Heart flower

Dear bloggers,

Here is a card to show you today which has been made from embossed heart die cuts that came from Shirley-Anne who lives in Australia. Her blog is https://shirley-anne-stampingforjoy.blogspot.com/ and I am so honoured to share that from time to time, she has been sending craft goodies to me since the past 11 odd years that I have been blogging. Now, how kind is that?

Under the main flower, a sheet of kraft designer paper was stuck after being embossed and cut at a slant. For the centre of the flower smaller punched flowers were layered for more interest.

I will take part in the following challenges:

Happy cardmaking and happy everything to you,

Monica 

 

Singapore National Day

Today is Singapore's 56th National Day. On the 6th, I was privileged to host a card making session for the residents of the shelter (that houses abused women) as part of the celebration. The activity was conducted on Zoom hence I had to leave the supplies at the centre a few days in advance. It was indeed a nice evening for all. 

Down below are the cards I designed for the ladies and children to make. We kept red and white as the theme, keeping the colours of the flag in mind.

Thank you, Shirley-Anne for sending a box full of cards as a gift for the shelter. As you can see, the box came in rather handy as it was the perfect colour for the occasion. Your kindness is deeply appreciated as always.

 

Down below are the supplies that I delivered for the activity.

 

The lovely red box that came all the way from Australia. Thank you, Shirley-Anne.

Live Love Laugh

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is my card to show you today. It is partly recycled as the hearts and the kraft frame around them have been die cut from packaging material. I have actually used a cake base to die cut the hearts. The sentiment has also been die cut using food packaging.
