I can’t help but making another award banner for this card for Father’s Day. 
It’s a smaller embellishment compared to the first one that I have made. This beauty is created using several die cuts & stamp set from 100 proofpress – #5426 P crown and mustache; My Stamp box – Birthday Number, Papertreyink – star print & pretty ponies sentiment.
This card is echo park – The portrait. As for the banner hanging, I have hand -cut it myself. What do you think of this banner?
This is the side view of the card. I love making my own embellishment which you can co-ordinate with the card on hand.
Have a great weekend.
If you are interested to purchase Father’s Day card, you can find them here at etsy or luulla.
Thanks for looking.

I thought I need to put some structured into my life At least it pushes me to create things everyday. Every Tuesday I will create some handmade embellishment for sale on my etsy. Be it stamping or creating tags, flowers so that you readers can purchase it for card making or scrapbooking purpose.
I created these some time ago – teapot embellishment which I find it cute.
These are the teapots which are on sale in etsy and luulla where you can put them on a card/ invitation/ scrapbooking etc.
These are the teacups which co-ordinate with the teapot above. Isn’t it cute? I have personally handmade these. Those little teapot tags can be removed and hang onto the teapot if you like. For those who are interested, do let me know the color you wanted for your project.
You can purchase them here in etsy or luulla. See you next Tuesday for more embellishment on sale!
Thanks for looking.
Have a wonderful day ahead.

Another sketch for YOU! It’s time for Inspired Blueprint’s sketch #54, I really like this week sketch to incorporate buttons my fav and bird! Come join us with attractive prizes for you!
As I really like swirl flower that I made, I decided to use it on the tree that I am going to create! Green swirl to make up the tree What do you think? I like color combo that I used too – brown, yellow and green. And I string a couple of different color buttons together and add them to the side. In addition, I add a black bird rub-on from Maya road and stamp some clouds and add a ribbon. Lastly heat embossed my card title with white embossing powder. For the next card: – Wish Big -
This Smile card – I used the entire collection from Sassafrass – Indie Girl - I really love their collection Instead of hoarding, I have decided to put it to used to create a card. First I used a aqua mist cardstock, add the pattern paper and did a plait of a strip of cardstock and adhere it down and tied a twine across it. I love martha stewart punch as well esp. the butterflies 3in1 and started punching and layer them up and put a pearl on top. As you know I can’t live w/o hand-made flower, I did a glittering one and stamped on polka dot on my PTI’s die flower 2 to create and add 2 leave behind. To finish the card, I glue dot each co-ordinating color button to the pattern paper
Hope you like what I shared with you.
Love,
Gladys

Do you know that there is a local brand carrying scrapbooking products? Paper, stickers, chipboard, die cut and lots more…. Its KCK! Its a Singapore based product and have a wide range of product! You can check them out here. I just go to know it recently from Sandy who is in the designer Team. I am so happy and honoured to be able to participate in their challenge! I was asked to guest design for them
Here is what I have created with their products:
A Happy Birthday card using KCK epoxy stickers - isn’t it the cutest and colourful stickers seen? To make it more fun, I have punch out several apple punch from Martha Stewart and stick the stickers on it to form the word ” Happy Birthday”. I also used a monster sticker from Hello Jack! from Cosmo Cricket and make it as if its holding the apple up. I self-cut the yellow felt and punch out starburst from hawaiian cardstock and stamp my sentiment. To finish off the card, I add a banner.
Next card, it’s a very simple and easy to do card. I love the simplicity where the KCK floral gem brad stands out. It’s a very simple technique – I embossed the front of the card with impression plate. Afterwhich I die-cut three different sized flower onto a white card stock. Adhere using 3d foam dot, add the brads. Lastly stamped on sentiment.
Hope you like what I shared with you. Please visit KCK blog at Krafers’ paradise for more information and leave a comments for S$10 KCK product voucher!

Hello it’s Wednesday again for Practical Scrappers Challenge this week – is to use RIBBONS!!!! How can a card be without ribbon? I believe its one of the favourite embellishment a scrapper can incorporate in her Layout or card or even project. It just complete them right? I love ribbon! Different types and colours! Okay onto today’s card – Miss you!
I am using Robyn’s Fetish Digital Stamps . Printing the digital image out with white cardstock, colored it with my prisma color pencil and used my odourless thinner to blend the color together. I am still practising my coloring skill 
Wonder if you have any tutorial to share with me? Its will be great! I love the coloring effect it gave to the image Next I stamped my windows and a picture wall on to the card front. Since this week challenge is to use ribbon. I will used it as my curtain and tied a twine to it. Does it look as if it’s very windy effect? I also stamped a cat at the window too. And capped the window with a white felt to complete my window image. And lastly stamped onto my sentiment ” Miss You”.
Come and have fun with us to create a card or Layout using Ribbons!
Have a good day ahead.
Love,

Here is my card -” Best Wishes”:
You will be seeing me using alot of Cosmo Cricket – Pixie-Licious from me!!! I just cannot get enough of this paper!! It’s so beautiful!! :O First I embossed my card stock with In Bloom impression plate, I started punching alot of 1″inch circle from the different pattern from the series. Then I used one of the pattern with the flower head with smile in each of the flowers. I am loving that piece – it’s so cute and start punching 1/2″ inch circle to get the smile out of the flowers. Adhere them with EK Success Epoxy stickers. I am really having fun with them!
One trick on the ribbon – I cut a slit first on the pattern paper before i tied my ribbon and adhere to the card stock. Lastly, stamped my sentiment.

