Zeenya's card for her Dad's birthday



Hello bloggers,

I believe it is snowing in the UK - please do stay warm and cozy where ever you are...

Zeenya made this card in minutes with peel offs and some handcut clouds and green. It is for her Dad's birthday tomorrow. He loves golf so she thought it would be ideal to make a golf birthday card.

And of course your's truly did not make a card for the simple reason that I am a bit saturated with making cards after selling over 100 cards and collecting USD 250/. All I am trying to do is tidy up and when I try saving those small scraps of paper it gives me a headache... I am trying to save them in seperate folders but cannot get there. Any tips on organising my craft space are more than welcome.

Hugs,

Monica

Christmas card

Hello bloggers,

It was real fun to watch my little one on stage this afternoon dressed up as a flower (not a bee as I mentioned earlier)! She was supposed to do a bit of swaying but she just stood there like a rock - never mind atleast she went on stage.

I am trying to make unisex cards as I always land up making very feminine cards. So this was my take on making a card for a man...

I got inspiration to buy this ribbon from one of Lynn's Christmas cards. Do visit her blog and look at the stylish cards she creates.

This is a simple card but as I said I always need numbers to sell...

The top green bit is an additional flap on top and then are another two layers which are not visible in the picture.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

Christmas card for next batch of charity cards...



Hello bloggers,

Hope you are fine and enjoying the onset of the winter season... In Indonesia, we have plenty of rain, rain and more rain coming everyday.

Today my little one, Aleeza is going to be performing in her school concert - Lion King and all her classmates in Nursery 1 are going to be bees!!! We are excitedly waiting to watch them on stage...

Here is a card I made for my next batch of charity cards for sale...

It is a shimmery blue-grey cardstock with punched reindeer, holly leaves and ribbon from my stash. Rather simple but I do like it.

Am going to submit it for the following challenges:





Happy crafting with love,

Monica

Challenge then charity


Hi bloggers,

I made this card and a dozen more for a lady who stays in our complex who was kind enough to want to buy them...

It is a bit like the last card I posted... but I really like the colours here. 

As you can see my Cuttlebug is really coming in handy. The wine coloured circles have been die cut from handmade card stock. Pity  that this card looks much better in real life. 

Am going to enter this for the following challenges:

For challenges then for charity

Hello bloggers,

Thank you so much for your warm birthday wishes on Zeenya's birthday... what a lovely world blogland is!

I just happened to stumble upon www.cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/ and got inspired to take part in their latest challenge with this card.

Somehow this card looks much nicer in real life because I have used shimmery paper and the camera doesn't do enough justice to it. The circular shapes have been cut from my Cuttlebug die cuts on handmade paper and the snowflakes, holly leaves and reindeer are all from Carla craft punches. The sentiment is hand written because there wasn't enough space on the card to stamp it.

I am also going to enter this in the following challenges:

www.dcdchristmasclub.blogspot.com/ - anything goes

www.papercutzchallenge.blogspot.com/ - bling and any colours you like

Zeenya's birthday card

Hello bloggers,

Today is Zeenya's 11th birthday and silly me - did not think of making a card earlier... made this before midnight in a bit of a rush. She is not into pinks anymore so I had to think hard.

I could have stuck to blues but this teddy bear had browns in it and she does like browns.

This is a Penny Black stamp ( I think) which I coloured in with my water colour pencils. I coloured the mustardish paper with my wild honey distress ink and hand tore the paper.
The printed paper is from Terry's blog candy... oooh! I just love the papers I won in my blog candy.

By the way way, Zeenya is NOT into teddy bears anymore but I am... lol!
She did like the card when I gave it to her in the morning - thank God for that!

Love,

Monica

Partly recylced


Hello dear bloggers,

Thanks so much for your motivating and kind comments... It makes me feel that there is so much love out there just waiting to be shared... I am so glad to be part of such a beautiful world.

These two cards are partly recycled because the  embossed metallic circle in the first card is actually a lid from some food packaging which was lying around in the kitchen - waiting me for me to do something with it! I remember Leigh - www.charitycrafter.blogspot.com/ mentioned embossing on yoghurt lid covers in one of her posts and it stayed in my mind. She is an amazing crafter, honestly! She has so many tips to offer...And plenty of love too! So thanks so much, Leigh, your idea came in so handy.

In the second card I have used a Ferraro Rocher chocolate wrapper for the round shape. I stuck the wrapper over another round piece so that it would have enough thickness to stand the pressure of embossing.  

The wine glasses are punched out from my new Hobby Craft punches that I got this summer. I waited for almost six months to use it... and it is such a nice punch, don't you think? 

