Last Minutes Cards

Merry Christmas, friends!

Hope each of you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.


但願每位都有個平安愉悅的聖誕假期。
These three cards were made in last minutes, really a last minutes card as two of them are made on the eve and the last one completed this morning.

在最後一分鐘完成了這三張聖誕卡,其中两張是在平安夜完成而最後一張則在今早完成。

The first card I made - Snowman card. Image and background patterned paper are downloaded from Cuddly Buddly Craft and Paper Craft Inspirations respectively. I decorated the snowflakes by glitter glue to make it bling, however it doesn't reveal the sparkling effect in the picture. I like this chubby snowman, he is so lovely!

最先完成了這張雪人卡。圖像和襯紙也是跟先前小綿羊卡同樣由Cuddly Buddly Craft以及Paper Card Inspirations下載的。我很喜歡這個可愛的胖雪人,很可惜照片裡顯示不出雪花運用了金蔥膠閃閃的效果。

I love this second card, it is mother bird and little birdie from Cocoa Studio Digital Stamp at My Grafico. Isn't it a very warm graphic? Again, used of Paper Craft Inspirations' free background paper as a frame for the card and stamped the Merry Christmas sentiments from Paper Craft Inspirations issue 67's free clear stamp to complete the card.

第二張卡是一對母鳥和小鳥的溫馨卡,圖像屬Cocoa Studio Digital Stamps。框框是由Paper Card Inspirations免費下載的襯紙裁剪出來,最後蓋上銀色Merry Christmas的字體是Paper Card Inspiration第67期的免費透明印章。

Christmas Tree Cupcake is the last card for this Christmas which was made this morning. I can't remember where I got the candy cane background paper but the polka dots background paper was downloaded from Paper Craft Inspirations and the Christmas Tree Cupcake image was a freebie from My Grafico.

這張杯子蛋糕是今早剛完成的卡片,棒棒糖的襯紙忘了是從那裡下載的;不過圓點襯紙還是採用了Paper Craft Inspirations免費下載圖。杯子蛋糕的圖也從My Grafico免費下載的。
Last but not least,
may the Christmas season fill your home with joy, your heart with love and may the coming year fill your life with laughter and happiness!

最後,
祝願這個聖誕節日讓你的家庭充滿愛和歡樂並在來臨的新年裡填滿了喜悅和幸福

warmest wishes

Sheepy Christmas

Happy New Year to Muslim readers! Today is Awal Muharram holiday in Malaysia, how is everyone's holiday?

This month, we're having 3 continuous long weekends, weekend in conjunction with Friday, which are Awal Muharram, Christmas Day and New year. Yippee! I love December, always!!

Christmas is around the corner; however I've no mood for crafting. Besides a little busy on job, the main reason is I'm too lazy and addicted on facebook. heehee...

A few free digi images were downloaded and printed in past few days and still no movement. Finally, I did a little colouring last night. And, do the final touch up based on Card Positioning Systems' weekly sketch (CPS146) for my first Christmas card today.

今天是回歷新年假期,不知道大家過的如何呢?這個十二月假期非常的多,而且都落在星期五:今天的回歷新年,下星期的聖誕節和後個星期的新年。加上週休二日就是連續三天的長假喔!

聖誕跫音一近,一直有想動手做卡片的想法,可是就無法理出心情。除了工作上一點小忙,罪魁禍首應該懶蟲作祟和沉迷於facebook!

幾天前,在幾個網站下載免費圖像;打印出來後一直沒有進一步的動作。終於在昨晚開始了一小部分的上色。今天繼續前進並以Card Positioning Systems最近一期的卡片設計草圖(CPS146)完成了……第一張聖誕卡片!呵呵~

This pair of adorable sheeps was free digi from Cuddly Buddly Craft, and the snowflakes background paper is from Paper Craft Inspiration Issue 67, it is available to download at their official website either. I appreciated there are plenty of free sources online for download for people like me without much stamps to make cards.

這對可愛的小綿羊是由Cuddly Buddly Craft 免費下載下來的,卡片紅色背景雪花襯紙也是由第67期的Paper Craft Inspiration雜誌的官網下載打印出來。非常感恩有這些免費下載的資源,至少在沒有印章和襯紙的情況下還能夠DIY卡片。

Here is another gift tag I have done, image also downloaded from Cuddly Buddly Craft. I trimmed the little birdy out (cut off its tiny feet and tail) and then glued it on the circle tag. Stamped "NOEL" (anyone discovers the "E" is inversion? heehee...) at the edge and match a "JOY" inside the tag. It is simple, right? This gift tag is made to enclose to a little present for a friend.

還有一張小標籤卡,圖像也是來自Cuddly Buddly Craft。我把鳥兒裁了出來(取去了牠瘦小的腳和尾巴)然後黏貼在圓形標籤卡上;隨後在邊緣蓋上"NOEL",卡的內頁則以"JOY"來配合。就這樣完成了一張簡單的小標籤並用來點綴即將送出去給朋友的小禮物。

Day Twelve - The Final Day

Evening folks! Trust you have a great Saturday!

Well, I am a little laid-back today as this will be the last present to open. Thus, I did my weekly household cleaning ahead and only then unwrapped the final TWO presents for the Day 12. I am very thankful that my partner prepared all these little pressie attentively according to my profile and it is fun and enjoyable to unwrap the packaging everyday!

Day 12 - Art Felts and Colored Pencils
Initially, I thought it is a towel when hold the packaging. But it was not, they're colourful art felts and I love all the colour and the texture also a little different from what I bought here. My mind begins to think how to make use of these lovely felts in my next projects.

Next, the coloured pencils. I haven't tried on it but I believe it is good as the cover printed "preferred by Teachers"...hahaha...Anyway, I will definitely use them for my card making in future.

Below is the "group" photo of the 12 days. :)

Time for bed now! see ya & sweet dreams!

Day 10 & 11

Happy Friday, everyone. Yeah~it's weekend again!!

I was out and return home late yesterday, thus, 2 pressie for today's posting. :)

I always wanted to have nice cotton print fabrics into my collection 'cos it's so difficult to get from the place I reside. Hmm...today's present really bright me up like its colours!

Day 10 - Pre-Cut Cotton Fabric
Present for Day 11 came with a dozen, this item also a craft tool that I would like to add into my purchase list. Do not be shocked by the quantity, they are slim and tiny. LOL

Day 11 - 12 Pieces Brush Set
Oh my, tomorrow will be the last pressie! My partner is generously prepared 2 on 12th day. So, stay with me for the surprise!

Good morning, friends. How's the weather at your side? Here...rain daily, it's monsoon season now.

Apart from my daily routine while arriving office, washing my cup and checking both office and personal emails. Today, I made a little change - unwrap my Day 8 present because I grabbed the little present and put it into my handbag before heading to workplace.

I love inkpads and the more the better...LOL

Thanks so much to my partner who has read my profile accordingly.
