TILDA WITH PUPPY

Happy Friday everyone!  Hope you're all feeling good upon reading this post.  I created this card last night but was too sleepy to post so I'm sharing this with you today instead.

This lovely Tilda With Puppy image was given to me by one of my online friends.  Sorry, just couldn't recall the name but will put it here as I check on my received RAKS. I coloured Tilda with Copics and did some tip to tip technique for the shading.  I also used Prismacolor pencils for shading as well.  I like how the tip to tip technique turned out with Tilda's boots/shoes...looks suede even IRL! ;)  Might do this technique again next time.  I actually coloured this image a month ago now but it's only now that I was able to use her on a card when I saw these lovely dps from my stash.

I finished off my card with some chocolate Kaiser pearls here and there, a ribbon, button and layered flowers.  The sentiment is from Jemac Stamps (clear).  Tilda's white background was embossed with Perfectly Paisley embossing folder (which I haven't been using for quite sometime now) and I did some chalking to highlight the embossed parts.

Thanks for the visit and I'm off to do some review for our Bible study tonight.  God bless everyone!

CREATE A SCENE by MASKING

Happy Friday everyone! Wow! It's Friday once again and I can say time really flies so fast nowadays!!  I want to share with you today the card that I made for 2 challenges:

- Magnolia Down Under Challenge #42 {Masking}

- Magnolia Stamp Lovers {Create a Scene}

and I bet like me, you would say the challenge go perfectly together!! Masking is surely a part of creating a scene that's why I combined these two challenges! YAY! I stamped Tilda then masked her so I can stamp the fence (which is btw, from Sugar Nellie). I used my Stamp a Majig to stamp the fence. I then masked the fence then stamped the flower background. As you can see, I stamped the stems again so as to show tall-stemmed flowers. :)  The stems in between the fence was done manually with Copic Multiliner.  Everything was coloured with Copics and other shading were achieved using Prismacolor pencils with odourless solvent.

Sky was created by sponging with torn paper as a guide.  The sun was done with the same technique.

Here's a closer shot:

I embellished my card with a layer of flowers and a button and a bit of yellow and purple Stickles on the stamped flowers. 

Here's a close-up shot for you to see the sparkle in the flowers:

I know I'm still mastering how to colour Tilda with Copics so kindly excuse my colouring but I'm happy as somehow I'm kind of improving (as my hubby said) LOL!!

Thanks so much for the visit and I would love to hear your comments or suggestions.

God bless us all!

MDUC41, OCC and FS166 {Black & White Tilda}

Hi everyone! Today's card is my entry for Magnolia Down Under Challenge #41 (and my entry to Featured Stamper 166, too!). MDUC had set a theme which is "Olden Days". We are to colour Tilda in black, white and greys and the papers to be used are either colourful or with vintage look. My Tilda was coloured with black and different degrees of "greys" from my Prismacolor pencils. I didn't have any problem colouring her skin as she's already white and she has to be black and white. LOL!! Yeah, she should be black and white but I can't help myself so I coloured the bow on her hat with red. I stamped it twice and popped up the 2nd one for dimension. The bow is the only one coloured with Copic marker (Lipstick Red).

The oval background was cut with Oval Nestabilities, sponged with Versafine Smokey Grey and Vintage Sepia then embossed with Cuttlebug Script embossing folder. This card is also a CASE'd of PatSmethers' Comfort of Home card. It was so hard choosing which card to CASE on her gallery as they're all gorgeous and lovely. I ended up CASEing the said card to combine it with MDUC since she used an image of a Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie and I'll be using Tilda. :)

ETA: I'm also entering this card to Our Creative Corner Challenge - Bows! Perfect timing!

I finished off the card with some Kaiser pearls and a red bow made by Bow Easy!! Honestly, I'm not into ribbons before. In fact, I have lots of satin ribbons being hoarded and were never used but not until Bow Easy was introduced to me - I was given a whole new perspective about ribbons!! LOL!!!

Thanks for looking and for your lovely comments. I really, really appreciate it.

God bless you!

IC223 Thanking God

It's Saturday (which means I don't have to wake up early the next day) that's why I was able to somehow stay up late and played for the Inspiration Challenge223 for this week over SCS.