I used shimmery card stock to make it look befitting for the occasion. The rest of the stuff is from my stash.

I am going to enter this for www.naturallymecreations.blogspot.com - Monique's lovely blog which holds a weekend linky party every weekend (the theme being recycled) 


and also for the following challenges:

Sympathy card

Hello, dear bloggers,

Hope you are having a good weekend...

I made this card for Zeenya's delightful Art teacher who lost her mum recently. Ms Carter is an amazing art teacher... and you know what she tells the children? That she has ART in her name - now, that is so very true!

The roses are ofcourse handmade and as you can see my Cuttlebug is coming in handy. I have used a Carla craft jumbo punch at the bottom.

I am going to enter this for the following challenges:

Another charity sale at Zeenya's school


Hello bloggers,

Thanks to all the love and encouragement from you ladies, I managed to sell 51 of my 68 cards at Zeenya's school. That makes a total of 91 cards that I sold in both the schools.

Yippee! I was thrilled to bits... Of course a lot of credit goes to the children and their mums who bought my cards.

The card above is actually recyled from an Indian wedding card... All I did was to cut borders out of the old card and stick some sequins and punch out a round shape from the new love of my life - my Cuttlebug!
Stuck everything on gold card stock to make it look even more rich.

Below are some pics of the cards for the sale.

 This was a quick make with 3D stickers and pop up punches that I got from Hobby craft in London.
 Oh my lovely Cuttlebug - the ladies who bought these cards simply loved the embossed effect. They thought that I had bought ready made embossed paper.
 These reindeer were left over from another card and this is what I did with them.

Zeenya distressed and stamped this teddy bear... happily taken by a small girl in school.
 This was a card for little boys.
 Card for men.
 Famous paisley card done by mum - Zeenya distressed the image. The very first card to be sold!
 Peace signs by Zeenya... she did not think it was worth selling but it sold!
Puppy card.

Everytime I have a charity sale and it does well, I am on cloud nine...


I am linking the very first card on this post to Monique's blog - www.naturallymecreations.blogspot.com/

Thanks again for your motivating and kind comments.

Love,

Monica

Recycled card from Ferrero rocher wrapper and wall paper sample



Hello bloggers,

I would like to share this card that I made for my charity card sale.

The Christmas tree has been die cut from a Ferrero Rocher chocolate wrapper on my Sizzix  and the bottom bit with the orange and gold squiggly design is an old sample of wall paper.

The distressed effect was done by Zeenya with rusty hinge distress ink and I stamped a Hero Art design block on it. The gold cord and the ribbon are from my stash.

I know it is just an ordinary Christmas card but it is recycled and that makes me happy... atleast I am trying to save the earth in my own little way.

It sold off at the sale today at Zeenya's school. I will do a new post of the sale soon. Been a hectic day for me. My mum left today so it is a bit quiet at home. Thank God for my new companion - my blog. It makes me smile and gives me so much joy. I have met such wonderful people here - all so warm and encouraging. And I have learned so much too.

I am going to submit this card for Michelle's Monday Linky party.

Love,

Monica

For charity card sale last week



Hello bloggers,

I have had a busy and happy week as I had a card sale in my younger daughter's school ... The first set of cards was made by my Mum - she and her famous paisleys. But I marvel how she draws free hand. She made some tea light cards also.

The rest of the cards were made by me...

Managed to make 66 cards and am proud to say that 40 sold off! Am so chuffed.

Have another sale in my older daughter's school on Tuesday. We are trying to help the volcano tragedy victims with the sale proceeds. I know I don't make much money out my cards but it keeps me happy and it is my small way of paying back.

Have a nice day or evening where ever you are...

Love,

Monica

Chirstmas card for challenges and then to a good cause

Hello bloggers,

Hope all is well in your creative world...

Here is a simple card I made at the weekend with my new Inkadinkado clear stamp. It is rather childish compared to the gems that you lovely ladies produce out there. But I have an excuse - since I make cards to donate I need volumes, hence cannot spend too much time on one card. Sounds convincing, doesn't it? So that is my answer for not working so hard on my cards. Lol!

The gemstones that I have used are actually tiny "bindis" - the stuff that Indian ladies wear on their forehead.

I have got permission from my younger one's school to host a charity card sale on this coming Thursday and Friday - so am working away. Happily for sure!!!

Am entering this card in the following challenges as well:

www.thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/ - anything goes

www.ellephantasticchallenges.blogspot.com/ - blue

www.fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/ - clean and simple

www.michelle-pinkpaperparadise.blogspot.com/ - not a challenge but a no - pressure inspirational weekly linky party.

