Spellbinders' Stitching Die of The Month
I decided to use cool color combo as they're one of my favorite color combo to use. It's pretty straight forward on how I made this card. Once all the stitching done, I simply stamped the sentiment using one of the sentiment from Many Birthdays set, then finished by adding some rhinestones.
Quick post today as I am still recovering from my jetlag. The 25 hour flight from Singapore to Houston has left me with mess up body clock. I've been up at 3 or 4 in the morning and then sluggish by noon. Hopefully this weekend would help me get back to normal. Till next time.

Spellbinders' January Club Kits
Hi all. Let me start by wishing you all a very Happy New Year!! May this coming year be a good one for all of us. I am praying for good, peaceful year. As this post go up, I'm celebrating this New Year in Indonesia and I am so very grateful for the chance of celebrating in my home country again. It's been over a decade since I get to do this. So very grateful.
And, of course, new year, new month, also means new club kits from Spellbinders. :) This time, I am joining Spellbinders Embossing Club Kit and to kick things off, I made 2 cards with this month embossing folder.
I started by embossing a piece of cardstock panel and then I did light ink blending on the embossed areas. Next, I die cut some leaves from Sealed Bouquet Etched Dies set. Colored with greenk inks. Stamped sentiment from Many Birthdays set (psst... this set is currently on sale).Arrange the leaves behind the sentiment and adhere the sentiment with foam adhesive. Finish by adding some sequins.
My next card is featuring January Glimmer Club kit.
Well peeps, as this post goes up, I’d be enjoying my last days of hanging out with my family before I have to head back home to the States. I am grateful for the chance of celebrating my mom’s birthday with her, in person, something I haven’t been able to do in over a decade.
I wish you all q very happy New Year and may 2023 brings us all good health, prosperity & many blessings. Cheers….

Take Heart
I die cut the quilt from three colored cardstock and assembled them directly on the card base. Then, I die cut the word hugs. This die also come with the set. Once that done, I stamped a sentiment from Quilty Hugs Sentiment set. As soon as I saw this sentiment I knew right away this is a sentiment that I want to use as I just love and connect to the message. Finished by adding some enamel drops.
I think this is such a fun pattern t play with. Wish I have the talent to make real quilt, but hey, not all of us can be good at sewing, right? So, paper quilt it is. Well peeps, that's all from me today. Hope you enjoy today's card. Happy Sunday!

Spellbinders December Club Kit
Spellbinders Clubs are easy and fun because there is no minimum commitment and one can join/cancel any time from the account (you don’t need to reach out to Customer Support to do it, it is all straightforward). You can read the total Clubs FAQ HERE.
First card featuring my favorite from this month, the Large Die of The Month Set.I basically die cut all the pieces from white cardstock and then colored the cardstock with ink blending. For the leaf part, I die cut them 3 times so I can create a thick layer to make it stand out more. Adhere all the flowers and I add some enamel drops. For sentiment I used one of the hot foil sentiment from More Sentiments Hot Foil set. Finish the card by adding a couple tiny birds from Spellbinders' Sealed Birds Etched Dies.
Next card is featuring Spellbinders' December Small Die of The Month.
I also keep the design simple and clean here. Sometimes less is more in my opinion. And, if you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I like to use non traditional color here and there. Valentine tends to be pink and red, but hey, I love aqua colors, so why not go aqua for Valentine? I am a rebel, I am telling you. Hah!! Just kidding. I just like using random color, I guess.
I hope you enjoy looking at the cards I made & I wish you all a lovely December.

Heart Christmas Wishes
I combined the solid heart with my left over hot foil from previous card HERE, where I used the Poinsettia from Spellbinders' October Glimmer Hot Foil of The Month set with Prism hot foil roll. For the background I turned to one of my favorite, the Beveled Diamonds 3D Embossing folder. I think this is such a timeless background. Trim the panel and adhere to card base. Add the heart and finish with sentiment. For the sentiment, I combined strip sentiment from Mini Christmas Sentiment Strips Glimmer Hot Foil with die cut sentiment from Spellbinders' October Small Die of The Month.
As you can see, the Prism hot foil shine beautifully in myriad of colors depends on where the light hits.
Short and sweet as always. My mom is here right now, so am keeping my crafting and blogging time down as I want to spend some times with her. It feels great to have my mom here after 4 long years of not being together. Thank you all for stopping by here.

Now, my next card is actually an accident card. You know, that piece that you're about to toss away, but decided for the heck of it, just play with it to see if you can save it.
Hope you enjoy today's cards and may you find something good or hopefully several good things in your day today.

On Your Special Day & A Little Announcement
I simply die cut the flower pieces from various color cardstock. I also die cut some pieces from Sealed Squiggles Etched Dies. For the background I embossed a panel of cardstock using Dazzling Dots Embossing Folder. Then, I arranged all the pieces on the card. Once that done, I tied together the bouquet with strings die cut with Sealed Twine Etched Dies. For the sentiment I hot foiled a sentiment from Yana's Special Sentiment Hot Foil Plate.
I am so in love with this set. Seriously, you can make a simple bouquet of fill up a whole card with it. I am really hoping to play with this set more. Now, if only I can find the time. Hah!
Yep, cause guess what? I got news to share. My friend and I decided to start new joint venture called Sunshine by Designs TX where we make personalized gifts and ornaments.
