A Special Fold For Raya

Hello Craft Lovers,

I am back again to share with you the special card fold that I made. Again its for Hari Raya or Eid al-Fitr. This is the second time I am making this card fold. What I like about this fold, is that it reminds me of one of my childhood games.

This card fold needs some extra measuring and I have my Ultimate Crafter's Companion board to thank for to get the right scoring and that makes it so much easier to fold. I also added some embossing and stamping with embossing folder to make this card fold unique. It took me some time to complete, with all the added touch included but I am satisfied with the completed project.

Instead of cream or white, this time I used a black card as the base card to highlight the yellow and green. Only at the center I used a piece of pattern paper to give a little pattern border for my sentiment.

Sorry I am in a rush at the moment, so can't include any tutorials for this card fold. But will share a tutorial in future posts.

The sky has gone dark, I better go and take the laundry in. Until then Craft With Love.

Green Oh Green

Happy Saturday Craft Lovers,

The weekend is here again. How are all of you craft lover's getting on? What's on your agenda for this week? Any new craft projects?

I don't think so I have any on my mind right now. Just need to share all the cards I have made for the past two days. Above is the second Raya card that I made. Again the concept is the same as the first Raya card that I shared yesterday in Let's Go Green.  But for this second card, I didn't used any light green card. Instead I added more red to it, to add to the celebration mood.

For my next post I will share a different card fold. Until then, don't forget to Craft With Love.

Let's Go Green

Hello Craft Lovers,

Have been busy making cards for the past two days. Made one card for Papa since Father's Day is just a couple of days away and I also made 5 Hari Raya cards for family and friends. Since Raya or Eid al-Fitr as it is known around the world is just a week away, I don't think I can post the cards. It will not reach on time. So have to give it by hand when I meet all of them.

For this Raya card above, I used a green card for base. I blend the light green and cream card as a background for my red flowers. I used a doily border punch for the cream coloured card and I embossed the light green card with a leafy embossing folder.

The red flowers are stamped and die cut using my Spellbinders Sapphire. The white doily resembles a plate or saucer with two ketupats on it.  The ketupat (a type of rice dumpling) is made from rice, packed inside a diamond shape case/pouch  that is of woven coconut leaf. But I made it out of green and yellow colour paper, definitely without any rice inside.

I better keep this post short and sweet, since I have a few more other cards to share with all of you.

Until then, don't forget to Craft With Love
