One Layer Card

Happy Saturday blogland! Just want to share with you another card that I made for SSCC Challenge#75, one layer card, that is!  I made a mask out of a die cut rectangle, sponged it with Versacolor Misty Mauve, then stamped my image from Darkroom Door (direct to stamp coloring done here with SU! markers) and the sentiment from a Stampin' Up stamp set.

Thanks for looking! Enjoy your day!

One Layer Card

ODBDSLC44 [WING IT], SSCC#72 [SOMETHING NEW]

 Hi everyone! Happy Friday!  I want to apologize once again for not posting the past few weeks. It's school holiday for the kids that's why I'm taking the opportunity to bond with them. 

Anyway, this card is for the ff challenges:

ODBDSLC44 - image, embellishment or dp must contain anything with wings and

SSCC#72 - anything new (in my case, my dp is one of my new supplies)

The bible verse was stamped with Choc Chip (loaded with Versamark) and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then cut it using Oval Nesties, and while still in the die, I then sponged around it using So Saffron and Choc Chip. The verse is from ODBD Scripture Collection 1 and the silhouette butterfly is a stamp from Darkroom Door. I used the SU! marker (Rose Red) to directly colour the rubber stamp, huffed on it then stamp it directly to the dp (which is my something "new").  I also stamped another butterfly image to the same dp then handcut it and adhered just the middle part so the wings can move for added effect. :) I distressed the edges of the dp with Tim Holtz's Antique Linen distress ink. I also embellished one of the butterflies with 2 smallest pearls.

Thanks so much for the visit and I'll see you again on my next post.

Have a blessed day! Be safe.

I'M STILL HERE!!

Hello to my fellow bloggers, stampers and blog followers! How are you all doing? I'm just posting to let you know that I'm still here although not that much active with crafting lately. Talking about being slack! :( I dunno, maybe I was just having those days where one's mojo isn't really working or is wandering somewhere else.  Have you ever experienced that?? Tell me I'm not alone, pls?

Anyways, somehow I was able to make a single card (yes, just a single card in my 3wks or so of absence). This was for the FS181 in honour of ravengirl over SCS.  I chose to case her generational card and changed some of it while sticking to the lay out.

Once again I apologize for my absence.  I was about to make a card today but I caught a flu early in the morning so, yeah, I guess I'd better put it off after a day or two.

Thanks so much for the visit and I'll see you in my next post -- SOON!! :)

Have a blessed day!

SC278 Take Time to Laugh

Hi everyone! It's Friday once again and the last day of April! Wow!! It's actually getting colder and colder here each day. I can sense that Winter is coming soon. :)

My card for today is actually my card for last Wednesday's sketch challenge over SCS.  I made it very simple, not matting the dp and just matted the sentiment panel.  The sentiment btw, is from Darkroom Door Melody set.  I actually wanted to go monochromatic but I ended up using violet to give the sentiment a "pop".

Thanks for looking and I'll see you on my next post.

God bless!

{CAS56} IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE!

Happy month of March everyone!!! Wow, days really pass by so fast and before we know it, we're already half year through. So let's thank God for every moment that He's blessed us and let's make the most out of those moments.

Well, I was finally able to sit and stamp this afternoon as soon as I saw the CAS56 challenge which is "Hip to be Square!". As you all know me, I'm really into making square cards so it didn't make me think twice to play in this challenge.

I stamped my image from Magnolia Summer Collection with Memento Tuxedo Black then coloured it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils. I then matted it onto an Old Olive cs which was cut with Scalloped Square Nesties. I stamped the Darkroom Door sentiment with Old Olive ink then finished the card with an olive-coloured satin ribbon (bought from dollar store) with a button combo (a very first for me!). Oh, I made my bow using Bow Easy and once again, I had to review the youtube tutorial as I've totally forgotten how to make one. LOL!!!

Thanks for visiting! Have a blessed day!!

Hugs,

3 is an ODD number, right? =)

Here's my simple card for this weeks Ways to Use It Challenge set by Julia and the theme is "Odds Are". There has to be something odd in your card; ODD as in not divisible by two not the ODD that is strange or peculiar in meaning, LOL!

In this card I have 3 butterflies, 3 Kaiser pearls (Rose) and 1 butterfly that is fully made up(it's the one in the middle, unfortunately you cannot see its colours clearly in this photo)! Just made it very simple and use some scraps lying around my craft table.

Thanks for looking and TGIF!! =)

MY FIRST CARD FOR 2010!

