Engagement Cards

Happy December everyone!!! I can't believe we're just few weeks away from Christmas! Time really flies so, so fast these days!  I've been very busy making cards for different occasions but mostly Christmas and that's what's keeping me from updating my blog.  Thank you for visiting and staying as my followers eventhough I haven't been posting lately.  I'll try to keep you posted at least when all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas cardmaking ceases. As to when? LOL!! I totally don't know.  Hahaha! Hey, I'm always here and will do my best to post my created cards for you to see.

The following cards were made for a friend who attended 2 engagement parties these past weeks. She didn't give me any colour theme so I just chose the colours myself. The first one is a combination of black, gray, white and red. I used a red satin ribbon to make the whole card pop. And I think it went well with the other colours. :) My friend liked it and the recipient as well. :) Dp is from Kaisercraft and the cardstocks are from SU!  The name was done using Justrite Stampers. So versatile, you can almost always personalised cards with those stamps! I also used my newly-purchased MS Botanical Scallop punch. Btw, my MS Doily Lace punch already lost its ability to punch months ago and I'm kinda sad because I really like its style. :( Anyway, this is the replacement and I'm also happy because it can be used on any occasions as well.

The second one is a combination of brown (my favourite) and a bluish/kind of turqoise specialty paper from DCWV Garden Stack. It's so lovely IRL as it really sparkles! Sentiments and name were also made using the same set of Justrite Stampers that I used on the first card. Both cards were finished off with Kaiser pearls for added accent.

Thanks for spending your time reading my blog posts and for following. Until next post -- more Christmas cards!

Have a blessed day!

Engagement Cards

CARDS, CARDS, CARDS!

Happy Wednesday blogland!!  Few more days and December is here and I'm still rushing with my Christmas cards! Whew!!  I was so busy these past few days that I didn't have the time to open my blog and post the cards that I've finished. Sorry my dear followers, I bet you can relate with me because I believe you are busy as I am these days. :)

Anyway, here are some of the few cards that I was able to finish. I still have yet to take photos of another 4 cards that I've done the other day.  Let me share with you these 3 first. ;)

The stamps I used for the first 2 cards were from Sweet N' Sassy stamps Christmas scripture set.  I think I bought it more than a year ago and I also made cards using the same stamp set last year. The last one was from Justrite Stampers Christmas Treasures.  i haven't been colouring with my Copics for awhile now so this is just like first time for me (again! LOL!).  Just made everything simple without too much embellishments so there will be no hassle with mailing. (which I've experienced quite a few times).

I guess this is all for now.  Have to run back on my crafting table and finish my to-do list.

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed Wednesday!

SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT (CAS93 and SSCC65)

Wow! I can't believe that we're already in the middle of November and I'm still well behind with my Christmas cards! Ugh!! Anyways, I hope I'll be able to create more within this week.  My card for today is based on two challenges:

CAS93  a sketch inspired by ltecler and,

SSCC65 based on John 3:30 verse ("He must increase, but I must decrease.")

On SSCC65 we have 3 options on how to present our card.  One is to make a CAS card to show that I need to decrease;  two is to make a "more is more" card showing that God must increase and three is to make a simple version of a card then we'll show the more is more version. 

As I've said I chose to make the CAS card because I want others to see more of Jesus in me and less of myself. Hence, the simplicity of my card. :)  I haven't coloured for months now and it felt like first time to me while I was colouring this image from Justrite Christmas Treasures set. I actually went over the circle stamped margin while I was sponging the sky (not in purpose, of course, LOL!). And to make unnoticeable, after cutting it with Circle Nesties, I coloured the white area with my Copic marker, put some glue on it and sprinkled it generously with my MS Crystal Fine Glitter!! The dp is from Graphic 45 (from my stash) and I just adorned it with leaves from Prima Christmas mix and a pearl at the center.

Thanks for visiting once again and see you on my next post.

Have a blessed day!

Frame Cards

Happy Monday everyone!! I once again apologize for being on MIA mode for the past few weeks.  Just recently, I was down with the flu for a week and few days after my two boys got it, too. :( To make it short, they missed a week of school because of that and hubby took a week off from work to look after us. Thank God for him! :)

I was actually about to start with my Christmas cards orders when the flu thing arrived. But prior to that, I was on the finishing touches with these Christmas Frame cards that were also part of my orders.  I just did the "very final" finishing touches soon as I got well. I made 2 of each design to maximize the materials used. :)

And here's one with my DS2's photo being the model. :)

The dps are mostly from DCWV Christmas stack and the cs used were from Core'dinations cs. Embellishments were from my stash and I used different Stickles to add interest to the frame.

Thanks for visiting and for always following my blog.

God bless!

ODBDSLC34 {Romans 8:28}

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your day wherever you are. :)  Just want to present with you a card I made for ODBDSLC34 wherein the challenge is to use the colours Black, Kraft and one other colour.  This is also my 2nd entry for Joan's 4th and final week month-long blog candy in celebration of World Cardmaking Day! I haven't been playing with the ODBD challenges for months now but I just couldn't resist the colour combo this time. :)

I just want to make it simple as I'm aiming to focus on the Bible verse, which is from ODBD Scripture Collection 1, rather than the embellishments.  The Kraft is from my stash, where an oval was cut out for a previous project.  I was thinking of using it as a whole rather than cut a part of it and I liked how it turned out.  I chose the mustard-coloured cs to stamp my leaves on (from SU! Lovely As A Tree set) to make the image pop up.  Finished it off with black pearls at the bottom of the bible verse --- which is one of my favourite verses. :)

This is all for now and I'll see you on my next post.

God bless everyone!

Ginghams and Checks

Happy Monday! Hope everything's well with you and that you had a lovely weekend. This card that I'm about to share with you is my challenge card for CAS90 challenge over SCS: Ginghams and Checks. This is also my entry for Joan's month-long blog candy in celebration of World Cardmaking Day! This is the fourth and final week and I do hope I'll win again. =)

I was trying to make this one a Christmas card while using stuffs that aren't traditionally "christmassy" but I think the gingham and the flower gave the card a Christmas feel. :) The image is from Stampendous stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and I just lightly coloured the outside part with a Copic marker. The sentiment is from Sweet and Sassy (part of a Christmas stamp set) and the rest is self-explanatory. :)


Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!

WINTER WHITE OUT

Happy Friday fellow bloggers! Things had been a bit busy last week because it was my birthday and wedding anniversary week. :)  I wasn't able to sit and stamp but I was able to savour the moments when hubby and I were together without the kids. Just US! :)

This card is for the Winter White Out Free for All challenge at SCS. I know this is a week behind but it's better late than never. LOL! I chose these colours just out of the blue and thought it would make a good combination. The gray cs is from SU! and the other one is from Bazzill (which closely looks like SU! Groovy Guava).
The stamp is from ebay (I think) and I just randomly stamped it while using a scratch circle frame. The outer frame is from JustRite Christmas set and was stamped with SU! Groovy Guava.

This card is also my entry for Joan's month-long blog candy in celebration of World Cardmaking Day! This is for week 3, I won week 1 :)  but missed to submit something on week 2. :(  Anyway, hope I'll be able to make cards for the rest of the blog candy weeks.

Have  a blessed day everyone and God bless us all!
