Hello everyone…. Today, we are celebrating a special day. It is Mother’s Day.
I love this quote from Graciellie Design, Happy Mother’s Day digital stamp. And I hope this words encouraging you all today on this special day. Yes… a mother’s love endures through all. A mother won’t give up.
It reminds me of our God’s everlasting love in our lives. His love and faithfulness endures forever.
“For his unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord!” Psalms 117:2 NLT
His unfailing love is powerful. His unfailing love saves us from death. His unfailing love gives us life. In his faithfulness we can find hope, peace and comfort.
I have met so many women who (married and single) who have given their lives to be “a mom” to others. They nurture spiritually and physically. I, myself, have a mom, mother-in-law, and many spiritual moms. I give thanks to the Lord for giving them in my life. They have left so many foot prints in my life that help and guide me to know and love God more.
Whether you are a real mom or a spiritual mom or foster mom, you are “a mom” to someone. You are leaving a foot print in someone’s life today.
Hello everyone! This month is a graduation month. I know it is not the kind of graduation that we all imagine but there is one thing we can celebrate: God’s goodness in the graduate’s life.
I would like to share with you all this graduation gift box card that I made:
I used the Neat and Tangled Box Die to make that gift box. I die cut the yellow cardstock for the base box, then I cut out another purple patterned pape with the box die but this one I trimmed it to use it just for the front.
I put the box together using permanent adhesive glue, and I added it on the front of the card with same adhesive glue. I tucked in the a piece of tissue paper inside the box and I secured it with some glue.
I used an old graduation stamp set from Close To My Heart. I stamped the hat and certificate scroll with black ink pad on a white cardstock and fussy cut them with scissors. I added them on the box with adhesive glue.
Then I stamped the sentiment right under the box with the same black ink pad.
Today is the new May Anything Goes With Dies challenge goes live. There are several challenges on Happy Little Stampers blog that will give you inspirations to create this month. Hope you all can play along with our challenge and share your projects with us.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful day.
Hello everyone! Welcome to the STAMPlorations Spring Fling Blog Hop and Linky Party! We’re kicking off this Spring season in a fun way.
For this blog hope today, I made this Spring themed mixed media card to share with you all.
I am a believer that we all are meant to bloom in wherever we are planted and strive through any circumstances. Life is a gift. Don’t give up, bloom my friends… bloom!
I used heavyweight cardstock for the background because I did several layers with stencils and various mediums.
I used basic stencil by adding Distress Oxide ink pads on the stencil with blending brush, and also stamping with stencil technique.
When I was done building up the stenciled background, I added a thin layer of white gesso around the cardstock to mute some of the colors. And I added some Gelatos around the edges of the cardstock for some shading. After that I dried it with craft heater.
Next, I used second generation stamping and third generation stamping technique to add extra texture on the background with the stamps and VersaFine Clair ink pads.
I dries the whole panel one more time to make sure all dried well and then I cut it with the medium size stitch rectangle die. I added the background panel on a white card with permanent adhesive runner.
I added the sticker sentiment on a piece of white cardstock. After that, I trimmed it with paper trimmer. Then, I added the sentiment label on the card with 3D foam tape.
I embellished the card with some of the circle sequins from the Confetti Shaker Blend pack using dries-clear permanent glue.
I hope this card brings some smiles on your face and give a spark of idea to create. For more Spring Fling inspirations, head over STAMPlorations Blog.

Hello everyone! It’s Thursday… It is time to take a little coffee break with me. To be honest with you all, I really need a good break after all this “stay at home” situation. Simply, having a girls’ night out with my girl-friends will do. We love to just go out, have coffee, dinner, and talk talk talk.
But… My friends… we all are maybe feeling stuck and helpless right, still have faith that things will get better and stay strong because we all are in this together.
I colored them with SN Illustrator Markers and Sparkle Clear Brush.
