Happy Mid Week! :)

It's all about Dear Lizzy today and I thought why not make some cards and just have fun right?

Here are some that I made! :)

I used some die cuts and papers from the Lucky Charm collection to make this card, along with some glittered enamel dots from Freckled Fawn.

Next is one of my favorite collections - the Day Dreamer!

I got some of my Project Life cards from this collection to make this card. :)

And finally, from her new line - Fine & Dandy! LOVE this collection coz it's just fun colors, flamingos and oh so cute.

I added lots of layers of papers and a gold bow from Freckled Fawn.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Wishing you have an awesome week ahead. :)

Happy Monday to you :)

Today, for my DT post over at the SVG Attic blog -- I made this cute gift box for my 1-month old niece Chloe to put her gift in. This box is actually a pie box from the Holly's Holiday Gift boxes kit. Who said pie boxes are meant for pies only? :)

From the side, the box has scallop edges which gives a perfect touch to make it even cuter!

I also made a onesies banner on the box to spell out her name using the Baby Girl kit which I use some Trendy Twine to string them up and some bling!

Hope Baby Chloe likes her gift (and the gift box!) 

I will be showing a close-up on the cute card inside the box in my next post! :)

Happy weekend! :)

It's Inspiration Time at The Cutting Cafe blog and we are going all out with milk carton sets! 

I used the milk carton with the circle window from the Assorted Shaped Milk Carton kit and just decorated it with lots of washi and butterflies! The loopy bow is from the Loopy Loopy bow flower kit.

Here's a better view of my stickled butterflies fluttering around :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend! :)

The weekend is almost here and it's my 500th post !!

So I thought, let's have FUN and make something COLORFUL!

Since I've not done a layout for some time, here's one with a quick & fun technique on how you can make your very own DIY Customized colorful embossing paste!

I did the embossed stencil background with a Dear Lizzy 12x12 stencil, lots of Distress Inks & Golden Molding Paste.

Here's the quick insta slideshow I did for you :)

Surprise surprise --- no talking from me this time! Haha.

After I was done with the background, I added a (rare) photo of us and filled it up with some Dear Lizzy project life cards and embellishments!

Hope you've enjoyed today's fun & quick tip video.

Have fun with the embossing paste!!

Here are the cards and tag I made for this hop!

This first card I made using the popular Kuretake Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. My hubby got some for me as my EARLY Birthday present (my birthday is not till October) and I am loving them!!

Don't you think this tree is so darling with all the beautiful words on it's branches?

Next up, a Merry & Bright card I made using some Golden QoR watercolors! 

If you like high-pigmented good quality watercolor, you should try these out.

I found these cute star stickers which I thought was perfect to add the right amount of bling on the card :)

And finally, I made a tag, that would go great on a Christmas gift. 

Here I used Ranger Tim Holtz's Distress Glitter in Festive berries, because it is FESTIVE right? :)

I colored the rest of the stamped image with my Copic markers.
