Hello Kitty/Luau Birthday Banner

Here's a Hello Kitty/Luau Birthday banner I made for our neighbor's daughter.  She will be celebrating her first birthday in Hawaii. Her mother is a Samoan, she of course wants her daughter to have the Luau birthday theme but the Daddy insisted of Hello Kitty.  This was a test on my creativity so I made my best to incorporate the two themes and hopeful that they would like it.

I tried to tie each banner together the other night but I dont think I will make it easy for them to ship it to Hawaii so I took the ribbon off.  I'm pretty sure they can manage to take care of it on the big day.  So without further ado, I want to share with you now my latest banner:

 I used Hello Kitty images as a spacer between the phrase.

 I used Hello Kitty font.

 Added two different colors of hibiscus to the font.

 There it is, just waiting to be assembled...

Hope they like it and hope you like it too!

Greeting Farm

I made this thank you card two weeks ago with the intention of giving it to a nice lady who works with my husband.  When she found out that I love eating fish, she came to work one day with a whole bunch of fish.  I was also intending to join one of TGIF's challenges but house work and home schooling are really getting into me.  How I wish I could play more those challenges...  I missed it :-(!

 

BTW, I cut the 3D flower using Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge and I used the quilling tool from Cuttlebug.  I also used Cricut Elegant Edges for the frames and doilies, which was set as a background for the image.  I used Martha Stewart glitter glue just to add some sparkles on the 3D flowers. 

Hope you love it!

Cricut Cartridge: Floral Embellished

Here are another bunch of cards I made using Cricut cartridge: Floral Emebellished.  And like the other times, I tried to get by with what I have in the other house.  Hope you like them!

 

 

 

Aren't those flowers gorgeous!?

Another Damask Decor cards

Here are 2 cards I made using Cricut Cartridge Damask Decor.  It's quick, easy and I like it!

 

Cricut Cartridge: Damask Decor

Here is  a set of Thank You cards I made using Cricut cartridge: Damask Decor.  Honestly, it came out as a set of thank you card because I do not have any kind of sentiment stamp while doing this project in the other house.  Well, that's a set back for having two houses but very slowly I'm dividing my stuff into two so I can do crafting on both houses.

 

Until next time...

Heartfelt Creation

It's been awhile since I last used my Copic markers.  At first, I made some mistakes but once I get the hang of it again, I just can't stop.  Below are some of my projects using Copics, Heartfelt Stamps and Spellbinder dies.  One of the stamps line that I've been dying to buy was Heartfelt Creations.  I think their flower collections are to die for.  Luckily, I got them at around 50% from one of my fave online store, Paper Maniac.  Sad to say, they did the sale because they're closing their stores.

 I colored the flowers with Copic markers and used Spellbinder dies on this card.

 No coloring for this card but instead of using the regular inkpad, I tried using the Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen, which are ideal for clear stamps.

 This is one of my faves for its clean and simple look.  I used Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen and Copic Markers for coloring.  I also used Sizzix Original "Postage Stamp" dies.

This is another one of my faves because of the color combination I used.

Thanks for dropping by!

Rediscovering felt

Are you one of those who had a huge collection of dies?  Guilty!  I remember not so long ago, how you have to have those gorgeous and expensive dies.  Then all of a sudden, we ignored them and just let those dies collected dust.   Well, time to get them out of its boxes, dies are back but this time, try not to buy and use instead what you have in your stash.  That's one promise I intend to keep.  I'm happy with my Cricut cartridge collection.

Do you know that one of the nicest material you can use in your dies are felt.  It is, plus its cheaper than a paper. You can get them at Hobby Lobby for 4 for a $1.  Here, I'll show you some of my projects and maybe it will inspire you too. 

I used Spellbinders, Sizzix, and Tim Holtz dies.

Anniversary Card

Hello there again,
Just wanting to share another card I made, which again was inspired from the special issue of Papercraft Magazine, Color Inspiration.  This was an anniversary card I made for my DH...

Some Mother's Day Cards

Its been awhile since I last posted some of my works. I think it was around Easter time. Well, here are some of my Mother’s Day card that I failed to post and mail, LOL. Well, there’s always a next Mother’s Day right!?

These batches of cards was inspired and scraplifted from PAPERCRAFTS Color Inspiration for Card Makers. I just love every color combination they had on that special issue so I have to try it myself.

Here they are:

Loving my Dell!

Loving my new Dell laptop.  Hope it won’t fail me the same way that my 5month old Acer laptop did. This is just a test using Windows Live writer.  Hope this will enable me to do entries for my blog easier.  Heck, I’ve been MIA for more than 2 months now. I missed crafting and missing my crafty friends too. No worries, I’ll be back soon!
