Mom, You Are Special

Mother’s Day is getting closer. I am missing my mom more and more. She lives in a different country but I am so thankful for the technology, we can always Skype with her. I always hope one day we can celebrate this special day with her.

In this special week, I am working on cards for special moms I know 🙂 Today I would love to share with one of the cards I have been making:

I cut 4.25″ x 11″ Kraft Cardstock and scored in the middle to make the card base.

First, I heat embossed the flowers from Flowers For Mom stamp set. Before stamping the flower using VersaMark watermark ink pad, I rubbed the card with anti-static power all over the card so the embossing powder won’t stick everywhere, then stamped the flowers, added the Ranger Super Fine White Embossing Powder, and heat set it using Craft Heater.

Second step is stamping the sentiment. Using Black Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad, I stamped the sentiment from Flowers For Mom stamp set on the card base.

Next is adding the Chevron Ruby ribbon on the card (retired) using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue. It dries clear and quick.

On a piece of White Daisy Cardstock, I stamped the flowers and leaves from Have A Happy Day stamp set using Canary Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (flowers) and Pear Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (leaves). Then using my Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors, I cut them one by one and added them on the card using Tombow glue and 3D foam tape.

And then I stamped the saying from Flowers For Mom stamp set on the piece of White Daisy cardstock with Cotton Candy Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad, then I cut the dove tail using my Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors and added it on top of the ribbon using 3D foam tape. Then I finished the card with some Sparkles Clear Assortment, Sequins Gold Assortments and couple of the pink glitter butterflies from Junebug Puffies (these cute puffies are still at While Supplies Last section, all items in this section is only available until they are all gone).

I was quite nervous but I took the challenge from Virginia’s View Challenge #14 – adding layers and dimensions to the project. Like the result 😀

 

Other Supplies:

My Acrylix Blocks: 1″ x 1″, 1″ x 3 1/2″, 2″ x 2″, 2″ x 3 1/2″

You’re My Type

Today I would like to share my project that made for Stuck On U Sketches Die Cut Challenge this week. The theme is Industrial. You are challenge to create any projects that has die cuts such as: typewriter, gear, telephone, lamp, light, etc.

I created a card using my Silhouette Cameo. I cut the typewriter die cut from Jamie Koay, You’re My Type Typewriter out of a piece of White Daisy cardstock and added on the card using Martha Stewart ballpoint tip glue pen.

And I stamped the sentiment from Happy Everything stamp set on a piece of velum, heat-embossed it with Ranger White Embossing powder and Craft Heat Tool. I used Tombow Velum glue runner to glue the velum on the card. And I finished it with 2 CTMH chevron wood veneer (retired).

I hope you can play with us this week and I’d love to see your projects, too. You can link up using the Mister Linky HERE.

Can’t Thank You Enough

I am so grateful for a lot of people who have been partnering with us to do the ministry God has called us to do.

One of the ways people partnering with us to bring the Good News to the people in SEA* is they buy things I made for giving back to the ministry. As a thank you for all of them, I made a card that I put on the paper bag. 

I stamped the sentiment from Neat and Tangled – All My Heart with VersaMark ink pad and heatembossed it with White Embossing powder.

And I created that watercolor-batik background. First, on the craft sheet, I smudge some Thistle and Gypsy exclusing ink pads, then spray some water, not too much just enough to wet them to mix. Than then add the embossed paper on it, twist a little bit to mix the color and to cover all paper.

And using Craft heater, dry the wet paper and done.

  

Using a lot of glue runner, I added the watercolored paper on a black mat cardstock and then add them on the white square card.

I finished the card with bunch of sequins I got from Neat and Tangled using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.

 

And this is how I add the card on the paper back. With a paper doily and clothes pin.

Simple and made out of a thankful heart.
