Card With a Frame

Happy Monday everyone!  Hope all mothers were pampered and felt so loved yesterday as you celebrated Mother's Day. Truly indeed that being a mother isn't easy but it's a blessing to be one. :)

Today's card is actually an experiment for me.  My churchmate showed me a card with a frame (machine-made) that was sent to her by a friend.  It's so cool as her friend inserted their family picture inside the frame and sent it as Christmas card.  To make the story short, she asked me to make her something similar to it so she could give 'em away come Christmas this year. LOL!  Well, it was indeed a challenging task ;) and I somehow came up with this one:

The boy in the photo is my youngest, Jhetro.  He's an avid Thomas the Tank Engine fan so I used colours, dp and embellishments related to Thomas. Note: This is just a sample card to show and highlight the frame so I didn't decorate it that much.

The opening is on top of the frame and this is where you can insert your preferred photo.

Here's a closer shot:

The frame was made using Nestabilities Labels Eight, embossed with Fiskars texture plates and I did some scoring here and there.  I will still have yet to experiment more and will be posting a tutorial when it's done.

Thanks for looking and have a lovely day!

God bless us all.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS!

This lovely song entitled "Mother I Miss You" is lovingly dedicated to my Mama who passed away 10years ago. It's a decade I know but her memories will always be fresh and vibrant in my mind.  I always miss her and I miss her much more especially on Mother's Day.

So, to all those who still have their mothers on their side, appreciate and love them while they're still alive.  Pray for her often and hug her as much as humanly possible on a daily basis. Do NOT be cold and distant and feel like she owes you because she's your mother.  You might regret it if you lose her suddenly. Remember: Nobody will ever love you like her.

MAMA, this is for you. I love and miss you so much!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

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!

Monochromatic Tilda (in REDS)

Happy Thursday fellow bloggers and stampers!  It's been awhile since I last posted and uploaded a card.  Well, there were some things that had to be prioritized and I'm glad I did as now I somehow have time to sit and stamp. :) Aside from that, my MOJO seemed to be on a "holiday" mode, so creative juice weren't really flowing nicely.  But it's slowly coming back! :)

This card that I have for you today is my entry to the ff: challenges:

TLC271 (SCS) - Vellum Emboss

Mad for Markers - Using shades of ONE colour- Monochromatic (in my case I used the "red" family)

Just Magnolia - Week 53: Bev's Sketch

First, let me show you the sketch:

And here's my card:

The square background in the middle is an embossed vellum and I used the Cuttlebug Victoria embossing folder for this.  And as for the colours, here are the Copic markers that I used:

R20, R22, R24, R27, R29

For the skin, I used: E00, E02 basically because I can't colour her skin red, LOL!!! Btw, this cute Tilda image is a RAK from lovely Jackie. Thanks so much Jackie!

Nothing too special about this card except that it's monochromatic. LOL!  And Tilda here has red hair. ;-)The edges were distressed and the oval panel was also distressed and inked with Scarlet by Versacolor. Btw, the oval was done using Fiskars hand circle shaper (I forgot the exact name of it, sorry).  My oval Nestabilities are too small to fit Tilda in, at least this one is a bit bigger. That reminds me, I have to have those  Nestabilities Classic Oval Large as it's big enough to fit even some Bible verses from ODBD. I finished off the card with some Prima flowers, rhinestones and dew drops.

Thanks for visiting and may our good Lord bless and keep you always.

Hugs,

Jhet

BLOG CANDY ALERT!

IC230 JAZZ IT UP in TEAL BLUE

Hello once again!  I'm back with my 2nd post for today. Kindly scroll down if you want to see my earlier post just in case you don't wanna miss it. ;D  This card is for today's Inspiration Challenge (IC230)over  SCS.I took my inspiration from this PAGE and I know when you see it, you can pinpoint the inspiration piece that I chose. :)

Since I've known and got familiar with TEAL, I became a huge fan of it.  Teal is the new brown. LOL!! It's a gorgeous colour especially if paired with my favourite colour - brown!  And that's what I did with this card. This one's a Teal Blue, but just the same - it has the teal. LOL!!!

My dp is from DCWV Garden Party and I used my Bow Easy to create this lovely bow.  The sentiment are individual stamps from the same set (Encouraging Words) by Stampendous.  I just lined them all up to create an encouragement card.  I cut it with my Oval Nesties and matted onto Scalloped Oval die-cut cs.  Flowers are combination of Kaiser and Prima with K&Company adhesive pearl at the center.

I'm so happy as I have been playing the daily SCS challenges since Monday!! I just hope I can also participate on Sunday's Featured Stamper once it's out. I guess I can, God-willing, but the card will be uploaded by Monday (Australia time) as I'm not an SCS Fan Club member.

Thanks so much for the visit and I hope you enjoyed browsing on my cards and I also hope you somehow find inspiration from it.

May the good Lord bless and keep you.

CARDS :)

Hi everyone!  Just want to share with you some cards that I have done last week. Why am  I only  posting this now, you may ask?  Well, it's because these cards were orders from me and I didn't want to post it not until the person get hold of them. And now, it's safe to share it, I guess. LOL!

Here are the cards:

BABY BOY BAPTISM

ANNIVERSARY

30TH BIRTHDAY

The lady who ordered these wanted a very personalized card hence, the appearance of the names of the recipients.  Good thing my Justrite Stampers Small Letter Set arrived just when I was about to finish everything.

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think of these by leaving a comment or two.

God bless!
