Wedding Invitation Card

A dear church friend has requested that I help her make Wedding Invitation cards for her precious daughter's upcoming Big Day. I have never made wedding invitation card and it makes me nervous thinking of making "formal" cards for giving out. However, I love the challenge of making cards for all occasion so I tell myself why not. I've to make more than 20 cards and I get bored easily making too many cards with one design so I might have to come up with a few designs and get inspiration from other cardmakers, books, magazines....

I love lilies for wedding bouquet...did I have lilies for my wedding bouquet?...gotta ask my better half if I did or didn't. It's been over 21 years that we are married and I can't remember the details :( Anyway, the lilies are made from heart shapes, one bigger one for the lillies and one for the bottom part (whatever it's called lol....)

Wedding Pop Up Card

I'm having so much fun with pop ups and stamping that I end up making this card. I cut out the embossed heart/bird from Jeart die to create a frame for message.

Can't see it very well but the bridal dress has silver glitter so this picture doesn't do justice to the real card..LOL...I've also left the inside card blank to fill in messages. I've yet to create a cover for this wedding card.

Love you to bits, MOM!

This weekend is Mother's Day. I'm sure everyone will be busy thinking of something to give to their mom or somewhere to take her to dine out. My mom is a big inspiration for me to make a love card for Mother's day. From young till now she's packed with love for all of us siblings and I've learned something about unconditional love from her.

I wanted a card that describes my mom, a woman of utmost respect, full of love and who loves gardening. That's why I go for layered pop up card so I can stick lots of flowers (all the scraps of flower shape I collected over time) to make it look like a mini garden. Pretty simple to make and I'm glad I still enjoy making cards....

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers.

Fun with stamping

I found some really awesome rubber stamps and once I got them I couldn't wait to make greeting cards with them. I cut out a tree die shape, cropped off the tree top and stamped words to look like extended tree branch to fill in messages.

Yummy cupcakes....

FYI Package Collector Set

These dies are really wonderful to use. There are a lot of shapes for cut outs with die-cut machine on each pattern die. The one in the middle is Envelope die. After cutting, just fold and slip a tiny note in it. The Sakura Flower die has different sizes of flowers and leaves.

Endless variety of creation with dies like this....I love each one of the die!

Thank You

It's been a long while since I last posted the cards that I made. It's only appropriate to start with Thank You cards to thank you - yes, you :) for logging into my blog to check out my handmade cards.

This is a gated card with die cuts of big heart and flowers and letter alphabets all from Sizzix.

Yeap! God made you extra special.

Alphabet die cuts from Sizzix. I made a quilled daisy to add to the card. The border is punched with a border punch.

The pencil and book die cuts are from Jeart 10000028-12 Book/Pencil.

Teachers are truly the extra special people that God put in our lives to impart knowledge to us and our kids. Thank you to all you teachers out there.
