Love my mum in red (ML001)

2011-06-11T08:35:00.000-07:00

My very first mother's day card which is equally backdated. Seriously excuse me for all these. This design is exactly the same one i did for Show Your Love - Pink Love card. My customer requested the wordings to be changed to Happy Mother's Day.

I really do love making these envelopes.... Gives a really exclusive touch to my cards.

Have a good day tomorrow. Good night...

Cottage Purple Birthday Card (GB005)

2011-06-11T08:23:00.000-07:00

First of all, this is a very very back dated post. Atleast a month old. Do excuse me for my lack of time management since my baby came. She have been taking up so much of my time, that i can sneak a couple of hours to completed orders and not post them :) Finally i could find myself some time to post this. Something i did for my beloved customer that wanted a card that is styled similar to the cottage blue card i did for my brother some time back. But this time the request was to do it in purple. Love it when somebody requests for something to be done in purple. I just love the colour.

And i really really love making these envelope, it makes my cards very special and classy to open. :)

[INV001] Royal Purple Princess Baby Shower Invitations - Jyosnaa's Baby Shower Invitation

2011-03-30T02:21:00.000-07:00

The much anticipated post, my daughter's baby shower invitation card. After contemplating with many test design and techniques, i have finally settled for a purple colour themed card with a girl dress as the icon.

Show Your Love - Blooming Valentine (SY003)

2011-01-24T06:34:00.000-08:00

Finally i managed to complete this in the midst of completing my baby shower invitation. I bought this scrapbook paper from Scrap n Crop Sdn. Bhd. last year and been wanting to use it for something. When i was browsing through my paper stock came across this and i thought it would be lovely for the Valentine Card. I was hunting for a recycle paper background and i managed to find the dull recycle brown paper at scrap n crop when i dropped by to buy my baby shower border punch.

For the front cover, i did a folded ribbon effect using a wired ribbon and used another similar red ribbon to tied off the ribbon.

Had to blur the message to retain privacy of the customer. :) I used this beautiful red heart paper doily i purchased from ETSY and made it a pop up. :) Loved the way it turned out.

And before i forget, label it with my brand. Finally it's done and ready for postage.

Lilac Pink Birthday Card (GB004)

2011-01-22T05:14:00.000-08:00

Another Birthday Card in January. January is filled with Birthdays that falls one after another in my family. On the January 15th my brother and my cousin sister shares the same birthday. Yup, both of them are born on the 15th January 1992. :) My granny's birthday falls on the next day, 16th January and 17th will be my wedding anniversary. Ponggal Festival (3 day harvest festival) falls either on the 14th or 15th of January every year.

I used my newly received Washi Tapes from etsy for this card. Washi tapes makes your life very easy when it comes to sticking and decorating in ribbon effect. They come in many colours and designs on them that looks like a ribbon, even better, you can stick it off like a sticky tape. I love ribbons, but some very nicely designed ones are very expensive and sticking them in straight lines can be very cumbersome at times, because the glue put on the back comes up to the top and sticks on our fingers when we're adjusting the ribbon. It gets very messy with glue on your fingers and worst still if the ribbon is a very light coloured one, you may even stain the ribbon. The disadvantage of a washi tape is that you cannot do a bow design like you can do on ribbons. :(

Luckily, i had some old stock of light purple ribbons at my parents place (i was practically treasure hunting in my room) which I used for the card below and tied a bow to finish off the card background. Please ignore the writing, i could have done better with it. Lack of practice in using pen to write on cards these days, been very dependent on rubber and clear stamps.

I finished off the design with buttons and some tiny purple sequins that i had from my embellishment box from my house. Love the card and the way it turned out, despite the lack of craft stock and treasure hunting for old materials. :)

Cottage Blue Birthday Card (GB003)

2011-01-22T03:34:00.000-08:00

I just love the cottage country side look of this card. Made this card for my beloved brother birthday this year. I was away from my craft supplies, because i am now at my parents place, counting my days to delivering my first child. I had to scrap this card out with the newly arrived border punch and this lovely cottage brown paper from scrap n crop. I have been relying so much on the items that i have been receiving from etsy to make my cards, since i am busy with making the bulk of my baby shower cards. Phew! Processing bulk of card can be very very challenging. Especially when you have to have all of your measurement in sync (Not a very nice work, having a slightly wider or longer card!).

Started making this card Friday night and had to get it done by today afternoon, ready and packed with my brother's birthday goodie bag for my parents to transport it all the way to singapore tomorrow morning. Hopefully the card will reach in one piece. Pretty worried for the quilled pattern. Still very happy with the card design despite having to design and make it in a rush. :)

Sealed it in an envelope with lotsa blessings and good luck. Hopefully you reach Singapore in one piece and the bus journey don't rip you into pieces. :)

Baby scrapbook page weaving Project

2010-12-03T22:31:00.000-08:00

Been working on this baby scrapbook page, to paste my baby's ultrasound picture. Instead of getting those customized acid free scrapbook pages, i thought i will weave something pastel up for the first page.

I must say this. It is a very tedious job and requires tonnes of patience. Which is am currently lacking big time!!! But i love admiring how it has turned out half way through... :)

i flipped it a little to just to give it a nice tiny weaved basket look. Then i got really ambitious and thought i should make tiny baby basket for my baby shower as a giveway...THEN I THOUGHT of the time i have left before i go on my maternity leave which is far too short to make cards and baskets (since weaving takes ages, and if i were to make 100 of these, i'll be dead by then!).

