Tea for Two Card

Friday, May 15, 2009

Here's a card I made using PapertreyInk's 'tea for two' set from last month's release. i only got it a few days ago, but am loving it already!!! Oh and have you seen the new releases this month yet?? I'm getting the star set & most prob the rustic 'quick pick' :) Check out the new release here. The base is stamped with lines from PTI's 'journalling lines' with the fresh snow ink. THE best white ink EVER i must add! I stamped the teapot on vanilla cardstock, cut that out and mounted it on the base (die cut with stamping up's top note die) The patterened paper is from Basic Grey.

I simply love the brown accent above, it's heat embossed with white embossing powder on some brown scrap paper i had lying around. The teabag inside is strawberry flavoured :)

I sent this off to my friend Donna, who's in Shanghai working as a product designer for Calvin Klein. She makes really ADORABLE miniature houses too, and fiercely talented! Check her blog out ;)
By the way, my post for My Stamp Box's guest designer stint is up! Check it out here ;)
Have a great weekend!

Hope in realness + altered frame

Thursday, May 7, 2009

More stuff (final instalment) for the Scrapbooking from the inside out guest designer stint! Here's the last layout I did:

love the journaling on this one, i actually found this written on a toilet wall at a restaurant @ dempsey hill *lol* well i guess inspiration strikes you everywhere huh? so anyways i knew this would be perfect for the 'hope' theme.

The journalling spot's designed by Nancy Doren herself! really pretty, and really talented that woman. She recently got on the GCD studios design team too , congrats girly ;) She's a huge part of Scrapbooking From the Inside Out too so you gotta check them out.

i green chalk inked the chipboard butterfly that came with the kit then stamped it over with the really pretty prima stamp (that also came with the kit!) i accent coloured the flowers on the butterfly with a pink copic marker (R22 i believe it was) and then UTEE-ed the whole thing.

After all the layouts + 1 card, I still had so much leftover! So i altered this Ikea frame for my cousin (she loved it, yeay!)

Isn't that photo too cute? obviously we were pretending to be flamingoes hahaha. the photo's taken over at Jurong Bird Park, tons of fun esp the aviary where you could hand feed the birds!
Have a great day! Off to work on some projects for My Stamp Box :)

Card Patterns #13

Saturday, May 2, 2009

Pre-scheduling this post as I'm away on vacation in Indonesia at the moment. (probably piggin' out on the local fare as you're reading this *hyuk hyuk*) For those of you who're at home, pls don't envy me. You guys get your vacations too. Lurve y'all! XOXO

Anyhoo's here's this week's Card Patterns sketch : And here's muh take:

I also made a video to show you how I made the card. Enjoy! (pls excuse the music, i prob should have done a voiceover instead) :

All products used are from Scrapbooking from The Inside Out's May kit. I'm the guest designer this month (yippee!) Gorgeous kit & seriously full of goodies. Lots leftover after 3 layouts, 1 card + an altered project too ;) Check them out here. Totally not saying this because i'm the guest designer, their kits are seriously that good.

Also as usual, remember to post your take on sketch #13 over at Card Patterns using Mr Linky. A guest designer spot is up for grabs!

Good Luck boys & girls, have a good one ;)
Back on Tuesday!