Stef & Bonnie chose this Warm Biscuit site to get our inspiration from. The beddings are all gorgeous that's why it was so hard to choose. They're all inspiring! Anyways, I chose this pink twin bedding as an inspiration for my card. I used my "new" (well new for me) Martha Stewart Cosmos punch which I bought a couple of weeks ago. I tried to make this card as simple as possible and I used my Clear Dollar Stamps' Christian Tag for my focal image/sentiment.


Thanks so much for the visit. Good night and sweet dreams!

{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,
Jhet

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!

TWO CARDS

Remember HER?

I'm sure you do! She's one of the first gorgeous stamps originally from Bizzy Becs called "Little Cuties Collection" and this one here is Hippy Girl Jewels!

I was part of the very first Design Team of Bizzy Becs and my exposure there really helped me a lot to hone my skills as a beginner. Thanks so much to Bec. So, in honor and gratitude of you, Bec, I once again inked this Little Cutie and used her on a card.

This one's for you BEC!

Isn't she the cutest?!! :) I coloured Jewels with Copics and Prismacolor pencils. The size of this card is 4.75 x 4.75. I'm starting to make cards with this size as I bought a pack of pre-cut card base more than a month ago and I believe it's time for me to use them. I've done a couple yesterday but will share it with you tomorrow. The sentiment I used here is from Jemac Stamps and reads:

A hug is the shortest distance between friends

For the meantime, I hope you enjoy looking at Jewels and let me know what you think by leaving a comment or two. Thanks for the visit!

God bless us all!

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.

Dreaming Tilda (Magnolia Down Under Challenge #11)

Good evening from the land Down Under! It's currently 13 degrees while I'm writing this post that's why I'm having a hard time gathering my thoughts...brrrr!!! So cold for an autumn. We were out this evening (the whole family) and this is actually a post-Mother's Day treat for me by my darling husband and kids. We just went to Darling Harbour and had some yummy pancakes at Pancakes on the Rocks. I'll show you the photo after I share with you the card that I made for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge #11. We really had a nice bonding time as a family and the kids enjoyed the night.


Now, let's get into the card. With this card I actually tried the Cut then Ink Technique which I got from Michelle (a.k.a. juststampingaround on SCS) She creates lovely scenes and does it really better! I was so excited that I decided to use it on my MDUC card. It's a bit easy but a bit tricky, too!

Here it is:


The theme for this week's challenge is "Thinking of You" and I believe this Dreaming Tilda is perfect for that. Btw, this is another RAK image I received from Deb. (Hello Deb! Hope all is well with you.) I coloured her with Prismacolor pencils, cut and adhered onto my sponged scene. Here's a closer look at her:




What do you think? IMHO, I liked how it turned out. LOL! Hope you like it, too.

Oh, and here's what I had at Pancakes on the Rocks. It's called Vanilla Choc Surprise...




And yeah, it's sooooooo yummy!!! =)

Thanks for the visit and don't hesitate to leave any comments as those comments help me grow as a stamper/cardmaker.

God bless us all!

Hugs,

Whiff of Joy Challenge over Bizzy Becs

Hi everyone! Hope you're all feeling better and doing well wherever you are right now. We're having another very cooolllddd autumn here in Sydney atm and I guess winter came too early.
My friend Bec is currently having a Whiff of Joy challenge over her blog and me and the rest of the DTs made some inspiration cards for the said challenge. Here's my WOJ Willow card:



Aside from using Whiff of Joy image, part of the challenge is to use a lace on your card. For the full mechanics you can visit Bizzy Becs blog so you can also see the candy that's in store for the winner of this challenge.

I coloured my image with Prismacolor pencils and odourless solvent. And while the cs is still in the die, I used my chalks for the background. I did like the outcome eventhough it's my first time to use chalk on my project. My lace which is a bit peachy and yellowish in colour is from Spotlight and check out my smallest flower. It's shimmering isn't it? Yeah, I got my first ever Shimmerz (Butter Cream) and used it on this one and I soooo liked it!

Here's a closer shot..

