Christmas and love

First time making a card with banners! :D And I'm kinda liking it.... cos it's fun to make and it makes the card kinda interesting too...... This cat reminds me of my cat, Tinsel. A Ginger naughty cat but my Tinsel has those huge, round, deceiving angelic eyes... HAHAHA...

Stamped the background with distressed stripes stamps... drew the cross-stitch since I can't bear to poke a needle through my paper... made the banner using PP and baker's twine.. you can't really see it but it's the red and white baker's twine... just like the one I adhered behind the sentiment.

Drew the little hearts myself and glossed it up to make it look more 3D and I based this all on Cardabilities' Sketch #17. 

I know it's the Christmas season and all but this is like a mix of Christmas and love and hello all together! Notice my little snowflakes at the side? I glittered them up! :) 

Hope you like my card and do hop on over to Cardabilities and join us with this fun sketch! :D

of stuffy nose and surprises!

Loving Penny Black! how can I not? I have a huge love for their hedgehog stamps! :)

Here's another Christmas card I made... likey likey? I hope you do! :) Well, I'm still suffering from stuffy nose and general lethargy... sigh... not a good sign... sigh... But I've been creating. Will share with you gals shortly... just not now. It will be a surprise! :P

Code : Christmas10-9

Have a great day, ya! As for me... I'm just praying for the nose to be better... sigh....

Fat Cat

I love using Penny Black's Christmas stamps when making cards for the season. This fat cat is so cute isn't it? And he looks so snug in that thick sweater! :)

My days has been filled with much things to think and consider about and the lethargy isn't helping.... Am praying to achieve much more than I can. In God, all things are possible and I am claiming that :)

Code : Christmas 10-8

Sometimes I want to be a gypsy and just live life.... simple, nomadic life to see the whole world! :)

Be merry

Hey there! Have fun and be merry! :)

I've been feeling mojo-less and the cards I'm posting now were the ones I made some weeks back... oh boy, Mr. Mojo please come back... >.<

So for now, here's a cheery card to share :) Not really my style... hehe..... Not enough stamping on this card... :P

Wonderful

I love Christmas.... it is indeed a wonderful time of the year. I only wish that I can spend it buried in knee deep snow and a hot cup of cocoa :P Christmas in Malaysia is erm, just not the same... no snow!

This Christmas tree stamp is a cutie, isn't it? I believe it's from Cindy's RAK from last year... LOL.... I didn't have the chance to play with it all year long but hey, now is the time to break it out and use it! :)

Code : Christmas10-6

Am loving the bright pop of pink from the baby blue card... do you? Nothing's much been happening in my life lately.... am a boring ol' sap now... LOL.... Am hoping to get a better compact camera, one in the range of LX3 or g11... I don't mind a slightly older model since it will be cheaper... any suggestions, ladies?

singing lil' hedgehog

Would you love to have a cute little hedgehog singing Christmas hymns to you?

Oh, I would....!! I think I have to stop reading fairy tales... LOL... but I want to re-read The Chronicles of Narnia. I finished the book really quick and I really love it. Love the magic, suspense, trill and adventure that they have. I wish I have a magic wardrobe that I can walk through and appear in another world... then you would say that I'm already too old for that, huh? :P

Code : Christmas10-5

We are never too old to dream. Just need a little focus, a little motivation and push in the right direction.... Let's all be dreamers in our own rights! :)

Variations

*Update* ~imagine me doing the happy dance~

Remember a while back when I submitted this LayOut of my recycled upcycled calendar for Papier's Photo Inspiration Challenge? I just received news that I won!!! Yippee yay yay!!! :D Check it out here. so so happy!!! :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is another variation of the Christmas card that I posted earlier... I switched up some of the buttons and changed the colour on the ornaments too.... I am not producing Christmas cards as fast am I want to... and I want to churn out some handmade gifts to my friends this year... so it's gonna be quite 'project-packed' :)

Code : Christmas10-4

First time ordering stamps from Waltzing Mouse and Wplus9... hope to receive my stamps soon! Can't wait to play with them... and no, girls, I didn't buy a lot... hehe... Just a couple, serious!

