ;)

Thanks in advance. God bless us all.