Look at that! It's so stunningly shimmery!!! I ordered this one along my ODBD stamp set from US and it's amazing how this Shimmerz adds a beautiful touch on anything. Guess I need to have the other colours as well, LOL!

Thanks for looking and for leaving lovely comments on my work. Just want you to know I appreciate it a lot! Thanks heaps! Gotta go now as I have to prepare for our Bible study tonight.

Blessings to all!

Stamps: Willow -Whiff of Joy (stamped image RAK fr Bec)

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #8

Hello fellow stampers and bloggers! Hope you're all doing very well by the grace and love of our Lord Jesus. Today I want to share with you my card for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge. The theme for challenge #8 is .... CUPCAKE! (yum! one of my favs!)

I do not have the Tilda with cupcake and as I've mentioned before, I only have 1 Tilda stamp and that is Giggling Tilda (atm....hoping I could have more in the future). So, I browsed on my stamped Tildas (which I received as RAKs from my online pals) and improvised a card that incorporates a cupcake with Tilda. And here's my finished card:

The second photo below is a shot with some of the embellishments/accessories I used.




I coloured Tilda with Prismacolor pecils and odourless solvent. This is originally Tilda Holding Rose. After colouring Tilda, I cut it out and cut the flower part and just left the stem. I then used my Rectangle Nestabilities (which I purchased from BizzyBecs) to cut a piece of Whisper White cs, sponged it with Versacolor while still in the dies then adhered Tilda there. I then stamped the Hero Arts Cupcake onto the lefover cs where the Tilda image came from (now that's frugal cardmaking, lol!). I coloured it with Prisma pencils as well and then embellish it with Copic Spica glitter pen, Dimensional Magic and Glitter Marker (for the cherry) then adhere it on the area replacing the flower that I cut. I then matted the white cs onto a Creamy Caramel die-cut in Scalloped Rectangle Nesties. I used my Cotton Candy Stickles for Tilda's wings and finished off the card with some dew drops for the horizontal panels. I also did some paper piercing onto the Creamy Caramel horizontal panels.

I really like the outcome of the card in general and the cupcake with Dimensional Magic on the frosting plus the glittery cherry!

Hope this one will somehow pass the challenge set by Kellie. Did you know what my eldest son said upon seeing this card? "Mum is she going to a marshmallow party?" LOL!!!!



Thanks for visiting my blog and for your lovely comments as always.



God bless!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #8

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #7

And this week's theme is.....SEPIA.

Hello everyone! I'm now done with my Magnolia DownUnder Challenge #7 card. And before I even started with it, I searched for the definiton of "sepia". And here's what I found:
Sepia - reddish brown; a shade of brown with a tinge of red.

Wow brown! My fave colour!! So, I browsed on my papers and decided to use this one given to me by my SBS22 sister Kathy! The image was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and odourless solvent. And this lovely Tilda image was also a RAK from Deb (she's from another scrapbooking site). I took all the colours from the dp, played with my Nesties and here's the end product:

Would you believe I used more than 3 colours for Tilda's jumper? :) It's really an assortment of Prisma pencils to so I could come up with reddish brown...well, at least. LOL!

Thanks so much for looking and tomorrow I will be posting the photo of the blog candy that I'm giving away. You still have until April 20 to join and leave your comment (visit this POST for the blog candy).

Btw, I just had a check-up with my doctor yesterday afternoon. It went well but I will be having some procedures done though in 2 to 3 months. Please include me in your prayers that everything will be okay. Thanks!

God bless us all and have a nice day!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #7

Pam and Buster {Best Friends}

Howdy fellow stampers and bloggers! I'm here once again with another card to share. And yeah, I'm getting back on track...slowly. And I just hope I will be in high gear (like I used to) in no time. :)

This card features Pam and Buster from InStyle Stamps. I paper-pieced Pam using Heidi Grace dp which I also used on my panel and coloured the rest of her with my Prismacolor pencils. And oh, I also paper-pieced Buster's shirt. lol! And since Pam's dress has polka dots, I decided to make the dots myself for Buster's with my Sakura gel pen. How do you like it?

