Share Joy #11

It's Tic Tac Toe challenge at Share Joy Challenge. For this card, I used TE Lavender Bouquet set and chose the following elements "thank you, flower and ribbon".  I am popping this into Inspirational Challenge and AAA Cards.

Stamped and heat embossed the image in silver and coloured in copics.  The background is stamped with SU Gorgeous Grunge.  Recently, I bought this new MFT Basic Stitch Lines and I am so happy with it as I can decide on the size of the cardstock and not limited to the pre-cut size.

Somehow the silver embossing does not pop up as it's in real

Thank you for dropping by!

TKJ #236

** UPDATED : TOP THREE AT TKJ **

***************************************************************


I fell in love with this TE Perfect Pairs Burger & Fries stamp the moment I saw it - they are just adorable.

I am going for Red, Die Cut and Tag for this challenge at The Kraft Journal.  Stamped the image on a white cardstock and colored in copics.  The background is stamped in red with SU Gorgeous Grundge.  The awning is a die cut from TE and the label tag is from SU.  The sentiment is from PTI Year Round Pun.

This card also enters into The Craft Stamper  and Double Click Connections challenges.

Here are some photos which were taken during our trip to Scandinavia.  Our first stop which took us about 900km ride from home was Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Male Room #11

**EDITED : 

DESIGNER'S PERSONAL FAVOURITE AT CARDS IN ENVY,  
BEST OF WASHI AT AAA CARDS &  THE MALE ROOM**

*****************************************************************

Today, I have a masculine card to share by using the die cut from PTI Play Phrase #4 and Taylored Expressions Monsters.  Before, running thru the CB, I sticked the washi-tapes on the white cardstock.  I didn't feel like colouring today, but the little monster does stand out on the black background.  This is the biggest googly eyes that I have in my drawer! The kraft paper is dry embossed and the sentiment is heat embossed.

I am entering this card into the following challenges : The Male Room, Mod Squad Challenge, The Kraft Journal, Cards in Envy, AAA Cards and The Seize the Birthday.

Thanks for taking your time to drop by.

Friday Mashup #200

Here is another card for Friday Mashup challenge. For this card, I chose these two challenges.


I used to cut and trim the awnings but now I have a die cut from Taylored Expressions which make life easier.

The cupcakes stamps are from Wplus9 Sweet & Treats-coloured and paperpieced. I also added stickles on the toppings and a little button too!

I am popping this card into Craft Stamper Magazine challenge.

Thanks for dropping by!

YNS #7

Another shaker card for today's card by using the sketch from Your Next Stamp challenge.  The base card is watercoloured and added some embossing paste.  The snow drift and the frames are from MFT.  The sentiment and the little monster is from Taylored Expressions.

I am popping this into Simon Wednesday Challenge and Lia Stampz and Sugar Peas Design challenges.

We will be having a one-week spring break next week and the children are so looking forward to it.

Have a creative day!

Sugar Pea Designs #19

Happy Friday!  I have another card to share today for Sugar Pea Designs.  As I don't have any Sugar Pea stamps, I used the set from Taylored Expressions Party Monsters-love those littles monsters.

When I was doing the background, I had to think of graffiti on the walls - I don't know why but somehow I was inspired by it.  The background is stamped with MFT Abstract Art in two different colours and the sentiment is also from TE Party Monsters set.  Thereafter, I embossed the bricks and love how it turned out.

Added two vellum banners and I can't resist making another shaker card and this time with a stamped sentiment on the background. I have been wanting to use this giant googly eye for a long time!

I am also popping this into Seize the Birthday challenge.

Today, my 14 years old daughter, Claire left for her one week student exchange in Madrid, Spain.  She will be staying with a spanish family who has a daughter of the same age who is a stranger to her and us as well.  The only time that the spanish family has contact with Claire was via whatsapp since the last few weeks so as to speak to get to know each other.  This is the first time that she is flying on her own but with her classmates.  It's going to be strange without her for the full week!

Have a good day!
