Love In Rose Garden

Love In Rose Garden is another square handmade card with a floral theme. To be specific, a paper rose theme. With 'Lots of Love' as it's sentiment, this card is suitable not only for birthdays but also for anniversaries or just to tell someone how much they are loved.

I am not sure If I had mention it earlier, but a couple of weeks back I won some lovely digital stamps from Limited Runs for The Cute Fox Cub Christmas Card and also I won a giveaway from The Ribbon Girls Blog. I had this lovely gift below.

Love In Rose Garden

I used a pink 14 x 14 card as base and layered it with a 13 x 13 black card. I then layered a 12 x 12 pink shade polka dot card on top of the black card. I embossed and hand card two different sizes of scalloped circle, using the same pink and black card that I used as base. And I stamped a 'Lots Of Love' sentiment on it. This lovey sentiment stamp is from Dreamees.

I diecut some green leaves, 8 to be specific and also rolled some paper roses. 11 paper roses of two shades and two different sizes and assembled them together with the leaves.

To give this card a glamourous look, I added some sparkle /shiny stickers. Again using two different size to decorate my Love In Rose Garden card.

Until my next post...always Craft With Love

Hugs And Birthday Wishes

Hugs And Birthday Wishes to every September baby especially to those celebrating their birthday today. I have not updated for more than two weeks.Was enjoying the SEA Games on TV but nothing can keep me away from crafting. I did complete a few projects  but the only thing is I couldn't find the time to update and share it here will all of you.

Now that the SEA Games are over with Malaysia being at the top of the medal tally with 145 gold medal (Yeayyyy) I am back my daily routine. It has been raining since last night but looks like Mr Sun is back at work now.  A long break over here. Everyone enjoying their long weekend with extra 3 days holiday.

HUGS AND BIRTHDAY WISHES

I am really excited to share this square Hugs And Birthday Wishes card that I made. Its the first time I am using this Dreamees stamp and I must confess that I fell in love with how clear the pattern comes out each time I stamped it. I must thank my Godmama for my first Dreamees stamp for my birthday present. I am a September baby too. It was and advance birthday present since my birthday is only on the 25 of September.

I used a white 14.5 x 14.5 card as base. I then layered it with a 13.5 x 13.5 patterned card from the Vintage Colors Romance pad from Craft Sensations. Using the same card, I stamped 5 flowers of 3 different sizes using Dreamees stamps set. I then diecut some green leaves from two different dies from M&C Boutique.

I then glued all the flowers and leaves on a border oval shape die cut pattern. I used some pearls for the center of the flowers and also some some art stickers for the corner of the card.  I stamped a Hugs, Kisses and Birthday Wishes sentiment at the middle of the card and added a tiny butterfly as the finishing touch.

Until my next update, Craft With Love.

Flying In The Winter

Hello Craft Lovers,

Taking some free time to share my third handmade Christmas Card. This time I started with a winter theme in mind. Again its something simple, no hand colouring just cutting and pasting.

Flying In The Winter

I used a yellow cardstock for base. The main feature for this card is a picture of a little bird in the winter. I cut it round and matched it with a black and yellow circular shaped that I embossed and cut. I also die cut 3 sets of poinsettia flowers.

I wanted this card to have a different fold, instead of the ordinary square or rectangle so I folded the front into two. And glued the poinsettias in a row...to make that card stand in a triangular dimension.

There you go, my third handmade christmas card with a winter theme. Looks like I got no choice but to find more time to craft. I have a few orders to complete and looking forward to make some handmade gifts as well.

Until then, Craft With Love.

May Your Christmas Be Bright

Hello Craft Lovers,

Hope your day have been crafty and fun. Its raining heavily outside. Just my favourite weather to craft. I planned to make at least two christmas cards today. But before I sit and craft away, I better share with you the 2nd handmade Christmas card that I made a few days back.

May Your Christmas Be Bright

For this card, I used a white border card from Create and Craft. Then I layered it with a green emboss scalloped shaped frame using the Auspicious embossing board from Glitter Girls.

Then on a red card I embossed a candle shape using the Christmas Impression board. I wanted this card to be simple, so I didn't pay much attention to the flame.

I die cut two sets of poinsettia flowers and glued it just below the candles and used some border stickers to highlight the candle.  And finally I used stickers for the Merry Christmas and Season's Greeting's sentiment.

That's all for today's card. Craft with love everyone

The Cute Fox Cub Christmas Card

Like my The Cute Fox Cub Christmas Card? Looks like its Christmas in August for me. I finally started making my cards. But so far only made 3.

I named this first card The Cute Fox Cub, well that's the name of this cute digital stamp that I won from Fabrika Fantasy. In this article Basket Weave Card, I did mention about my win and decided to put it in good use.

The Cute Fox Cub Christmas Card

I used a white card as base. Then using my Auspicious Embossing Board from The Glitter Girls, I embossed a flowing book shape which had stunning diamond frames and fancy corners on a red and green card and layered them with the base card.

I then die cut two poinsettias and glued them at both sides. At the center, I glued the Cute Fox Cub digital stamp which I coloured using Faber Castell colour pencils.

To add some gold touch to the card, I used gold border stickers and gold sentiment stickers.

That's it, my first handmade Christmas card for 2017.

Basket Weave Card

My first ever Basket Weave Card and I am excited to share it here. I just made a simple one, since it was my first try. Was searching for something different and came across this basket weave, so at once gave it a try. Will try to find some time and share a tutorial with you.

August is here and so far I only made 1 christmas card. Yes only ONE. I am soooooo way behind. Need to start desperately soon. I have had a busy week and didn't have much time to sit at my craft table and get creative

But there is a good news. I just received 3 beautiful digital stamps from Fabrika Fantasy for a challenge that I won at Scrapping4funchallenges blog. Its for my When A Butterfly Sees Flowers handmade card. I decided to choose all 3 christmassy digis so that I can have some unique and fun christmas cards.

Basket Weave Card

Back to my basket weave card, I used a light green card as base. That's the card that I used the basket weave technique on. It's actually very simple to make. I then layered the base card with pattern paper. And used gold border stickers for all four sides of the pattern paper. Using my spellbinder's Sapphire, I die cut a 'With Love' sentiment from a piece of black coloured cardstock.

The paper roses are also die cut and hand rolled then I glued them on a stamped leave that was hand cut. To make the card look more presentable, I added a few purple pearl embellishment.

In my next post I will be sharing with you my first handmade christmas card for 2017. Hopefully can share it by tomorrow. Until then, Craft With Love