Halloween pics of my two-and-a-half-year-old Aleeza

For Halloween - uncovered
and


covered!!!

My little one Aleeza wore her wings just after her shower and I thought I had to capture the moment.

She dressed up as a butterfly for the fancy dress in school.

Enjoy!


Charity cards for Caring Hearts Drive at Ling's happy place

Hi bloggers,

Hope you had a good Halloween weekend... My kids had lots of fun - maybe I will post their pics when I get a chance.

Here are the cards that I am going to send to Vera at www.lingshappyplace.blogspot.com for Caring Hearts Card Drive. The deadline is November, 15th so hopefully they will reach before that... Thank you, Vera, for starting this wonderful drive!

These cards did not take very long to make which is just as well because I have a lot more to make.

The picture could have been better - anyway, I hope you like my cards. I love that poinsettia punch so much.

Love,

Monica

For challenges and charity

Hello bloggers,


Am so relieved that dear Sandra is back to crafting - she has been going through a not so good phase physically. She has made a beautiful card for Halloween - do check it out on her blog and leave her lots of love. She is such a special lady - full of kindness and warmth just like so many of you out there. Okay - enough of senti stuff...


This card has been made with lots of punches and OFCOURSE my home made flowers.


Incidentally these roses are made from a Sizzix mini die cut.


Guess what I have used for the leaves  - the remains of the punch used at the bottom!!! How thrifty I am - seeeeeeee... LOL.


The tear drops above the diamonds are also from the same remains.


The shimmery vase has been cut from  my Cuttlebug die cuts. My daughter - Zeenya is not very impressed with this card - she says it is cheap! Meanie! She does not approve of the vase.


Now to business - am going to enter is card for the following challenges:


http://kyliescardsandthings.blogspot.com/


http://www.aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/


www.lexiscreations.blogspot.com/


www.simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/


www.creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/


http://www.papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/




It took me over half an hour to write this post with the names of the challenges - duh!


As you can see I am taking this business of challenges quite seriously - again I have got the inspiration from you bloggers... thank you all so much.


Anyway the bottom line is that it is another card for charity never mind challenge or not.


Hope you like my card.


Love,


Monica

Christmas card again for charity

Hello bloggers,

This is my third post in the last one hour... gosh! Is blogging addictive - SURE is... And as I said I am in need of lot more Christmas cards to sell or donate. So I am crafting away... my excuse not to go to the gym or swim!

I have used my lovely new companion - Cuttlebug on this card. I ran the whole card through it. And some parts could not be embossed so I ran the card a second time and there was a blank space without any embossing.  So I covered it up with ribbon to hide the error!

The striped paper is from Terry's blog candly. The sentiment is a repeat - Jingle bells from Hero Arts and I have used distress ink on the paper.

I did like the subtle colours of this card more than the earlier version I posted at the week end.

I am going to enter this card for Challenge 26 at http://craftyannschallengeblog.wordpress.com/ which says ribbon, gems and one paper embellishment. My faux gems on the bells are a trivial small but am entering anyway... And am going to also enter this for http://toptiptuesday.blogspot.com/


Hope you like this card...

Hello blogger friends,

This lovely blog candy is being offered by Charity Crafter and Marion in honour of Amanda Mary who passed away a few weeks ago...Leigh was kind enough to share her experiences with Amanda Mary who has brought smiles to many faces. She was a much admired and respected crafter to say the least.
Do pop over to Leigh's blog and read more about this great soul.

Love,

More Christmas cards for charity



Hello dear bloggers,

I hope all is well in your world... Indonesia is having some adventurous weather conditions but with the grace of God we are fine in Jakarta.

These are some of the Christmas cards I made today. I will either donate them or sell them for a good cause.

The heart on the first one has been die cut from my Sizzix mini from guess what??? A Ferraro Rocher wrapper!!!

The distressed effect was achieved by yours truly while experimenting with my newly acquired distress inks - it was great fun! 

I have used a Hero stamp on the paper for the swirls. The orange circle at the back has been made from my Hobbycraft punch. 

The gold ribbon and metallic mini hearts are from my stash. The bow look okay in real life but for some reason looks distorted in the picture and I just could not manage a good picture with this shimmery paper.









This is the inside of the card - a red insert punched with my Carla craft mini heart punch.



This card has been made on the same shimmery card stock as the one on top. The gold ribbon and red cherries are from my stash. I have to make a lot of cards and quickly too because I will be needing a lot of them.

