I used digital stamp cupcakes and die cut the cupcakes into circle. Then, they are colored using Copic markers before adhere onto a yellow stitched circles.<br /><br />I wanted to make a tri-folds cards so that the circles will be hanging on the card edge. After folded the card bases, the sentiment is stamped onto the card base as shown in the sketch. The circles are then adhere onto the card bases as in sketch.<br /><br />For final touches, some shimmers are added to the cupcakes cream and the candle. A red gem are added to cherry to give some dimensions.<br /><br />Dimension : A2 size (4.25" x 5.5" or 10.8cm x 13.9cm)<br />Type : Tri-folds<br />Inlay : None<br /></span></div>

Another open scalloped stitched circle is die cut onto a metallic embossed pink card stock and plastic to be the base of the shaker component and window. The open scalloped stitched circle plastic need to be trimmed to fit the gold foiled stitched happy birthday circle dies. The components are assembled and finally, some red sequins and purple and white glitter flakes are filled in the center of the metallic embossed pink open scalloped stitched circle die before closed it down with the stitched happy birthday circle frame.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Made these cards for my daughter Standard Three (she is now in Standard Five) teacher who is retiring.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There is a seller/crafter by the name of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kimmy.yu.3576" target="_blank">Kimmy Yu</a> who sells these unbranded and economic dies in Facebook Malaysia craft related groups. Sometimes she sells branded stamp sets as well. I noticed her posting for a while but never really take a closer look. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In her post, she mentioned that the dies are brand new and with normal plastic packaging only and even warn buyers if they mind, please do not order.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Then, one day in late November 2016, I decided to take a closer look at her posting and to my surprise, the dies she sells are really economical! Imagine that I can get four (4) sets of dies in about RM150! I told my hubby (my finance minister) about it and he give me permission to buy those dies I been dying for! Hooray!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I sent Kimmy the screenshots of dies I want but I forgot to include the written message as I was busy with something else after I sent the screenshots. After a while, she replied that all the dies I want are still available. Upon receiving her message, then only I realize that I forgotten to include the written message but yet she replied me. I proceed to ask about the total including postage fees and confirm on the postage method. She replied me on the total amount, confirmation on postage method as well as her account details. Since I had a planned vacation the following week, I told her to reserve the items for me and I will made the payment after I am back from my vacation. She noted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">However, I forgotten about the deal as I am busy with works after came back from vacation. I only remember the deal in the week of Christmas and quickly message Kimmy to apologize and ask if the items are still available. She asked me to re-send the photos and included a link to her still available on sale items album. I re-sent the photos and she reverted the same total amount, her account details and a short instructions for after payment follow-up details. I re-confirm again on the postage method as I told her that I wish to receive the items by Friday if I made my payment that night. She informs that Kuala Lumpur areas will receive the items the next following day after she posted. I share with her my concern on the manpower limitation of courier company due to it is near to festive holiday season as well as year end which might delayed the delivery. Nevertheless, I inform that I will inform her once I made my payment and she noted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Later that night, I made the payment and message her to acknowledge her on the payment. As I was typing my delivery address and details, she messaged to ask for the same. Once I sent the details over, she acknowledged and inform that she will let me know once she posted the items. I re-confirm with her again if the dies she is selling really unbranded and where they come from. She replied she is unsure as her supplier did not share with her these details.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am so happy that the items arrived before Christmas holiday as if there is any delay, it means that my parcel will have to overnight at the courier company warehouse for few days due to public holidays and at risk being lost in transition. As the items arrived before Christmas, these items are my early Christmas gifts from myself (or my beloved hubby since he gave me permission to spend) and Kimmy as well for the free gift she included. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I hope I can play with these dies soon and test its quality. If the quality is good, then I might find myself an economic way to buy more dies! *big big grin* </span></div>