And it's a card for the CC257 (colour combo challenge) over SCS! The colours for this week are: Choc Chip-Dusty Durango-Sage Shadow.

Hello everyone! Wow! It's been almost 2mos since I stamped and made a card. And I was making this card yesterday, I felt like a first-timer stamper!! I stamped my image thrice before I got it right! LOL!! I don't have the Dusty Durango yet so I had to replace it with Real Rust. Image from Darkroom Door was stamped using Versacolor Topaz (which is close to that of Real Rust) and the sentiment from Stampendous was stamped using Choc Chip. I did some sponging around the image using Versacolor Vanilla. I finished off the card with four tiny Kaiser pearl chocolate at the four corners.

Don't want to do any complicated cards for now as I'm still getting the hang of it. LOL!!

Have a blessed Thursday!

MY FIRST CARD FOR 2010!

TWO CARDS

Happy Saturday everyone!! Wohoo! I just can't believe how quick the time flies! Just a couple of sleeps more and it's already December!!! And I'm so looking forward for our holiday in the Philippines as we can get to see our family and relatives (and friends. of course!) back home!! We'll celebrate Christmas and New Year there! YAY!! How's that?!!!

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!)

That's it for now and I'll try to post more later after doing my Saturday chores! Hubby's home early today so that means "badminton" for the family later! Wohoo!!

God bless us all!

CC246 Be My Friend

Hi everyone! I was able to play tonight for this week's Colour Combo challenge over SCS. This is CC246 wherein you are to combine SU! Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and Bermuda Bay. I don't have the latter colour but I was able to use an alternative with Core'dinations Bermuda which I think is close enough with the Bermuda Bay.

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)

God bless us all!

CAS42 Sponging with Butterflies

Yay!! This week's set CAS challenge over SCS is a simple technique called "sponging" which happens to be one of my favs! That's why as soon as I saw the post, I didn't waste anytime and made my contribution to it straight away. :)

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!

BIRTHDAY Cards

Happy Friday everyone! Sorry, I was MIA (Missing In Action) these past few days. I had migraine for 3 straight days and I was so unproductive during those times. :( I'm always like this whenever there's a change in the weather and the early days of this week was so hot and that triggered my migraine. Hubby didn't go to work last Wed to look after me and the kids and he accompanied me to the doctor as well to have a check-up. Thank God, I'm well now.

Anyways, I will just share to you two of the birthday cards that has been ordered from me.

The first card has autumn colours. :) The card base that I used is a 290gsm cs which I bought on clearance in our LSS. The dp is from My Mind's Eye and the flower image is from Darkroom Door. Sentiment is from Jemac stamps.

This one's yummy! LOL! I used my Inkadinkado Cupcake stamps which I haven't been using for quite awhile now. Cupcake stamps were one of my first collections as they're so gorgeous and easy to colour with. The dp is from Basic Grey cupcake.

Be back with more cards to share. Thanks for the visit!

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.

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!

LSC235 Money Card Holder

Happy Saturday everyone! The card/project that I'm going to share to you today was from the LSC235 challenge yesterday - to create a Gift Card or Money Card Holder. It was Wendy's birthday yesterday and she set the rules according to her wishes. :) I was in the process of making this money holder when Wendy posted the challenge. I was surprised upon knowing that my money holder (as I was in the process of finishing it) qualified for the rules that she set. And these were the ff:

- it should be a gift card/money card holder
- an image (or more) of a butterfly should be there
- and there should be a Choc Chip element

I was like...Oh! Shoot! I got everything....except for Choc Chip. And so, before I adhered my image to the scalloped die cut, I matted it first onto a Choc Chip cs just slightly bigger than it. And to add more Choc Chip, I stamped a butterfly (from Darkroom Door-Wildflower) to a So Saffron-like cs, cut it out and adhered it to the bottom right of the holder.

And here it is:

I was looking for a template for this but just couldn't find one. So, what I did was I measured the paper bill, did some scoring here and there with the help of my Scor-Pal, made bits of cutting and then VOILA! I was able to make one!!! Yipeee!! =) This money holder measures 6" x 3" when closed.

The dp that I used here is from K&Company Wild Raspberry paper pad. So gorgeous IRL, I must say. :D

This is it for now, have to create another card as I was requested to make a Sympathy one.

Have a lovely day! God bless.

Sympathy Card

Good morning world!! What a lovely Thursday morning we have here in Sydney at the moment. Thank God for mornings as this reminds us that there is always a new beginning waiting for us.

