Thanks!



Dear bloggers,

I made this card some days ago and I have tried to make a rainbow here. All the nesties and the sentimetnt are from Sizzix. It took me a long time to get the sentiment right. Anyway here is my happy chappy card. I hope it brightens up the vibe and brings happiness to us all.

Dear bloggers,

Here is a card that Aleeza designed many months ago with washi and masking tapes. The sentiment is from a pack of alphabet dies and we water coloured the paper before die cutting. It did take a long time to manage to place them on the paper. I would love to know if there is an easier way to place die cut sentiments on the card. 
I thought the background below the card is a nice prop but on second thoughts I could have chosen something else. Yet the card seems quite happy.

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card I have put together for CAS(E) this Sketch very similar to the one I posted a few days ago. The squares were die cut in a lopsided manner to make them look unusual before the water colour paper was coloured with water colour pencils. I tried to obtain an effect similar to cling wrap but this is what I got. I did not want to throw anything away so every single square was used - positive and negative. The black sentiment was die cut from a fancy real estate brochure.

Thank You

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is my card to show you today which was made a few weeks ago. The big tag has been recycled and I have stuck a tiny store bought tag on it after colouring it with Staedler markers. At the bottom of the recycled tag, colourful washi tag was used to add intensity of colour. 
Matching embroidery yarn was used to bring in more colour. The background has been made from strips of paper - it is quite a thing to stick these slim strips of paper yet there is something very calming about it.

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is another card to show you with strips of paper. The white strips are the leftover pieces of cardstock while the coloured strips are leftovers of watercolour paper that I had smooshed. I coloured the sentiment with Pentel watercolour tubes.

Thank you

Hello lovely angels,

Here is a super CAS card I made yesterday and it was designed by older one. These oval nesties were just lying around on my table.  
We were talking of the time when she was all of four and how she would design the layout of my cards before she left for school and I would make them exactly the way she left them. The conversation landed in this sweet card. I added rhinestones which I am not sure about. The thank you was diecut from a scrap piece of paper which was part of a pamphlet.

Recycled thank you

Hello bloggers,

Here is a card I made a few days ago with a cupcake box. Their cupcakes are the most delicious to say the least and I have collected a serious number of boxes. So you may see plenty of it in the coming days. Lol. 
The black paper is also from an old file that belonged to Aleeza so this card is pretty much recycled.

I have used a die that I ordered from ebay a few months ago for the nesties. I have used them earlier and quite like it. 
The thank you sentiment has been cut from a card stock. I know I use it often which bears testimony to the fact that I LOVE it.

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card I made a few weeks ago with a rubber stamp I bought in 2017 from the US. I took two-three stamp pads for more effect and went over them with Sakura gold pens. The gold cord on the side is from my stash. Both my girls felt that this card needed more zing, so I thought of the cord. The sentiment is handwritten.


Down is a closeup of the gold touches on the leaves. Looks quite nice to be honest.

Another thank you! What???

Hello dear bloggers,

This card was made in December when my older one was here from University over Christmas. 

I had these really cool stickers which had holographic circles. I took a couple and more of my flower punches and punched the flowers making sure the centre is aligned with the actual centre of the flower. 
In real life, the flowers look really cool. The ribbon is really fancy and the sentiment has been die cut using black cardstock.

I could make thank you cards for ever

Dear sweet bloggers,

In May 2010, I will complete 10 years of blogging. That is a landmark and the joys that have come along with the kindest people I have met have changed my life. Anyway, I should save these golden words for the anniversary. Lol.

I got taken away there and now back to my card. This is the new die that I bought online from Sizzix, I think. 
The sentiment is from a die and I have used packaging material for it. It had to be stuck right where it is since there was a strange stain from the distress inks.

Distress inks were used on the folder to colour the trees. Twine at the bottom completed the picture which has been knotted in two places as it seemed a bit stiff.  

Now let me see if I can find any challenges to fit in this card.

I love peacock feathers


Hello dear bloggers,

So here is the 1st of March - wish you all a happy month ahead. 
This card below was made for the Singapore Council of Women's Organizations (SCWO) to be used for the women's shelter as a thank you card to their many donors. 
I have used bright gold washi tape and a satin ribbon with peacock feather print from Spotlight. 
The little jewellery tag (which is actually the smallest nestie from a pack) is my new buy and I wrote 'thanks' on it. I tied the tag with a gold yarn to the ribbon. 
I have to give myself a pat for this simple beauty.

Thank you

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card to show you that was made with leftovers of water coloured paper as well as hand made paper from India. And there are a few scraps of coloured cardstock as well to fill in the matching colours. 
The sentiment is a rubber stamp (too far away to read its name) and I have used Stazon ink to stamp it.

 I think I did go overboard with the strips of paper yet there were a few errors to cover up so more strips came in handy. 

The inspiration for this card came from a post on Pinterest.


Learning for next time: use wider strips to ease the gluing process.

Thank you card

Dear bloggers,

Here is my card to show you. The purple colour is actually leftover from Dylon fabric dies which we needed to dye Aleeza's t-shirt for her house colours. I took card stock and gently glided it over the liquid dye that was left behind in the basin and this is what I achieved. The thanks sentiment, as usual, has been die cut from a yoghurt lid. I have mounted the dyed cardstock on cardboard instead of foam dots. Sometimes I take a whole piece of cardboard and stick it under.
