Cupcake Wishing You the Best Birthday Ever!

Cupcake Wishing You the Best Birthday Ever! 

Initially, I plan to make some thank you or hello cards as I do not have these on my stash. But after seeing the Fusion Card Challenge - Valentine Cupcake challenge, I decided to use my long forgotten cupcake image. However, instead of Valentine's, I prefer birthday sentiment since tomorrow will be Valentine's Day and I do not need one now.

Fusion Card Challenge - Valentine Cupcake

Cupcake Wishing You the Best Birthday Ever! - Original Sketch 

First, stitched circles are die cut from white cards stock and stamped with the cupcake image. They are then colored using Copic markers.

Close-up: The sentiment - mirror sketch

Two (2) strips are trimmed from yellow cards stock for the sentiment. Four (4) thin strips are trimmed from dark purple leftover card stock. The sentiment stamped onto the yellow strips with one on the far left and another on the far right. When assembled, these cards will mirror each other. The yellow strips are attached to a blue and red card base. The purple stripes are attached above and below the yellow stripe to make it stand out.

Cupcake Wishing You the Best Birthday Ever! - Mirror Sketch

The cupcake images are attached to the card base as in the sketch, with one as original position as a sketch and another one as the mirror image. They are attached to the card base using foam for some dimensional instead of a flat card.

Finally, some glitters are applied to the hearts topping as no birthday should be celebrated without glitter, right? :)

Cow Happy Happy Birthday Interactive Card

Cow Happy Happy Birthday Interactive Card

Is been sometimes I did not post anything since my last post in March 2020. Actually, I did make some cards after my last post but I just lazy or no time to post them. Nevertheless, I am back today for another card I made for my son's birthday which is coming this Sunday, 22 November 2020.

My son likes cows a lot. He has three (3) cow stuff toys that he love dearly and accompany him to sleep even he is already 9 years old! So, eventually, my birthday card to him is themed cow. I decided to make an interactive card as he voiced out last year that he wants something like his older sister's last year birthday card which is an interactive card.

Close-up: The cow, hays ad barn

The cow, hays and barn are stamps onto white cardstock and colored using Copic markers. Once done, they are die-cut with matching dies.

For the background, a white panel where some clouds and sun from a few older stamp sets are stamped. The sun is colored using Copic markers. Then, on a strip of green card stock, some grasses are stamped on it.

Close-up: The spinner circles

Two different spinner circles are die-cut onto the background to make the interactive card. The sentiment is stamped accordingly onto the background. Once the interactive card is assembled, the cow, hays, barn and strip of grass are attached to the background accordingly.

Wish Big Monster Shaker Card

Wish Big Monster Shaker Card

Made this card for my best friend whose birthday is coming next month. But since she is in Singapore, I need to get the present and this card posted early so that it will arrive on time for her birthday.

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 299 (MFTWSC299)

For this card, I am adopting MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 299 (MFTWSC299) as shown above and it is just perfect for challenge hosted by CAS-ual Fridays CFC157 - Shaker Card. I must admit that those confetti inside the shaker shape just remind me of party as challenge hosted by Cute Cards Thursday Challenge 444 - Party Time!

Close-up: The shaker circle

First, I die cut a white circle as the shaker base and also to stamp my image on. Then, I die cut a same size circle of acetate. Using a smaller circle die with the circle die I used to die cut the shaker base, I create a frame out of both circle dies so that I will have a rim/ring to build the shaker depth by die cutting from foam. In fact, I die cut two foam rim/ring so that I have the depth I needed. I also die cut a gold rim/ring to be attached at the most top layer of the shaker as decorative rim/ring to cover up every else (mostly ugly things) behind it. By this time, I did wish that I have Lawn Fawn Stitched Frame as die cut the frame by pairing two (2) sizes of circle dies together really do have its challenge.

