Simply red =)




A simply red birthday card that I made for my younger sister=) Red is her fav colour by the way. And there's also the picture of the card with her birthday present. Hehe.














For the wordings, I used the cool material, foam in red colour. What I really love about the foam is that it's flexible and I can twist and turn it while cutting out the alphabets without leaving marks. Especially when normally I didn't draw the words first if it's really small because it would be really hard to follow the line. I simply cut it with the shape figured in my head.













Inside I inserted a beige soft paper for writing my personal wish. And again I'm using a transparent handmade envelope. Happy birthday Uda! (^_^)

Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.
~Franz Joseph von Munch-Bellinghausen


Hmm..sweet words. Meaningfull eh? Hehe. With so many wedding taking place, I'm in such a romantic mood=p This is yet another design of wedding card that I made for my fellow friends. The cards are the same except for the theme colour. The blue card was given to Mariyatul as she really loves the colour blue (how delighted she was when she received the card! ~o^_^o~ ). While the sweet pink one was given to Suraya as it really suits the petite and cute girl she is=)


The cards were done in a hurry so they might looked kind of bare. I simply punched flower shape on the front cover to expose the colour of the paper inserted inside. Just a simple trick to make your card more interesting=p The wordings were computer generated and pasted double layer on white patterned paper and shining kind of knead paper. But what I really like is the butterflies which I had to sew on the card. They looked really sweet..two hearts, two souls=p Wish I'd done more with the stalk though. Hehe.

And so this is how the cards looked like in their sweet transparent handmade envelope=)

Thank you En. Ali!=)

Finally found the time to post this! Been traveling during the weekend. Hehe. This is a thank you card I made recently for our clinic's PPK who got transferred. I got the idea of drawing glittery eye on the front card from a long long ago dinner programme/address book that I'm entrusted to make for my senior's final year dinner. Last time it was in purple. But to make this card more presentable for a male receiver, I chose blue (still prefer purple though=p)

The card I used is actually embossed with rose flowers. Sweet huh?=) I have it in a few other colors which I hope to explore with other design.

Here I used my new stamping equipment to stamp the letters on white shimmery stock card before pasting it on cut-out silver paper. They were then pasted one by one on the soft beige paper I inserted inside. Notice you can see the glittery eye from inside? That's because they were hand drawn on transparent paper and I cut out the centre of the card. Hehe.

So this is how the card looks like in it's transparent hand-made envelope. Hope En. Ali won't find it too girly=p

A serious birthday wish=p

Hmm..I rarely design card for men so it's quite a challenge. Of course I like to embellish my cards with flowers, ribbons and girly colours. But men's card has always been neat and simple with straight design. This one is for a customer's husband whom I've met several times. Hopefully it suits the serious guy he is. Hehe.

This card came with a transparent handmade envelope. The wordings are simply computer generated and pasted one by one on shimmery off-white card. Then I used black foam for the stripes. But I really like the present box which I draw on silver paper and adorn with silver glue. Notice how it looks elevated? That's because I paste it on a bit of foam before sticking it to the card=)

Inside, I inserted a soft white paper for her to write personal wish. And I decided to add double-layered heart at the corner for her as a symbol of love. She's giving it to her husband after all. Heee~

happy birthday adik!

I just finished this yesterday. My customer requested a birthday card for her younger sister and she was very specific. She wanted a combination of purple and pink as the front cover. She also didn't want typical straight line on the card so luckily I have this new craft scissors which I've been meaning to use =)


This time I used colored foam for the wording. It's not easy to cut the small letters but with great effort comes great reward. Hehe. I really love how they turn out to be! Then I simply decorate the card with punched flowers dotted with silver glue in the middle.

Inside, I inserted a soft pink paper for her to write personal wish. My customer also requested a big heart shape at the corner of the card inside. So I put two hearts layered with colors to match the front cover which looks so sweet=)

This is how it looks like in it's sweet purple transparent handmade envelope. My customer really love the card! And so do I. One of my fav so far ~o(^_^)o~

Simple yet elegant wish~

Another wedding card with the wish 'Selamat Pengantin Baru' in front. This is a really simple design yet I think it looks really sweet=) Still using the shimmery white card and at first I thought of lots and lots of heart in gold. But then I found this really nice blue knead paper which looks really good on the white card. So I decided to give it a try and I really like the end result. The edges are crinkle cut and it was really fun punching and pasting the blue hearts. Did it while watching Amazing Race. Haha=p

The card came with a transparent handmade envelope and I put a blue heart at the back of the envelope too. Heee~
This is how it'll look like in the envelope and I think I shall try with different colour for the hearts as I really like this design=)

Wedding bells!=)

It's school holiday. Yey for the kids! Hehe. School holiday means it's the wedding season too. Ooh, lots of love everywhere=) What better way to congratulate the newly weds than with special handmade wedding card. This is the first one I made this year. I'm still using the shimmery card with a touch of gold ribbon.

I really love the gold and silver heart, carefully drawn and cut. I chained it to each other as a symbol of union. See how they sparkle when they catch the light=) The wordings are written down by hand using a special gold ink pen. And also there's two small heart attached to the ribbon. Not forgetting on the envelope too. Hmm, sparkle everywhere=p

I also wrote the inscription inside, paste on a layer of silver paper, crinkle cut edges and added with small hearts too.

The card came with a transparent handmade envelope and this is how it'll look like. I think I'll give it to a friend whose due to wed next week!=)

For him and for her

I love this card! Especially because of the colors. It's really a very simple design but so fun to do. And I found this new material, colored foam which is so cool. It makes the simple design looks great. Hehe. This is also the first time I used craft beads on my card. A bit costly though. But doesn't the jelly letters look sweet?~(^_^)~

As you can see, they come in two colors. One for him and one for her. A simple way to convey your message to someone special=p
The card I used is kind of shimmery and it's really beautiful but maybe it's not that obvious in the picts.
Here is the inside of the card and I draw the letters on the foam and cut it out one by one. The small loves are also hand drawn and cut out with plain scissors since the foam material cannot fit in the craft punch. Quite a work but it's really worth it. Hehe.

The card 'for her' came with a sweet pink transparent handmade envelope=)
Below is the 'for him' version. All the same except the theme color is blue.

This is how the card will look like in it's transparent handmade envelope. Hope you like them as much as I do!=)