Hello ! This week sketch for Skipping Stone Design SSD#43 , we are introducing a Halloweenie set! Are you excited that Halloween is approaching soon! I can’t believe how time flies! Here is the full details on how the set look like:
Here is my card using this set :
I have never made a halloween card and this is my first!! I am so excited to use SSD’s halloween set! What i love about this set is that you can have all the images and background stamp to create a card or layout. About my card for the background, I stamped the wording repeated throughout the vintage cream cardstock. Do you notice that its a one-layer card! Its very simple and easy to make! Next I stamped the four corners of the card with circle image. Then I start to hand-draw the cob-web with ruler and black pen, then stamped the spiders images! So cute! And also stamped the sentiments ” Creeping by to say hi”
Next I stamped the ghost image and hand cut it out. Add some adhesive and pour glitters onto it! Can you see how shinning and glittering is the ghost? I love it! And I stamped versamark onto the black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder to create the hat for the ghost! I have fun using almost all the stamps for this Hallowwenie set!
Lastly I stamped the sentiments ” Happy Halloween” to finish up the card! Hope you like what I have shared with you!

Today is a very special day!
World Card Making Day was founded by Paper Crafts Magazine in 2006 as a way to unite card makers and give them a kick start to their holiday card making. Today, card making is a hobby recognized all over the world and statistically 92% of paper crafters create cards more than any other project.
Here is my card , using Skipping Stone Design’s Timeless Texture background stamp! I stamp with versamark onto plum pudding cardstock and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Afterwhich I used the white Opal liquid pearls to add some interest to the design. It appears to be a perfect pattern paper right? That’s why I love stamping to create different color background and pattern with cardstock!
To celebrate this fun holiday, the SSD DT is doing a fun blog hop! Come take a ride with us and then spend your day making cards!

I stamped the background first with versamark and then stamped 3 spiders and sew a black floss thread as if the spiders are hanging on the thread. Then I stamped the wording and lastly put glittering around the oval. I have also used the black floss to go around the oval shape.
For the bottom, I stamped on the decorative stamp all around and used pop dot on all the corns candy. Lastly I used glossy accent on them.

Here is my card: Your couch or mine? Tough guy!
My card is a mixed in between girly and guy card! I realised it’s so hard for me to do a nice male card haha . What do you think? This color combo is a mixture of white, black and red! First I embossed my red poppy cardstock with plaits impression plate. In order to have its show true its impression and also I do not want the red to be so red. I decided to use my gesso and paint the edges. Next I embossed a vintage cream cardstock with Polka dot impression plate and stamp the grunge background stamp with black ink. Can you see the embossed polka dot? For my focal image, I stamped a red couch and cut a cushion out using the lacey circle spellbinders. Isnt that so cute! I love the couch from papertreyink!!

Hello everyone… Today i have done up another card which is inspired by Kristina Werner in A Year in Cards – November 2010 for 2 peas in a bucket on how to stretch your stamp set and used it in a different way. Oh I love her cards and video! As for this challenge, it made me think of how many stamp sets I bought and I only once or twice before new stamp arrived Think we are all guilty of this action! So the resolution is to make sure the stamp i have can be used over and over again or used it in a different manner.
And as for my color, I have used Mona’s cupcake creation color challenge on pretty purple hues: I am in love with these colors:
As for my card “You’re Snow Wonderful”, using kraft cardstock as my base.The stamp set has just released from Skipping Stone Design called Sassy Snow. I stamped the snowman randomly using dark and light purple as a background. And the bird using grey. I also stamped on the snow using white and liquid pearls in the center. Using polka dot pattern paper, I have border punch the darker purple and adhere the cardstock and follow by a lighter one. I tied my bowed and I have also embossed the sentiments on my ribbons using silver embossing powder. Lastly topped up with a star shape , twine and buttons to finish off the card.
Here is an up close on how the embossing on ribbon will look like. It’s my first time embossing on ribbon! What do you think?
Thanks for looking.
Love,
Gladys

Hmmm I dun have any that catch my eyes but its Moxie Fab link to this Moroccan Tea Glass Candles – its so colorful and embossed gold . They are so pretty. Using the color and technique.
Not sure why the gold in the photo didnt turn bright and shiny. But its look so much better when I look at it. This card is full of embossing of white and gold embossing powder. First I dry embossing my card front with polka dot impression plate then used my background stamp with versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. It look as if its snowing .
Next for my focal point, I have used waltzingmouse stamp holiday label no.14 – stamp the border on raspberry fizz and heat embossed with gold embossing powder and the smaller one with enchanted evening and did the same. Love how gold show up on paper. As for the snowman, I used kraft and heat embossed with white embossing powder and used distressed ink to give a brown leather look to it.