Lovely Handmade Book

2010-11-08T00:57:00.000-08:00

Was going through Asma's Simple Rhyme blog and i noticed she's doing her first giveaway. That is so exciting. The best part of the giveaway is the giveaway itself!!! A HANDMADE BOOK with nature theme. Definitely something i would like to own. Love the colours that she has used to make her quilled decoration, very mystical, reminds me of Pandora in the movie Avatar.

Asma's creativity have given me so much of inspiration to continue crafting. Especially in quilling and recently on Handmade books. What i love about her work is the use of colours and the neatness in her craft work. Unlike the impatience me, always messing things up, because i want to complete something so much, so fast. A very good reason why i have decided to craft again after a long time, to learn the great art of being patient.

There are many crafty people that i have virtually met via the internet, and visiting their craft home@blogs have inspired me so much in furthering this journey in arts and craft, and Asma's simple rhyme is one of the craft home that have never failed to surprise me. And finally there is something i really want to win so much....

Let the Love Grow (AY001)

2010-06-21T05:46:00.000-07:00

[SOLD] Let the Love Grow (AY001)

Something that i made for a very close person. She requested to make her boyfriend a card to celebrate their one year of courtship. This is my very first attempt in making a pop-up card. Of course it isn't one of those very complicated origami cut-out pop-ups, i just decided to make a very simple pop and paste a tree shape that i cut-out myself, and gave it some tiny leaves.

I leave you guys with the pictures that i have taken before sending out the card. I had to keep from posting it for a week now just till the card reached the recipient safely. Don't want to create a spoiler here. :) So here you go, a very delayed post for you to enjoy.

p/s I was just got so carried away that i just can't stop taking pictures of this card. So please just bear with me on this.. Enjoy it!

The above picture is how it looks when the card is closed. I intentionally left some branches to stick out to create a growing touch. I added quilled leaves on the scrolled alphabets to give it the nature touch.

Preview My very first quilled card

2010-05-21T10:00:00.000-07:00

I gave quilling a little try yesterday. But i didn't have any quilling equipments to start with, so what i did was i took a match stick and slit a line from the bottom of it, to use it to sloth my paper. Hmmm....i was desperate... :) But i have already placed my order for some quilling equipments, thanks to my hubby for letting me using his credit card. Here is a a little preview to my quilled card. Just something simple i have tried. I sort of have an idea of how to complete this. Hope it turns out well....

Preview to Royal Blue (GB002)

2010-05-17T08:18:00.000-07:00

I have always wanted to create a royal looking card, that's when i found this piece of velvety black designed paper at craft haven one utama. I combined it with a blue matte card and added some light blue ribbons with silver glitter ribbon decorating its side, just the right thing to look royal.

I used some white stones to decorate the velvety card to give it a little shine.

Enjoy the Preview!

Preview to Pink Love (SY002)

2010-05-17T07:58:00.000-07:00

I had this piece of decorative card that has heart shaped designed in many ways. I combined that card with a piece of pink matte card, decorated with a red ribbon for the front look of the card.

For the inside of the card, i cut out two big designed heart-shape and pop-it up with a tiny designed heart shape to give it a embossed look. The customized message will be in between the heart-shaped designs.

2010-05-13T22:42:00.000-07:00

I have just came up with a basic design for this card. Have not started putting in the decorations. Came up with this while waiting for my husband to fetch me after his IRON-MAN movie outing with his friends. I was really sleepy, it was past midnight, but i didn't want to fall asleep, afraid i might not hear my phone ringing when he calls... :) I was really tired... so i decided to make this card. All my UHU glue was missing in action, the last time i used it was during my wedding to work on my flower girls basket. It was a messy situation, somebody might have missed placed it somewhere, wonder where did it go. Thank God i had double sided tapes, and used them to stick the cut-out designs on the card. Atleast that didn't make it messy, with me feeling all sleepy and groggy, i definitely would have created a mess with the glue... hoping to finish it over the weekend. I have another "Pink Love" card that needs to be added with decorations. So that makes two new releases next week. Stay tuned!

For now enjoy this Preview...

The tiny steps to ScissorsPaperCraft

2009-07-01T00:56:00.001-07:00

So i am serious about the handmade card business, what's my next step?

Setting up a blog *Obviously...i have already done that...*
Looking for a suitable design. I must say this...I find this part of the process a stressful one. I am quite fussy with designs and those nice, pretty, scrapbook layouts will cost me a bomb. So finally, after trying out 3-4 templates, i have decided to stick with the Art Template which is an adaptation of the Wordpress Themes. *Reminding myself...This is temporary*
Done with the design...FOR NOW ATLEAST!

What's next?
Coming up with a list of business procedures. And for that i have to work with my hubby. He's been giving me quite a number of ideas in running this whole thing. We do have some things in our mind, but its better to put it in "black and white". Easy reference...

Then?
I am waiting for my pay to come in and then i can go purchase some stuffs to start creating my portfolio.

How long will that take?
7-10 days from now.

Then?
Then what!!!...I'll be posting in some designs of the cards i am making and if you guys are interested...please place an order via the order form that i'll be creating after i am done with some samples.

THE END...no more "Then?" and "What's next?"

Adios...

Finally i have decided to bring it on, those things that i loved to do and i am finally doing it. Wouldn't have thought of all these if its not for my baby. He has been a miracle in my life, that has thought me only one thing, nothing is impossible. Love him for everything he is. Let this creativity of mine flourish like our love.
