Hand printed paper from India

Dear sweet bloggers,

This card was made with hand printed paper from India and it looks really pretty in real life. 

The shiny washi tape is also from India. 

It took me a while to stick the washi tape as it was one of those that was pretty strong minded when it comes to sticking. Lol.

Happy Birthday card this time

Hello bloggers,

Here is my card to show you today. The cupcake topper was in my stash and I do know that I paid a bomb for it in Indonesia. The washi tapes are from Japan and Singapore. The rhinestones are from Kaiser craft while the sentiment banner is store bought. I am fairly pleased with this card. And yes, there is absolutely nothing recycled on this card for a change. 

I will submit this card in the following challenges:

Happy card making and stay healthy,

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 will submit my card in the following challenges:

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 will enter this card in the following challenges:
