Happy New Year

 I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! 2014 was a challenging year for me but God is good to me and my family. He blessed us with so many things that is beyond my human thinking. I'm looking forward to 2015 and see what God has for me as I faithfully serve and love Him more. I would like to blog more in 2015. 2014 I blog very little and that made me sad. The car accident a year ago stop me from do so. Something I love and enjoy doing but couldn't do much of.

Something small I gave to my friends as a "thank you" for helping me. A little note card and a crochet snowflake tie to a rock candy. I randomly stamped snowflakes and then added a snowflake sticker to one of the snowflakes. Stamped a "thank you" sentiment and the card is done. Easy to do.


Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful start in 2015!

Colourful Leaves Thank You Card

Hello, stampers! Another fall card for you. I was trying to make a card with the swirly on it but it didn't not turn out the way I've envision. It still looks good though. Because I moved my stamps to a different part of the room I couldn't find a certain stamp that I wanted to use. I found the Baroque Motifs stamp set instead. It has a swirly stamp in it so it works out too.


 

The leaves are die cuts. I cut them out and then sponge them. Tied the leaves with a twine at the stems and then adhere them onto the card. Fast and easy card.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Autumn Thank You Card

Hello, stampers! Summer season is almost over and we're into the fall season soon. I love fall. I love the leaves when they turn to different shades of colours. Everywhere I go there is beautiful colours around me. That's the beauty of God's creation. Just thinking about fall gives me the inspiration to make this card.

I used the leaf and acorns from the Gently Falling stamp set, Weathered stamp for the background and the Because I Care stamp for the sentiment to make this card. Very simple. Hope you like it.

Have good day! Happy Stamping!

French Foliage Thank You Card

Good day! I made a simple "thank you" card using the French Foliage stamp set. The leaf is very light in colour after I embossed the white card stock. Next time I'll use a darker colour ink so it'll show up more. I like how the card turn out even though it is hard to see the images.

I have been busy moving my stamping supplies to a different room (would love to have my own stamping room) and purge what ever I don't need or want anymore. I'm not done yet. Takes forever it seems. I can't believe I have so many stamping supplies that I haven't use. Time to do something with them.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Globe Thank You Card

Hi, stampers! Not much stamping done lately. I was sick for almost 2 weeks. Another flu. Sigh! This is my fourth one this year. Couldn't get clean my house all those days.

Anyway, I'm happy I was able to get some card making this past weekend. I had the globe image sitting on my desk for awhile and finally made a card with it. Just a simple card but I love it because it is in blue colour.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Launch Out Thank You Cards and Box

Good day stampers! I finally finished decorating the box I made here. I made matching cards to go inside the box. I used The Open Sea stamp set that I love so much and sad it is retiring to make the cards and box. I never get tire of this stamp set.

I got my inspirations from the back cover of the Baptist Voice magazine from Lancaster Baptist Church. I love reading this magazine. Lots of great articles to read.

 

Box cover.

The box holds 6 cards and envelopes comfortably.

Thank You Cards and Matching Box

Happy Friday! I made some "thank you" cards and thought I would make a matching box to hold the cards. These are the same cards I made a week ago. I just add different sentiment to the cards.

Top of the box. I added 2 butterflies to the box. The added touch made the box look really pretty.

Now who'll I give this box to? Gotta check my calendar to see who's birthday is coming up next.

Cute bicycle! I always wonder how people back in the old days was able ride it.

Secret Garden Thank You Cards

Hello, stampers! Hope you are having a great week so far. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. What are you doing for Valentine's Day? My husband and I are going to a Couples' Banquet at church. No need to wait in line like at a restaurant. Seating are guaranteed.

I made a whole bunch of this card yesterday. I'm behind on my "thank yous" about a month. I miscalculate how many I need to make and now I have to make some more.

I used the Secret Garden stamp set that can be found in the Spring Mini Catalogue. There is a framelit die that comes with it making it easier to cut the flower out than cutting them by hand. Love it! No more cutting by hand for me.

Thank you for stopping by! Happy stamping!

Thank You Cards

Happy New Year everyone! Did you have a wonderful Christmas? Mine was the same every year except last year's. Christmas eve at the in laws side and on Christmas day for my side. For both sides there were a few relatives who couldn't make it to the parties. Some had to work and some decided to go somewhere else. It was a pretty quiet Christmas.

I needed some "thank you" cards so I made them in white and all shades of blues that I have. Snowflakes are my favourite. I made my Christmas cards in red snowflakes and now I made the "thank you" cards in blue snowflakes. I never get tired of snowflakes.

