Praying For You

Hello everyone… It is Saturday… YAY! Today I have an updated and a card to share with you all.

We all need prayer. In the last couple of weeks, I requested prayers for my dad who had another major surgery in Indonesia. It was his second time in 3 months. Every day I called my parents, my mind split into two continents, and always wish I could be there to help.

But I am so very thankful that I always can count on my living and powerful GOD who always there for them and be with them to go through it all. I am so thankful for all family and friends who also covering them in prayers. For sure, all of your prayers were answered. My dad is going home soon. He is eating better and getting his strength back to sit up and even standing up. My mom stays healthy even though she is tired.

I created my card using Lovely Flower Clear Stamps, Fancy Fan Die, Lattice Background Die, Shabby Rose Collection Paper Pad, and Pastel Paper Pack.

It is simply stamping and die cutting.

  • Add one of the patterned papers from Shabby Rose Collection on the card base with adhesive.
  • Die cut the Lattice Background out of one of the Pastel Paper Pack.
  • Add another patterned paper from Shabby Rose Collection on the back of the Lattice Background die cut, and trim the extra.
  • Add the Lattice Background in the card base with adhesive.
  • Stamp the flowers and sentiment from Lovely Flower Clear Stamps set with black ink pad.
  • Die cut the flowers with the matching Fancy Fan Die.
  • Trim off the fan handle for the sentiment only.
  • Put the fan together with a small brad. Spread them and add on the card with glue dots.
  • Add some silver thread on the fan.
  • Add the sentiment on it with 3D foam tape.

That’s my card for today. Love the pastel/soft colors and how unique the fancy fan on this card. I hope you also like this card 🙂 For more inspirations and saving money bundles, visit Our Daily Bread Designs Blog today!

STAMPlorations Theme & Sketch Challenge Reminder

Hello everyone… We are third week of April already… WOW… Surely time flies fast, especially when we are having fun!

Today, I am sharing my last card as STAMPlorations Stamp & Theme Challenge Guest Designer. It’s been a fantastic 4 months creating with the team and sharing the projects with you all! Here are the theme and sketch for April Challenge:

Here’s my card I created inspired by the theme of this month challenge using the Trendy Butterflies 2 and this time I pair it up with Fond Expressions stamp set and Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.

I created my background using Imagine Crafts – FireWorks! Sprays (Angel Pink, Rose Bud, London Fog) that I sprayed and splashed on a canson watercolor paper. Then I run it through my die cutting machine with the largest size of the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies. And then  I added the panel with Tombow Xtreme adhesive.

After that, I stamped the butterflies from Trendy Butterflies 2 with Versafine Onyx Black ink pad. And then I stamped the sentiment from Fond Expressions stamp set using Lollipop Ink Pad (Taylored Expressions) on a white cardstock and I cut it into a paper stripe with tail. I added on the card with 3D foam adhesive.

My card is done. I did not add any embellishment on it, becuase the spray itself already shiny 🙂

CLC Thursday Coffee Break: Thanks A Latte

Hello everyone…Happy Thursday. I hope you all so far have a fabulous week. It’s been a rainy week for us, but we had some good day to enjoy the Spring outside.

Today, I am sharing a mixed media card for Thursday Coffee Break at Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog. This project is also a CASE card inspired by our CASEing DT Link Up Party #12.

I created the background with Ken Oliver Color Burst Powder, Imagine Crafts – FireWorks! London Fog Spray, Broken Glass – ARTplorations Stencil, and Perfect Pearl Spray Mixture.

I added some of the Color Burst powder on the craft mat, spray with Perfect Pearl spray, and then smoosh in the canson watercolor paper in it to create the first wash. I dried in between blending and smooshing the ink. And then I added the stencil on the panel and spray the London Fog FireWorks! spray on it. I picked up the stencil right away to avoid the sipping under the stencil.

Once the panel dried, I run it through my die cutting machine with one of the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies – CUTplorations. And added it on my card base with Tombow Xtreme Adhesive.

I added a silver paper doily from my stash with one of the pierced circle die cut on it.

I stamped the Cup of Roses from A Cup of Roses stamp set – STAMPlorations on canson watercolor paper with Mini Misti and Versafine Onyx Black ink pad. Then I colored it with Koi Watercolors Paint and I added glitter with Wink Of Stella brush. After the paint dried, I fussy cut it with micro-tip scissors and I added it on the card with 3D foam tape.

Then I die cut the sentiment using Thanks A Latte Phrase Die – CUTplorations and pink cardstock and added it on the card with 3D foam tape.

That’s my card today. I like taking a break and coloring with any kind of medium. How about you?

I have a coupon for you to STAMPlorations store!

CAS, Watercolored Easter Card

Hello again… I am back with my second post for today. It is a new challenge at Addicted To Stamps and More Challenge. This week challenge theme is Holiday.

We just celebrated Easter, so I created a card for this Holiday with Three Calvary Crosses Die Set and Simply Said: He Is Risen Stamp Set from A Jillian Vance Design.

I simply added some yellow and orange watercolor paint from Koi Watercolors Travel set on a piece of canson watercolor paper. Then I die cut the crosses out of black cardstock and added it on the watercolored panel. Then I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black Ink Pad.

I added the finished panel on a black card base with Tombow Xtreme adhesive.

This is my last card for this term. I am taking a break from designing for ATSM for this season. I hope you all can play along with ATSM Challenge #238 – Holiday Challenge. Can’t wait to see your project 🙂

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a fabulous day 🙂

CAS, Watercolored Card: Best Mom Ever

Spring has arrived for sure. Warm, sunny and lots of flower are blooming are the signs around here. We love this weather!

AJVD April 18 - Best Mom Ever

Today, I am sharing a CAS, watercolored Mother’s Day card on A Jillian Vance Design blog. On this card I use the AJVD – Mother’s Day Stamp set, ADORNit Watercolor Pencils & Watercolor Brush, Koi Watercolors Paints, and Versafine Onyx Black Ink Pad.

For the card base, I use the A2 White Card, for the sentiment I used one of the Darice pink shade cardstock, canson watercolor paper for the flowers.

First, I stamped the rose image four times on watercolor paper using permanent Versafine Onyx Black ink pad and Mini MISTI. Then I colored them with my watercolor pencils and using watercolor brush I pulled out the pigment to color. After the watercolor paint dried, I fussy cut them.

I added some black watercolor paint splatters on the card base to create the background.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on a pink cardstock and cut it out. I arranged the roses right behind the sentiment square with liquid adhesive. And I added them on the card with 3D foam tape for extra dimension.
But then I decided to add some glitter on those roses using gliter brush pen. My card is done.
