LotV's Me and My Pony

 

This is for special someone who LOVE horses :) I hope she LOVE it!

The stamp image is from LotV, called "Me and My Pony" (£4). Bought this stamp a while ago but never used until now! I also used Martha Stewart's Edge/ Border punches to finish.

Hope you all like it.

Stampin' Up - All in the Family - Japan

 

I borrowed this amazing Stampin' Up stamp set called "All in the Family" (see below). I had to sketch before I start stampin on it. I only coloured in the faces, skin & hair; all clothing are stamped on the coloured / patterned paper, cut & stick on it. I requested all individuals what type/ colours of shirts, pants etc they wanted, so this was one of the tough piece of work. Oh my; I am grad finally I finish this. This is now air mailed to Japan for special someone ... I hope they like it.

Bunny Butt

 

Just LOVE this Bunny Butt card idea I saw on the web somewhere. I thought why not use this card for something else but from "Easter" card. Can be "B-day" card!

Happy Royal Wedding Day :)

What a card for this occasion... lol.

LotV's Wedding Couple

 

 

Here again, another wedding card from LotV's "Wedding Copuple" stamp. I used this stamp at least 6 times by now & I think I can continue to use this stamp forever (except someone decided to have 2nd wedding ... lol). This is my favourite wedding stamp and only stamp that I have in my collection. Truly a lovely card indeed.

Still maintaining on using the expensive Martha Stewart Lever Deep Edge Punch - Double Loop Weave (£18) instead of ribbon across the card. I think it went well on the loop punch.

Total regret on the sentinment - congrats. I personally wanted in "italic" style & should of done in slight light colour (not bright black!). Hopefully I do better next time; always learn from my mistake :)

Stamping Bella - Addy tude is a Cupcake DIVA

 

Having a little break from Stampin' Up; this is my another favourite stamps from 'Stamping Bella' collection called "ADDY tude is a CUPCAKE DIVA" (£8).

I love Stamping Bella... Why are they so expensive!? Why don't they sell thier entire stamp collections in the UK?! Why can't we buy their latest stamps?! Why are they based in the US?! So not fair!! I want their entire stamp collections! (Sorry for my stressed out speach... hard day @ work; I needed it...).

For this stamp image, I used Woodware Micro Beads (£4 for 12 colours) on the cupcake icing (see below). One regret; I should of coloured in before I sprinckle the micro beads... As you can imagine, it was a hard work to glue them on.

A little touch of happy b-day sentiment to stamp inside the card to finish. It's Paula P's Personal Impression stamp collection. Very nice :)

Birdie in the Cage card

 

Using Marianne Design dies; Large Bird on Branch (£7) and Birdcage - Tunis (£11). I went totally original with this idea; I could not seem to find anyone making a card with the new Marianne Design's birdie in the Cage card on the net anywhere!!?! I pictured totally different from what I made above. My next card will be better (hopefully).

I made this card for a good friend who did not received my hand-made Xmas card (I sent to her old address so she didn't get it). She wanted a card from me so bad....; I made one especially for her. She has a talking bird @ home so I thought I do something with 'birdie'.

As you can see, I finished up the card @ 2am... My night crafting never ends! Instead of a bird song, I can hear fox screaming at the back forest! I'm too scared to see outside now... nite nite.

Patch an Owl cards

 

 

New 2011 Woodware stamp set called "Patch An Owl" (£10). Yes, I bought this stamp set after I attended a class @ The Glitter Pot in Surrey.

I heard from few people that Francoise Read is one of the very professional card crafter before I attended the class but truly, seriously, she was really good in every way. Prepared well in advance so that we had everything we need to make a card, all cut into the right sizes, good paper selection (latest!), using ribon, punches, stamping, could choose paper colours etc. I was truly satisfied! She was previously a teacher (?) so as you can imagine, noob like me could follow her easily all the way.

We made two card above in the morning; Oh my; so nice!

Fairy cupcakes - Part 1

 

I made this card for a lady but she has a young daughter so I made it for her (more like). I think I "over did it" a bit... Looks too messy...I don't have much time so I think I will go with this card but I have another idea (sort of) so I might re-make this card very soon.

The only thing I liked about this card is the below.

Its "kanban" stamp collection that I bought in the summer this year. I found out that this stamp collection has discountinued so if you find it on the net, I would suggest to buy it!

Oh no - I wanted this card to be nice.... Not satisfied with the card... One of thoes days, I guess.

Wedding Day

 

Oh my - I just fall in LOVE with stamp/ card!!! Stamp image is from Lilly of the Valley collection. I saw it on various magazine few months ago & I finally bought some :) Just Love them all!!!

First of all, the stamp image was quite big than I thought it would be! All of their stamp images are big. The stamps are unmounted so it was cheap (£3.85). Good. I think they only sell online so I don't think we can buy them in stores (well I have not seen it yet). I waited over 2 weeks until delivered to my door. I have to say their services are not good / very slow.... I bet they are having too much "tea breaks" in their business! I don't think I never waited this long for anything else before in my life! There was no comm. either so I never knew when I was going to get that stamps... I just waited....

Love their stamp images tho; I spent over an hour looking through all stamps. I DID added all stamps into the shopping basket so I had to delete so many when I got to the checkout! On the end, I did buy few.... (evil site - I better not go & surf there again too soon!!!).

I gave this card away already (it was very hard to let it go!!)... I hope they liked it...

Ah, I might make one for myself to keep it in my card collection :)

Ah, so nice!!!
