hello love

In about 4 days time, it's world's XOXO's day. Or whatever. Valentine's day is approaching and unless some stroke of whirlwind romance hits me, I will be alone this year. 


This is fine with me because I do not mind to share the love with my family. With steak and red wine and/ or some chocolate fondue perhaps. Ha!

Now, with Valentine's day being just a few days away, the love bug finally decided to hit me recently. I managed to made few love love cards and honestly. I love it! Instead of sitting there and watching tv, I decided it's about time to pick up the tools and make some cards. No regrets. Very simple and clean design for this time.

Ideas were flying around the room the other night and I came out with this....

I was also super inspired after created the first card, and couldn't wait to use the same technique by die-cutting the alphabets and create another valentine's card. 

It's definitely simple and clean design for this time. Simple and clean are usually not my design style yet I need to learn to be 'simple minded' some time. 

Maybe I should post some of the details of the cards. It seem very simple and I tell ya... it is simple to make. I'm sure your partner will value it so much if you decide to make something (card, cake, cupcake etc.) for her/him. I'm not saying you must create something like this but at least some words that will cheer up his/her day. Be creative. 

Ready for much more easier and simple card? I'm ready and I'm surprise with the outcome. Love... love it! I think it's only takes about 6 minutes to create each cards below. 

Good grief, that was fast and easy. I think I'm in love. Happy indeed!! I hope with this post, it will inspire you, you, you and you... to do/make something special for your loves one. Mom, dad, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, neighbor, nephews, nieces, friends or even your kitty kitty cat or pup! Anyone.

Thanks for stopping by and have a happy day, dear friends!

xo, M

Updated: WOW! How can I forget this card?! It's one of my fav among all these. Lucky that I doubt checked my photos before I dooze off for tonight. Here you go. "You + Me = Forever"

A gift for them

HAPPY 100'S POST!!! 

I never think I've the motivation to keep this blog alive for so long. haha

Anyway, this will be a long post with cards that I made with PTI's latest dies and stamp sets.


I played with PTI's latest stamp set and dies. What can I say. They are so yummy-licious to play with. Love. THEM! PTI rocks! Haha.. I made note pards and cards for my far far away's families and friend.


For this card, I stamped woodgrain background stamp (designed by Dawn). After that, I die cut and stamped the graduate's stamp on it. I felt want to add on a bling on it. So I added a stripe of diamond that I bought from local craft store. I'm pleased with the outcome.

I also made another graduation card for a friend who graduated recently. In terms of the color and design, this card is totally different from the previous one. Hopefully my friend will like it because I'm not too sure whether this design/ color combo will give her a heart attack. haha (hopefully not)

I kinda like the simplicity of this card. Stamp, color, embellishment and a bit blending as the shadow. Done. Simple yet cute. If you can notice at the licence plate, it said ' Birthday Boy'. Yup. I made this for one of my male friend who just had his big 30's ( i think :p) few days ago. Happy Birthday, Matt!

I made these two note pads weeks ago and didn't get to post them. Due dates of assignment just won't let me have the chance to finish making them.  Butttt.. finally! Now then I realized that most of stamps are from PTI. They're just too yummm for not using them. Haha :)

More note pads. This time. Be warn. They're too cute to use :)

3 set with 6 different designs.

Hope all the recipients will love them and find them useful. Nothing expensive. It's all about how creative can you be. 

Last but not least, a father's day card. I just decided to make this card when I'm cleaning the table. The stamp set is from Hero Arts that I bought a while ago. Brads are gifted from Marlene. Ribbons from SU!. Oh yes! how can I forget about the background stamp. Yes. It's the same background stamp that I used for the first card. I just arranged it in vertical layout. After stamped the background, I applied a layer of glue with glue stick and tissue paper after that.

The ribbons are not perfect. Still need some adjustment on it. But I think my dad don't mind or he won't even care about it. hahaha :D I love you, papa!!

And now, they're ready to be post. Much love from me! :)
