One of a kind graduation card

I suddenly have this creative idea on turning the box card into a graduation cap. I made some embellishments to go with it. The tassel is made from threads for cross stitch. I used a red one to tie around the "certificate".
The bouquet is made with heart and flower shapes.

Haven't done the inside of the card....it has to be personalized like the wedding box card before giving away.

Wedding Card Project

These first five pictures of the box card are my latest update. The card's finally decorated with embellishments made from cut outs. This is one of the sides....
The top...
I personalized the card by putting pictures of the bride and groom...
and stick messages in the layered panels...
A great card project to make and greater still, a pleasure to give to an endearing couple as a wedding gift.
I'm taking my sweet time decorating this Wedding Card Box. The wedding cake and bride's bouquet are embellished and colored.
Lots more to be done with all three layers of the exploding box.

will update later....

Exploding Box Card

This is a wonderful card project to make with Crafters Companion Score Boards.
I make and cut out embellishments to decorate the box card.
When the box lid is lifted up, it opens up to layers of decorated panel. This card is exploding with love messages.
This is the most important love definition from the Bible that has been a guideline in my life in all relationships.

Jump Up Card

I've just got myself a set of awesome craft tools which I would recommend to card makers. I made this Jump Up card with the help of the Top Score Multiboard. You can check it out at www.crafterscompanion.com under Score Boards or Projects and How To Videos.
This is my very first try out with Top Score Multiboard and I'm sure going to make a lot of other cards with it.

Memories

This card was an accidental creation. Let me explain, I caught sight of an old used shopping paper bag and was inspired from it to make this card. The cut out girl figure is from the recycled paper bag. Think green, go environmental friendly, even the pictures on the paper bags can be recycled! LOL... I cut out a circle out of a white paper cardstock for the moon, stamped white swirls for background on a red card, punched and colored the orange flowers and plucked a pink sakura from our house decoration and found some Chinese words to go with the card. The Chinese characters are from Jeart die - 1990002 Hui Yi Si Nian.
"Memories" - it brings back fond memories of the good old days when every year, during Mooncake Festival my parents would invite dear grandpa and grandma over for dinner and after that we would sit and chat under the bright moonlit sky and enjoy the mooncakes and biscuits made just for the festival.

How kind and sweet of you

I was trying my hands on waterfall card from an instruction but didn't quite get it.
So I ended up creating my own and ended up a card with a new design.

Heart that Loves....


This adorable toddler template which I got from a book is irresistible. It can be used to make children birthday and baby cards.

For this card, it's an inspirational card with a Greek proverb that says "The heart that loves is always young."

Stay loving, stay young.
