I'm BACK!!!

Yay! My blog is now once again up and running!!! Thanks to my husband who did all what he could to fix this problem. Even if it meant deleting some of our files from April onwards! LOL! But then of course, before he did it he transferred most of our files to an external drive just to make sure we wouldn't lose anything important :D

I missed each and every one of you! I will be posting the cards I made the past week in one GO so you can be updated with everything in just one sitting. LOL!

I would also like to thank my very lovely and kind friend Kathy for posting for me. Thanks sooo much Kathy! I really appreciate it. I shared to her the good news re: ODBD Customer Card of the Day and my eagerness to share it with you but I was having blogger problems then. And I was sooo glad when she said yes if she could do the "shoutout" for me. :) Thanks once again, Kathy!! :)

Happy Saturday and have a blessed day everyone!

Be back later! :)

Card of the Day!!!!

Tilda with Bell Christmas Card

Hello!!! It's already 1am here and before I go to sleep, I would just like to share with you the card that I made a few hours ago. I've been having mini-migraine attacks and it's an on and off thing since yesterday afternoon. Anyways, I won't make this post long so I can have a good sleep.

This is a Christmas card and I'm so excited because I used Tilda with Bell which is a RAK stamped image from this very kind lady named Norma. This lady really makes fab cards and has addiction with Tilda! (it's a self-confession LOL!) So if you have the chance, visit Norma's blog so you'll know what I'm talking about. Thanks so much again Norma, I really appreciate it. Norma stamped and sent me heaps of Tilda images and I can't wait to colour them in and use them on my cards. :D

Here's the first one that I've finished:



Isn't Tilda so gorgeous holding that bell?? To those of you who always follow my blog, you don't normally see me using two dp's in a card. I'm not so comfy using 2 dp's because my card may appear too loud to look at (iykwim). But then, I've been seeing lots of stampers using 2 dps (and even 3) so I might as well try it with this one. Anyways, this pretty Kaisercraft paper is a double-sided paper so they really complement with each other. Tilda's background was stamped with Inque Boutique snowflakes using Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. Btw, Tilda was coloured with Copics and I went over in some parts of her clothes with Copic glitter spica pen (the camera wasn't able to capture the sparkle, though)

Here's a more closer shot of the card:

Okay, have to hit the bed now. I need to sleep. Thanks for visiting and let me know you've been here by leaving a comment or two. :D

God bless you! Happy Sunday!!!!

Wedding Card

Hello once again! This is my second post for the day so scroll down if you wanna see my first post.

This card is another requested card by one of the youth members of our church, the lovely Louise. She asked me 2 weeks ago to make a wedding card for her friend and my mind was so blank to put together a wedding card (for the past few days) that's why I just finished this one few hours ago. My Mojo seems to be somewhere else lately..good thing it came back right on time. LOL!

She didn't give me any particular colours so I called the shot for this one. Here it is:


My card base is a white cs, then I matted this shimmery dp from Grant Archival with a black cs and adhered it to the card base. I used my ticket corner punch on the four sides of the dp so I can put on some tiny pearls on it.

Originally, the image and the sentiment (which is a rub on) were stamped and rubbed on together and was die cut using Labels One. But when I did my sponging, I didn't like the way it turned out. So I cut half of the Labels 1 and just took the part where I rubbed on the sentiment. I then stamp the hearts image again and embossd it using clear ep, cut it with my circle Nesties and adhered it to my scalloped Nesties.

To hide the edge of the cut Labels 1, I then adhered black grosgrain ribbon then put another organdy ribbon on top of it. The rest is self explanatory. I hope she likes this one when I hand this to her tomorrow.

How about you? What do you think of this card?

Thanks for looking.


HUGS,

Red and White Birthday

Hello!!! Whew! It's been a week since I last posted here. Been quite busy around the house and making requested cards as well. Hope you're all doing very well wherever you are.

This card was actually requested to me by a friend to be given to another friend. :D It's for an 18th birthday and she wanted the colours to be just red and white. I have actually been having problems with my guillotine (the cut is going slanted) and been eyeing for the Making Memories trimmer (as per the product review, it works very well). I believe the paper trimmer/cutter is every cardmakers' best friend. Do you agree with me?? Well, it's because our activity when making cards is mostly cutting...from the card base up to mattings and so on. So, it has to be something really reliable. I was still able to use my guillotine but I bought a pre-cut card bases just to make sure. :D

Okay, here's my card and let me know what you think..

Yes! I already have the white embossing powder!! I've been looking for this but it's always sold out. Good thing when I went to our LSS yesterday, they have these newly-delivered embossing powders and luckily, I found a white one. This ep is from Hero Arts.

I stamped my ODBD Scripture Collection 2 bible verse with Versamark and heat-embossed with white ep. The dp is Breeze by Prima from their Harmony Collection while the red cs is from Bazzill. The flowers were made using Shapeabilities Daisy Heads and ran through my Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder. I finished off the card by putting pearls on its center and to the 2 corners of the card.

I have just finished another card but will post it in a little while so stay tuned.

Thanks for visiting and have a lovely day!

God bless!

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Hello fellow bloggers!! We've just arrived from our Bible study and we had a very nice study and review of the things that we've learned from the Old Testament. :D There are really a lot of things to learn when it comes to the Word of God and everytime you read it, there will always be a new and fresh revelation regarding the promises of our dear Lord.

Anyways, I just want to share with you the card that I made for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge #18 -- Christmas in July!! Yay! Can't wait for Christmas as we will be going home to the Philippines for a one-month holiday! :)

I don't have any Christmas themed Tilda so I just improvised by colouring her with Christmas colours. Plus, I made a little scene here. It may seem that Tilda is looking at the wintery scene outside the window.

Here have looksee..

The trees were stamped with Versacolor Olive then heat-embossed with clear embossing powder. I also did sponges for the snow and for the sky. Yes, I already have the "sky" ink colour which I received the other day....the SU! Ballet Blue and Bashful Blue. :)

Here's a close-up of the "wintery scene outside the window:

The sentiment was stamped from the part of the wintery scene that I made, hence, the pine tree beside the words "Be Merry!"

This card is also for the ff: challenges:

- Magnolia-licious Highlites

- In The Cottage Studio (Cottage Rumble #12)

- One Stop Craft Challenge (Challenge #39)

The themes are all Christmas in July so I'm sure my card qualifies for these challenges.

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!

Stamps: Tilda (RAK image), See D's (Be Merry sentiment), Pine Tree (unknown brand)
Inks: SU! Soft Sky, Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue, Versacolor Olive, Versafine (red)
Papers: green and red cs, Kaisercraft dp (Pear Tree - Snow Finch)
Accessories: Copic Markers, Prismacolor pencils, Nestabilities, heat gun, clear embossing powder, sponge, Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch, pop dots, Stickles, Kaiser pearl (green), Vintage Corner (Cuttlebug)

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

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!