I did an accordian fold flower and punch a circle and heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder. I have also hand cut 3 little sockings and tied it at the side so cute!!! And lastly added a scallop punch pattern paper at the bottom to finish off the Christmas card.
Next card “Winter Wishes”, I love stamping snow flakes onto the background with versamark. It added some interest to the plain cardstock. I have used yellow here. Love the bright yellow color! Next I hand cut white felt as snow and die-cut white Christmas tree. I decorated my white christmas tree with some red twine and shimmer buttons. Next to the tree, I stamp the snowman and color them with copics markers.

Here is my card” There’s nothing better than a true friend!” I have used the in bloom papertreyink impression plate to emboss my card front. Love the details on the cards. I have die cut several flowers from the in bloom set from pattern paper from cosmo cricket -pixie-licious. Then stamp on versamark and pour silver embossing power and heat set it. The color combo is drawn from my play date cafe here. Lastly stamped my sentiment with white fresh snow ink.

Hello sweet blog friends, it’s Tuesday again!! I am here to show you another card made for Skipping Stone Design using the new release stamp set called Birthday purse set. It’s so stinking cute!! I LOVE LOVE this stamp set! I really have so much fun playing with this set. This week’s sketch is from Amy Sheffer as our Guest Sketch Artist for the month of January:
And the color combo is from color Q here. As you know I love colors a lot and based on it for my inspirational. If you know of any website colors challenges, do let me know. I would love to join . Thanks!
Ok. Back to my card – “Birthdays are like purses”, as I said that I really enjoy embellishing my purses on the cards. Can you see each different purse? First I stamp my images onto white cardstock using memento ink. Coloring them using my copics markers. And start my favourite part which is to add pearls, flowers, buttons, rhinestone and I have tied a plait with orange twine attached to the bucket purse with colorful stripes! It’s so so fun!!! So which purses do you like most?
This card base is using Raspberry Fizz which is a shocking pink and I have stamped the various purse stamp as my background pattern. Next I tied an orange ribbon at the side with a stripe pink orange stripe. I love how cheerful this card is. Another detail which I used a clear button and paste the coordinating pattern paper to it and tied an orange twine to it.
Hope you like this card and let me know what you think?
Enjoy your Tuesday!
Love,
Gladys

Hello… Sweet blog friend… the week just passed by so fast!! It’s friday again for another Get Sketch #71. Here is the sketch:
Can you see my focal image stamp? So so cute! Love it. It’s sponsored by the Pink Cat Studio!! How generous! Look out at their website for more digital images. They are all so so CUTE!! I have fun coloring them using copics markers. I am still practicing my coloring. Not really good at it! I will keep trying and have fun with it! I die cut the shape from spellbinder, stamped my background with hero art clouds background stamp and then impressed it with sunshine papertrey impression plate. I have pop up some of its hats and nose of the owl. Die-cut the tag and hand written the sentiment ” Happy Chinese New Year” and tie to the hand of the owl. Isn’t it so cute?
Since Chinese New Year is around the corner in next 2 weeks, I thought I will share on the blog what’s Chinese New Year meant for Asian in Asia. Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year is the most important event in the social calendar of ethnic Chinese around the world. It’s usually fall in Jan or Feb. Each year is represented by one of the 12 zodiac animals. 2008 is year of the Rat, the start of a 12 year cycle. 2009 is the year of the ox. 2011 is the year of Rabbit.
The Chinese New Year celebration last for 15 days but in most countries, the first and usually the second day of Chinese New Year is designated as public holidays.
The major celebrations during the Chinese New Year are New Year eve reunion dinner 除夕团年饭, visiting on New Year’s Day 拜年and the yuanxiao 元宵the 15th day and the last day of the new year.The Chinese New Year celebration is a colorful, symbolic and joyous time for gathering, visiting friends and families.
I will be back tomorrow to share more about Chinese New Year and share with you some Chinese New Year tags which I have made for a customer.
Thanks for looking.
Love,
Gladys