Supplies:
stamps- Snowflakes, Curly Cute
papers- whisper white, bajah breeze, pacific point
inks- bajah breeze, night of navy, pacific point
accessories- midnight muse satin stitched ribbon, slot punch, 1" and 1-1/4" circle punches, northern flurry embossing folder, apothecary accents framelits

Open Sea Thank You

Hello, stampers! Good day! I made some "thank you" cards for Martin to give to his friends. Black and white makes a nice masculine card. I love the Open Sea stamp set. One of my favourite stamp sets.

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

For The Teacher

Hello, everyone! Hope you're having a good day so far.

Here is a box and card set I made for my daughter's flute teacher. 

I made the box base with a 12" x 12" Chocolate Chip card stock and the lid with an 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" Bajah Breeze card stock.

I die cut the flower with the Fun Flowers Die in Bajah Breeze card stock, emboss it with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and then sponge the edges. I adhere the flower with Dimensional. Then I add a Rose Red rose in the middle of the flower.

Here is a matching card. The flower is done with the Blossom Punch. I find the other flower on the box is too big so I use the punch flower instead.

I did the flower the same way as the one on the box.

Here is what is inside the box. I crochet a couple of dish cloths for the teacher. My first time crocheting them.

I made the box and card according to the dish cloths colours. It is so nice that everything matches.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a good day!

Thank You Apothecary Art Card

Good day stampers! I'm so glad it is Friday. That means weekend is here.

I made this card (about 10) for a lady at church. At least once a year she order cards from me. She wanted "thank you" cards this time. She used to stamp but too busy now to do it.

Yes, another card that uses the Apothecary Art stamp set and the Label Occasion Framelit die. They are my new favourite things from the Occasion Mini catalogue. It is a very simple card to make yet beautiful. I love blue colour so that's the colour for her cards since she have preference on how the card should look like. Hope she like it.

Have a great day and thank you so much for visiting my blog today!

Snowflakes Thank Yous

How was everyone's Christmas? As always mine was a busy one. Went to the in-laws side on Christmas Eve and my side of family on Christmas day. Made my Christmas cards last minute like two weeks before Christmas. Not a good idea to do that. Note to self. Make Christmas cards earlier next year.

Here are some "thank you" cards I whip up in no time. Very easy and fast to make.

I stamped the main images using the Serene Snowflakes stamp set. I love this set so much and use it a lot. The bigger snowflake can be the main image and the small ones can be use to make background paper.

There is a rhinestone in the middle of the bigger snowflake. You can't see it in the photo too well but very pretty in real life.

Thank you for stopping by today.

What Kind of flower Is This?

Hello everyone! Good day!

I'm not sure what kind of flower this is. Could someone tell me? I think is chrysanthemum but not sure.
This flower is from the Fabulous Florets stamp set. I stamped the flower once on paper and then stamp off to get the lighter shade of the flower without re-inking the stamp. I used the Elegant Lines Embossing folder for the background. I made a few of these cards to give to a friend for her birthday that is coming up.

Thank you for visiting today! Have a fabulous day!

Red Hydrangea?

Happy Saturday! Beautiful sunny day today! Made me very happy to have a nice day after the gloomy Canada Day. Hope you all had a wonderful Canada Day yesterday. We wanted to see the festival at Stevestons but couldn't find any parking so we ended up going to strawberry picking instead. The girls really enjoyed it. Our son wasn't with us and Faith wasn't too happy with anything we do but I was glad she enjoyed the strawberry picking.

Red hydrangea? I don't think I have ever seen a red one before. Only in stamping creation. Using up my left over card packages again for these cards. I'm barely making a dent on my stash of card packages.

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a fabulous long weekend!

Flower Garden Cards

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!

I made a pack of these cards for my kids' piano teacher as "thank you" for teaching them. I used the Flower Garden Embossing folder, can found in the Summer Mini catalogue, for the main image. For the card base I used the Square Lattice Embossing folder.

I used the Stampin' Dauber to colour in the flowers. The rest of the card is pretty much self explanatory. Very simple card. Hope she likes it and make use of them.

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a good day!

Open Sea Cards Part 2

Here are two more cards using the The Open Sea stamp set. I have one more to show you with a group picture of the cards which will be in the next post.


I use the Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper from the Summer mini for the background. This paper is so pretty. I had a hard time using cause I love it so much and didn't want to cut into it.



Well, it is a beautiful sunny day today so I'll be outside most of the time. Spending time with my little one.

Thank you for visiting me today! Enjoy your day!

Vancouver Regional Project # 3 A Note of Thanks Card

Good day everyone! Here is another project from the Vancouver Regional make n' take that uses the Nature Walk stamp set. This card took me awhile to make because I couldn't get the crimple (I don't think there is such word) or ripple look to the Old Olive cardstock. I had to borrow the Crimper from another demonstrator. I guess mine is broken. I tried to crimp the cardstock so many times it made a funny look to the bottom of the cardstock so I cut it off. I like how it turned out. You can't tell that there was something wrong with the card.

Thank you for visiting today! Have a great day!
