Finally got my hands in craft

... and glue.. and cut..and punch...yeappp! Few more weeks till Christmas.

I made all these Christmas cards at a lovely friend of mine, Marlene's place on last Friday for a Christmas bazaar. We challenged each others to make at least 24 cards (at least). We had a great laugh when the clock hits 2 am in the morning and we still have few things to touch up. So basically both our challenges kinda failed... in a good way :) need to sleep.

So...you'd get this if you get challenge up at midnight...

I played around with my new PTI's stamp set. Love the simplicity and Marlene is kind enough to lend me her baker twine. 

... a "merry Christmas"

The original of this card is without the berries die... and I thought..'it looks kinda bored'. So that's the reason I decided to add on the berries and leaves die cut. 

... a "Holiday Greeting"

I didn't expect this card will look gorgeous with this patter paper. The leaves in the patter paper are glittery and just love the red, black, gold color combination.

... a "Peace be with you"

Decided to leave it as it is. Again, love the simplicity of all the cards above. Even though it took some time for me to apply the foam tape at behind of the tiny slimm-y font die, it worth doing it when I know the outcome is gonna be awesome.

Anyhow, I managed to sell two sets of these cards (3 pcs in one set) and few old cards during the Christmas bazaar on last Sunday. It was a great experience for me. I didn't earn big money but earned the experiences. Thank you to an aunt who been doing this years now. She told me, "as a crafter, never give up easily. Life is all about learning and experiencing disappointment, it doesn't mean end of the world. You just have to keep going and keep trying."-  Thank you for the reminding, auntie. I will keep that in mind. Never give up but keep trying.

November gonna end in few more days. Geez.. time flies. Few more weeks till Christmas and I need to send all the Chirstmas cards out before it is too late. 

Anyways, if you would love to drop a comment regarding my cards, please do so. Till then, stay safe and god blessed y'all. Love xoxo

Midnight work

I made these couple nights ago before go to bed. When I woke up the next morning, 'geeez...did I make these?'  One of my favorite time to make cards.Ha! Here's my take. 

This is one and only card that I made during my last visit back to Sydney in September this year. I got all the supplies when I go to a craft store. *excuses *wink :)

The first card was the one that I made during the night.

Then I realized the brown color is too strong so here's the second take which I slightly changed the color combo. It can be better. Pattern and color combo's wise. 

Next up is a 'thank you' card by using the same stamp set. I creates a little window on it and stamped the sentiment inside. And I also added a little diamond sticker at the center of the patter.

'Hello Friend' is from the same stamp set that I used for the two cards above but in different color combo and pattern design.Love the simplicity.

 

Last but not least, a tutu onesie card for my girlfriend who just gave birth to a baby girl.

I hand-cut the onesie shape out from a patter paper and adhered some buttons, blings and of course, the tutu!!! At first, I only adhere one layer of tutu but on the second thought, 'this is not enough for the puff'. More tutu please!!

I was inspired from the tutu dress that my dearly friend, Li-ya who made a tutu dress for her little jellybean a while ago. Love her creativity. Love the cuteness.

That's about it for today. Love y'all :)

Friday Love

Good day, everyone!

It's already the first October! 
 
I hope you all are doing good wherever you at and having a great time with your loves one. For the past few weeks, I was busying at work and... at home as well. My brother, SIL and nephew had moved to Miri and were staying with us while waiting their apartment is undergoing renovation. So we all who included my parents (the grandparents for Laurence) were busy playing with him. All good though (:

Anyway, SIL had requested a 1 month birthday card for brother's friend's baby boy. So I decided to make one after back from supper with brother's family (: 

I cut the cardstock into an onesie shape. Cuteee (: I die cut and colored the little truck and paired it with two buttons. At first, my plan was keep it simple but decided to put the scallop edge around the sleves. I'm not sure whether it is a good decision or not but hope the recipient will like it. 

Sorry for the poor lighting :p

For the second card, I actually made the stripes background a while and left them on the table for quite some times. Before I sleep, I decided to give them a home. haha. So here's my take.

Notice the measure tap ribbon? Love it. I got it from a craft store while I last visited Sydney.

That's all for this post. Have a great weekend loves. Till then, take care and much love, 

xoxo, M

Sister Love

Sister is the Grey and I'm the Pink :)

It's good to have a sister :) It's even better when the sister is sharing same interest too. Haha. We was out for lunch and walked around in the shopping mall. Sister and I decided to get ourselves each a Pandora bracelet when sister spotted there's a store is having a 20% off sales. 


The love of sisterhood... xoxo

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