Hello all, thank you for your sweet comments ladies. I have got this sweet customer asking me to customise some Chinese New Year tags for her. It got me thinking how to incorporate this USA scrapbooking materials into something Chinese for her. Here I am presenting you these Chinese New Year tags which has ‘Fu’ word on each of them. I have gotten the paper from KCK – Glittering Glamour. Love the Chinese paper which is so appropriate for this event ‘Fu’ means that Fortune or wealth.
As you know, Chinese New Year (also called the Spring Festival) doesn’t begin and end on a single weekend. Instead, it runs from the middle of the last month of the previous year (based on the Chinese calendar) to the middle of the first month of the new year. By the time the New Year arrives, families have already spent several days preparing for the big event; cleaning the house, buying gifts, and cooking festive foods.
Here are some of the ways you can celebrate Chinese New Year (the New Year begins on February 3rd in 2011. It is the Year of the Rabbit):
Thanks for looking
Have a good weekend.
Love,
Gladys

How fun is this card? This is my first card ” xoxo” created for valentine day. I started with my plum pudding purple cardstock and started die cut a lot of scallop strip from vintage cream cardstock. Then I started my stamping on each of the scallop piece and place them together . Oh how I love seeing it place on top of each other. It’s so pretty isn’t it? As for my focal image, it’s from one of the tags which I have made here. Tied a purple ribbon across and add yellow thickers to it! The color scheme is from Mona’s cupcake challenge here.
Onto my next card, it’s inspired by the Moxie Fab challenge on Tuesday Trigger: Winter White. I have never done a white on white card before. It’s getting crazy with my favorite material – Hambly! Love them to bits! I have made several strips of scallop from the silk screen print doily decor from Hambly. And gather them together. I have also made some swirl lace flower and top it up with a rhinestone. Adhere the Say it in crystal swirl. A simple and elegant card for wedding! Love how it turns out!

First I stamp the pumpkin seed stamp with pink and red, i love how it turns out Can you imagine it with different color combo? The possibility is endless!

TGIF!!! It’s time to another Friday Get Sketchy#75. Here is my card for this sketch: “Thinking of you”
This card is very different from the bold, bright, cheerful color. I am going for a more muted color card based on the pattern paper from Basic Grey – Hop scotch. I am in love with that paper but have not yet purchase it. So I decided to use the color as my inspirational challenge to make a card. I used several different circle die cut as you can see – lacey and beaded circle from spellbinder, limitless circle from pti and the free image from pti 4th anniversary. First I impressed my card base with sunshine plate from pti and I have also used liquid pearls to add some interest to the lacey circle
Thanks for looking.
Before I go, I know I have missed my deadline for picking the winner for my blog giveaway for the tags:
The winner goes to : Sasya!!! please email me your address so that I can have it mailed it out to you.
Thank you.

I heard you about wanting a tutorial for the twine bloom flower I have made them in heart shape, another heart shape and bra shape. I will do one up soon promise
Ok back to the card, this card -”Happy Birthday” is made for Make it Monday #2: Vellum sentiment strip – papertreyink
The color scheme is from Mona’s cupcake CR84FN Color challenge here - Teal, yellow and green – Oh well I am late for this challenge as usual 
I have used a Harvest gold cardstock and scored into half. Layered with my favorite Hambly teal high tea screenprint. I loved how it show through the yellow cardstock. So pretty! As for my focal point, you know i am so so into making my own embellishment. I started by die-cut hawaiian shore cardstock with spellbinders and stamp with waltzingmouse stamp with green tea leave versamagic ink. As for the handmade flower, its die cut with limitless circle die from papertrey with simply chartreuse. I have punch out 1.75″ circle with yellow cardstock and start to swirl the yellow twine and next i need a 1″ circle with green twine. I have also die cut some yellow and white tulle. To make the flower, I stack up all these and topped it up with a brad! Can you imagine making different color of the flowers to match your card. Lastly to finish the flower, i used the white leave from prima which i am hoarding. As for vellum strip, I die cut and used the SRM stickers to stick onto my vellum and tuck it under the flower.
Hope you like what i have shared.
Thank you.
Love,
Gladys

It’s time again for another Inspired Blueprint Sketch #66, I am loving this sketch as always. It’s inspired me to create using this sketch.
Here is my card:” Hey There, just a little something” – I decided to up a card based on the color using red, turquoise and brown. A very unusual color but I love how everything blend together. I took a red cardstock as my base. I cut a vintage cream and started my stamping of leaf from papertrey – turning a new leaf and flowers from Beautiful Bloom II. As for my sentiment, I decided to do a heat embossing on my card using black embossing power. Lastly tied my ribbon to finish out the card Love how simple the card is.
Onto my next card, it’s actually another Valentine day card which i created although Valentine day is over:) I love heart shape. This card is for you my blog reader – Happy Belated Valentine day – “My heart is always with you”. I made my focal point first by die cutting heart shape using spellbinders and scallop heart shape using vintage cream. I did some swirl flowers – using sweet blush, berry sorbet and raspberry fizz – all the sweet pinks… So sweet ya? I added some pearls ball which i created using my pearl string and made them into circle shape. As for the middle flower, I used a pearl flower and add it to give some dimension. Lastly added some ribbon at the side of the heart.
Thank you so much for looking.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Gladys

