Embrace life - Donut card

Hi everyone,

Donut card has been around for a while. The image inside the window really catches my eyes. This card was made when my family was on holiday a while ago. I brought stamping equipment with me so I could have a stamping session with some friends. A lot of talking was done, along with stamping, punching, cutting, etc.

Embrace life is one of my favour sets (I have so many favour sets – that’s why I became a demo J ). Sometimes, it took me a while before I actually like a stamp set but this set was my “love at the first sign”.

Supplies list

Stamps: Embrace life, All Scallops
Cardstock: Ruby red, Cameo Coral, Whisper White
Inks: Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Basic Grey
Punches: Scallop Edge, Word Window
Others: River Rock double stitched ribbon, DSP Ginger Blossom, Blender pen

Love Owl-ways card

Hi everyone,
I made this card for my husband. Again, I went for Real Red and Close to Cocoa. I used Sprinkles stamps set to create a background with lots of little hearts. I stamped the image on Very Vanilla, then color with water color pencil. I added Stampin' Gillter in Pink on the heart.
I like to have some embellisments on my card, normally. With this, I used Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain and Very Vanilla 1/4" Grosgrain. Personally, I really like the color mix of this card and special the ribbons. :-) How about you?
I also used Wonderful Favourites stamps set for words. With this set, there are so many words which you can use for many different people around you.

Eastern blooms Altered pencil holder


Hi everyone.

Today, I want to show you one of the pencil holders I made in Dec last year as Xmas presents. I saw these pencil holders in starionery stores and thought they were perfect for my projects.

Eastern Blooms is one of my favourite stamp sets from the Summer Mini Catalogue. I like the branch with tiny flowers on . Plus six flowers come in different sizes and shapes. They become useful when you want to mix & match ink colors & papers. See what I came up with.

Is this pencil holder beautiful? :-)

I like the mix of these strong colours. They make the project look bright, beautiful and summery. But not too busy or over done with the colours. Tempting Turquoise is not really on my first choice list. After finishing this project, I think it is now. All the flowers were embossed with clear powder. Im thinking You can make few of them to give your kid’s teachers, your friends, birthday presents, etc. They can be very useful to every household to keep their pens handy in the kitchen, home office, etc, you name it! I kept one of these for myself. I’m going to make another one in a retangle shape.

Supplies list:

- Papers: Oliver Oliver, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise
- Ink pads: Oliver Oliver, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise
- Others: Clear Embossing powder, glitter, 3/8 inches Tempting Turquoise ribbon, double-stiched Pure Pomegranate ribbon

Pirates birthday invites & cake

Hi everyone,

Here are 2 birthday invite samples I made for my son's birthday with AHOY MATEY stamps set.
The first card:
I used Sahara Sand paper, A4 size cut in half. Whisper White paper. I used colors in ballet blue, real red, summer sun, so saffron, garden green, tempting turquoise and black. I stamped all the main figures first. Then colored them with markers. After that, I used a masking technique before randomly stamping the background in Creamy Caramel color. I also used the 1-3/8” circle punch on the second invite.
Here is the second card. I used the same technique and the supplies list.

My son Oliver wanted to have a big pirate ship cake for his birthday. So here is what he got.

Oliver loved his cake. He & his friends took turn to blow the candles and then enjoyed the cake together.

You can see that Cake Baking & Decorating is one of my other passions, beside stamping. :-)

Colours Inspiration #40

Hi everyone.

The colour inspiration #40 from Kristina contains 5 colours: More Mustard, So Saffron, Taken with tea, Old Oliver and Whisper White.

When I saw this colour combo, I though it would be a good chance to try my “brand new” POLKA DOT PUNCHES stamps set. I like to use this set to create some background. It didn’t take me long to come up with the design. See what Ive got.

I’m very please that I used all 5 inkpads and paper colours. I also used 2 other stamps sets: Congrats (for words) and All Scallops (to make a border). Definitely I will use this Polka dot set again. I can't wait to make more projects with it.

Thank you for visiting. Have a good weekend.
