Red and pink with green..

HC022R

Red, pink and soft green is the combo I used this time! I’m trying new color combos nowadays and this is what I ended up with! Two large flowers in the middle and with some swirls and leaves and tight rolls together made this pretty design! This is actually the largest card I’ve done so far. Half A4 size actually. So I had large space to do a design. I didn’t do a pop up this time cos I loved the red color card I used. The design was done on top of a cream color card.

Quilled Pink Elephant

HC021B

Hey folks !!! what’s brewing in the crafting world nowadays??? Sorry for being silent for a loooong time!!! I’ve been busy for some time…. Well anyway, I’m back!!

Lately I’ve been thinking about baby cards….and just as I was thinking that no one has asked me to do a baby card yet.. a call came from a friend requesting a birthday card for a little girl!!! For her 1^st birthday!! I was thrilled!!! However I’ve been brainstorming for ideas for 2 days… and here’s the result!!!

A pink elephant card!!! Yup! Who says elephants are supposed to be black anyway….. I chose the colors pink, yellow and white as the theme colors and animals were chose as the theme. When it comes to creating cards for kids forget the words elegance, glamour and complex art that no one understands!! LOL!! Yup, you can use lots of colors and lots of stuff on kids cards…. being simple doesn’t mean doing one elephant on a plain card!! You gotta add some stuff to it!! Remember you are making the card for the kid…not for the parents!!!

So, the patterned paper of yellow and white flowers on the front was actually created by me… using a plain yellow paper with hand cut small flowers… the pink polka dot ribbon with the elephant adds pink to the card.. The elephant is filled with bright pink open coils.. And if you were wondering what the yellow marquise doing there..That’s the long flappy ears of the elephant!! Hehe.. he’s holding 3 balloons, ‘cos the theme is animal-party thingy … 

The lettered buttons are actually made by me… The inside has a pop-up of a giraffe who seems to be enjoying the party a lot!  and huge gift ! the letters “happy” hangs too…cos this is where the party is!!! And the confetti seems to be just everywhere…hmm a happening party, I guess!!! Hehe. The message is covered with polka dots!

The padded envelope is pink and decorated with some flowers…

Blue and white design

 

Hello guys.. sorry for being so late to post something.. again!! I do have some designs that I did in January. Really sorry about the picture quality here.. it was a last minute order and I had to do it as fast as possible, and it was almost midnight that I finished it.. then I took the photos, coz I had to post it first thing in the morning! so the photos are not in good quality! Sorry! 

However, the design is done in blue and white, lots of people seems to be digging this two tone idea actually!!! I only managed to do blue & white color so far though! This was a spontaneous design, I didn’t actually draw a sketch or anything.. just worked it as I go along!!! J Turned out pretty though! The two letters, ‘ BB’ was a request from the client and as I didn’t have time to do a pop up, did the inscriptions inside. There was no room left on the front, as the design took whole space!!

Another version of HC003

HC003P

This is the same version as HC003A but with different colors. it looks like that this design is the most wanted one. Most of my customers ask for this design with different color themes. I used soothing and serene colors this time. I find these colors are very relaxing to the eye. used pink as the dominant color and I think the colors have a pastel look.

Butterfly card

VC006A

I can’t believe I finally managed to finish this card!!! Phew!! this card nearly made me go crazy….hehe.. This is a very hard design to do..very time consuming..lots of things that can go wrong….ooooh! Seriously , this is the first time I tried to do something so complex…. The thing is this card is about symmetry.. you have to try to make the both sides look similar! And that is the hard part!!! Cos spirals you make do not like to stay the same size… At first I had to brainstorm to decide the colors for this design…but then I decided to do it in two tones, since I had limited time to finish this order. However had I been selecting colors to do this design then I would be still choosing colors! Hehe So to make it simple I decided to go with these two colors.

Fist I had to draw the design and copy it on to a tracing paper and make a sketch on the card, rolling spirals and gluing them onto the card was nerve wrecking!!! Hehe.. Since there isn’t much color I added some silver to give some shine. And I managed to do a pop-up too! 

The inside and the outside of the card is very different to each other.. The idea behind the card was, the front is the gate to another special world …when you open it you go to the world of love, the world of you and me!! Hehe that’s the why the front of the card is “elegant” and the inside is somewhat cartoon type…. 

Te wordings are done on the inside, cos there is not enough space to write on the front!! So I added "Happy birthday My sweetheart "on the inside.

 Anyway, I love the couple on the flower cloud… this order is from a friend of mine… it’s for his for a girl friend actually… I wanted to do something I haven’t done before , so this is totally a new concept from me.. And out of my comfort zone!! Hehe Anyway I’m happy with the final product and this is the most expensive card chamicrafts have from now on.. Also the largest there is!  However I hope to try this again  with colors added to the butterflies…when I have free time!

Quilled heart in Red and Pink...

VC005A

This is one of my favorite and most time consuming card actually!!! Yup but I do love it ..Worth all the time spent making it….!! It’s a love theme card and a birthday card, an order for a friend’s boyfriend actually… This is also a kind a two tone card… with pink and red!! Getting all the loose coils and heart shape has been such a tough job! And then I did a little pop up inside with a cute little “I love u” note and two hearts… the hearts indicate the couple actually … the boy with a bow and the girl with a flower on her head! The pink ribbon that’s running on the front of card is holding the love u note and the hearts!   

The envelope is in red and padded to protect the quilled shapes.. the card can be customized…

Blue and white....

HC019A

Two tone color card!! Just blue and white !!!  It feels like being in the sky  !!Can’t believe how beautiful and serene it looks only with two colors!!  I'm hoping to do this card with other colors too using only two tones... I’m going to use this card for something …up… you will get to know about it in my next post…

Padded envelope is provided for protection of the card. I made it to be a birthday card.. but looks okay to turn it into a thank you, mother’s day card…etc..

Colorful Hearts Card...

VC004A

Here I am…after some time!!! Well it’s been a long time since I made this card but had to wait to until the card is given to the intended person and ….. Well, anyway as you can see this is a card for a lover…yup that’s why lots of hearts!!!  This is actually an order for one of my good friends / a regular customer…..and it’s for her boyfriend who is again a good friend of me!

                Sometimes I have no clue when it comes do masculine cards…just “a shirt and a tie” card can be seen most of the times...but when it comes to love , I don’t think that’s enough! So I decided to go a safer way…with hearts!

                Here I used a white color card to emphasize the colorful hearts…choosing colors for the hearts had been a little difficult..let alone deciding the designs for each heart! The soft blue heart is decorated with some white tight coils, tiny red beads on pink heart, piece of gold code on the yellow heart, pink glitter on red heart, more glitter on orange and yellow heart, tiny ribbon rose on soft green heart with silver line!!!!!! There goes my hearts!!! Phew! This car comes with a red padded envelope. As always, this card is open for customization!!