Here is the materials you need: white cardstock, stamps from skipping stone design – Bra volumn #2, Birthday purse, Healing Wings, some twines, Scor-tape, flower and versafine onxy ink.
First you need to stamp images onto white cardstock with versafine ink and cut the image out and stick with scor-tape. If you do not have scor-tape, you can try to use liquid glue or other adhesive. But i find that scor tape is the BEST!! It’s sticky!!! Love it!
Once you have prepare your image, you can start the ‘FUN’ part! It’s playing with your twine! Then you can start your twining… just line the twine against the image up and down as shown in the photo.
As for the bra image, you will need to line the outer area first and continue with one side.
Once you finished one side, you can cut away the twine and start to complete the other side. Once you are done. you have a pretty embellishment for you to start your decoration!
Here is the finished cards which I made! Hope you like what i have shared Thank you!

Happy Easter /Good Friday to you! It feel so good to have a long weekend and squeeze some time for crafting that I love. This card is based on Get Sketchy #84 :
Happy Saturday to all! Thought I will share with you a card that I made for Gel-a-tins using ‘Put a cap on it’ and ‘many thanks’ stamp sets. I got excited when I got this ‘Put a cap on it’ stamp set. I had this idea in mind and started to put my paper crafting into works!!! Can you feel my excitement! Haha..
I stamped those cap stamps with versamark onto several different cardstock using – Aqua mist, orange, Harvest gold and ocean tides from pti. Afterwhich I used 1 3/4″ circle punch to punch the cap out. In order to make the cap ‘pop’, i used this gelly powder cap as a base and place the punch out circle on top of the cap and press down the rest of the flap to create ‘pop’ look. Hope thats make sense As for the sentiment, love this set ‘many thanks’ as there is so many variety of ‘thanks’ in this set that you can choose from.

Hello exactly one year ago today I started to make card for my mom on Mother’s Day! I am so happy to be able to continue to make cards which I love. Here is the card which I made using postmarks and tiny tags from pti :) Oh I love corrguated board from boxes that you received from your postage. It added so much dimension to the card and can recycle
First I die cut the edge of the sweet blush card with pti dollies edge die, isn’s it so pretty! Oh i love that die! And ink the edge with gesso. Once you have corrguated board, you can die cut into any shapes you like. I decided to use the vintage label die from spellbinders and ink the edge with gesso.
As I told you I am so into layering, there are several layers of vintage label stamped with waltzingmouse stamps vintage label 1. And also pti dollies cut using lemon tart cardstock. Punch a 1 3/4″ circle from cosmo cricket material girl. Added a post mark die cut from coasters. Stamped the image with versamagic pixie Dust and versafine satin red. I added some liquid pearls to the image of the protrait. Oh I really love those images! As for the tiny tags I have also used liquid pearl to go round the edge and tied 2 pearls to the twine. Lastly added the white lace across the card.
Thank you so much for looking. And wish everyone a Happy Mother Day 2011. For more Mother’s day card, please hop over to Practical Scrappers for more wonderful ideas from the rest of the team.

Hello … Thanks for all your sweet comments! Here is another card I made for Gel-a-tins using ‘put a cap on it’ and ‘many thanks sentiment’. I am loving those stamp to create pop up flowers.
I am using the may crate color challenge scheme from older crate paper series – lavender, royal blue and sky blue. First I punch the scallop border from fiskars. And die cut using spellbinders and using waltzingmouse co-ordinating stamp set to stamp. And start my layering of lacey circle from pti 1 3/4 scallop circle and stamp with Tag #1 series. To add some interest, I added a small brads from local store KCK. Next I tied some blue tulle and added the circle Thank U to complete the card.

