Celebrate Stars Card

It's been a long time since I participated in a Simon Says Stamp challenge and this card is for both the Monday and Wednesday challenge. I used the Simon Says Stamp Stacked Stars and the Waffle Flower Celebrate dies along with a stitched rectangular die. I layered a few of the celebrate word so that it pops up a bit. It's a simple card but I do prefer the look of clean and simple cards most of the time.

Mixed Media Crazy Bird Birthday Card

One of my favourite crafty things to do is to play with Distress Paints and today I thought of incorporating the card I've made for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge into a mixed media series that I'm doing on my channel. Do check out the video at the end of this post.

I'm really pleased with how the card turned out and all the different techniques I applied to the Distress Paints. I especially love the mixed media backgrounds I worked on and the Tim Holtz Crazy Birds stamp set was pretty cute too. I only have 3 of those birds in my set. It was one of those "made for Michaels" (or was it JoAnns?) sets that came with the coordinating dies too.

 

This is probably one of the cutest cards I've made :-)

Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Traveler's Notebook Process - Cameron Highlands

My husband and I took a mini vacation and went up Cameron Highlands to enjoy the cool weather, beautiful scenery and food. Of course I had to journal about the trip in my traveler's notebook, especially after a friend printed out an Instax photo on her printer. I think I need an Instax printer too!

Take 5 Art Collaboration - Smiles Are Free

Hey everyone, I did another Take5Art collaboration at the last day of July and this time around, the prompts were pretty interesting. They were;

- 2 stencils
- stickers
- circles
- white
- lips

I admit, the last one really stumped me but I think it turned out ok in the end.

The Take 5 Art involves 5 prompts that are randomly drawn. We will then use the 5 prompts in our art journaling and upload our projects together at the end of the month. It's so much fun! Be sure to use the hashtag #take5art if you're joining us. Also do check out the links on my video to see what the other ladies are up to.

Journal With Me Traveler's Notebook - Chamil Garden Embossing

I recently received my Chamil Garden Flower Season Ep6 order last week and I am so in love with the sweet, little stamps. Not only are these stamps very pretty, they are so delicate and came wrapped very lovingly. I did an unboxing video last week but today, I decided to use them in my traveler's notebook layout.

 

I hope you enjoy the video and thank you so much for watching.
