Simplicity=p

It was Ina's birthday last week. I only remember it at last minute when she asked me out for dinner (yummy chicken chop=p). So this was kind of last minute card too. Hehe. I want it to be simple yet sweet. So, what else would be sweeter than flowers?=)

I used shimmery white stock card. Then I pasted colourful punched flowers in my fav hue. Hehe. On each flower, I dotted silver glitter glue in the middle.

Inside, I inserted soft pink paper for writing my personal wish. And I must say that the combination of the inside paper and the colourful flowers outside looks so sweet=)

Here's the card attached to the present. Err, and yeah, I used the leftover of the same wrapper in the previous gift card post=p Well, I like it and I don't like to waste good things. Hehe.

With all my heart~

Here's another card themed love! A favourite theme in the world I must say. Hehe. This card was ordered by a colleague who wants to give it to her husband. Not for Valentine day, mind you. Just as a pleasant surprise for someone she love=) As you can see, the card is full with red and pink colour. The wordings is made from twisted paper in pink. I even sew beads (me obsessing with beads=p) scattered on the card. Love the end result, sparkly with lots of love and someone who's already got the sneak peek loved it too. Wee~ (^_^)

And I just LOVE the big love which is cut out using foam in red and then I pasted small love one by one on top of it. It was fun to do too! =)

Inside I pasted a reaaally big red heart as requested. She wants to write her love message inside it. Uuuu...Hehe.

Finally, this is the card in it's transparent handmade envelope. I even added a decorated piece of beige paper on the envelope for her to write her hubby's name=)

Beads and flower

Tadaa! My next attempt with beads. Hehe. Ever since the first one, I really am excited to use more beads in my card. There's still so much more to explore=) This is yet another small gift card. Here I used shimmery gold yellow card with red and black beads. In the shape of flower. Two flower as a symbol of togetherness. Handsewn, of course. Hehe.

So I decided to use the card for Sya's wedding gift that I went to last saturday in Alor Setar (the new spelling enforced by Kedah's MB. Hehe) The wish 'Selamat pengantin baru' (@ congratulation to the newly weds) was simply handwritten. But of course the card can also be use for any other occasion, not just weddings. I'll simply write another wish.

The card looks nice attached to the present. Hope you like it Sya! And may both of you live happily ever after=)

Nice and small

I suddenly had this gazillion ideas with beads during a visit to an old bazar which is famous at my hometown. This one particular shop has a vast choice of beads and buttons which makes my head spinning with ideas and I had to stop myself from buying the whole lot of them. Hehe. So I got myself a packet of pale gold, dark grey and pearl white. I'm planning to buy the deep red colour this evening to use in a new card ordered by my regular customer=)

This time I'm making 10.4x7.4 card which is suitable as a gift card to attach on presents, wedding gifts, flower bouquets and such.

This is the first design. Quite simple as I'm still experimenting. I'm using patterned paper (Egyptian) and the pale gold and pearl white beads. The beads were hand sewn and it's like an addiction to sew them. I did it in just 5 minutes!=p

Here comes the second design and this time I arranged them in a cluster of four. I think this design looks much more elegant than the first one. This one took ten minutes=p

I used the card on a wedding gift to a friend's wedding recently. Inside I pasted beige colour paper for writing personal wish. Doesn't it look nice? =)
