Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Pop Up Card - Birthday party theme

I absolutely adore this pop-up box card die. It is so much fun and there’s so many scenes you can create with it. I did a simple birthday theme for my first attempt using this die and I know I will use this die again many times in future. 

Heart border die

Doesn’t this border die look absolutely lovely. This is the Memory Box Cherish Border die.

Border stamp & Heat Embossing

I am a big fan of heat embossing! It did take me a while to get a heat gun and it’s not even a craft heat gun. I couldn’t find one locally within a reasonable price. While searching online, someone said they used a DIY heat tool for their art project and it worked well so I finally got a DIY heatgun.

All About Food

We all love food, right? Whether they are healthy or sinful option, there’s something for everybody.  Who can resist a card filled with all sorts of foods! 

I made this card for a friend who really enjoys food, be it cooking, eating or even critique about it.

I looked through all my stamps and took out all those with food images. There were images from a variety of companies on this card; Sweet Stamp Shop Fruity, Bacon Break, Just Icons, Fall into Christmas (discontinued), Mama Elephant Lunar Extras, Lawn Fawn Just for You and MFTStamps Mon Cherie. 

The images were then coloured with glitter gel pens to give it shine and interest. The sentiment strip was cut from white card stock and stamp with a sentiment from MFT Beary HappyBirthday.

This card was easy to pull together and made use of small images that you have in your stash. Hope this card inspires you to use some of the less used stamps you have.

The Greeting Farm Little Mermaids

These little mermaids from The Greeting Farm was so, sooo cute I can’t believe it took me so long to play with them. I finally got round to colouring them last September and made 3 cards with them last month. Yes, I am a very slow card maker. I have a demanding day job so I craft whenever I have the energy and time.

Hello and welcome! Hope you had a great week.  Today, I am sharing some cards I made for Chinese New Year (CNY) and some lucky envelopes.  It’s tradition to give lucky envelopes/ red packets to your juniors or even your elders during CNY for good luck.

Rainbow series 4 - cut out shaker card

Hi there!  I hope you are enjoying my series of posts on using scraps useful. As crafters, we not only generate a lot of scraps, we also had rejects or cards that we messed up. Today I am sharing how I messed up a card I was working on and what I did to make the most out of it. I try not to discard things without knowing I had done what I could to salvage it.
