Hi scrappy friends.

Happy Monday! I made a card for my DT post on the SVG Attic blog today using the brand new JGW Sewn from the Heart kit.

I used the Cathedral Window 9-patch card and instead of folding the circles inwards, I did it outwards to create a different look. I also chose different patterned papers from the same collection so it would look cohesive. Here I am using "Open Book" by Crate Paper.

Then I added the new "Tea Time" set from Sweet Stamp Shop, which I have already stamped, fussy cut and colored withy my copics.

Here's a close up of my card!

I found some Valentine paper that actually had some oriental pattern to it and used it for my firecracker, along with some stickers with gold foil. The 福 word is a common Chinese character during the Lunar New Year, which means blessing, fortune, good luck and happiness.

Here's an upclose of the large firecracker!

Happy Saturday :)

It's been some time since I made something, so this week's Inspiration Time at The Cutting Cafe is churning my creative juices for a lovey dovey Valentine card.

I made a window shaker card using the Everyday Word Windows & Shakers Set 1 with the word LOVE.

Just add some sequins and pretty paper, and you got a shaker card --- ready to go!

Have a fun weekend!

Happy Monday.

 I am sharing a valentine card I made over at the SVG Attic blog.

Since it is the (movie) awards season, I thought it would be fun to make a love movie box card using CG Box Card set.

I had fun piling up all the elements, and I added lots of fun details too.

Here's a side view of how the box card looks like!

Unity Stamp also recently came up with a new stamp "Right Words of Love", which I think fits perfectly for this card. Reminds me of those black-and-white movie!

I also colored in the popcorn and drink, added washi and coupons to the box card too.

Hey my scrappy friends. :)

It's just few more days to Christmas and the New Year

AND

It's also Inspiration Time with The Cutting Cafe Design Team over at their blog.

2016 may be awesome or not for you, but hey -- we all get a fresh start for 2017!

So, I made a this cute gift to put in some tea bags.

Here are the files I used:

2017 Background Printable Set

Tea Bag Holder Template - Cutting File

I printed the 2017 Background on some vellum and sprinkled some glitter embossing over it. I added some fun washi tape to decorate the front cover too.

Then I added some stickers from Me & My Big Ideas Happy Planner stickers set and some pearls.

Then, it's time to add the tea bags (chocolate or coffee bags would work too!)

Here are some close ups!

Happy Mid-week.

It's inspiration time with The Cutting Cafe DT Team over at the blog, and we are doing some fun upcycling projects for Christmas.

So I took a fruit juice jar which was just sitting in my cupboard, and filled it with some Hershey kisses -- and decorated it! Pssstttt.. I even made a card to match it :)

Here are the supplies I used:

Christmas Mini Colored set

Christmas All Around set

Christmas Elisha Jean and friends set

Here's the card I made with the printable background and trees. I also printed Mikala Ann and colored her with Copic markers.

Here is the jar of Kisses :)

Made a cute little tag and tied it with some Trendy Twine.

And don't you think the snowman is just adorable?

Happy Monday :)

It's Inspiration Time over at The Cutting Cafe Blog and the Design Team is working on Gable Boxes this week.

Seriously, this box is like SO SO cool! 

1. It is so easy to make them

2. It looks pretty and make your gifts look prettier

3. You don't have to spend a ton of money buying boxes

4. You can decorate them however you want

5. You get to impress your relatives and friends (haha!)

So, here is my holiday version for my Gable Box. I used all DCWV papers here and even die cut those cute little Christmas trees to decorate the front of the box. I also added some Trendy Twine for the pretty bow.

Imagine the possibilities of just having fun and making customized boxes for your loved ones! 

Do check out the rest of the Design Team inspirations on The Cutting Cafe Blog.

Have a great week ahead :)

Happy Monday!

I am sharing my Design Team post over at the SVG Attic blog  ---  a shaker clam shell box I made using CG Under the Sea kit.

This clam shell box is so unique because it mimics the porthole AND it is a SHAKER "card" box.

I added some under the sea creatures stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop's Between You & Me set that I have colored and cut out to adhere onto the base. Then I added a multi-colored glitter as the shaker element.

Here's the view from the top!

Hope you're inspired to make your very own shaker clam shell box and have a wonderful week ahead!

Happy Monday!

It's wedding season and I made a box card for my Design Team post at the SVG Attic blog.

I took the Tulip Bloom box card from JGW Beautiful Bloom kit and added some elements from the Classic Wedding kit. I resized the tuxedo, wedding gown and wedding arch to fit into the card :) 

I always LOVE how easily you can mix-and-match SVG Attic kits.

For the sentiment, I used a stamp by Unity Stamp and gold embossed it. The papers are from DCWV Happy Day stack.

Happy Monday! :)

It's The Cutting Cafe Inspiration Time and it's all bout red-white-blue today.

When I saw this Funny Car treat box and shaped card set, I was TOTALLY inspired to do a Herbie. 

I grabbed my blue and red (looks kinda orangey here!) washi tapes for the stripes. And I just added some other details (like the famous 53) to the car.

This would be such a fun card to make not just for boys, but for BIG BOYS too! :)

Do check out the rest of the team's inspirations HERE.

I cut out the base card along with the rainbow, which I have glittered up with some WOW chunky Glitter to make it all so colorful and fun :) Then I stamped a Unity Stamp sentiment on some gold foiled cardstock with white Hero Arts pigment ink.

Next, I stamped the unicorn and clouds from Sweet Stamp Shop and colored them with my Copic markers. I adhered them to some plastic transparency (or any plastic packaging scrap will do) and glued them to the rainbow so that they seem to be flying through the air :)

Hope you have a MAGICAL week ahead and experience wonderful things.

Let us LOVE one another.

I am using the high heel shoe from the JGW Fashionably French kit. I gave it a makeover and turned it all blue. I also added lots of bling, fancy ribbon and a paper flower.

Hubby says it reminded him of Cinderella's glass slipper! 

All fit for a princess. :)

Happy Monday!

It's Inspiration Time at The Cutting Cafe blog and let's ...

"Shake it ... shake it.. shake it...."

Here's the fishbowl shaker card I made using the Shaker Cards templates.

 The template comes with some underwater elements which I have cut out -- the starfish, seaweed and coral.

I also stamped out Jessica Lynn's Brentwood Owl Lobster Beach and that cute little nemo :)

Then I added some beads for the shaker part and some bling for the fishbowl.

Do check out the other DT ideas on the blog for more inspiration.

It's the weekend! Time to let loose and just RELAX.

It's also time for some Inspiration Time over at The Cutting Cafe blog.

This week the DT team chicks are making projects from the 3 tier cake box. 

This kit has SO MANY possibilities and I've always wanted to make a wedding cake.

Since I cannot bake or decorate one, why not make a PAPER wedding cake instead? :)

I made the 3 tiers with white cardstock and decorated the trims with silver glitter tape. Then I went on a flower frenzy and added all kinds -- sticking to peach, pink and cream colors.

For more inspiration and project ideas on making a 3 tier cake, do visit The Cutting Cafe blog.

Happy Monday to you :)

I am up on the SVG Attic blog, sharing with you a 3d bear shaped box I made using the JGW Beary Sweet kit.

I made this for my baby nephew and thought it would be great not just to put gifts in it but also as his room decor :)

I added some details to the bear --- gave him button eyes and also a pacifier! :)

Here's how the inside of the box look like! There is also an optional gift card piece for you to add on the inside.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a terrific week ahead!

Happy Monday!

I am sharing a fun cute party gift bag I made using the SDS Birthday Bash kit on the SVG Attic blog.

I made this cute bag with the Balloon Spiral Card as a decorative piece on the front. I added a backing piece + a doily and I cut the balloon out with some gold foiled cardstock. Then I finished  it up with some cute pink ribbon -- and ta-da! 

All ready to PAR-TAY!

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome week ahead.

Happy Monday! :)

I'm up on SVG Attic blog and I'd like to share with you a box card I made using Cyndy's first kit "CG Box Cards" -- she designed for SVG Attic. This kit is AMAZING if you've not seen it. So much variety and love every card in the kit.

I chose the Race Box Card which is not only perfect for boys, but BIG boys too (yups, lots of men are in love with cars hehe). I even "stole" my hubby's toys to do my photo op.

I added some Tim Holtz washi tape with the names of places, some arrows and if you are a fan of Initial D, you'd know what 86 means :)

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome week ahead! :)

Happy mid-week!

I have a post over at the SVG Attic blog and I want to share with you my Easter Bunny project I made using the JGW Happy Easter kit.

I made the bunny box and he's holding a few carrots! :)

I used the carrots from the bunny box and also the large Happy Easter basket, and tied them with some Limeade Trendy Twine.

Wishing all of you a Happy & Blessed Easter.
