Wishing you Love and Laughter

My good friend Erica got married not too long ago. There was no time for me to prepare anything before the big day so I made this card and sent it to her with other Pakistani goodies. Sadly the card and goodies got lost in the mail :(  But  I got to take a couple of pics of this card before sending it.

I used Kristina's template to create those great layers, I cut the heart shapes by hand with an exacto knife. I used Ranger's embossing powder and Cosmo Cricket from their UPCycle collection.

I really like the results. what do you guys think?

Later!

Thanks Chick Colour

Hello there!

Have you ever heard the saying " We'll just have to make do"? I have actually had it in my head for the last 8 months. So with that in mind I have come up with ideas to make the cards I WOULD make IF I had the proper materials. So for this one I cut and made my own "Stencil" kind of stamp with the letters.

I think it turned out well except I won't be able to use the template anymore I kind o ruined it with versamark plus I chose the wrong material to make it.

Anyway... I would love to hear about what improvisation you have made to made cards... if you do have one please let me know!

Many hugs! and thanks for visiting!

Old Valentine's

Oops! I completely forgot to post these tags I made to give along with St. Valentine's day little goodies to all of our new friends here in Islamabad.


I used the DCWV Mi Casa Collection. It was the only paper I brought with me before leaving the USA.

Please excuse my camera from this next picture. This pic just made me realize I need to up grade to a better camera... something that won't change the colors in my cards. Hopefully won't have to be a very big camera or too sofisticated or at least easy to use! What camera do you currently use to take pics of your cards?! please let me know!

In the space above the "have a great day "tag I worte a tiny note.

What do you think? Anyway... enjoy it!
Hugs!

2 in 1 Embellish Magazine Challenge

Hello Everyone!

I have just fallen for the colors on Embellish Magazine. So here I am one more time playing with the colors and embellishment of this challenge.

It was required to use ribbon along with brown, pink and turquoise... click HERE to check their post for this challenge.

So I made this one first:


Right colors but I wasn't convinced. I just think this card was just not my style. I even tried taken different angle pictures just to see if I ended liking it.

But it didn't work... so I started another one and noticed I forgot to make a close up of How I use the ribbon to make a butterfly so here is part of a second card I made for the challenge and a close up of the ribbon.

Here is the card TA- DAAAAA!

I like this one better... I still feel it is not me but I liked the result... simple, and confortable layout and follow all the rules!

For these two cards I used ribbon I bought by meters in a store ( sorry I don't know the brand), Hero Art stamp, embossing powder, Martha Stewart stamps and a cutsie little flower given to me by a friend.

Well, let's see if I can submit... I can't connect to the website for some reason.

Okay...tons of hugs!

Embellish Magazine Challenge: Color with Stripes

Hello Everybody,

After my last post I was sooooo determined I sat down on that desk chair and didn't got up until I had an idea. Well, it worked!! and here is my take on this fabulous challenge at Embellish Magazine. I do recommend that you pass by and filled your eyes with the amazing cards the team made for this challenge.


So here is my submission:


I used SU Fun & Fast Notes stamp set, Color Box ink, Hero Art Stamp for the sentiment, Bazill paper along with Pocket Full of Possies Stack paper from DCWV. Not many things, ah?!



Okay I am very sleepy. While here is 10:00pm, it is close to noon back home. Just the thought of it makes me tired. Have a good night rest and I promise I will keep practicing the same tactic in order to get cards done... just sit until a card comes up!


Good night
Hugs!

Thank You Teacher!

Hello there!

I made this card thinking my friends can use it to thank their son/daughter 's teacher... for parent teacher conference, for report cards, or for any special occasion just fo a teacher!

I used DCWV, I and SU Defining stamp set. I was actually really suprised on how many colors I used and they look great together. The colors are bright and really loudly screams: "SCHOOOL!!" I really like it!

I hope you find some inspiration on this card! Many thanks for stopping by!!
Hugs

Teacher-Like Card

Looking at old cards. I found this one. I loved it sooo very much I thought.. hey I have not share this card yet. So here it is...

I remember when I made this card I was not working and was in teacher-like kind of cards... I got a very cheap apple puncher and used it to create this and other cards... I really like the apple design. Also these very basic colors... reminds me of school and the simple colors that can make a teacher's room a very warm and welcomy environment for children.

No fancy materials for this card. I think the only fancy one was the ribbon I got from the local craft store. Of course the SU stamps and ink. The paper I took from my notebook and old boxes cardboard ... Isn't it cute? I love the red apple, I used Versamark and clear embossing powder and finally punched the apple!!! really neat contrast and a great look.

Look at this card and think of ..... a Pencil! ;)

Many hugs!