I also made a little scene on this card. I sponged SU! Soft Sky to make the sky and a bit of Versacolor sponging between sky and the ground. The sentiment used is from Studio G. Here's another shot...just slightly different angle than the first one.

They really look like BFF with their clothes and "cool smiles". lol! My colour combo for this one is Wild Wasabi and Groovy Guava. I really like the outcome as it looks so soft to the sight.

Visit the ISS blog for the sneak peaks and the ISS shop to buy these gorgeous stamps and digi downloads. ;)

Have a blessed day. Happy stamping!!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge

Good Morning from the Land Down Under!! Yes, after 5days of absence in the blogging world, I'm here once again sharing with you a card that I've just finished a few minutes ago. I'm so glad I was able to start making a card again and honestly speaking, I found it a bit hard at first as I have to keep the creativity juice flowing after not doing anything for a couple of days.

Anyway, there's a new challenge in town and it's the Magnolia Down Under Challenges! I felt so excited upon knowing about this challenge as I'm from the land Down Under as well (Australia). This is Challenge #1 & for this challenge we were asked for 3 things..

- there must be something RED
- you have to use Tilda (not Edwin)
- and the theme must be Autumn

And here's my card for this...


This particular Tilda image was just given to me as RAK from Debbie (of scrapbook.com). The papers used were also RAK from one of my SBS sisters' Kathy! She gave these to me last year and it's only now that I was able to use it. I coloured Tilda with Prismacolor pencils, gettingas close as possible to the colours of the dp. I embossed my Pumpkin Pie cs with Cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder and matted it onto a Choc Chip cs. I finished the card off with Prima flowers, a brad and red buttons.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog once again and I will try my very best to post more often and be productive the way I used to. :)

Have a blessed day and I'll see you on my next post.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge

SC214 Sugar Nellie

Hi everyone! I've been a bit busy this afternoon sorting my scraps and cleaning my work table. I only had the chance to make a card around 9pm and I'm glad I was able to finish it and upload it before 12MN. (and not my usual 2 or 3am uploads, lol!)

Anyway, I really like the sketch challenge today over SCS. I guess I'll be using this more often. Here's my take on the challenge using Sugar Nellie RAK image from Bec.

I forgot the name of the stamp (Bec, help me please?) but it's from Sugar Nellie. I coloured the image using Prismacolor pencils and odourless solvent. I did some sponging around the image with my Versacolor Baby Blue ink pad. The dp that I used is from Imaginisce (A Shore Thing) and some of its flowers are glittery, though can't see them on this photo. The dp is gorgeous IRL. I then embossed my right panel with Bloom Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug) and matted it with a yellow cs (unknown source).

Hope you somehow got inspired with my latest card. Until next post. Good night from Sydney, Australia!

Hugs,

SC214 Sugar Nellie

Introducing BIZZY BECS STAMPS!

Yes! There's a new line of stamps in town that you need to get your hands onto. It's the Bizzy Becs Stamps! Finally, these cute images are out and ready to be added on your collection. I'm one of Bizzy Becs' DT member and so, upon receiving the stamps this afternoon, I whipped up this card straight away so you can see this lovely girl in action.

I want you to meet "Candy Kisses"..



She's so pretty, isn't she? And cute as well! I coloured her with my Prismacolor pencils using odourless solvent and did some sponging around her with my Versacolor Baby Blue ink. I used the left-over Basic Grey paper from my last card as these Basic Grey papers are too yummy to throw away just like that. :) I coloured the heart that she's holding in "brown", making my Valentine a little different from the traditional red heart. ;) I finished it off by using Spellbinder's Daisy Heads Shapeabilities collection, cutting the last two small flowers and topped it off with Kaiser pearl in baby pink. I also put some Copic Spica glitter pen (clear) here and there to add some sparkle to the card.

There are 9 new cute stamps to choose from so check-out Bizzy Becs to see all of them. (this link will take you to the specific page where these stamps are).

Here's a closer look at Candy Kisses:

She's so adorable!! So, what are you waiting for? Head on to Bizzy Becs and be one of the first few to get their hands to play with these cute, brand new stamps in town!

Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!

