Quick Creations 2017 Guest Design Team Call

I am so excited to have the opportunity to apply for Quick Creations' 2017 Guest Design Team Call. It's always been my dream to be part of a design team so I can share my love for card making. I decided to share projects using Stamping Bella's Tiny Townie Birthday Party Stamp Set. I love using Glossy Accents on balloons, that extra dimension just makes the balloons look more realistic and I always get the "wow" reaction.



Another card I thought of sharing is a birthday card using The Greeting Farm's Birthday Anya. I made this for my daughter's best friend's birthday. Shaker cards are always a hit with kids and the image of Anya reminds me of her best friend too! 


Last but not the least, I'm a big fan of La-La Land Crafts and this is just one of the cards I made using Celebrate You Marci. I just realized all my entries for this DT call are all birthday cards! This Marci card is one of my favorites, it just looks so much fun and my friend loved it! I used Copic markers to color Marci and paper pieced the banner she's holding to match the die cut piece. 


Thanks for checking my work out and hope I get picked! I've been wishing to be part of a design team for so long it'll be a dream come true! Wish me luck!

Stamping Bella Birthday Card

Hi everyone! My share today is a birthday card using Stamping Bella's Tiny Townie collection Birthday Party.

I had so much fun making this card. Coloring those 3 girls was a challenge as I'm used to coloring larger images. Plus I had to redo the balloons since my first take left some unsightly bubbles. But overall, I love how it turned out.


All the images were colored using Copics, including the balloon, which I then later on added liquid gloss.

Hope you guys liked it!

I have been pretty busy studying calligraphy the last few weeks so my cards and other projects are going to be in trickles. Hope you bear with me! Or you can follow me on Instagram to see what I'm up to in terms of calligraphy.

Have a great weekend everyone!

A Girl Loves Macarons

Hi everyone! My second birthday card went to my co-worker who is also my BFF at work. Of all the people I've given cards to, be it birthday or just anything goes, she appreciates it the most. She's like my forever cheerleader, and she constantly picks me up when I'm down. I also learn a lot of life hacks from her, and when she's not at work, it just feels a bit lonely because she is my ray of sunshine.

I used Stamping Bella's Monique Loves Macarons. The background papers are from Echo Park's Birthday Wishes paper pack. That reminds me I don't own much of birthday papers. But I love this paper pack as I've used it in so many different occasions. Image is colored with Copics, and unfortunately I don't remember the colors I've used again. I mostly color as I ago, and that probably explains my poor color coordination too. I don't usually plan what colors to use.



Happy Birthday my friend! I know you loved it!
