Friday Five

I'm entering 2 challenges for this card today. At first, I do not really like the card stock that this card is based on, but after adding more embellishments on it, it actually does goes with other things pretty well.


For the 365 cards Friday Five challenge, the requirement is to use only 5 items on the card except the card stock. The 5 items on the cards include:
1. the white circle background with flowers & butterfly stamping
2. the pinkish flower shape under #1
3. ribbon
4. green paper
5. "Birthday wishes"

For the clean and simple challenge, this is the sketch.

Another christmas card

Another Christmas card that is inspired by the 2 sketches for you challenge:

Martha Stewart stamp set again

I'm still playing with the new Martha Stewart stamp set (yes... like it very much). And today's 365 cards challenge is to use a technique that I do not use often. I'm not sure if it counts... I think I've never used stamping to be the only thing in my card, but it turns out pretty good IMHO.



Hope you like it.

Card Pattern Challenge

The color blue seems to be my favorite color these days. I created another birthday card, again, no specific recipient at this point. I'm inspired by the Card patterns challenge.

Gold, Leaf and Ribbon

I'm making a card based on the 365 cards challenge: Gold, Leaf and Ribbon.
To be honest, I like the layout of the elements in the card, but not very happy the output. I tried to use colored paper for the ornaments, it didn't turn out well either. oh well...

Gold: strings hanging the ornaments, and the not-so-visible golden leaf at the bottom
Leaf: the leaf next to the "season's greetings" word at the bottom (yes.. another reason I don't like this card so much. :P )
Ribbon: at the top of the card

Merry Christmas in Oct

From reading different blogs, it looks like people start making Christmas cards. I think it's time for me to make some too. :-)

I'm inspired by the Clean & Simple Challenge:


I wish to use my better camera to take pictures.. but kinda lazy these days. :)

Martha Stewart stamp set

So happy to get the Martha Stewart stamp set recently. In fact, everything from Martha Stewart seems prettier. :) sorry about the bias. :)

Anyway, making use of the new stamp set, I made a birthday card and entered the Crazy 4 Challenges .The challenge is to create a birthday card. I don't have anyone to give in mind, but anyway, this is my card:


With the MS stamp set, I put the gold glitter on the sides with the red background card stock.

2 challenges in a card

I'm entering 2 challenges:
1) 365 cards challenge - Making the Most of it
i.e. to use 3 patterned paper from the same line. which is not too hard for me to do, because of my limited amount of card stock. :)

2) clean and simple challenge



Here is my card:
