There are few more

Hello there! Did you enjoy yourself with your loves one during Valentine's day? I sure hope so! I didn't quite get to post all these cards before Valentine's day as I misplaced my memory card. So I ended up borrow from my friend. Here you go...

Same as above. I created this card with the same color combination and stamp sets along with coordinating die. I cut the sentiment strip with my zip zap scissor just to add extra element onto this card. 

And how about car with full of loves? As I wanted to keep the love die cuts as the focal point of this car, I decided to stamp the car stamp straight on to the card stock and colored with light grey marker. Then adhered with small buttons at the light of the 'tutu' car.

Next up is 

"Thinking of You, Always". Simple as that. All the kisses speaks how much you love your partner. Ha! I added the love shape die cuts at the end as it will be quite empty with only the kisses alone. 

Another simple and clean card. I then realized sometimes simple is better off than adding too much of details on it. It can simple as just adhere a large love die cut at the centre and add a simple sentiment at the bottom. Simple as that. You just have to play with the layout and sketch out the ideas then work from there. 

Now, the last card for today post. With unusual yellow, grey, red color combination, I'm not sure how this color combo will turn out but the result ain't that bad. Maybe it's only me..

I also played around with the flower die that I got from Papertrey a while ago. 

Thanks so much for visiting me... I hope you've enjoyed my cards! Have a great weekend!

Xoxo, M

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"

The Bookmarks.. & tiny more

*Note: You may notice that photos as below are brighten than usual. It's because I didn't have the time to take photos before work. So I only able took photos for them during noon.  It's bright and sunny and windy...

I made these bookmarks a while ago and I only realized I didn't take photos of them. Here they are :) 4 different designs. I simply love each of the designs.

 

 Besides, I also made a notebook which matching with the card that I made him few days ago. I haven't have the chance to send this present yet. :p Hope he will the notebook :)

 Last but not least, more baby cards, baby boy to be specific :) I bought these stickers a while back and decided to make full use of them. Very inexpensive.

I apologized for the shadow. I tried my best to take photo of it while it was windy during that time. Yet, hope you guys still like the cuteness of it. :)

Messy table= creativity in progress!

Sometimes, table is messy ain't bad thing. Why? It because when you mojo strike, you can start making straight away.It also a good excuses to the parents when they ask you to clean your room. Hahaha

 Special request from cousin for her friend's newborn. I hope the recipient will like it :)

 Special made for a youth who just celebrated his 14th yesterday. Happy belated birthday, E. :)

Happy reading, everyone!  Love, M xoxo

Embossed Flower Colors Trend Challenge

Embellish always have this amazing color combo which I seldom create with. This gave me a chance to step out from my comfort zone and add new color combo in my color's list. Truly inspire.

This will be my second post for the second challenges.Embossed Flower Colors Trend Challenge gives us the opportunity to dry/ heat emboss flowers along with unique color palette. Here's my work for this challenge.

I ran the flower die cut with a embossing folder and after I realized the impression is not what I expected, I used my bone folder to draw the lines at the petals.

 

Hope you all like it. Enjoy!

what a Sunday

Hello!

I hope you all blessed weekend! I know I did. My church had this '3 times a year' blood donation's event yesterday so I went after a good nap. In fact, I was the second last who registered before they close the counter. Phew.

Here's the photo. eeeeek

Note: My friend, a nurse, told me this is the standard size of need for sucking the blood out. In fact, there's a bigger needle.So she recommended me go and try the larger size. No way!

Anyhow, I felt good because I know my blood could save a life out there.

At night, before go to bed, I decided to make some cards last night because it seems like the tools were 'waving their hands' with me. Ha! Talk about imagination :). Here's my take of the night. 

 Die cut the border with felt. Added a different touch on the card.

 Double scoop of ice cream

 

 It's a girl!

 Another take for baby girl

Love you lots xoxo

I'm back

I've been giving excuses for not making cards lately. Friends were all worried and kept on remind me 'hey, don't forget to make cards else your blog is rusty!' I finally promised myself yesterday, at least make one card. One card. 

Guess what. Instead of one, I made four cards at the end. It's been a while that I make any cards since months ago. Geez. It actually took me a while to complete even one. Due to my 'complicated' minded, I hardly make a simple card. Simple as, one or two cutting, less stamping, less layers, not too much colors mixing around. In terms of 'simple', I think maybe it's too simple. I don't know. What do you think?

 Colorful buttons

 'My ♥ to your home'

 

Ice cream, anyone? :) 

Rotated the scoop of ice cream up side down, it became tulip. Ha!

Happy reading everyone. love xoxo
