CAS31 POP IT UP CUPCAKES!

Happy Wednesday! I will be sharing with you today my take on CAS31 challenge. The challenge is to use dimensionals on your card to pop up something hence the title of the challenge: Pop It Up!

I did this card a few hours after the challenge was posted. I just pulled out a white square card, looked at it for awhile and decided to use my Hero Arts Cupcakes that seemed to be neglected for awhile now. This is really out of my comfort zone as I don't normally do a single-layer card and use Copics to colour any image on it. I didn't even have any planning prior to making this card, I just stamped, masked and used colours randomly. Of course, I have to pop up something, and that's when I decided to pop up the middle cupcake.

The middle cuppie was stamped thrice and the topmost layer is of course, the flower topping. I hope you can see the dimensions here:

Since I chose the middle cupcake as the "highlighted" image, I jazzed it up using my Copic Spica glitter pen and a generous amount of Icicles!! YUM!

Thanks so much for the visit and if you can, pls leave a message so I'll know what you think of this card. :)

God bless you!

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.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

It's Father's Day here in Australia, today! Happy Father's Day to all Dads!!! Here in Australia, we celebrate Father's Day on the first Sunday of September.

Just a quick post as I don't want DH to see this before he gets the card, LOL! I did this card more than 2weeks ago for a particular CAS challenge over SCS and that is to create Masculine card. I also did this for a Colour Combo challenge (SCS as well) and that is to use Close toCocoa, Vanilla and Taken with Teal.

Here's my simple card:


All images were from Clearly Inspired Nature set. I stamped the moose first then masked it and then stamped the background for an effect. :)

Okay, now I have to write my thoughts inside the card.

'Til next post! Have a blessed day!

Romans 8:28

Good evening everyone! Hope everything's going well with you wherever you are at the moment. I wanna share with you today the card that I made yesterday wherein I used my new Brenda Walton Beyond Postmarks dp by K&Company!!!

Look how gorgeous the dp is:

It's very lovely, isn't it??!! Well, I got this paper from Windsor Cottage Botanicals at a very reasonable price! I was so excited that's why I decided to use it on this card.

I started with a Mellow Moss base, and I matted my Beyond Postmarks dp onto a Bravo Burgundy cs. Nope, I don't know how to use a sewing machine and I don't have one so I just did a faux stitching here. LOL! The stitches on the verse panel had to be criss-cross just like I did with the edges of the card but something wrong happened along the way that it ended up with an unknown kind of stitch! LOL!!

I stamped my ODBD Scripture Collection 1 verse onto Whisper White, cut with Labels Small then sponged with Versacolor Petal Pink and Misty Mauve. I finished off the card using Prima flowers, Kaiser flower (Dusty Pink) and Paper Rose which I think really complemented the yummy dp. :) This card goes to my favourites for sure! ;)

I will post my take on LSC236 later tonight when my migraine goes away. :( I have it since early this morning and it's very painful.

Be sure to visit Windsor Cottage Botanicals for discounted paper craft supplies. If you're a first time customer, you're entitled to a 10% off your first order and not only that, Linda (the kind owner) is having a 25% off on most of her designer papers at the moment including K&Company!!

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!

SC244 When I Pray, You Answer Me

Yes. And that's our God...He hears and answers prayers. AND that's for SURE! :)

This card was done for the sketch challenge (SCS244) over SCS. The sketch is fairly simple but effective. I used both sides of my leftover Wild Raspberry dsp (K&Company) for this card. My Bible verse which is from ODBD Scripture Collection 2 was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black, heat-embossed then die cut using Spellbinders Labels Small. I then sponged around the main panel while it's still inside the die then Cuttlebugged it using Floral Fantasy embossing folder.

I really like how it turned out. I guess this will be one of my favourites among the cards that I made (well, as of today, LOL!)

Thanks for the visit and hoping to hear any comments from you.

God bless us!

Bible Verse Cards

It's September!! Happy 1st day of Spring to everyone from Australia! Wow! Time really flies so fast..and before we know it, Christmas is already around the corner! Spring is one of my favourite times of the year, not only because of the blooming flowers but also because of its very lovely weather. Thank God for every seasons that He made. Everything's lovely!

Okay, let's get on with the cards that I made. I actually did 3 for the past 3 days and here they are:

The first two cards were actually made as Sympathy cards. My churchmate asked me to make one for her friend so I made two so she would be able to choose. I experimented on these actually. I didn't know what it's like to ran a heat-embossed image/sentiment to a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Well, it looked gorgeous! (as you can see, LOL!) I stamped the verses with Versamark and my ink colour of choice, heat-embossed with clear ep, die cut with Nestabilities then sponged around it while it's still inside the die and then ran it through the Cuttlebug embossing folder.

I did the same thing with the 3rd card:

I've been organising my paper stash last night when I saw this lovely dp from Imaginisce. And since I already have the Bible verse ready (stamped, sponged and die cut), I decided to make a card using this dp.

I tried to make it simple as I want the focus to be on the Bible verse not on anything else. I punched the corner using this SUPER bargain corner punch that I bought yesterday from Officeworks (they're in clearance). Yes, there are 3 corner punches/pack for only .99 cents!!!!! I've been seeing this corner punches before but they're a bit exy and they're not the Fiskars or EK Success type, no they're not. To give you an idea how they look like, I took a pic of the punches.


We went to Officeworks after I visited our LSS. I was looking for a binder for my stamps organization, I just bought an A4 2-ring binder as I'm still not decided really what sort of organization I'm going to use. We'll see how it goes.

Okay, time to do some house chores for now. Thanks for visiting and may you all have a blessed day!