I have finished this card last night but I was trying to put this altogether for the past few days. Originally, it was just the card base then the dp (not to mention the image and sentiment) but as I was looking at it, it seemed to lack something. And this black cs did fill-up the missing factor. :)

This is for a friend who just recently lost his FIL. She told me she and her kids are very close to him. Just want to let her know that I can feel what her going through and that me & my family are thinking of her.

Card base is SU! Purely Pomegranate (retired), topped with black cs and then with Wild Roses (by K&Company Madeline). I stamped my sentiment onto a white cs, cut it using my Nesties and sponged around it while it's still inside the die. I also then stamped the background image while it's still inside and I like how it turned out.

This will go postal tomorrow (note to self) and I hope that through this card, she will somehow be comforted. Thanks everyone for visiting and be sure to hug your loved ones today and tell them how much you love them.

God bless us all!

Sympathy Card

Scatter Seeds of Kindness..

Good Morning!! How are y'all doing? I posted last night that I have another card to share using the "sponging" technique and here it is.


The sentiment and the stamp are both from Friendship Flowers set (Darkroom Door). I know, the sentiment was a bit tilted to the right, LOL!! It's my fault and I was about to throw it but my son Jared told me to continue doing the card using it and that the tilted/misaligned sentiment will serve as a "style". And so, I heat-embossed it (and the flowers as well) with clear embossing powder and sponged with various inks to my heart's desire. :D Ask me how many inks I used on this one?? NINE! Nine different inks (combination of SU!'s and Versacolor) not to mention the Versafine Onyx Black.

I really enjoyed making this one and I think I'll be doing more and more sponging with my future cards.

Okay now, I just have to hang the clothes as the machine already stopped. It's my "ME" time again today so I guess I can make a card or two.

God bless everyone!

Christmas Cheer!

Good evening (it's 1130pm now here in Australia)! I'm excited to share with you this card that I've finished this afternoon. I don't know but I just suddenly remembered this Pine Tree stamp that I bought from Oztion more than a month (or two) ago. I just felt the need to ink it up. LOL!
Well maybe because it's currently winter where I am (though it doesn't snow here) and I feel sooo cold eventhough it's sunny outside, I got inspired to create this card.

Yay! See that sponging technique there?? I'm actually in the process of practicing it. I still don't have the right "ink colour" for the "sky" so I just used what I have here with me. The snow were sponged using SU! Soft Sky and the sky is a combo of Summer Sun, Regal Rose and Soft Sky (plus a bit of Versacolor Baby Blue). The image was first stamped with Versafine then heat-embossed with clear embossing powder. Sentiment is from See D's Christmas Doodle stamp set.

I'll be sharing another card which I have just finished an hour ago but will post it tomorrow after I'm done with my house chores. ☺

Let me know what you think of this "Sunny Winter" card so I'll know next time what to improve. I appreciate your comments and feedback...really. ♥

Thanks for visiting. God bless you!

LSC229 My Wedding Colours

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! First, I would like to thank God for this wonderful day that He has blessed me. For last night as well as I was able to share the book of Hosea during our Bible study. It was a very wonderful book and I highly recommend that you read it because it speaks about love and redemption...the everlasting love of our God.

I've just finished my card for the LSC229 over SCS. In this challenge you are to use either your wedding colours or your high school colours; and use any clips or photo turners. In my case, I chose my wedding colours not only that they're my favourite (remember brown?) but I still have some of the very materials that I used when I made our invites.

Here's my card:

These really were our wedding colours and if you want to see my evidence (LOL!) you can check out this previous POST of mine where I posted my wedding stuffs.

The stamp that I used is from Darkroom Door Essentials2 Collection. I stamped it twice onto Very Vanilla cs, went over it with my Aqua brush to put some intensity and a bit of shading on the colours and went over some parts of the flowers with my orange Copic Spica glitter pen.

Here's a closer shot:

And since we are to use any clips and I don't have any special clips here, I then used a regular paper clip and tied my chocolate-coloured ribbon around it (which is also the same ribbon I used on my wedding). The pearlescent cs was embossed using Cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder. I love the effect! The sentiment on the other hand is also from the same stamp set and was die cut using my Shapeabilities Daisy Heads (the leaf part).

What do you think?

Thanks for looking and have a blessed and lovely day wherever you are.

HUGS,

LSC229 My Wedding Colours

More Tilda Cards

Hi everyone! Hope all of you are doing very fine upon visiting my blog. My 2 kids got sick with flu and hubby isn't feeling well atm. DS2 Jared is actually well now and ready to go back to school tomorrow but my little Jhetro is still sick. He's got cough and colds along with fever. We actually brought him to the doctor this afternoon and we're told to just continue with the paracetamol we're administering to him.