MY FIRST MOJO MONDAY Card {Mojo72}

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! I'm very, very excited to share with you that I'm finally joining Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I've been seeing their badge when I'm blog-hopping and wondered what's in there. So, two days ago, I went to their blog and found out all about their sketch challenge. The sketch that I saw there was last week's challenge, so I decided to come back this morning and found out Mojo72, which is this week's challenge:

So, to make the story short, I decided to join. And I also found out that every First Monday of the month they do a contest for all the entries. They will choose 2 winners (and this will be judged) and the winners will get a choice of their Verve stamp set. How's that?

So, may I now present to you....my first MOJO MONDAY card...

A bit closer look at Sarah Kay..

And another angle shot..

I'm so glad on how this card turned out. I think, this will be one of my favourites among the cards that I made. :) My hubby likes this one as well.

So, what do you think on my first Mojo Monday take?

Will post the materials that I used later, we'll just have our dinner at the meantime.

Thanks for looking!

MY FIRST MOJO MONDAY Card {Mojo72}

My First Inspiration Challenge - IC164

Hello everyone! here's my first Inspiration Challenge over SCS. It's IC164 where you'll get your inspiration from the Lang Calendars. There were a lot to choose from but this one (Vintage Garden) caught my eyes. This is where I got my inspiration for my card below:

This panoramic-sized stamp has been with me for more than 2 or 3 months now. I bought it from Big W and its brand is My Inspiration (Wildlife Collection). This is quite huge as you can see it almost ate up the whole card, lol! I bought another 2 along with this so you can image that I still got 2 big stamps to ink up. :)

Anyways, hope you were also inspired by my card. I coloured the image with my Prismacolor pencils using odourless solvent, blending here and there to achieve the look that I want. This is also the first time I used my Fiskars "a dozen roses" border embunch and the Cuttlebug floral corners embossing folder for the Pomegranate cs.

Thanks for looking and I'll see you later with another card.

(Australian Open update: Federer will be playing so I might post very late...lol!)

God bless!

So Sweet n' Sassy - WT201

Hi everyone! Hope you're having a wonderful day wherever you are. I've made a card last night and it's for the Ways to Use It 201 challenge over SCS. You will look for some colour combos and apply it on your card (this is apart from the color combo challenge that they hold weekly). I used the colours from this site and I really liked the way it turned out. Here's my card with the Sugar Nellie image that Bec sent me:

I coloured her with my favourite medium (so far, lol!), Prismacolor pencils with odourless solvent and blending stumps. The card turned out to be so sweet and sassy (just like the name of the image).

Here are the stuffs that I used:

Stamp: RAK image from Bec - Sweet n' Sassy by Sugar Nellie
Papers: SU! Choc Chip, Only Orange, Gable Green, Tablex white cs, Basic Grey Archaic
Accessories: Prismacolor pencils, odourless solvent, blending stumps, Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder, Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch, Kaiser pearl in chocolate, Prima flowers


The colours really looked good together. What do you think? ;)

So Sweet n' Sassy - WT201

Retro Roxy!

Hi everyone! I made my 3rd card for InStyle Stamps using the ever-gorgeous Roxy the 2nd time. She looks so sweet and she's one of my favourites among the divas of InStyle Stamps.

I coloured Roxy using my Prismacolor pencils, odourless solvent and blending stumps. I used my Nestabilities to cut Roxy with her afro hair and one foot outside the frame. I've seen this technique when I was blog browsing a few days ago and tried it. And it worked! lol! I then die cut the Choc Chip with my scalloped nestabilities and punched each scallop with my Fiskars 1/8" circle punch, it's actually the first time I used it. My paper is a Kaiser paper which was untouched for 4mos now...gee! I think it was just waiting for the right image (and timing) and so it looked well with retro Roxy! The sketch was patterned after Taylored Expression Challenge #45 only that I placed the dew drops on the right side instead of left. I finished it off by using my newly-purchased Copic Spica glitter pen in pink on Roxy's bangles and earrings. IMHO the colours look great altogether (I'm biased...pink and brown is my top combo fav!) lol!

So...what do you think?

Retro Roxy!
