Home For The Holidays

Hi there. When I started in stamping, like many stampers I started with Hero Arts stamp. So, I am excited to play with the new Hero Arts Winter Wreath Bundle set, part of their Home For The Holidays release. Making Christmas cards always one of my favorite thing to make and when you get a cute and fun set it definitely helps big time.

For my card above I went with soft blue background. I think it makes the wreath really popped. And, I love those tiny homes!! Then for my 2nd card, I decided to go bold and make it super festive by pairing red and gold together.

And, last but not least, I went totally clean and simple. What can I say, those tiny house just calling me to make them the star of the card. Seriously with  this Hero Arts Winter Wreath Bundle you can make so many different cards. 

Do you usually works on your Christmas cards this early? I know, outside it's blazing hot and sometimes it does feel weird to make Christmas cards now, but at least it helps me avoid rushing last minute when the holidays come. That's all for me today and I wish you all a lovely day.
 

Yana's Christmas Cats Collection

Hello there crafty peeps. I may be big time dog lovers at heart, but I also love cats. I never have one, but I sure love watching cats video. I think they're very entertaining. Anyway, for today's cards I am showcasing Yana's Christmas Cats Die Bundle.

How cute is that cat? I am a big fan of watching cat videos on Instagram. They sure have fun and sassy personality. And I've seen friends posting pics of their cat getting on their Christmas tree. For the sentiment I used Meowy Christmas Sentiments Press + Foil Plates & Die Set by Yana Smakula. Love the font combo on this sentiment set. For the snow background on the window I simply used white pen.

For my next card, I paired the cat with an older stitching dies club kit that already been discontinue, but since I want to add a little bit of stitching to my card, I decided to use it anyway.

As much as I am a dog person, I sure love making cat theme cards. Hope you enjoy today's cards as much as I enjoy making them. Till next time.

Spellbinder's July Release

Hi friends. I am back with some projects featuring sets from Spellbinder's July release. Let's get on with it, shall we?

Now, who doesn't love a cute bear? I made a couple cards using Spectacular Bear Etched Dies. On my 1st card I made a polar bear.

Then on my 2nd card, I made a brown bear. I just love the chunky look of the bear. They're just so cute! And, funky glasses? Yes please. 

For Christmas, besides bear, penguin is definitely another cutie we must have. My next card is featuring Spectacular Penguin Etched Dies paired with Upright Italic Merry Christmas Press + Foil plate.

And, finally, last but not least, a traditional Christmas card featuring Upright Italic Joy To The World Press & Foil plate. I paired this with Perfect Touch Arches Etches Dies.

Hummingbird Garden

Hello friends. How are you all doing? Ah, my blog been pretty quiet, isn't it? Well, today I am popping up to share these cards I made using Hummingbird Garden 3D Embossing Folder & Die set by Simon Hurley. Hummingbird is one of my favorite bird, so I am excited to play with this gorgeous set.

For the  card above, I embossed and die cut the hummingbird using watercolor paper, so I can do watercolor on it. Same with the card below.

I am totally channeling my love for soft, pastel colors on these cards. For the sentiment I gold foil them. These are older sentiment set that I still love to use years after I got them. I hope you enjoy today's cards. Thank you for stopping by and please say hi if you do. I appreciate you more than you know. 

Lil Birthday Docket

Hello friends. It's been a while. I've been posting my cards on Instagram more and more and not as much on my blog. Honestly just because it was faster and I often get lazy in writing post. Come on, I am not alone on this, am I? And, also I kind of wonder how many people still reading blogs. Anyway, I thought I need to pop in here for a bit. :)

One of my favorite brand is Mama Elephant and this weekend, I was feeling inspired to play with cute stuff. So, I made these 4 cards just for fun using Mama Elephant Lil Birthday Docket set. BTW, I just realize how long it's been since I used my Copic markers. Quite a few of them have dried nib. Yikes!!

And, the sentiment is from Kerry Bradford stamp set. I believe this set was from 2015 and already retired. But, I kept this set because I truly love the style. I am happy after all this time sitting in my drawer, I am finally showed it some love.

I hope you enjoy my li'l pop in here on blog land. Even though I am not making cards as much as I used to, I do still enjoy doing it. It brings me joy making these cards and it's my way to destress. Wishing you all a lovely week and where ever you are, my something good brighten your week. Till next time.

Glimmer Plate Magic Wonderland

 Hi peeps. Wow, my card making days really become far and few in between isn't it. Happy to say that I got to craft a bit and made these 2 cards using Spellbinder's October Glimmer Hot Foil Kit, called Magic Wonderland. I love making Christmas cards.

I was so happy when I saw the pattern for this month's glimmer plate. Come on, falling snow mix with star and hearts? I paired them with older Simon's Snow Globe Etched Dies set.

For both cards, I added vellum to create soft layering. For me personally, vellum is an often forgotten supplies. So, am happy that I remember to use it. :) I hope you enjoy today's cards. I wonder though, does people still visiting blog? Curious on your opinion on this. Till next time, crafty peeps.

Spellbinders October Glimmer Hot Foil

Hello there crafty friends. It's been a good while since I visit  my own blog. Today, I am popping in to share a couple projects I made using Spellbinder's October Glimmer Hot Foil Kit. I have to say, I miss playing with hot foil. Let's get on with the first card, shall we?

For the first card, I ink blended various color on the card panel first. Then, I hot foiled the weave background using Copper hot foil roll. This background foiled beautifully and I was able to use the positive part of the foil on my 2nd card. So, no wasted part. Once that done, I used Autumn Leaves Press Plate for the leaf. For the sentiment, I used Yana's Layered Script Sentiments for the birthday word & for the small sentiment, I used Just Wanted To Say Glimmer plate. I believe both sets already discontinued,  but pretty much you can use any sentiment set you already have on your stash.

 

The panel on this 2nd card is using the positive part/left over from the 1st card hoy foiling. I used the same  Autumn Leaves Press Plate for the leaf. For the sentiment I used Sending Sentiments (November 2023 Clear Stamp Kit). This set is in clearance right now, so get if you want it, now is the time to get it.

I hope today's cards inspire you to get crafty this weekend. Till next time!!
