Just for you on this new year :)


Hope it's not too late for me to wish a very Happy New Year to everyone!! How's the new year been for everybody so far? Really good I hope....at least for me it's been a good start. I want to do my best to focus on good health and enjoying life as it comes. Don't want to stress myself too much. Last year was a really stressful year for me. So for this year, hopefully, more fun will come my way :D.

It's been a while since I last posted a handmade card design on this blog. I kept posting too much of handmade books. So I'm excited today to share a new card design here for the first time this year. It's a simple swing card design with a simple quilling flower arrangement on the front cover.

I haven't been quilling that much last year. Just some small projects done on quilling because most of the time I would be spending on making quilling starter packs instead. So it was a little exciting to do the quilling flower arrangement even though it was a simple one.

I love the huge wooden button because the design on the button was perfect for the pattern paper I chose for the card. It was a perfect match! It's not always that you can find two patterns of different material that compliments each other really well. So I had to add that button to the card. :)

I really like the olive green colours and how it combines really well with brown and other warm colours of the pattern paper. It gives a warm fuzzy feeling to it. This card can be used as a birthday card or a card for any occasion for that matter. And quite suitable to be given to a girl or a lady :).

More cards coming soon in shaa Allah......:)

Oops, Lin...I was writing a comment and I opened another window so I could get a link for you and when I came back my comment was gone...I'm not sure if it went through or not. Just in case it didn't, I was just saying I love the dark olive paper with the bright pops of color and I love how you used it - it's so fun seeing what you do!

The link I wanted to give you is to a card that I saw recently...it's so unique and it looked like something you would do. It's a screen divider card but they cut it to make it pop up. Here's the link:

Do post if you try it!

happy Thursday to you, dear -

Dear Sandi...
I wonder if you realised that the dark olive pattern paper is the paper you gave me some time ago? I still have lots of pattern paper that has yet to be used! Many of which I love! I love using the papers you gave me. They are all so beautiful :)

Wow....that screen card is very pretty! I must make time to make one this year! Thank you so much for the idea! Hope you had a great Thursday!

Love,
Lin

Grace to You said...

Yes, I recognized the paper. :) I love it too, but I love even more seeing what you did with it.

Do you think the screen card would be hard to do?

love,
Sandi

Azlina Abdul said...

Awwww thank you Sandi :).

I think the screen card is not that difficult to do. I haven't tried it yet but I have already seen the tutorial at youtube and at some other blogs. I haven't the chance to try it yet, but will give it try soon :)

Love
Lin