I am excited to let you know that I have been asked by Bettina the owner of My Stamp Box to guest design for them. I am having lots of fun when creating these few cards and project using the Colourful Companions stamp set. I am loving their stamps and you got to check them out with all the wonderful designers that they have. Here is their blog and the products that they have. Do check them out!
As you know i love colors! First I impressed my cardstock with polka dot impression plate from pti. I decided to use a few dollies cut from pti of different color and heat embossed white embossing powder on colored cardstock uisng sweet blush, royal velet, raspberry fizz and berry sorbert. I love how those colors shown through and added a few handmade die cut button to finish off the card.
Next card is Mom. I love the simplicity of this card and it’s easily created. First cut the Hawaiian Shores cardstock from pti and using the edge border die to die cut the edge of the card. Stamped the in bloom stamp set from pti using satin red versafine ink. Next stamp some butterflies from Colourful Companions stamp set from My Stamp Box. Love those butterflies! And top it up some handmade rose ribbon in the middle of the butterflies. Is it cutest?
The third project that I have done is to create some butterflies toothpicks…which you can use for embellishment your card or project. I create one layer or several layers of butterflies and what you can do it to finish up with a pearl, brad or a rolled flowers in the middle. I really adore these butterflies
Finally I have a tutorial which i made a box of specimen butterfly. Step 1: what you need is of course Colourful Companions stamp set from My Stamp Box, a shadow box, pattern paper from cosmo cricket, black onxy versafine ink and a cork sheet to fit your shadow box.
Step 2: Stamp several butterflies onto the different pattern paper .
Step 3: Cut and fit the cork sheet into the shadow box
Step 4: Cut all the butterflies out.
Step 5: Start your decoration with pearl string and butterflies decorated with flower and swirl flowers.
Hope you like what I have shared with you.
I would like to thank you Bettina again for letting me have the opportunity to showcase my art pieces and share my love of creating to the rest of the readers. Thank you and have a great week ahead!

Gladys

Chewing gum, Chilli powder, Seed packet?
Then I create my lovely flower with “Put the cap on it” stamp set. I stamp with versamark and used my scallop circle punch to punch out my flower and topped it up with the pti dollies die.

Hello… It’s Tuesday again and beginning of the month of August! Love this month and more creative works on its way! This is my last month with Skipping Stone Design – I can’t tell you how much I am in love with the stamps! Thank you Heather for the wonderful opportunity! It’s wonderful past year! This month we have the amazing Teri Anderson as our sketch artist! Love her clean style!
Here is the SSD Sketch#87. This card I have used new goodies from Skipping Stone design stamp – Victorian Summer and Gel-a-tins stamp – Sewing kit. Can you see how appropriate this card fit into the sketch? I love experimenting with different set to put them together. I find that’s its a perfect match. Love the big flower image from Victorian Summer.
For this card, I stamp the big flower image from Victorian Summer randomly onto cream vintage card stock using Memento Lulu Lavender. See how soft the image appear!
Next I create some tags using pattern paper from echo paper little girl. Love the purple stripe! Next is the fun part. I love the Sewing kit stamp from Gel-a-tins. You can get various buttons sizes stamps in this set! And the best thing is that you can use your circle punch 1/2″ and 1″ to punch them out. Isn’t it easy? For this card, I stacked them up and topped it off with a rhinestone. Isn’t it so sweet!! I love it. To complete this, I tied them using some burlap purple twine!
To complete the card, i stamped the sentiment -”have a tweet birthday” from a new release stamp set from Skipping Stone Design.

I did some searching on my favorite WASHI TAPE aka Masking tape (MT) from Japan. Love them! Let me show you some finding on them shall we! Let go…..
What is masking tape (mt) and history of them? You can read them here. I find it so interesting to read them and how they bring about.
In 1923, Kamoi Kakoshi started its business by manufacturing flypaper (paper tapes with glue, used to catch flies). The technique for manufacturing flypaper was utilized to start manufacturing masking tapes. Currently, Kamoi manufactures and sells more than 35 types of masking tape, including the mt series, for commercial use. Masking tapes were first produced in the United States in 1925. However, Kamoi is the first one that has used rice paper for masking tapes.
Now, we will show you how the colors and textures of masking tapes are created through this factory tour here.
These masking tape are like rice paper which can be easily tear and used it again and again on anything! Love them.
How about making them into numbers or alphabet on the front of the book here?
Love this idea on the paper clip and you can write label on them! what a cool idea here.
How about decorating those plain tags? So cute right with colorful tape to play with here.
More ideas on using those washi tape by this girl! She has amazing stuff. Love them. You should check her out here.
If you dun have any washi tape or masking tape, you can try to make one yourself here.
Have fun.
Enjoy your Sunday.
Love,
Gladys

Can you tell me what is it?

Thank you Bonnie and Jessica for having me as Gel-a-tins designer and congrats to the new designers onboard. It’s been a wonderful 6 months and I have been enjoying creating with those wonderful stamps! Beautiful stamp set that I was given this month is Hello Stamp set.
This card ” Hello My name is…” Love this big stamp for children whom need to put their name on every single book they have. So cute right? This card is made with that reason behind using the Emma Shoppe Crate paper series – the book paper . I love the border edge die which add such a great accent to the card itself. And love this floral pattern paper! I have stamped the Hello stamp using the woodgrain pattern paper.
I made this flower using the pti bloom builder #3 die. Love love love this die! The flower is just so amazing when layered with a button on top. And added the turning a new leaf die cut from Webster pages.
Don’t forget to visit the rest of the designers and shop for the new stamps at Gel-a-tins here.
Oh we are having the monthly challenge here at Gel-a-tins too to win yourself stamp set.