These 2 Tilda cards were created last weekend. My kids were sick and it was very calm and silent in the house, they're just resting in their beds and somehow I was able to make cards while looking after them. But I'd rather make cards while they're running around the house than seeing them just lying in bed and sick. :(

The first Tilda is a birthday card for my niece who will be turning 11 this July 9. I used a RAK image of Valentine Tilda from Bec. Tilda is originally holding a heart image but I decided to cover it with a paper rose instead. I poked a hole on the heart image using my paper piercer then adhered the paper rose. The rose was actually white but I just coloured it with the same blue marker I used with Tilda's jumper. The markers that I used with this one is Bic Mark-It but I used Copics to colour her face, skin and hair.


The next card is just an everyday card. I coloured Tilda with Copic markers and made her brunette again. LOL! I think she looks cuter in brunette. Don't you think so? I used a background ink from Hero Arts to stamp my flowers (behind the sentiment) which is a stamp from Darkroom Door Essentials 2 Collection. I then stamped the sentiment onto it using my Darkroom Door -Melody from their Music Collection. I believe the image and the sentiment fit perfectly well. :)

The bench where Tilda sits on was made using the Spellbinders bracket. I just embossed it using Cuttlebug embossing folder to add an effect. The rest is self explanatory.

Okay, have to study and do some writings now as I will be sharing about the prophet Hosea this coming Friday for our Bible study. :) I have one requested card to make but apart from that, I won't be making any cards not until I'm done with my Hosea report. :)

Thanks for visiting and pls pray for my darling son Jhetro for him to get well soon.

God bless us all!

More Tilda Cards

TWO CARDS for WT225 {Corrugated Board} and Copic Creations Challenge

Happy Friday everyone! We're having a wind blowing so strong here atm and it's sooooo cold!!!! It's Friday and it's our Bible study day but we will not be able to attend tonight because my 2 sons are having fever and hubby isn't feeling well, too. DS1 Jared has been sick since Wed night while Jhetro started with the fever last night. I know it's the time of the year here when flu is just around every corner. I had Jared checked last night by the doctor 'coz I was worried about the swine flu going around but we were assured that he isn't on a high risk status and true indeed that flu is very common especially this winter. WE just pray that these 2 gorgeous kids of mine will feel better soon. It's hard when someone is sick in the family, let alone the 2 kids.

Anyways, on to the card that I made. The WT225 challenge over SCS is to use a corrugated board on your card. This first card that I'm going to show to you was the one I made last night. I used the Darkroom Door flower from Full Bloom Collection on this one.

I cut the corrugated board using my Labels 1 then inked the edges with Old Olive and alternately inked the raised part of the board. I then directly stamped my sentiment (Clearly Wordsworth) onto my card base, stamped my image onto a Kraft stash, coloured with Purely Pomegranate ink using my Aqua pen, cut it out then adhered it to the corrugated board using pop dots. Well, I've been experiencing some "firsts" lately with regards to stamping and cardmaking. :) In this card, it's my first time to colour an image using the ink itself with the Aqua pen/brush. I haven't done that before and I liked how it turned out! I'm sure a lot of you had done it a lot of times but for me, it's my first! LOL!

Anyway, I enjoyed this particular challenge that's why I made another card for it!! This time I used Tilda which is another RAK image from Bec. This is also my very first participation to the Copic Creations Challenge! Yay! And this week's challenge is "Brunette Hair!" To make the story short, I coloured Tilda's hair to make it look brunette. :)

Check it out:
I'm not really good in using Copics and I've just a few numbers of it atm. But with this one, I tried to blend similar colours together. I found out that I have 4 colours that are closely related to each other (a pair each) and so I tried blending them and it somehow turned okay.

The flowers were all white and I just coloured them with the same colours that I used with Tilda to complement each other. That comes so handy, eh? I made Tilda sit onto the ...fence (?)...or this maybe a sort of a hill, LOL! Not sure though, but the most important thing there is that she's sitting onto something! hahaha! I inked the edges if of the corrugated board with Choc Chip and put some flowers here and there. I used random sizes of flowers as well as random sizes of the Kaiser pearl in chocolate.

Here's a closer look at Tilda :

I went over Tilda's wings and the flowers with Copic Spica glitter pen (clear) but it's not very obvious in the photos taken, but looks real good IRL.

So, what do you think? :D

Gotta make some dinner now. I'll try my best to make another card tonight with the limited supply challenge for this week.

Have a blessed day to y'all!

Hugs,
