Sweet Card Post

Hey, hey... I have a sweet post over at the Sweet Blog today!

Do drop by and check it out... talking about combining sets :)

Sweet Journalling Cards

Warning : This is a picture heavy post :) Not going to have a lot of words but would still be nice to go through the pictures with a cup of coffee or tea in your hands *winks*

When I design my stamp sets, I try to think of as many ways as I can to use them (I really do love versatility and that adds more bang for our buck too, right?). And so I think of using them for Project Life cards as well as for mini albums, scrapbooking and of course, card making. 

In this post, I am sharing project life cards that I made with my designs (you can get them over at Sweet Stamp Shop or for my Malaysian peeps, I do offer pre-order so we can all save on some shipping. Email me at evelin@evelintdesigns.com)

A monkey, an elephant and a bear :)

Life is a balancing act 

Lets fly away

Remembering today

And now, for some close-ups :)

I added Wink of Stella on the balloons. It really does glitter but can't seem to capture that on camera.

I know I have Copic markers but watercolor is so fun too!

And yes,  I fussy-cut all of them :)

Below are the stamp sets I illustrated and you can get them over at Sweet Stamp Shop or pre-order them with me at evelin@evelintdesigns.com (pre-order only open for Malaysian/Singaporean peeps for them to save on shipping. US folks get a great shipping deal from the Sweet Shop)

Juggling Bear

Monkey Business

Elephant Hearts

Thanks for reading all the way through. Hope you love my illustrations as much as I do and find them versatile as well. Remember to post a comment to link me to your projects using them, ya? :)

Card : Juggling Bear & Happy Monkey

I was waiting excitedly for the postman to arrive and when I opened the envelope containing the stamps, it felt so surreal. Wow, stamp sets that I designed (!) How awesome is that? I am very thankful to sweet Nicole from Sweet Stamp Shop for having confidence in me & for this fantastic opportunity.

I couldn't wait to ink up the stamps I designed for Sweet Stamp Shop when I received them. However, I had to wait for my hubby to take over baby duties and boy, it seemed like a long wait (although, it really wasn't.. He's great & help out whenever he's home from work. Am VERY grateful for that).

So I inked up quite a number of images on watercolor paper and then painted them when the baby fell asleep. That gives time for the ink to dry completely and not run when I use watercolor so that worked out great :)

This is one of the cards I made (and I will be sharing more in the coming weeks.. I made some Project Life cards with these stamps too) *winks*

Happy Birthday, happy friend :)

I use watercolor to paint my images. I love the translucent effect of watercolor.

And these are two of the 3 sets I designed. You can purchase them over at the Sweet Stamp Shop. Do tell Nicole that I sent you (in the comment section when you purchase).

Friends in Malaysia or Singapore, if you would like to purchase these sets or any other sets from the Sweet Stamp Shop, you can pre-order them from me. Just email me at evelin@evelintdesigns.com with the Subject : "Sweet Pre-Order"

Pre-Order closes on the 10th June PDT.

I designed these!

Once upon a time, I dreamt of one day designing stamp sets for crafters to use.

Once upon a time when I first started card-making, I dreamt that maybe one day I would be able to illustrate some stamp sets that I can call my own.

And now this dream of mine has finally materialized and I am beyond ecstatic! I am designing for Sweet Stamp Shop now (cue rainbows, snowflakes and happy dance!) and these are the sets we are launching today! Check out the Sweet Blog for loads of inspirations using these sets.

Juggling Act

Monkey Business

Elephant Hearts

Dots do connect. If we look back, we will be able to see them connect so beautifully. We just have to believe.

I hope you love my illustrations and will use them for your card-making, scrapbooking, Project Life and crafting purposes. I will be sharing my greeting cards and Project Life cards made using these stamps. First card shared will be up on Friday! :)

Also, please do link back and leave me a comment if you use the images from the stamp sets I designed. I would LOVE to see how you use them!

And best of all, you get 10% OFF if you purchase today on RELEASE DAY with this code JR310. Head on over to the SWEET Shop now!

Random Instagram Photos

I just finished 3 days of craft market over at Sunway University and though sales wasn't as encouraging because it's apparently the study leave week, I had a great time bonding with the other crafters :)

But I think I'm too tired now to think of what to blog so here's some random photos I took with instagram for you :P 

my painting supplies... wanna start painting again

Monkey see, Monkey do :)

Postcards I sent myself from Bangkok

Will be back with postings of cards soon! :)
