Create Your Own Stamp!

Hey peeps! I’m excited to be here sharing with you something new I recently discovered via pinterest. Once I discovered the different type of print, I was immediately drawn to it. Let me show you how I created mine...

For this project, all you need is a block/thick foam/acrylic block (as base), paint and yarn/twine.

Tie a knot at the back of the base.

Randomly wrap the twine to the base into a zig-zag pattern.

Next apply paint and stamp it on your background paper.

Here's the result. Fun eh?

Next, I used the SC Mister Huey to create masking by using leftover foam dots.

Ta daa... here's my completed layout! 

Layout was created using the Studio Calico Nov Handmade kit.

Fan-Fold Christmas Tree

Hello again! I love Christmas tree so much that I have to create another one for my Donna Salazar DT assignment again *giggles*. If you haven't seen 2 of my Christmas trees that I designed earlier, you may click HERE & HERE!

Have you started on your Christmas card? If you haven't, I have a card that is very simple to create :)

 The tree on this card is very simple to create. Just fan-fold each strip and arrange them from the longest to the shortest. Voila... you got yourself a card!

Remember to sprinkle some Donna's Fairy Dust glitters on the tree for that beautiful snowy effect & also some spritz for that sparkly look :) Christmas is coming soon & I am so excited!!

Freehand Scraps Projects

It's time to show you what I have created with the Freehand Scraps kit named Sweather Weather that I am guesting this month. The kit is so beautiful and I had so much fun playing with it. After creating a few projects I still have lots to play. So without further a due, here are the projects...

This card says it all... to count your blessings! I am grateful for everything that has happened & going to happen in my life. Each time, God surprises me with new things, new opportunities and in fact new friends! He just knows how to put a smile on my face :) What a mighty GOD we serve. Amen!

This is an altered sushi tray that I transformed it into a photo frame. I love hunting for wooden household products and made them into fun crafty pieces :)

I have a lil tutorial HERE for this layout :)

My girlfriend, Cindy aka the famous card-maker from Penang came to visit us last October. We had so much fun even-though it was only for 1.5 days together! I do wish it was longer... maybe next time! We had a lil photoshoot and the best way to treasure all these memories is to scrap them, rite? 

Lastly, a precious layout of these awesome couple! Love the colors in this Fancy Pants collection. 

I would like to thank Elaine McManus for a wonderful opportunity & believing in me! Remember to check out her kits each month because they are simply irresistable...trust me on that!

Oh yeah, my Festive Fetes online-classes @ Ms. Art's Papercrafting School is now available. Do check them out HERE!! Classes at Ms. Art's are just so affordable, you gotta check it out to believe it!

Peacock-inspired Christmas Tree

When my close friends & family came to visit me last October, I brought them to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park in Malaysia. It was such a beautiful adventure. In the park, we kept bumping into peacocks. The peacocks were allowed to roam freely in the park. Isn't that amazing?

Guess what, my Christmas altered project is inspired by this flightless bird - Peacock. I love Christmas tree and thought I should do one with a peacock-like.

An altered frame project using Weathered Winter collection.
I so love the rich green & red color on this collection.

Here are the step-by-step...

First, you need to die-cut 10 leaves using the Rose Creations leaf die.

Next, apply glue gloss at the edge of the leaves.

Followed by the Fairy Dust Glitter. Just sprinkle a generous amount. Love this stuff!

Here's how it will looked like. The fairy dust gives you the snow-effect.

Ok the next step is to cover the frame with Mix'd Media. You might need to leave the frame overnight to dry it or you can use the heat gun to fasten the drying time. 

Finally, I used one the Creative Book Pages die to stencil the edges of the frame by using a circle blender dabbed with Clearsnap ink. Finished it with a Smooch Spritz Vanilla Shimmer.

Here's the close-up shot...

It's perfect for a Christmas deco or simply a Christmas gift for a friend who appreciates Asian flair :)

Layout Tutorial & Guesting for Freehand Scraps

Hi there! I was invited by Elaine from Freehand Scraps to be Nov Guest Designer. She sent me a beautiful kit called Sweather Weather. This kit is just so pretty!! Perfect for fall, thanksgiving and  everyday theme too :)



So here I am again to show you a simple tutorial on how I created one of my layout. 

I really love this particular paper from Fancy Pants. The frames really attracted my attention. And I also love the back of the patterned paper too. So I came up with a perfect solution - to use them together. 

What I did was to cut the paper almost into half. The back of the paper (green) I turned it to the front and voila - you can have the best of both paper :) Layered it with a kraft cardstock. In the middle, I "joined" it with a strip of border punch. 

Next, you'll need to stick the shown sticker onto a transparency, cut the outline. The reason why I used a transparency because it's clear and I wanted to cut the sticker into half. You can always opt for paper. 

Cut these 2 brackets from the cards paper.

Ta daa... here's the completed layout...

From this layout, you can clearly see how I assembled all the papers & embellishments together. 

Close-up shots: 

I used the Cosmo Cricket's Tiny Text as part of my journaling. To raise the tiny text, I adhered foam dots.

I seriously adore the wood ruler and also the crochet flower. The button by Epiphany Craft is so cute!

Hope you enjoy this tutorial & have an awesome day! Will reveal the rest of my creations soon :)
