Hi everyone!
I have a CAS card to share with you today. I was totally inspired by THIS card I stumbled upon the other day.

I finally used a Breezy Wreath die (Memory Box) that I purchased months ago and never had a chance to open the package. lol. The sentiment was stamped with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with some gold embossing powder.

That's it from me today. Thank you for stopping by!

Hello everyone!!
As you know, TSG October release was postponed until next month, so my blog was quiet last week. lol! But today, I'm back with a card I made for this week's TSG challenge!

This week's challenge is brought to us by Kelly. She has challenged us to make a card or project inspired by the colors of her favorite drink, Pumpkin Spice Coffee!

When I saw the inspiration photo, I immediately thought of a pumpkin pie. So I picked up Poultry in Motion set and Bon Appetit set for my card. I'm not sure why, but, this simple layout was in my head from the start. Just picked some papers that matched with the inspiration colors, then paired them with the image, finished the card off with some embellishments.

Please hop over to the TSG blog for the challenge details and for more inspiration from our fabulous Trendsetters!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.;)

Hello everyone!
This week is a TSG Again! week over at the TSG blog, where we are revisiting some older TSG stamp sets. This month's selected sets are

Hauntingly delightful

Home Sweet Home Halloween Additions

You're a Hoot

Today, we, Trendsetters are showing you new cards using one of these sets.

It was about two years ago that the Hauntingly Delightful set was released. It still has been one of my most favorite stamp sets, and I've been in LOVE with the mummies in this set. For today, I actually tried to make a card with the other characters from the set, but...failed.... I couldn't resist them!LOL! And I just needed a masculine Halloween card, so here is my card.

A crowd of mummies... Ha ha, they are so cute, aren't they!
The spiders were came from Bugs & Hisses set. They were stamped with Versa Mark ink and heat-embossed with some white EP.

Now, hop over to the TSG blog to see what the other Trendsetters came up with for today!

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great weekend!

This is my second post for today. Please scroll down or click HERE to see my card for TSG Challenge 177. Thanks!

Hi again! Just popped in to let you know that I added three new digital stamps to my Etsy shop today. Please check them out HERE or HERE!

TSG 177 - Fall Fun

Happy Monday everyone!
Today I'm sharing a CAS card I made for this weeks TSG Challenge (TSG177). We are challenging you to make a card or project with a Fall/Halloween theme!

I used Batik technique for my card. In case you are not familiar with this technique, HERE is a link to a tutorial for it. But you'll find so many tutorials when you google using "batik, technique, stamp" as keywords.

Please visit the TSG blog for the challenge details. I hope you'll get a time for playing along with us this week!

Thank you for stopping by!

It's day3 of TSG Blog Hop Challenges!:) I'm soooo happy that I can share another fun stamp set that I made with the fabulous TSG team!!
When one of the TSG teammates suggested a Ninja themed set, I immediately agreed. Because... Is there any illustrator who can draw cute Ninja other than me, at least in this card making world?? LOL!!!

Ninja Skillz is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 26 stamps and will sell for $24.00.

I may be the only girl who colored the Ninja with RED in this blog hop. LOL!!! It might be unexpected color for you, but I believe he looks so cute!:)
The patterned papers I used were from Times & Seasons paper pad by Echo Park. These patterns reminded me of Tatami mats, so I thought they would work so well with Ninja.

Happy Monday everyone!
Last week I had been working on some digital stamps for October release at Birdie Brown and my projects for TSG previews that start tomorrow. So I didn't get time for blogging almost at all.
But I finally finished them all yesterday, and I managed to whip up a card for this weeks TSG challenge!:D

This weeks challenge is brought to us by Angela! She is challenging you to make a card/project using the provided inspiration photo. Look at this gorgeous photo!!!

When I saw this photo, I immediately thought of colorful hexagon patterned paper from So Happy Together 6x6 pad (Echo Park). And with those yarn, I decided to go with winter theme.

I used Wonderful Winter Wishes set. I stamped the image, masked it, and then sponged with some blue tone inks. After I colored the image with Copics, I added some white tiny spots over it  with a white gel pen, it hardly to see in the photo though. For the faux stitching lines I used In Stitches set as always.

Please head over to the TSG blog for the challenge details and more inspiration from other Trendsetters.

Thank you for stopping by today. I'll be back tomorrow with my sample card for day 1 of TSG sneak peeks, so I hope you'll come back here again!

I posted a new free digital stamp on my another blog, Birdie Brown, yesterday. So today, I'd like to share two cards I made using the digi.

If you like this little gnome boy and have not grabbed him yet, you can take him to your home from HERE (for free!).

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a lovely weekend.

This weeks TSG challenge is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the week, Kim O! She has challenged us to make a card/project without using any patterned paper.

It was so easy for me! Just made my own patterned paper using a stamp from Cute As A Button set.:D

The sentiment was from Stitched With Love. The heart patterns were stamped with Red Brick and Pink Petunia (Versa Magic). I did hand stitching with some Red Jute Twine and added some pearls. It took me only about 10 minutes to finish the card. Lovely!:)
