Card Making / Sending Lots of Love

Happy Friday!!

It's still cold out there, but the sun is shining. What a beautiful day！

Today I'm sharing a card using a couple of flower stamps of a various brands.

The idea is inspired by Papertrey Ink Make it Monday challenge.

They have a great video of this challenge made by Danielle Flanders.

She is such a talented lady. I love her style as well.

I started off with several flower stamps on the top left corner to my card base.
Then I added different leaf stamps with simply chartreuse, limeade ice and summer sunrise.

After finishing the corner stamping, I used a Heidy Swapp background stamp inked with sweet blush ink pad.

Then I stamped my sentiment with true black ink. I should have used pigment black ink instead of dye ink. It smeared a bit after I brushed some glitter with wink of stella.

I hand drawn the frame with a sharpie as my finishing touch.
I chose a white wood grain card stock as my card base and then I adhered my panel to the base using foam tape.
I think it came out cute!

快樂星期五！！！
一周又快過了，雖然天氣很冷，但是台中的陽光很溫暖
是個適合出門散步的好日子


今天要介紹我很喜歡的一家美國印章公司叫做Paertrey Ink (簡稱PTI)
他們每個月都會推出新的設計和搭配的刀模
價格很實惠，可是國際運費很貴 囧


雖然如此沖著他們的設計還是付了貴貴的運費，買來心愛的印章和刀模
Anyway~Papertrey Ink 每週都會推出一個卡片挑戰，附上設計群的教學影片
有興趣的人可以連結到他們的官網參加
獎品是他們家產品的禮券
在購物結帳的時候可以扣抵


這次的卡片也是看到這星期一的挑戰影片後得到的靈感
用了好幾家公司的花卉印章


蓋完字章之後用wink of stella點綴
不過字章應該要用防水的油墨印台來蓋
因為wink of stella是水性的
刷上去的時候，字章有一點暈開了


今年給自己訂下了目標，要多參加一些國內外的手作挑戰
希望能多做些美好的作品給大家欣賞！

Projects / Altered Cereal Box 改造麥片盒

Hello crafty friends, I hope that you all have a great weekend! I'm popping in to share a project I made a while ago. I saw a YouTube video showed a project of altering a cereal box. I was so inspired that I decided I have to make one.

This is the front of the cabinet.

This is the inside of the cabinet when you open it.

Down below are some pictures of the details of the cabinet.

The birdcage was using Tim Holtz's die.

This angel was altered from a Christmas embellishment.

I used gesso over the little guy, when dried, I painted it with white acrylic paint. Then I used homemade modeling paste over it. Done!

I handmade almost all the flowers using the technique I learned form Youtube as well.

Here's the back of the cabinet.

I put some washi tapes, wood-mount stamps, handecarved stamp inside.

If you're interested in this project and want to make one yourself, the lady also had a ustream tutorial.

Here's the link to the tutorial video.

今天要跟大家分享一個我之前的作品

我在YouTube上看到的作法，是用剩下的喜瑞兒空盒改造的

因為實在太漂亮了，忍不住手癢也做了一個

封面上的裝飾品幾乎都是自己做的

鳥籠是用Tim Holtz的刀模切割後

刷上一層gesso打底

邱比特是用現成的聖誕節裝飾品改造的

原品是塑膠製品，我先刷了兩三層gesso

等乾了以後又刷了一層白色的壓克力漆

然後再刷一層自製的modeling paste

紙花和麻布花也是看影片後自己照著做的

原創作者有教學影片，有點長但是很詳細

Card Making / Be Mine

I just can't wait to share this card with you! This card is inspired by Joni, a very talented lovely card maker, who is really good at watercoloring. Joni is Wplus9 design team member. She created a lot of amazing cards. I just love her style. You can head off her blog to see what she creates.

Here's her blog:Papell with Love

I cut the beautiful flowers from Wilna's cut file. And I randomly watercolored them. 

I also used some gorgeous ephemera from Crate Paper's Open Book collection by Maggie Holmes. This is an awesome line. If you don't have just head over to Simon Says Stamp to grab one. I glued all the elements on a white wood grain card stock. Finally I sprayed some gold color shine mist from Heidi Swapp as my finish touch. 

Very simple and easy card.

這張卡片的靈感是來自一個很棒的彩印人--Joni. 

我從Wplus9的部落格看到她的作品之後簡直愛上她了

她擅長水彩和乾淨漂亮的風格

完全是我的菜啊!!!!

卡片裡的花草是用卡密歐切的，用了Wilna的設計

這位彩印人設計了很多自己畫的花花草草

她最擅長的領域是美編，風格也是我喜歡的水彩和簡單乾淨

有興趣的話也可以去她的部落格裡看看

花草切好後用水彩上色

然後搭配Crate Paper的設計師Maggie Holmes的Open Book系列

最後用金色的噴瓶灑幾滴當作點綴

希望大家會喜歡

Supplies:

Silhouette Cameo, Crate Paper Open Book Collection, watercolor, Heidi Swapp Colour Shine Mist in Gold Lame

Card Making / Life is Sweet

I took a challenge hosting by a lovely crafty lady in Taiwan.

It is a challenge about handmade stuff.

There will be a topic for crafters to take participate in every month.

You can make cards, scrapbook layouts, Decopages, or anything that response to the topic.

Here is the topic for January--sketch

Here is my take.

今年終於決定參加魔力手作挑戰

當作給自己一個練習及換個腦袋思考的刺激

以前不想給自己太多壓力

想按照自己的步調輕鬆的玩彩印

後來發現適當的與其他彩印人交流才能刺激自己漸漸有點僵化的思維

透過觀摩學習她人的長處和得意的領域能學到很多自己沒注意的東西

至少有些新產品問世的時候有人可以請教

真的是很棒的事情

Card making / Happy New Year! & New Challenge (MHC#1)

Celebrate 2015!

Happy New Year!! I can't believe that 2015 is already here! I wish all of my beloved family members and my dear friends a more healthy, creative, energetic and blessed new year.

For me, I hope I can be more crafty, take more fun challenges that I interested in, get organized and find some fun ways to use my scrapbooking products for different purposes.

I made this card to celebrate the new year, using Neat and Tangled and Wplus9 stamp sets. They both have many good design stamps and their quality and service is just awesome.

This card is also for a challenge I took this month called More Handmade Challenge. It is hosting by a lovely lady in Taiwan. The topic of the challenge will be announced the first day of the month. Crafters can make any kinds of projects such as cards, scrapbooking layouts, decoupage, bags, boxes, and so on, as long as they response to the topic.

Here's this month challenge -- sketch

Here's my take.

告別2014年，迎接2015年!
感覺像是剛過完農曆新年，怎麼一眨眼又是下個新年
真的是年紀越長，時間越不夠用的感覺
希望2015年是個豐收的好年
家人及親朋好友們都能更健康，過個充滿創意, 活力, 及祝福的一年


至於自己的新年期望
希望工作順利，家人健康和樂之外
試著多動手嚐試一些感興趣的領域
再更有組織更有效率ㄧ些
還希望能發掘更多更有趣的方法來使用堆在家裡的那些彩印產品  > <


這張卡片用了一家小巧可愛的印章公司Neat and Tangled的印章
以及Wplus9的印章
這兩家的印章設計很可愛，品質和服務超優
很期待她們能推出更多更棒的設計


這張卡片同時要參加魔力手作挑戰