Hope you like my simple creations.

Love,

Monica

Another Christmas card

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are healthy and happy...

I made this Christmas card with the Jingle bells stamp from Hero Arts. And I punched the bells from my Carla craft bell punch and then ran it through my newly acquired Cuttlebug (so excited with it that I haven't been able to keep my feet on the ground - as a result of which not much has been achieved with it yet and DH will not be very happy about that! Lol.)

Everything else is from my stash. The thick blue vertical line of glitter has been produced by spreading PVA craft glue and thick blue glitter over it which was actually from Zeenya's stash... 

I am going to submit this for Sara Hurley's challenge no. 14 which says Christmas but no red and white. And ofcourse I am going to link it Michelle's Monday Linky party which is a real fun thing with no pressure of competition... Do visit her blog and check it out.

Ultimately this card will go to charity like all my other cards.

Hope you like my creation.

Love and joyful crafting where ever you are,

Monica

Sympathy card

Hello bloggers,

This is a card I made for Pauline of UK Aid who recently lost her mum. If you get the chance do visit this site and have a look at what they do for felsted children. I donated 20 cards to them through dear Leigh (Charity Crafter) and am making some more.

The card stock is pearlised and the quilled flowers and leaves have been made by yours truly. The ribbon and lace are from my stash. I shaded the area below the pot in pink to give a base to it.

I have to add that the card looks prettier in real life.

Hope you like it...

Coffee beans on a card!

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are well and happily crafting away...

Here is a card I made this morning with almost everything natural... the leaves are from my flower press.

The cardstock is handmade paper and by now you may have guessed what the round stuff is - coffee beans! My younger daughter bit into one of them and it smelled awfully good. I thought she would freak out but she ACTUALLY liked the flavour... Lol!

The green background paper is what Zeenya and her classmates painted in Grade 1 when they were experimenting with the Eric Carle style of painting. The teacher gave it to me before trashing it as she knew how crazy I am about such things. Lol! No wonder my art and craft space resembles a junk yard... I collect 'most anything and believe you me - it always comes in handy. And then as they say - "Creative minds are rarely tidy".
That is my excuse for keeping a messy table at all times!!!

By the way, sorry for the poor picture quality.

Love,

Monica

Baby girl card

Hello bloggers,

Thank you all for your motivating words... they did work wonders on my spirits! Zeenya was teasing me about the fact that I was looking for sympathy from all you lovely ladies out there! Not true I promise...

I was trying to make a birthday card for a two year old girl and ultimately this is what it looked like - a baby girl card. Can you believe that?!!! Now I will either sell it for charity or donate it.
And make another card which will hopefully befit a two year old.

The teddy stamp is from Inkadinkado while all the lace and ribbons are from my stash. The happy birthday sentiment has been cut from a ribbon. I seem to have gone overboard with the use of ribbons here - they make the poor teddy look bland, don't they? But if you zoom in on the picture, teddy actually looks glam because I have added a bit of glitter to her.

Wishing you a nice day or evening where ever you are...

Love,

Monica

Basically natural X'mas card -- by Zeenya

Hi Bloggers,

It's me again! Once again, I got motivated to make another card, cuz of your awesome comments. I decided I was making way too many cards that were blue, so I made this Xmas card with green and red.  So usual!! 

All the papers including the card stock are handmade from India. The red paper is recycled from a wedding card (I think!! I get so confused with the amount of stuff my Mum has!!)

The stocking stamp is from 'Inkadinkado'. Then I cut the stocking out and stuck it with double sided foam tape. The beads are from MY stash (for once!!) LOL.

Love,

Zeenya xxx

A card at last!

Hello bloggers,

Hope you are fine where ever you are...

My blog has been taken over by Zeenya as you can see - help!!!

Thanks for the loving encouragement you have been giving Zeenya. She is not stopping... and I am not starting!!! Lol!

I made this card with my newly acquired Design block called Holy Flourish from Hero stamp. It is huge!!!

The holly leaves have been punched from my Carla craft punch and the Merry Christmas sentiment is from Penny Black. The ribbon is from my stash.

I seem to be starved for card making ideas of late... I feel that my cards are not as good as the ones that you talented ladies make.

Anyway, I better not bore you with my waffling.

Hope you like this card.

Love,

Monica

Zeenya strikes again!!


Hello Everybody!
Hope your weekend is going well.... My weekend is almost over as it is Sunday, 8:20 pm and counting... But lucky me! I don't have to sleep early for the next seven days - we have autumn break!! *YAY*
Thank you so much for your kind comments on my previous card. It encouraged me to make another one of my bluey cards! (BLUE ROCKS!!!)

