12 Days of Christmas

Couple months ago, I signed up to participate in this marvelous swap - 12 Days of Christmas. I understand this gonna cost me a lot on postage especially posting parcel to overseas, but I've no regret and it would be my first ever 12 days of Christmas! How wonderful to unwrap the little present daily from the first day of December!

Parcel to my partner in USA was arrived early and my partner opened all presents at once on the day it arrived on October 24th, 2009.

Whereas, my partner sent out her parcel to me on October 16th, and I got a message from her on November 8th, telling that the parcel she sent was returned to her door step due to a small error in the address, and she promised to be sent out the parcel again the next day. I was a little worry as this may delay of delivery. However, it wasn't! The parcel reached me today, November 28th, 2 days before December!! yay!!!!

Count the day to December from now on!!!

Cute Dress Card

It has been more than a month from my last update. Well, I'm totally lazy without reason.

Today - 090909...what a special date! Thought of doing a small update, I purposely make this cute dress card. It's a free template from Stampington, print, cut and covered it with patterned paper and embellished to complete.呼～一個多月的時間沒有更新了！除了懶還是懶。

今天是一個很特別的日子 ～ 090909，所以心想著要來點小更新。因此，著手弄了這張/件可愛的娃娃裙。一張非常簡易的卡片，裙子的型版是從Stampington網站免費下載。裁出型版襯上小花紙以及小裝飾點綴就完成了。

It's a boy

June...always rumbling! Apart from lot of June brides, there are a lot of new life coming! Having 4 of my friends "upgraded" to parents, such a broody season! haa...

Initially, I was intent to do a card to my girlfriend, whose gave birth a baby girl. But with no reason, I've made "it's a boy" card instead! Perhaps I like blue colours, do not say that I am old fashion. heehee...As for baby girl card, didn't know when will I begin to make, the little girl is full month soon.

六月...總是鬧轟轟的，除了眾多六月新娘，還有很多的新生命的降臨！身邊竟有四位朋友在六月升格當媽當爸的，還真是個多產的季節唷！呵呵～～

我也被這些喜悅感染，動手做了這張卡。最初的原意是要做一張給我的好朋友，祝賀她誕下了女寶寶；可是就不知道什麼原因做起了男寶寶卡。也許是我比較喜歡藍色吧，不要說我重男輕女喔。至於女寶寶版，也不知道什麼時候會動手弄，寶寶都快彌月了！

Update...

The card I posted yesterday had actually arrived and my friend had forgotten to tell me. heehee...

Alright, this card is to convey my regards to her registration of marriage and appreciation of our friendship as she plays an important role in my craft making journey. She helps me to stash some of the tools & supplies and even share her knowledge in card making & felt sewing.

Thank you my friend and wishing you happy ever after!

呵呵...今天接到通知昨天po的那張卡其實已經安全抵達目的地了！呼～郵局總算沒有讓我失望，只是朋友以為之前已經通知我了！

這張卡的實質意義是遙送我對這位朋友的結婚祝福以及感謝我們之間的友誼。她在我手工製作的道路上幫了我不少忙；並且分享和交流有關卡片製作和不織布縫製的知識。

謝謝妳～也借此再度祝福妳幸福永遠！！

A Simple Card

I've kept this post 3 weeks ago as I wanted to have a surprise for my friend. Well, it seems the card has lost its way to reach the destination. Can you believe it takes more than 3 weeks to post a card within Malaysia, this is ridiculous and what's wrong with our postal service??!!!

I've been experiencing lot and lot this type of problem, okay...fine...forget about it! I rather don't demolish everyone's mood.

Here it goes the pictures of my "lost" card...heehee

In this card, I used Martha Steward Heart punch on corrugated paper in different direction and overlapped on colour cardstock as we as the Leaf punch from Carla, I scraped the vein by using back of the craft knife. Lastly, I embellished with ric rac and stamped sentiment for the final touch up.

The inner is simple, I stamped the "congratulation" in between the bracket.

This is handmade envelope for the card...

因為想要給朋友驚喜，所以一直把這則寫好的帖收存快三個星期了。但是沒想到郵局再度的讓我失望。寄出快三個星期的卡片好像石沉大海般，難不成國內發送也需要多過兩個星期的時間？我們的郵局到底在搞些什麼呀？這樣的服務未免讓人心寒...吼～

算了，對遺失郵件這事我早已經麻木了，沒什麼大不了...只要習以為常就好！

還是來看看我這張卡的“遺照”吧...呸～呸～呸～這是好兆頭的卡片唷！哈哈哈...

這是一張非常簡單的卡片，主要工具是心型和葉子造型打洞器。我以不同方向在瓦楞紙上打出心型並黏貼在另外的心型色卡上，葉脈則以刀背劃；再以緞帶點綴並蓋上祝語。內頁也非常簡約，只是在括弧裡蓋上了"congratulation"罷了。

對了，卡片的封套也是我自己做的...(臭屁ing...) :Þ

PS: I'll update this blog if the addressee received this card.
注：我會修改這個帖如果手件人收到了這張卡片。

Elephants ATC

Herewith, my recent creation again. Love elephant, especially cute & chubby elephant like Disney animated cartoon Dumbo with two huge ears! Signed up immediately whilst seeing this swap at swap-bot.

My initial idea on the blue elephant was plain, just blue. Then, I found it's dull and I begun doodling swirls on it, however, the ball is really piece of flaw on this ATC. I hate it! Nevertheless, I love its ear, as I said, I like big ears like Dumbo! I stamped tiny flowers image with silver ink and cut a heart shape and glued it. Simple yet lovely, right? heehee...

2nd ATC, big ears again! Feminine elephant decorated with a flower gem and I filled the tusk with liquid pearl (it doesn't look clear in this picture). I applied the wide-spreading joke "elephant scared of mice" on this ATC, thus, I drew the little mice with long tail connected to each other as frame on the edge.

這是我近期的ATC，可愛又胖胖的小象。一直以來非常喜歡迪士尼動畫裡的小飛象，特別是它那對大大的耳朵！看到swap-bot裡有這個ATC就好不猶豫就參加了。

藍色的小象最初的概念只是純藍色罷了，完成後覺得有點單調而隨手劃上了漩渦狀圖案；不過，那可球卻是這張ATC的敗筆。恨死了！至於它的耳朵就如我喜歡小飛象的大耳朵，我裁出心型造型並蓋上銀色印台的碎花印章，然後再黏貼。非常簡單又可愛的，不是麼？

第二張ATC是一張非常女性化並帶上小花的粉色象，它的象牙則填上乳白色liquid pearl(照片拍的不明顯)。最後，我運用遠古流傳“大象怕老鼠”的笑話而劃上長長尾巴的小老鼠來點綴ATC的框框。

Inchie again...

My 2nd batch inchie for swap-bot! Woohoo...I was gradually hooked on inchie, it's so challenging to work on this tiny craft!

This is free theme inchie and my partner likes cupcake & cat, thus I take these two to make 2 inchies. Then, doddle the elephant and paisley and I like them most. Which one is your fave, eh? Besides, I also recycled card board to make a mini holder to fit these inchies and tied with ribbon.

再次製作inchie。我想我已漸漸迷上了這項迷你手工，非常有挑戰性。

這次也是自由主題，而我的交換夥伴喜歡杯子蛋糕和貓，所以我就以這兩個為主題做了兩張；其他兩張則自由發揮也是我的最愛 - 大象以及渦紋圖案！你比較喜歡那一張呢？

我還利用廢棄的紙盒裁出一個小套子並栓上絲帶來放這四張inchie。
