SSS October Kit

Hi everyone! I just recently came back from a fun filled weekend craft retreat hosted by La-La Land and have been busy finishing the projects. I will be posting them soon as I finish coloring all the images to attach to the project.

In the meantime, seeing the new December SSS kit sneak peak reminded me of last month's which I haven't shared. It's still Autumn so I think I'm still on time right? 😁


Here are the different versions I made.







Happy Fall everyone! Time is flying by so fast and there's just too much crafting goodness to do. Check out my instagram account too for more peaks at what I post daily.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring / Belated Easter

Before it gets too late, I'd like to share some of the other cards I made using the March 2016 SSS Card Kit. I recently got the April Kit in the mail and realized I haven't finished sharing my other creations just yet. So to complete my March kit, here goes.


I used one of Sizzix by Stephanie Barnard card dies for this card.


This was colored using Zig Clean Color Brushes.


Belated!

Easter Shaker Cards

Hello everyone! My share today are shaker cards from the March SSS Card Kit. Believe it or not this is my first ever shaker card. I've always wanted to make some but got daunted by all the pieces that go into it. But I had so much fun trying to assemble them together, and I hope you like my first attempts. 







This was my very first try. Though assembly turned out well, it was a bit late that I realized I should have inserted a pattered paper inside the circle, perhaps to offset the all white space. Lesson learned, hence better versions above. :p


Hope you all like it!

Easter Cards

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog's new look. How do you like it so far? I'm loving the fresh, modern, clean look and I hope you are too!

Today's share are all Easter cards that are from Simon Says Stamp's March Card Kit.

This is such a beautiful kit and the colors are just so vibrant, so happy. I also love that this kit includes a die, and a sample of the new Tim Holtz Distress Crayon. I took 1 swipe of it and was sold! Next day I placed my order for the full sets! Love how creamy it is! Literally it's so smooth, like butter. They work pretty much similar to the Faber Castell Gelatos, but this is way easier and smoother to glide on paper. And with a damp finger, you can rub and spread the colors.

Here are some of the cards I made using this kit.






Enjoy!

Belated Winter Cards

Hi everyone! My apologies for being MIA recently. I've had a major disaster at home recently and to say everything is chaotic at the moment is an understatement. I've never had to go through living in a house that is also being demo'd at the same time, so I'm a bit off my routine and schedule.

I haven't created much lately, but would like to pop in and share the remaining cards I made using the January Simon Says Stamp kit.

All in all I was able to make 13 cards out of this kit. Not bad huh? Hope you guys like it! Next stop, gotta start making the February AND March kits!

Simon Says January Card Kit

Hello everyone! So I bit the bullet and finally joined Simon Says Stamp's Monthly Card Kit. I've been drooling about these kits for the last 2 years already and finally decided to just go for it. I've purchased a few in the past, some that I really really love, but then is there really a month that's not to love? They're all so terrific!

Here are some of the card I made using the kit, and I think I've only used up about half of the supplies. I absolutely love Doodlebug Designs Polar Pals paper, and sticker sheet. The colors, the image, so so pretty!

Here's what's in the card kit.

And here some of the cards I've done with it. I should probably take better photos, since these are only taken using my phone.













As usual I'm probably out of season already. But this kit is so amazing it's hard to resist creating something out of it. And heads up too, I will most likely be posting the February kit way after Valentine's Day!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Marci Sending Loads of Love

Hi everyone! Here's another Marci card from me and this time I colored Marci using Spectrum Noir Blendable Color Pencils! I have all 5 sets and let me tell you this is by far my favorite set of color pencils. I do have Prismacolor too, but I find the Spectrum Noir pencils to be so much better. There are different techniques and my favorite is using gamsol to blend the colors.

I used Sending word die from Simon Says Stamp, and the sentiment from Just A Love Note stamp set.



Hair - Essentials Set - 095, 091, 089

Clothes, Shoes, Hair Piece - Primaries Set - 029, 035, 034
Heart Banner - Florals Set-  028, 025, 023

Oh my gosh! I actually did it! I was able to list down all the colors I used! Well I hope that helps!

Enjoy!