Another stamp set which I would like to showcase is this little girl! Isn’t her the cutest little thing on earth She is one of 100 proof press stamp called: Little Girl with Teddy Bear! So cute! I decided to paper piece them and pop the teddy bear up. I create a scene using the flowers stamp here: #5418-V Flower Row.
Love the fences die and clouds die from papertrey. It’s also sold in my etsy shop here. I do all kinds of die cutting for you if you want them. Do drop me an email gchia2008@gmail.com It’s not only save you some money to buy other materials you need to create a simple card 
As for the background, I have embossed it with swiss dot embossing folder from cuttle bug. I also punch some butterflies and stamp the sentiment “thinking of you”.
Here is the cute little girl that I colored her face with copics marker with R20 blush and paper piece them up

So darling and sweet doilies edge.

For the next page of the Christmas album, when you flip open. You will actually see the green ribbon tied to the other side. What you need to do it is to cut a paper of pattern paper . Here I used a red one and adhere to cover the ribbon from showing at the other side. I have stamped some journalling lines so that you can write some of your notes in this album too. Is your Christmas tree green? If not there is a white Christmas tree felt in the kit too for you to dress it up and have fun!
To decorate the Christmas tree, I have used buttons and add some circle punch under the red button to add some interest to it. You can use other things like twine, ribbon, rhinestone, pearl string etc… the possibility is endless. And added a ribbon and a rhinestone on top. This complete my Christmas tree. Lastly I added the a label ” Happy Holiday”.
Here is how the binding look like. where you will flip downward will be the cover of your album. And when you flip upward, will be the next page.
If you are interested in this Christmas Kit 2001, you can purchase them here!
Do email me at gchia2008@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Happy Halloween… I don’t usually make Halloween card but i can’t resist how cute the little stamp from 100 proof press – the pumpkin and the scary cat. I look through my stash and found a stamped couch, die cut doily and a 1 3/4″ fluffy circle.
First I hand cut the banner shape using the orange pattern paper (sorry I have forgotten the brand, anyone know can chip in?) Next I die cut the notebook spiral using rustic cream cardstock and start to stamp the rows of cats onto the background. Love them! so cute!!
Afterwhich I start to layer the doily, fluffy circle and the couch die cut, did you see the little pumpkin I stamped them with Jenni bowlin chicken feed ink and hand cut them out. Use them as little pillows for the couch! Isn’t it cute?
Don’t forget to leave some love to the rest of the DT and happy shopping!

Hello… I thought of doing a count-down to Christmas by creating some Christmas card, tags or album everyday… I thought this will be interesting to create something related to Christmas. It will be fun! Stay tune…. Do let me know if you are interested to join in
For today’s card – I thought I used a stamp set from papertreyink – Homemade from year 2010. This is the first set that I fall in love with and start purchasing from them. I have only created a house which I made for a colleague as a house-warming gift. I thought it will be fun to used for a Christmas card too Love the windows and doors!
I started off a dark chocolate cardstock 5 x 5 and cut a arrow head as the house top. Then I started to paste a pattern paper on top and cut the shape out. Then I stamped the window onto pattern paper and cut them out! Love the window where you could flip it out. And also stamped the door and cut the four rectangular out and paste with red pattern paper.
I have a strip of scallop border and added some glitter on top. Love the effect on it. To make the house a little more realistic, I have stamped versamark onto the dark chocolate cardstock. Isn’t it so pretty to make a house card?

I thought i need some inspirational quote to cheer myself up and want to share them with you here in my blog. Love this quote: I need to remind myself that there is something good to celebrate everyday even a small simple thing. To be appreciative of things which we sometimes take for granted.
Love this quote “Yes You Can”! and isn’t that so pretty floral words? Love floral print Made me motivated to move on
I love love love this type face and font and the color scheme! Beautiful!
I like this quote – ” If it makes you happy. DO IT. If it doesn’t. Then DON’T.
This is not a quote… but i find it so interesting to read and find that alot of these life little instructions are worth to do which I have taken granted for.
Last but not least Stay hungry and stay foolish by Steve Job from this source.

For this card, I decided to die cut the word ‘Peace’ from white cardstock. And then layered them with limitless layer scallop circle and 1 3/4 circle punch from pattern paper from crate paper: peppermint.
Here is the card which I used the green satin ribbon to tie it around the pattern paper as if its a present. Love the effect of this card.

Hello another heartshape creation from me! I love heartshape especially during Valentine day! I started by die cutting a spellbinder heart die from several pattern papers using the largest heartshape that I have on hand with the scallop heartshape die cut.
This is used by scraps that I have. I have randomly die cut and layer the normal heartshape with the scallop ones alternating one another. In total there are 8 layers of them. And lastly glue a mulberry flower in the middle.
As I mention this card is a heartshape card, it can be open up and write your wordings inside. It can also be customised and let me know what wordings do you want inside the card. For the above card, its stamped “Happy Valentine day”.
This is another layered card using Echo paper – Yours truly. Love the pink, black, grey and red combo. Is’t it sweet ! I love all the layers of different pattern paper!
For this card, It’s open up vertically and it’s stamped with “Love you forever”.
Lastly this layered heartshape card is made of both black cardstock and red pattern paper from yours truly. The pattern paper stand out from the black cardstock. Love this combination as well!
What about you? Which one do you like most?