I made this card, without any of my mum's help yet again… I’m so proud of myself!! LOL

The big blue and black polka dots are a stamp from 'Hero Arts' My mum went out and came back with a bag full of stamps today! I was thrilled! :D I went over them with glitter. And the outline with a metalic Sakura pen.

The ribbon is also new – it came in that lovely bag…  The wool is from her wool drawer.

I would love to read how you like this card.

Love and hugs,

Zeenya

Card by my older daughter - Zeenya

Hiya Everybody!


It's me - Zeenya, Monica's older daughter. Hope all of you are well. I have made a card after a very looong time 'cause I am so busy with homework etc... I thought I would post this card - my mum gets all the comments and why not me for a change??? LOL!


I made it from A to Z without ANY help from my mum what so ever!! I was pretty pleased with the result (don't mean to sound too show-offy though!)


I used polka dotted paper for the background which my mum got from the local bookstore.


The dark blue paper has been embossed with our new Cuttlebug machine.


The ribbon and yarn are from my mum's stash. The beads are from long back when I was around 3 and I had braided my hair in Krabi, Thailand.


The sentiment is from 'Whisper Words - Docrafts.


If you have the time, I would love to read your comments.


Hugs,
Zeenya

Mum's birthday card

Hello bloggers,

Today was a real hot and sunny day... And it was my mum's 69th birthday. I made this card at 12 midnight as that was the only time I could manage...Am not too pleased with it and the sentiment hardly shows... pity!

The lace on this card has a 90 year old history, yes, 90 year old history!!! Can you believe that? My great grandpa bought it from Europe in the 1920s. I am lucky that it was passed on to me. It cannot be seen well as the sentiment has covered it all.

The paper is from Terry's blog candy and the roses are home made.

Love,

Monica

Card with Terry's blog candy and home made flowers


Hello bloggers,

Today it poured buckets again and the clouds were as thunderous as could be and my two and a half year old kept saying,"Mummy, I scared, I scared!" Some parts of the city were flooded yet again.

I have made this card with paper from Terry's (http://terryeo.blogspot.com)  fabulous blog candy. Added my homemade flowers and  dried leaves from my flower press. The card stock is handmade from India. Thank you again, Terry!

The sentiment is handwritten... not impressed with my handwriting - rather shaky here. Generally it is not too bad. 

I got inspired by  Lynn (http://creativecraftsbylynn.blogspot.com/) to do a thank you card after reading her lovely post with her butterfly card. Thanks, Lynn.

Hope you like this card.

Thanks for visiting... If you wish to leave a comment I would love it.

Have a nice day where ever you are...

Love,

Monica

Some more for charity - still going with pink!!!

Hello everyone, I am back again... Here is another card for charity quite like the other one I posted today. I used my Inkadinkado stamp and I coloured it in with Do craft chalks... looks much nicer and brighter in real life.  :(  

The papers are from Cardmaking and Paper craft magazine - they came along with my subscription. Pity the pearlised chalks look bland in the picture. 

If you have a minute to zoom in on the picture, I promise you the colouring looks much better...

Wonder if you will like this card?

Love,

Monica


New batch of charity cards - pretty in pink!

Hi bloggers, hope you had a nice week end... I am yet to make cards with my blog candy from Terry but I made this on Friday.
This is for my next batch of charity cards. I am due to have a charity sale but since I have been donating online, I have not been able to work on that front.The pink flower stamp is from Inkadinkado (yippee - at last I can spell that!). I have heat embossed the image even though it does not show in the picture. The pink smudgy paper is what I painted while dabbing with a sponge and paint on paper with my younger one. 


The leaves are from my flower press and the lace from my stash. The Happy Birthday sentiment has been cut from a ribbon.

It is a rather simple card - hope you like it.

Love,

Monica

Terry's anniversary blog candy


Hi bloggers, it is Sunday, 11.30 am here and it is hot and very sunny - typical, unpredictable tropical weather...

Hope you are having a good weekend where ever you are...

My weekend was great because I  received Terry's anniversary blog candy at last.  Yippppeeeeeee!

I had to ask Terry to post it to the UK because I don't trust the post here. My hubby got it for me when he went there on work. At last!

Thank you, Terry! I am thrilled with my new goodies. I love them all but what I like most is the delightful assortment of papers.  I will show you what I create soon. Right now I am too excited to do anything!!! Sorry the picture is not very clear but I couldn't wait to show of my prize.

Love,

Monica
