first in stamping...first in vellum =)

hello everyone! these cards are my "firsts", (well, maybe not first for you but for me it is, 'coz it's the first time I tried these techniques). this if my first attempt in "stamping" (hehehe) well, the stamp that I used is just one of my 3 stamps that I own (well, for now, lol!) for the pink cardstock, I used the fiskars texture plates (raindrops) and for the heart-shaped, I used the swiss dots folder (but the negative side). I used watercolour pencil in colouring the dots. =)





and my other first is this one...Ta Da! embossing on vellum =) and I'm so, so glad that it turned out well (IMO, hahaha!) I coloured the embossed parts with my Faber Castell watercolour pencils. you may want to try it but just be very careful because vellum tends to break easily.



THANKS FOR LOOKING...MAY GOD BLESS US ALWAYS!

2 cards in an hour ;)

my migraine didn't stop me from making these 2 cards & I thank God for that. the first card is for my youngest sister who couldn't believe that I'm into cardmaking nowadays (and she couldn't believe when she saw the cards on my blog hehe!). this is just actually an everyday card.

I used a white blank card, cardstock, dcwv fr all glitter stack collection and of course, my CUTTLEBUG! I embossed the patterned background with Bloom Dots and I used the flower die for the flower in the middle of the card.

CARD FOR MY SISTER





card #2 is for a very good friend who will be celebrating her birthday on the 22nd of June. I will be sending this through post tomorrow so it' more on an advance greeting. well, just making sure I won't be missing her birthday.
I used dcwv from the glitter stack collection for the background and embossed it on my Happy Birthday embossing folder. other materials were pink and brown cardstock from Bazzill.




THANKS FOR LOOKING. GOD BLESS US ALL!

altered projects

here is another altered project I made today. this magazine holder is made out of a cereal box (yes! a cereal box). it was just simply done by trimming the box and adhering patterned paper (Brenda Pinnick designs) that would complement each other. for the alphas, I used Bella! chipies (the raw one) and coloured it according to my son's preference. we used Faber Castell to colour the alphas. the "arrow" is also from Bella! and the diecuts are of course, from my cat and mouse dies set by Provo Craft. i don't have any sheet of chipboards here and so, I decided to use the trimmed cut-outs from the cereal box for the cat and mouse diecuts. (now I'm improvising!) good thing, I've been keeping the cereal boxes once the kids were finished with those.

below is my son Jared holding his magazine holder made by his mum - ME!

would you believe this is a CD? don't ask me how it was cut out, I'd go get my husband to tell you how. haha! but honestly, it's a CD =) details later....DS2's having tantrums. thanks for looking!

ANOTHER ALTERED CD

here's another altered cd which I did for my good friend & sister in Christ -- CINDY. she requested for this Bible verse as well as the colour theme to be used. we were at her place last night for our Bible Study (it was my hubby's birthday yesterday). I asked her what her favorite Bible verse was and she said it's Isaiah 40:31, the very same Bible verse that Chrystle had asked me to put on the altered cd that I also made for her. So, here it is...will give it to Cindy tomorrow as we'll see each other for our Church Sunday service.


I used patterned papers by Me & My Big Ideas, Fiskars texture plates (for embossing), versa mark ink pad, and decorative ribbon


BIRTHDAY CARD

This one is for a friend as well (who also celebrated his birthday yesterday). Just a simple card using Happy Birthday embossing folder. I inked the negative side of the folder with metallic silver ink pad and I added cardstock (top and bottom) courtesy of DCWV (from the glitter stack collection) to complement the silvery colour of the embossed card (the photo didn't do justice for that) I just so simply like DCWV's papers, they're very gorgeous especially the glittered ones like this.

Thanks for looking!

I was able to make this card in less than 20mins (while hubby's sleeping)...good thing I was able to finish it before the clock strikes 12. Soon as I finished it, I woke up DH and gave it to him. whew! =) Happy Birthday to God's gift to me!