Just a quick question, if you have a tracking number for the package you sent and the tracking shows that the item left Malaysia and arrived in the US, but unfortunately did not state whether it reaches the recipient's doorsteps, does that render a "I'm sorry we can't replace your products because it didn't state that it reached our office'?

Would love to hear your comments :)

Sketch #13 on Cardabilities!

I couldn't contain my happiness and here's the reason why! I've been accepted back for another term with Cardabilities!! yippie yay yay!!!

*doing the happy dance*

Basically been doing the happy dance since I received Karan's email :) Thanks Karan, for having me again. And here's my take on Sketch #13. It's a really beautiful sketch and you may see more cards based on this sketch here, in the near future :)

Code : Christmas10-20

I used PTI's Mod Squad for the 'snowflakes' on the cardstock. I don't have any snowflakes stamp and so I had to improvise. They do look like snowflakes, right? :)

Go on now... hop over to Cardabilities and check out the cards created by other DTs and of course, get out your stash and start making a card too! :)

Buttons

Love buttons a lot..... a whole lot but I mostly hoard them and don't use them enough :P So I'm trying to incorporate them on my Christmas card now... 

Took a couple of days off from posting Christmas cards but now, I'm resuming it :P Well, it's be an on and off thing so that I don't bore you ladies (or guys... if there's any at all) who visits my blog here. What do you think of this card?

Code : Christmas10-3

Blogging can be quite a daunting task, isn't it? It takes time and effort and if there's no passion to it, it's almost like a job! :P That's why I am always in awe of ~Amy~ who finds time to update daily. How do you do it, girl? :)

Planning, focusing...

Planning and focusing is one thing... but executing it is another whole different ball game. I know the saying, "Failing to plan is planning to fail" but just by planning and not executing is failing too. And another point to note, self-motivation has got to be one of the toughest thing to do! hahaha..... and procrastination seems to be it's best friend. 

I have to stop procrastinating and show myself that I can do it! :)

Enough of my rambling for today :P Here's another Christmas card. I love my little bow :P

Code : Christmas10-2

Boy, do I have to make some other cards and share them here to break the routine :P I am gonna create a tutorial.... hmmm..... crap, Procrastination is asking me out for coffee.... talk to you ladies later, k?

hahahahahahahahahaa....

My first Christmas card

I promised I will be back and here I am :) 

I've started making Christmas cards cos I started really late last year and it was mad... LOL.... didn't manage to get many out to friends overseas as well cos they would probably receive it, eh-hmm, the following year. So, this year, I promise to send the cards out earlier, k? :P

Here's one of the first cards I made... actually, I made this a couple of weeks back. Then thank God, I received a card order (one of my largest orders... thanks Corina!) and had to complete the order before resuming making Christmas cards. I have made 21 cards so far... and still going to make more. All the cards are unique in design, so far, no two are alike. But I think I will have to start making some similar ones, else I won't have the time to make as many as I need :)

Code : Christmas10-1

P/s : Well, all cards will be available for sale. You can get them at CzipLee, Bangsar or order it from me here. All online orders will be posted to their destinations (pos ekspress preferable, shipping to be borne by buyer) or self-collected at a destination & time pre-arranged and agreed by me. Thank you for your understanding.... it does take time to get things coordinated :) Thanks for your support! :)

Happy Holidays

This is a variation from one of the cards I made earlier with the same set of stamps... but again, I'm using non-traditional Christmas colours. But they still look pretty, don't they? :)

I drew the 'string' myself since I wanted it in varying lengths.

I'm taking a short breather from my PB stamps and using my PTI stamps again.... Hope to create a few more with my PTI stamps before returning to PB. *ssshhhhhh* but I'm seriously neglecting my other stamps.. LOL....

