Blue I'm blue....

Closer details of the flower sequins and beads that is sewn on the paper

MBL059 (SOLD OUT)

Oh dear! There I was stuck with the "dancing flowers" arrangement again! I just don't know why I do it but they seem to keep wanting to be that way again and again in my head...and so it applies on paper. Only this time the flowers are a bit different than the ones I've used before...it's totally flat and the other one is just a round shaped tiny sequin that I applied dots around it to form a flower. The edges of the card is different too. I'm also currently working on another 2 more designs. One is similar to this one but the sequins are a bit different, but still the flowers are dancing :D. I was listening to Julio Iglesias as I was making them hehehehe...Amor....amor....amor.....la lalalaaa..:D The card comes with a matching handmade peach coloured envelope and is left blank on the inside for writing on personal wishes. :)

Sewing beads and sequins

MBL057 (SOLD OUT)

Bead card with a matching purple envelope

MBL058 (SOLD OUT)

Alright :) ...finally! I managed to do it! Again playing with flower motifs...can't help it..love them so much! Those small and tiny flower sequins are just so cute! I just had to use them for my cards! Ever since my good friend from Hawaii ( Sweetie CC ), introduced me about the world of beads...I've been buying and collecting them little by little....got some collection of them now...and I'm looking at them in a new light as well :)

I wanted to design something sweet and simple...simple and fast enough for me to make them. I decided to sew them on a piece of card that's hard enough to stand the needle poking through it...I've done cards with sequins before and glued them on the card, which was a lot easier....but this time I wanted so much to use the beads..therefore I had to sew them! I'd love to experiment more on this technique as it's a bit different than what I'm so used to doing before... and I'm so in love with beads and sequins now..so more cards with those will be coming out in the future! :D

Brownie owl :)

LBL015

I made this card for a client...this was my first attempt to do owls instead of flowers most of the time. It has a set of eyes that can move when you shake the card...love it when they shake :). I decorated around the owl with strips of multi -coloured brown paper. This was a fun card to make and I love the brown colour papers that lines the card to form a pattern. :) It is extremely difficult to execute the design.....with so many strips of multi coloured paper to line up one by one....but the results really satisfied me. I am happy with how it turned out. This card came with a handmade cream coloured envelope.

My Doiley flowers

MBL052 (No stock)

MBL053 (No stock)

MBL054 (No stock)

I got inspired to design cards using flowers from paper doileys by a picture of a handmade card I saw in the Martha Stewart website. But of course the doiley flowers on the handmade card were so much more beautiful....I thought I should give it a try with the doileys that I could find here. The doiley flowers are so thin and delicate to cut with scissors especially the white ones. :) Each card you see here comes with a matching handmade envelope and is left blank on the inside for writing on personal wishes.

Swirling flowers in frames

AO010C (NOT AVAILABLE)

AO010B (NOT AVAILABLE)

AO010B (NOT AVAILABLE)

AO010A (NOT AVAILABLE)

Swirling flowers in frames! Twisting papers and swirling them into flower petals can be a quite fun activity :) Once I get excited about an idea I just kept making them in many colours....also in many different card designs...I have done them before without the frames but I felt putting them in frames gave me more freedom. During my free time I could make as many flowers as I wish and put them aside...so whenever I wish to make a card I could just take the framed flowers, paste them on it and in no time I got myself a flower card! So easy!

Layered coloured flowers

I love the technique of layering coloured papers to make flowers. Sometimes I even layer the leaves. It gives the flowers and leaves some tones to it. Looks cheerful and bright! :) Each card comes with a matching handmade envelope and is left blank on the inside for writing on personal wishes.

This was the first time I got craft punches and experimented with them. I made these cards in 2004, quite a long time ago...

Teacher's Day cards

TD001

TD002

TD003

First time ever this year I was asked by a client to design Teacher's Day cards.. no matter how hard I try I just couldn't stop from incorporating flowers in my designs. The only difference this time is that I tried putting the wordings in the leaves of the flowers. I love the idea so much that I even thought of using them for birthdays and other occasions as all that was needed to do was change the wordings...the design can remain the same. :) I made many designs for Teacher's day but these are special to me because of the leaves :)

Laces on cards

Paper Doily

This is the first time ever I've tried using paper doily to make greeting cards. Pretty hard in the beginning to decide how do I go about applying it on a card. I made this design for a customer.  It's meant for the Mother's day occasion. But this card is also suitable for any other special occasions. :)

Welcome everyone!

Welcome everyone to my new blog...I will be posting mostly my designs of handmade greeting cards and to share my creative side with everyone out there...

I love making and designing greeting cards especially because I like them to be different from the rest...to see a smile from the person who received my handmade greeting card is an absolute joy! It makes me happy to see the joy in others when they receive my cards...

So do drop by here whenever you can to see what's cooking! :)

Lots of Love......

V00a (SOLD OUT)

This design I made has a simple layout but is hard to make it because of the tiny hearts that I need to glue on the paper frame. I had to glue them on the paper one by one. It takes forever to finish! :) It comes with a matching handmade soft pink envelope and is left blank on the inside for writing on personal wishes.
