My first card is using the beautiful Pragmatic  Wreaths. A while back I ask Effie for hanging cluster of flowers and she came up with this set. It still amaze me how I could give her a request and she make it come to true in a way that's better than I imagined.

Isn't this wreath just gorgeous? Here's a close up of the image. For the sequins, I used Guava Shortcake Sparkling. This sequins quickly becomes my favorite color and with a name like that, I love it even better. ;)

For my 2nd card I use the Chandelier set on a piece of vellum and heat embossed it with sparkling silver embossing powder.

How elegant is this chandelier?

Rainbow Mother's Day Card

Hi peeps. Quickly popping in to share this card I made for the latest Simon Say Stamp Mothers Flowers and Fathers release.

I get to play with this fun Mom & Dad Icon set. I decided to focus on the word "mom" itself and highlight it with the heart. I just love how pretty it is.

Once I heat embossed the word, I went to town and color the panel with watercolor to create the rainbow look. Finished with the scallop border, also from Simon Says Stamp.

Short one for this one as I have another post coming up. Don't want to overload you with long post. Hah!! Hope you love this card as much as I love making it.

Seriously, this spring release makes me gaga with my excitement. I simply love all the flower sets. But this one, called Pretty Mail, oh goodness.... swoon worthy in my book.

For the inside of the shaker card I used the new Coral Necklace Couture Mix. It is such a gorgeous mix that compliment the colors I used on the floral frame.

For my second card, I used Peony Crush background, sentiment from Pragmatic Wreath, Dew Drops, and Arctic Sky ink pad. 

I was pleasantly surprised at how the Arctic Sky ink pad looks like when being stamped directly on soft pink card base. It becomes this beautiful grayish color that I just love. Then I added shadow details on the flowers with Copic and pencil color. I keep the color tone subdue since it is sympathy card.

The Ton April Challenge: Anything Goes

Hi peeps! Happy April. Yes... first quarter of the year has passed.  Sometime I wonder where did the time go? They seem to just zoom pass darn past.

With new month, that also means time for new The Ton Challenge and we make it super easy, Our challenge theme for this month is "Anything Goes". Couldn't be easier than that, right?

Here's my card for this challenge using the beautiful Fresh Cut Poppies (Coord. Outlines) set with its matching dies.

For the sentiment I used the Brushed Hug dies and layer it in two color to create the shadow look. Finish it with some sprinkle of Guava Shortcake Sparkling Sequins. I think the sequins help soften the bold colors for this card & am pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I sure hope you will play along with us. The prize for this challenge will be a $50 gift certificate to The Ton shop! You can check out all the rule and enter your card on The Ton Challenge Blog. Looking forward to seeing your creation. 

And, pssttt... be ready for The Ton Spring Release that will starts on Monday. There'll be lots of amazingness coming your way. Cheers....  :)

SugarPea Designs Birthday Bash

Hi peeps!! Welcome to SugarPea Designs 3rd Birthday Bash Celebration!

We are so honored to have the opportunity to celebrate this incredible milestone that all of you helped make happen! Today’s festivities included some incredible inspiration from the SugarPea Design Team and some of our very Special Guests.

Personally, I feel very blessed to be part of SPD design team for the past 2 years. Wendy is awesome to work with and I am also forever grateful for her continuous & generous support to Caring Hearts Card Drive. And, SPD cute stamps provide me with the cuteness that I needed in my card making journey!! :)

Now you can’t have a Birthday Bash without prizes and there are lots of prizes to be won! A few of our blog hop participants will be giving away a SugarPea Designs stamp set, so please leave comments for each hop participant for your chance to win!

In addition to this, ONE lucky winner will be randomly chosen from all comments left to receive a $100 Gift Certificate to SugarPea Designs. You have until April 15th to enter to win. Winners will be announced on April 17th.

But that’s not all…we also want YOU to be part of the party by sharing a card with us.

Once you have completed the hop, we’d love it if you’d keep the celebration going, by creating a Birthday card or project and linking it up at the SugarPea Designs Blog for a chance to WIN a Mini MISTI and Creative Corners Tool (link up deadline is April 15, 2017).

Here's my birthday card featuring the cutie pie from Caring Critter set combine with sentiment from Celebrate All The Things set, SugarCut Celebrate and SugarCut Party Banner Duo.

And.... I feel kind of silly, that I just  now realize how awesome is the Party Banner Duo dies. Yes, yes, I should have played with them sooner. Super slow thinking on my side. I literally gasp when I realized how cool is the layer look it created. I watercolor each banner first, added some shimmer with Spectrum Noir shimmer marker, before adding the outlining layer.

And, did you know that SugarPea also carry some sequins? On my card, I used the Lily White Sparkly Shaker collection. Here's a closer look of the card.

I really love the way this card turned out and I always send my favorite card to people that I love. On this case, this card is now on its way to Jakarta, Indonesia to my older brother whose birthday is coming up! I know, he will get a kick out of this card. I am also entering this card to the current Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge.

Psst.... we also have special going on for a limited time. Use the code: BDAY03 to receive 10% off their entire purchase (valid until April 2nd)

You have quite a few blogs to hop to, so that's all from me. Thank you for stopping by here and thank you for all your support for SugarPea!

Sending Hugs & Happy Thoughts

Can you have too many floral stamps? No, right? I just bought my first set from Studio Katia, called Together We Bloom, cause this set is simply calling my name. By the way, Studio Katia was also one of the sponsor for Caring Hearts Card Drive. That was where I heard about them for the first time and when I saw SSS carry their set, I was like, hey, I like their style.

So, here's my card using Together We Bloom. On this card, I only use the flowers. The sentiment is from Altenew.

Here's a close up look as I try to capture the shimmer on the flowers.

I think this is one company that I need to start follow. I am liking what I've seen from them so far. Okay, short post. :)

XOXO

Hi peeps. How's your weekend? Mine was busy with working around the house. We re-painted our closet and fix and touch up various stuff. Let's just say my arms feel like jello now.

For today, I want to share  this card that I made a while ago. Just haven't got a chance to post it here. So, today is the day. Hah!

These cats are from Mama Elephant Little Cat Agenda set. They sure are fun to color. On 3 of the cats I added the letter I, a heart and the word you. Hidden message that's hopefully not too hidden. :)

That's all from me. Thank you for stopping by here. Cheers...