Close-up: The sentiment and monster

The next thing I do is stamp the monster image and sentiment onto the white circle shaker base and color the monster with Copic markers. After coloring the monster, I give her some uniqueness by adding some mini spots under its horns as well as her webbed feet. With those mini spots, she just look different! More shimmer is added to her body as it is after all a birthday celebration and for me, needs lots of shine. :P

Close-up: Shinning monster (photo taken before the shaker is assemble)

Wish Big Monster Shaker Card - after it was shake

Then, it is time to assemble the shaker together. I use double sided tape as my medium instead of liquid glue as it is more manageable with double sided tape but it took some times as I need to peel shorter length of the tape due to the curvy of circle. I use some glitter confetti and gold steel ball bead nail art decoration as shaker elements.

Close-up: The panel - recycling from another project

As for the panel, I re-use leftover of masked stencil piece from this card. After the masked stencil piece is trimmed to size, it is attached onto a green card base as in sketch follow by the the shaker circle.

Dimension : A2 card or 4.25" x 5.5"

Flower and Bee Wishing You the Best Birthday Ever!

Flower and Bee Wishing You the Best Birthday Ever!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 247

For this card, I adopt MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 247 as shown above.

Close-up: Flower and bee

The card is finished by adding some white pearls to the pollen of the flower to give some dimension. Two (2) smaller purple gems are also add to the bee's antennas. Lastly, I apply some glitter onto the bee's wings to make it sparkle.

Made this birthday card for my colleague whom I promised earlier. Her birthday is on this Thursday.

Retrosketches #149

I adopt the simple sketch from Retrosketches #149 as shown above as I want to make a quick and simple card.

Close-up: Flower background

First, I stamp the flower repetitively onto a white card stock in pink so that it would be the background or own made pattern paper. Then, I purposely made a tear to the upper left corner as the sketch inspired me to have such idea! Then, the flower background is attached onto a pink card stock.

Close-up: Scalloped square tag

A rounded corners yellow square is stamped with the sentiment and attached with foam tape onto a green scalloped square die cut. At the left corner slit of the green scalloped square die cut, a gold ribbon is tied to it as in the sketch. Then, it is attached onto the pink card base using foam tape as in the sketch.

Perfection 3D Rose Birthday

Perfection 3D Rose Birthday

Well, when this birthday card reach to her, its gonna be a belated birthday wishes.....haiz! Sorry, my dearest friend! I will try to make up to yo next time you back to Malaysia or next year!

Clean and Simple Stamping - FTL263

This card layout is inspirational from Clean and Simple Stamping - FTL263 sketch/challenge as shown above. I adopt this sketch as I plan to make another 3D rose as previously did! So in love with the 3D effect that the rose brings!

Close-up : 3D rose with the pop dots colored

On a white card stock, four (4) roses are stamped and colored using Copic markers. Then, the four (4) colored roses trimmed so that they can be layered upon each to create some dimension using pop dots. Two (2) leaves are tucked behind the rose as decoration as shown in the sketch. I learnt a little lesson back when I made the another 3D rose. Well, it is the pop dots thing whereby the white pop dots will show under the layers. Thus, this time, I colored the side of the pop dots using one of the color I colored the rose.

Close-up : The doily, 3D rose and sentiment

On a purple card stock, a small background is used to stamp the pattern randomly as in sketch. Then, a white paper doily is attached onto the card base as in sketch. This is my first time use paper doily in my card! The 3D rose is attached to the top center of the doily.

Close-up : Sentiment

The sentiment is stamped on a yellow card stock and fish tailed at the two ending. It is attached onto the doily below the 3D rose as in the sketch.

Close-up : Colorful gems scattered

The card front is finished off with some colorful gems scattered as shown in the sketch.

Perfection 3D Rose Birthday - Inside

Inside the card, a darker yellow paper is used as inlay. On the center of the inlay, another sentiment is stamped. Some flowers are stamped to the side of the sentiment to give some personalize. The stamped flowers are colored with Copic markers and some silver glitter is added to the center of the flowers.