Code : HH0022

The ornaments actually sparkle and so does the leaves... Wonder if you can see that.... it's quite cool :)

Celebrate the Wonder

Noticed how my Christmas cards are always non-conventional in colour? I don't know why either but I'm drawn to making non-conventional ones. They still have the Christmas theme but the colours are just not red/green/gold or silver :) 

I love how they are different, though :) You know where to look next time you want some unconventional cards :)

For this card, I spritz glimmer mist on the cardstock too.... I can't seem to stay away from glimmer mist these days... and Stickles and Glossy accents. I love how they make images pop :)

Caroling, anyone?

Isn't this hedgehog CUTE? I seriously fell really hard for PB stamps! I LOVE them and how can I not, right? :) Well, I didn't fall for all PB stamps, just the mice and hedgehog ones.... they are so stinkin' cute, I almost never bear to leave the LSS without them (when they are in stock!).

I love the stripey paper at the back too.... It does add some Christmas feel to it, doesn't it? :) Can't remember where the paper is from... could be from MME but I'm not sure. I have too many patterned papers lying around and I really shouldn't buy anymore but, sigh, I just walked out from another LSS few nights ago with a MM paper pad (when I told myself I have too many PPs in the room) *gulp*

Anyway, here's leaving you with a close-up of my card :)

Micey Christmas

Here's another Christmas card that I made :)

I took out all my Christmas-related stamps and tried to draw my inspiration from them... and it was so much easier when they are all displayed out on my desk! :) Love looking at all my stamps! :D

Code : HH0018

They are cute, right? Love them lots.... I spritz some glimmer mist on the cardstock as well for extra Christmassy feel :P

And you know what? I'm so loving my StazOn ink... it works so well with my Copics. I used to use Versafine black ink to stamp images but when I colour them in with Copics, the black ink runs... that's why most of the times I will use colour pencils instead. But now, I can use my Copics! It really is happiness for me! :D

Christmas tags

Made these Christmas tags for colleagues and also Church friends :) They will of course be attached to some goodies.... Can't wait to complete everything and give it to them on Christmas day! :)

Sleigh-pulling-Hedgehog

* This is supposed to be my scheduled post but I don't know what I did but it keeps getting published so, oh well... 2 posts in a day.... hope this doesn't bore you :P

Loving my Penny Black Christmas stamps :D You'll be seeing a couple more of them in the coming few days... :) And then, I hope to get back to using some of my PTI stamps before they feel neglected. Hope you like this sleigh-pulling-hedgehog as much as I do :)

I do hope to sell some Christmas cards this year... this will be the first time I'm selling Christmas cards :) Let's wish me luck! :)

Code : HH0017

I love the cute hedgehogs! It's so tempting to buy lots of PB stamps!

Merry & Bright

I made this Christmas card in less than 30 mins.... well, it could have been faster but the Carl puncher I have gave me problems... am going to get an EK one, I think they are of better quality... :P  But much pricier, so nevermind.... I think I'll live with this.... until next month? LOL... I love tools and acrylic stamps and all things related to cardmaking (and scrapbooking)! :P

I think I'm going to make a bunch of this card to give out :)

Code : HH0016

Do you think people will like receiving this? :)

M's Sketch Challenge #3

I made it into Top 10 for M's 2nd Sketch Challenge! :D

And now, on to her 3rd Challenge! :) These days, I've been kinda 'tied' up with things and have not participated in as many challenges as I would love too but I will try not to miss M's challenges :) Really have to up my game and participate more.

Here's my card for M's challenge :

Code : HH0015

And here's the reason why I've been missing so much! :)

Hubby's a kitty person.... I, well, love dogs a little bit more but cats are easier to keep a little bit since they toilet-train quite well :)

He's been a cutie... kinda agressive and hyper-active but I think it's just cos he's a little kitty. But I want him to be hyper... fun watching him dashing here and there! :P
