Proud As A Peacock

Hello friends!

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

We were planning on going to Legoland this weekend but cancelled it the last minute because my son was sick. I guess we can always go some other time. I mean, it's pretty close by. It's no more than two hours away. LOL

Anyway, I want to share these two peacock cards with you! I made these for the Our Craft Lounge 2011 Summer CHA samples. I tend to forget what I posted or not when I put my cards/projects away. You know, out of sight, out of mind! LOL

I used this proud peacock from the Proud As A Peacock set. This is a brand new set just recently released. It comes with some awesome sentiments too! I totally recommend this!


Well, gang, that's all for now. I haven't have much time to craft hence the lack of posts. I need to send some thank you cards out too but haven't have the time to get things together. I have got to get more organized! LOL

Artist of the Month at Our Craft Lounge Part 5

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY THE CRAFT'S MEOW PREVIEW DAY POST!

Hello again!

This is my last post for Our Craft Lounge, Artist of the Month for May. :( I truly enjoyed playing with all my OCL stamps! Thank you so much, Heather and OCL for inviting me!

The last week was way hectic for me so I didn't have much time to create a project for my last post for OCL. I only have this coffee card shaped card. It's cute though, don't you think? :)

I found this tutorial HERE. It's super easy to make. I used the Fueled by Caffeine set for this card.

Thank you all for stopping by!

Artist of the Month at Our Craft Lounge Part 4

Hellllloooooooooooo! :) I am back with my OCL Artist of the Month post!

For today's project, I used the Big Birthday Wishes set. We all know how busy we get sometimes and just don't have the time to shop for that perfect gift for that special someone, right? Well, that's when GIFT CARDS come in handy! You guess it! I made more gift card holders!

This is a set of four gift card holders. It serves as a gift card holder and a card at the same time.

First up, I have this cool gift box to hold the gift card holders. I was in need of something to hold the GC holders and so I played with measurements. hehe I got it right the first time too! So yeah, no template but if anyone needs one, I'll try my best to get one done. Gotta give me time though. LOL You know I am a procrastinator! LOL

I didn't want just any old box so I added a little handle to serve as a little purse box. This box measures 5x5x1 1/2. It's a pretty good size.

Here is how it looks like once you flip it open. I used thin clear Velcro for closure. I intended to use magnets but couldn't find that little pack! LOL See, I can never find my stuff! LOL

Gift card holders are 4x4. Two designs, for altogether.


In case you are wondering about this $100 gift card, it's my reward from one of my credit cards. :)


I will be listing this set in my ETSY Store soon!

Well, that's all for now. I have more Our Craft Lounge creations to share next Monday so stay tuned!

Artist of the Month at Ouc Craft Lounge Part 3

Ahhh....Monday....which means, I am sharing Our Craft Lounge creations! hehe

I used The Pond set for my creations this week. I totally adorable this set! It is so versatile! You can practically use it for any occasion!

For this card, I made a simple "hi" card. Don't you just love the fun sentiment??


Using the same set, I used this cute little turtle for my bracelet. Yup, i used shrink ding! You know how much I love to use those! LOL I used freshwater pearls and finished it with a lobster clasp for closure. Pretty neat bracelet. hehe

I have more Our Craft Lounge creations to share next Monday so be sure to stop by again then!

before I go, I just want to let you guys know that I added JEWELRY to my Etsy Store this week! Some of you guys knew this already but for those who don't, I love jewelry making! My sister used to sell my jewelry at work but over the years, I got addicted to cardmaking so I really haven't been making much since then. But recently, I started back! Yup, I have been super duper busy multi tasking...as you can see from what I have at my Etsy store. LOL Unlike most sellers who have only a particular item for sale in their Etsy store, I like the idea of having a variety of things. You know, kind of like a one stop store for everything! hehe

Here are a couple of featured items at my store right now.




I will be adding more fun stuff next week!

Thanks so much for stopping by everyone!

Fairy Dust is a Must!

This is my second post for today. Please scroll down for my Lollipop Crafts post.

This is my second week as Artist of the Month at Our Craft Lounge. Today I used Fairy Dust is a Must set. Who doesn't love fairies? I know I do! hehe

For this card, I colored this pretty fairy with Prisma colored pencils. I love coloring with Prisma colored pencils but not as much as Copics. Copic is still my favre coloring medium. However, I do like to experiment with other mediums every now and then.

I used two of my handmade stick pins. I made a bunch so I am just tempted to use them on all of my cards! LOL

For this card, I colored this cute fairy with Copic. This fairy is from the same set.

I kept these cards pretty simple. They coordinate too! LOL

I have more OCL creations to share next Monday. Stay tuned!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Challenges:
Die Cut Dreams: Princess Birthday

Artist of the Month at Our Craft Lounge

Hello! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

This is a start of another awesome challenge at Lollipop Crafts. It's a recipe (3 stamps, 2 patterned papers, and 1 embellishment) challenge this week, hosted by our lovely Alanna.

You are probably looking for that on my cards. LOL Unfortunately, I don't have a Lollipop Crafts creation to share today. Instead, I have two Our Craft Lounge cards to share!

Why Our Carft Lounge? Well, just as my post title says, I am Artist of the Month at Our Craft Lounge! LOL I am thrilled! I was super duper excited when I received the invitation! Some of my OCL cards will be featured each Monday in May. That's five Mondays! LOL

Okay so on to my cards....

For this card, I used this cool bicycle stamp from the Out for a Spin set. I tell you, I am in love with this NO COLORING technique! LOL Recently, I love using doilies too. What's up with that? LOL

I added a little cotton candy pink sparkly fluff on the basket of hearts. If you have never tried sparkly fluff, you should! They are fun and cool! You can find some HERE.

I also used some of my seam binding ribbon and my handmade stick pin...available at my Etsy Store.

For this card, I used the same bicycle from the Out for a Spin set. I stamped and colored on kraft this time. I don't color on kraft paper often. It came out pretty cool, no?

I also tried chalk colored pencil on this card. I distressed the edges with it...light blue. Sentiment is from the same stamp set.


Well, that's all for now. I will have more OCL cards/projects to share next Monday!

Have a great one everyone!
