First time w/ Studio Calico card kit.

" Aughhhh This pattern is too big for card making ! "

That's my complain when I make cards.

Just tired of all the pattern on pattern are too big for the card. 

I knew there are 6x6 paper pad out there but not all of them in the pad are cute tho.

So I've decided to purchase a card kit from Studio Calico. 

I gotta said I never disappointed with their kit.

This Block party kit is really cute ! 

It's cheery and fun. Perfect for start your 2013.

Let's take a look at my card.

I made this " Happy Birthday" Card
using card kit and added this Pink paisley Heart Artisan Chipboard
from the scrapbook add-on kit.

Since the kit came with yellow floss I was try to think of the way to make it useful
beside using it to tie a bow. I poke holes on the card then stitch it.

And to give some color to those heart chipboards I use Mister Huey.
It's so bright and bold !

Thank you for stoping by everyone.
I'm so excited to see all the new products coming out after CHA.

I'm all yours.

Hello everyone ! 

It's not even January yet but I'm so excited for Valentine !

Who wouldn't ? 

A season to spread your love.

Last week I went to Archivers 

and ran into a massive Valentine scrapbooking supplies.

But what make me even happier is 

They have Crate Paper Fourteen collection in store.

You know how big Archivers store is but 

I can hardly see they have Crate paper supplies in store.

Last one I sew in there was " Emma's Shop " 

So when I see these line I just grabbed all of Fourteen collection that they have in store.

Once I get home I just start making Valentine's card right away.

and here is one of them.

" I'm all yours "

Closer look on chipboard sticker layered on top of each other.

I added a enamel dots for more dimension.

Thank you everyone for stopping by.

Now it's time to go get some Valentine-ey to make cards for those you love.

Remember ! It's never too late or too early to show them how much you lot them !

Get supplies here !

I always do . . .

Honey , I'm home !

- - - - - -

So glad to be back in my studio and able to start crafting again 

although this time jet lag had me and 

make me woke up at 3 am every morning. 

I still manage to look through Pinterest to get inspirations.

Along with my lovely jet lag friend 

I got wisdom teeth pulled 3 days before my flight and 

it had happen to be a minor surgery since my teeth was laid horizon with the gum.

4 stitches later I'm still alive but it hurts so darn much !

'nuff said.

I arrive home with a big box of Studio Calico November kit and add-ons waiting for me.

After unpacking all the dirty clothes from Thailand.

I start to play with stamp sets that came in this month kits.

" Love 'em all "

Make this quick card just to remind myself.

- ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU LOVE -

Stay tune with me.

 I'll be back with more projects after I'm done playing catch up with all my DT assignment ^_^

xoxo

I can't use any other fonts that I have *sigh*

About this card it's simple and super easy to make.

First I print " and explore the world " on pattern paper.

Then I use glitter splattered technique .

Adhere word Smile that i cut out using foam adhesive.

Now it's time for me to get out explore the world

You are adorable !

Who's most adorable in you eyes ?

Your husband ?

Your kids ?

Your pet ?

Whoever they are.

Thanks them for making you smile.

- - - - - - -

I have make this card for my hubby.

I think he have a huge adorable side in him that most people can't see.
I'm glad that I get to see it.
And he said I'm the one who get his adorable side out of him.
Let's take a look at this card.
I know , I know it's PINK
but pink is perfect !
On this card I use stamp I bought from $1 bin at Michaels.
I'm seriously addicted to their $1 bin. So many cute stamp.
Make me wonder how could they sell them for $1 and still make profit ? 

Then add glitter tape that cut in half. I make a slope cut to add some fun in to it.

Don't worry about this card will be to plain because 

this dimensional flower sticker from Amy's sketch book collection totally 

give it a break from being plain.

It's just pop right out !

In this period of time my most favorite thing to give my project 

a little splattered effect is not ink but this lovely enamel.

Just love them so much ! Can actually use on all of the projects I'm working on.

Thank you so much everyone for stopping by.

You are adorable ! wink

Be anything You want to be

Hello everyone ^_^

It has been a crazy busy week for me. 

With all the packing and unpacking it drains away all my creativity. 

We aren't even talking about my sore shoulder muscle and
physically pain from lifting furniture here.

Anyway it's now almost over with.

I just have a little more to knick knack stuff to unpack
 ( mostly scrapbooking supplies lol ) .

Lately I'm so enjoy crafting.

 It makes me think about this quote my dad always tell me since I was little 

" You can be anything you want to be " 

Yes he did told me that 

and now it has come true.

I'm in love with what I'm doing.

