Penny Black stamps and My Minds Eye All is bright papers

I added a lil snow dots, which dont show clearly on the photo

  Merry Christmas and Happy New year ! 

Many blessings to you all during this holiday season !

Thank you tags

Hi everyone

how is your Christmas preparation ?

i've seen some of my facebook friends uploading their christmas tree and decor at home, all looks so beautiful. i kind of miss those feeling, celebrating, decorating on christmas season.
I don't have any christmas tree at home, :-( so i listen to christmas jingles from my mp3 player instead, just to make myself embrace the festive moment, add some christmas-y ambience at home. :D I am also starting to make some Christmas cards i plan to send sooon this week!  *rolling up sleeves*

It's a week of thanks at Penny Black blog this week, i made thank you tags, and made a couple of them.

I made these using white cardstock. I LOVEEE this cute hedgie stamp, its called Santa’s Hat. as for background, i stamped The THANKS from Sentiments set repeatedly. then use ribbon and twine as finishing touch.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog ^^

*ps. for those who read my previous post, my husband n i did really had a chocolate dessert during weekend,yay*

Guess Hoo likes some chocolate ?

My husband ! and my brother !

yes, they love chocolate so much, in fact,most of time they only order cocoa, chocolate drinks , eat chocolate bread and ice cream ... sometimes with chocolate chips, but no other flavor.
But for my husband, he's not a kind of person who celebrate valentine's. that's why i give chocolate to him anytime, no special occasion :-D

Here's some valentine's project i made using new valentine's stamp :

I personally really love this owls stamps

Easy-DIY clippers for your photos, just ink, stamp, cut and adhere to wooden clippers

Clip it on the photo hanging / wire

 Supplies : Penny Black Guess Hoo and Love Birds stamps. and Madison papers

 

AHA! here's a special chocolate wrapped with love

 Supplies : Penny Black Lots of Love and Loads of Love stamps. and Madison papers

and a Valentine's card

Supplies : Penny Black His Heart stamp. colored with Copics

 Now i am so in the mood for chocolate. LOL.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

 

 P.s. i would really love to if anybody has a simple chocolate dessert recipe , would you share ? :-p

 

Valentine lovely birdie

I'm so excited about valentine new release. I was super excited when my husband got home and handed me a package with new penny black stamps just arrived last weekend! Really made my heart sing! Don't forget to check all the new stamps design in the store HERE.

Here's as starter from me :)  I am using les petites from Penny Black and all the new stamps.Love birds cling stamp, and sentiment from Butterfly Symphony set.

An easy and simple project

Here i am, still busy with wedding preparation :) if you're looking for my Wedding theme mini challenge click HERE or just scroll down. You still have more time to submit your creation.

I wanna share what i have done today, i did a lil bit of crafting after lunch. As i have shared before, that i will be moving to Thailand, i actually have packed most of my crafting tools and supplies, what i have left on my desk are copics, distress inkpads, and a couple of stamps. With these, i did an easy alter on my wedding invitation envelopes.

Here's the look of my messy crafting desk 

 My fiance brought 25 wedding invitations from Thailand for my family and friends in Indonesia.

Here's the look of my invitation, so simple. they smells really good actually. and seeing the plain ivory color of the envelopes makes me want to do a lil bit of altering on them.

 

Hmmm... Let's do some stampin on this envelope !

Oh ya, i don't show you what's written inside the invitation because i don't have any idea how to read those just yet ^^ I can't read Thai letters yet..but what's so cool about it, it's said that we're getting married in year 2555! yes, this year is year 2555! :-D

 

I stamp Mimi's Big Day using rich brown ink on the envelope

Stamp a lot more and let them dry

Color some parts of the image with soft copic colors

Put the guest name sticker on the right, draw on it and make a bow out of pink twine

I am so so happy to see Mimi on my wedding invitation envelopes ! and now..these invitations are ready to be delivered to friends and family ^^

Thank you for visiting and viewing my simple project today.

Penny Black new product and giveaway news

Hi friends
How happy i am finally find an internet connection. I move to my mom place and no internet connection at home. But so many leisure time for crafting.
Today i am sharing my new cards using new product from Penny Black called Madison designer paper pad and Les petites. New pattern paper and mini cards along with colorful envelope definitely make it easier for me to make quick cards.

I cut a les petites white card into half and decorate each with Madison papers to create snowman.

The only stamping needed for these snowmen minis is the sentiment from
Penny Black cold nose warm heart set.
Eyes and carrot nose are from scrap cardstock

Second card is using full size of les petites card. What i really love is how small and perfect it is for small stamp images on a card so no need to emblies the whole space. 

Stamp from Penny black Christmas outdoors set.

Trick or Treat

Happy Tuesday,

It's the third day of big holiday in Indonesia, we just open our shop today and no workers showed up for work so we had to work extra by ourselves. Many people leave the town for holiday and the street was kind of empty. At night i just stay at home and crafting on my desk with my new stamps :)

One of my favorite stamp set from Halloween edition was critters set Critters Fright . the mice under the hat look so silly for me. :p Here's one QUICK halloween card you can make without too much efforts of coloring.

Make the fence looked broken and crooked 

1. Make a card using Dark Purple mix and match card stock. and punch a window circle on it. Cut another yellow circle, and put behind it.
2. Use a fence die cut (i use MFT dies) on black card stock, and cut the top part of fence for broken effect. Adhere on the bottom of the card
3. Stamp Mice with hat from Penny Black Critters Fright ,color and trim.
4. Stamp sentiment from the same set on white card stock, and trim a shape of words bubble. 
5. Adhere both on the card.