Here is the second minis: Using the scallop circle using black. I added circle using pattern paper and die cut a medium and small heartshape.
The #3 minis is so sweet. I love the Echo park – yours truly pattern paper using circle as background. For this is the same pattern as the first. But the color scheme using light pink for scallop.
The fourth minis I change the shape from circle to heart shape.
Here to the fifth one: Love the red pokka dot pattern paper as a base and die cut the scallop using black cardstock. Die cut the circle using line pattern paper and a medium and small heart shape.
Lastly the sixth one: Using black and white pattern paper! Love the red scallop against the black. It’s so striking color. Love it.
As the pattern paper is double sided, you can see the inside of the card here. It has a slit under the scallop circle to secure it close so that it can be flipped open.
Here is what the inside look like where you can write your wordings. And flipped it close after you are done.

I have some fun stamping the background with Bingo stamp. Love the effect on the cardstock as I have die cut using the vintage label spellbinder die and then impressed it with Mehndi Medallion from papertey ink.
For my card base, I used berry sorbet and die cut the edge with doily edger die from papertrey ink. Then use gesso to paint it to give a rustic look to it. I have layered several vintage label using pattern paper from crate paper – Paper Heart. And stamped with Waltzingmouse Vintage Label 1 & Papertrey ink stamp.
As for the cage, I stamped and cut it out and tied it to the circle border created from 2 circle spellbinders.
Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone! Thanks for those reading my blog and came to know me through facebook – mypapercrafting. I spend sometime revisiting my art and crafts – thinking what’s my style is….
Here are the things:
I need to find out more of what i love doing And I shall concentrate on those that make me happy. What about you?
I am so happy that I got new stamps to play with! It took a long way to get those stamps into my hands. I love this cute little bunnies which I stamp using papertrey called Scramble eggs. It’s so so cute with the ears. Today technique is to emboss the fillable frame onto the pattern paper 3 times. Can you see the embossed portion? And stamped the frame onto each with versamagic pixie dust.
I started with my embellishment first using the die cut and start those stamping of the bunnies. I decorate each one with a little flower on its head. Look how sweet is it? Heart!

I recently found out through pinterest that my heartshape swirl flower card is being copy and shared through this website. I am not angry but happy to share my work for people to re-create and make their own. But to use my photo and did not credit the source where they found it from is something that quite disturb me. I believe to credit a source which i took the photo or inspiration source from. I do not own this technique and everyone is able to make their own.
Have fun creating this technique. I also have a step by step tutorial by me here. Or if you are someone who Like visual, you can try this video from Lolly Chop.

Hello, this month I am preparing for Mother’s Day theme cards, album & tags Do let me know if you have any thing you like me to customise for your mum. A simple card to express the care & concern they have on us. Today I have a card to share using the papertreyink front & center #1 die to create a 3 fold card.
The stamp set that I am using is the pretty peonies papertrey ink anniversary set. I heart the word :Happy on top which I stamp using sweet blush ink against the sweet blush cardstock. And Mother’s day word in side the handle.
If you flip it open, i have stamped severals outline peonies around the word – Mother’s day. Isn’t it so sweet? I can imagine the different colors of peonies. I stamped and cut a peony and adhere in the center for the stopper of the card to prevent it from opening and keep the card closed.
When you flip the card open completely, this is how the card will look like.
This is the finished card using buttons and heartshape border to embellish the card.

Hello… I am back with a post on My Stamp Box together to celebrate Earth day on their blog! Do something to recycle, repurpose, reuse something from your surrounding. Here I am with a card: Love you forever. In this card, I used a map and die cut the flower petals from papertreyink bloomer builder #2. You can use the map that you have on hand when you go overseas. And reuse them! The possibilities are endless! Can you guess what country I have been to? haha…
Here is my card. I actually reuse alot of my scraps on my desk to create this card. The leaf is embossed with white embossing powder, heartshape borders leftover.
I am using the butterfly created from Colorful companions by My Stamp box. I heart this stamp set. You can create alot of dimension from this stamp set alone. I stacked a few of them and glue it to the toothpick. This toothpick can be removed from the card.
Here is a closer look on the card.
This card is using the front & center die from paperteyink which I reuse to create a card holder. This can be removed like this.
This pattern is actually stamped with papertreyink – guideline 2. I heart that it can be recreated into different pattern and color. You can write your sentiment here and gave it to your mom.