I can actually called myself a crafter.

It's what I always wanted to be !

Then I found this quote label sticker.

Just caught my eyes and make me want to make this card for a good friend of mine.

Just to encourage her to be what she always wanted to be instead of wasting time do a job that she hate.

On this card I use PINK shade from the Sweetest Things collection ( My minds eye )

It's a mini card. about 3"x 2"

Use brads set and add a little fringe glitter I cut from glitter tape.

Here is closer look.

Thank you so much everyone !

Beside living my awesome life.

 and the new My Minds Eye ( the sweetest things ) collection.

Use epoxy on your card.

Hello everyone !

It's almost weekend again.

My last visit to Archivers, I was looking for something triangle to use on my card 

but hardly find anything that I like. 

Then I ran into Epiphany Crafts square epoxy and it gives me an idea 

how to use them to make my card "POP" with triangle object.

Let's take a look how I use them !

On this you are the best I use Crate Paper Little Bo Peep yellow flower pattern paper as card base.

Then I splattered black Mr.Huey ink on it.

For epoxy I use Crate Paper Pretty Party pattern paper and glitter tape under.

Cut them in half.

Sentiment : Ali Edwards

Let's take a closer look on this little things.

Tips 

• Square epoxy is very hard you might want to use some stronger scissor to cut them otherwise it might totally ruin your scissor.  ( I use Timholz scissor on them )
• I've try to use glitter paper under epoxy but none of them are good so I tried glitter tape and they works like magic !
• Make sure you stamp you sentiment before adhere epoxy ( this is very important )

Love you.

Do you like My Mind's Eye ?

I do !

They always comes out with the cutest scrapbooking supplies ever.

And again this Nostalgia collection came out with really nice distress papers and embellishments.

On Six Strings  ( August kit add-on ) from Studico Calico 

have some die cuts and paper from this collection.

So I make some thing nice from it.

" Love you " Card

I use Pebbles Inc alpha stickers and some shiny things ( don't know what to called them lol ) and buttons from Bella Blvd 

Let's take a closer look.

 

FYI : I'm working on my writing skill so please hang in here with me while  my blog language is kinda confusing.

Thank you everyone for stopping by.

Now below here is tutorial how I make card base for this lovely card.

Thank you so much everyone for stopping by. Have a wonderful summer weekend !

I can't resist mint green.

This summer there's a color that I see everywhere I go.

It's MintGreen. Green is actually not my favorite but this kind of green get me crazy !

Last week I ordered Hey Days Fabrips by Studio Calico It said aqua on the description. 

But once I receive it. It blew my mind away !

I just have to use it right NOW. There are no business of me to make an invitation.

But who's care ? So I make this quick cut mini card.

" You are invited "

On this card I use special stamp that came out last month.

It's free when you order $100 worth of stuff on Studio Calico. 

 ( That's more than my scrapbook supplies allowance so it's a secret between us, OK ? )

I cut out fabrips in to strip. Adhere onto white card stock then stamp with " You're invited " sentiment.

I have this lovely color ink pad Versa Magic Dew Drop that goes perfect with fabrips.

So I use it on confetti stamp.

Then inked all over Tweets Wood Veneer from Elmwood Park kit with Versa Magic Dew Drop Pink Grapefruit color.

Put the all together. Then you have it. A quick and easy invitation for any fun party.

I'm now looking for some Mint Green t-shirt. If you know where can I get it gimme a shout !

XOXO Foxy

Hello everyone.

The weather have been frustrating me lately. 

It's sunny and nice in the morning when I wanna stay in bed 

and every afternoon when I'm done with my arranges and ready to craft it' start to get cloudy and rain ! Drive me insane. 

I love working in natural light but since I didn't have much options I worked under my lamp. 

It's ok for working but then I want to take a nice photo. 

I can't because fluorescent light it's to harsh :(

Pink cards

It's crazy how much I think about my favorite color.

When I was younger I afraid to tell people what my real favorite color is 

and I always try to hide that by telling them my favorite color is "WHITE" 

just so they can stop bugging me.

 Then I realize that wasn't fair because my favorite color is " Pink "

 I didn't wanna say it out loud because it's a girly color.

and I was a tough girl lol so pink will ruin my reputation.

Yeah called me crazy.

But now I'm married and grown up ( just a little bit )

Mature enough to tell people that my favorite color is Pink. Do you hear it  ?

PINKKKKK

- - - - - - - - - - - 

Today projects that I have to share with you are pink. Let's take a look.

Happy Birthday card. Using Crate Paper Pretty paper collection. It's so perfect for this !
