Parachute Boy - Wishing you the best

 photo IMG_7270.jpg

Another stamp set that i got from Deasy Designs before they retired their physical stamp set! The copic coloring emphasizing on the parachute boy and the rest of the paper colors towards more white. And of cause not forgetting the sentiment by Kristina Werner from Simon Says Stamp.

Even if the physical stamp set has retired, you can still purchase their digital stamp set because they are still operating online! Furthermore, their digital stamp set has more images than the physical ones. I am not into digital stamp sets because i don't own a printer in my room. Too troublesome for me to print them. haha... or should i say, i am too lazy.

Everyday i look back on the day i started scrapbooking and cardmaking.... never regretted and would like to move forward from here... Wish me luck!

Just For You

 photo IMG_7269.jpg
A quick mini card made for someone when i sent over a happy mail.

This was real simple - Mist and stamp.

I think i used either Mister Huey's Buttercup or Sunshine and Opaque White. Stamp from Unity and Hero Arts.

Hi people! I've got this very pretty stack of Simple Stories Documented papers but the colors are very neutral which was a little hard for me to use because i am so used to using bright fun colors on my cards. I've been trying to use more papers from each of my paper pad so i can downsize my collections and have more space to buy the pretty new ones! haha..

So here's my take with Hero Art's wedding stamp along with the vintage brown color scheme. The yellow will definitely stand out on this card. And the sentiment is the sweetest.

Sail Towards Our Future

 photo _MG_5969.jpg


First and foremost... HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY! Eh, i do have a card dedicated to Mothers' Day however it is a special order for someone. So i can't share it yet! However, I will share another beautiful card made for one of my customer and i am so glad she loves it because she requested to have a card with the sentiment reading "Let's sail away from the past and sail towards our future.". So once i saw this phrase, first thing that came to my mind was to do something with boats or red & blue or sea kind of card.

Brain-storming starts and if you follow my page on facebook, you would have seen the sneaky preview whereby the papers i used initially was just plain red and blue cardstock and the image was uncolored. I must say that i had to color the image 2-3 times before i got all the elements (sky, water, boat) correct. The blue of the sky was either too close to the sea of the colors of the sail didn't seem to blend to with the background. All i can say is to keep trying and take a break if you have been coloring for an hour plus. Walk away and come back when an inspiration hits you.

The side view of the card. Very satisfied with the dimensions. And it was after i punched the borders that i realize they were perfect for inter-twining twines! Best way to create waves...

Colored the image with copics and the sea had a little stickles to make it shine. papers from Studio Calico and DCWV. Hope I'm keeping you inspired!

Happy Easter

 photo _MG_5540.jpg
These bunnies/rabbits are pure cuteness. And i made this card for my friend who was baptized on Easter Day. Congrats girl!

Anyway, recently I've been eyeing on Holland Lop bunnies.I didn't actually have a pet before except for Fishes. My house used to have hamsters last time but that belonged to my siblings. Anyway, i've been craving to have a pet who is good to snuggle with yet not smelly. Smelly as in those Guinea Pig smelly - those are like "OMG smelly".... And Holland Lop seem to be easy to maintain like a good pet to make a start in taking care of another life. I'll see how......

Army Boy

Posting these 2 cards featuring Deasy Design stamp set. They are no longer producing physical stamp set, just digital ones now. So you can still find these images on their website.

There isn't alot of stamp companies out there producing such cute military related products. And it is a huge deal in the States that their men are always being dispatch out to fight a war and our Singapore boys are sent to National Service when their around 20 years old. So that's when people say they are turning from boys to men.

As looked into the stamp set and wonder what cards i should make, i started thinking about the times when my boyfriend was enlisted inside. And the memory that surfaced was the time during my 21st Birthday. He was not sure if he could book out that weekend to celebrate my 21st. So this thought inspired me to create a few birthday cards for boys/men who are having training and can't celebrate their love one's birthday.

The lovely sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. Totally fits into the "theme".

Purple Themed


There's always a color, character or shape a person likes and that's what i always try to fulfill when I receive card orders.

This order was all about purple and valentines. One card for a friend and another for a love one.

So here's my take.

This card is for a friend.

 photo DSC00789.jpg
Pull the red ribbon out and you will see the greeting. It is still a card so you can open it up and write your message inside.

 photo DSC00790.jpg
This card is for the love one.

Valentines Series

I did a mini Valentine's Series back in February and it was a mini peak period for me. Abit of customization cards here and there plus the Chinese New Year celebrations kept me busy.

Inspired to do a polariod frame card and using arrows since it was trendy at that point of time. Now is the Anchor trend though~

Another Polariod frame appearing but this time, it is a shaker frame. Die cut lots of different hearts in different tones of red to put inside the frame. It is pure cuteness!

Confession time, i went missing for so long cause i have been so busy with my full time work.

Anyway, time to start uploading all the cards I've done so far. Hopefully i won't back log too much.

Used this stamp bought from Deasy Designs before they actually closed production for their physical stamp sets. They are now only available in Digital formats. Not a big fan for digital stamps because my house printer is in my bro's room. Ye know, it's a hassle to bring my mac over just to print the images.

Anyway, this Aero Boy is such a cutie and he was one of the first few images i used Copic to color.
