Another birthday card commissioned by my colleague for her elder son. His favorite animal is elephant. Haha..hence the below..

The pic was taken before the glue dry up. Once its dry, the white will be gone. Since he loves animals… regardless what type..haha I used the Mcdonald farm sticker on the envelope..

Something silly for Easter..thought of making extra for own usage but was busy making other stuff.. ^^;

Using Paper Smooches stamp for the first time.. haha I like them.. so cute and they look silly! Hahaha

A colleague asked me to make a birthday card for her two sons.. this is for the one whose birthday is in April. Stamped using… I thnk its called My Clear Stamps.. lol.. cant remember but it is really cute.. colored them in with Copic. Thought it turned out better this time around (the coloring attempt)

And yet another monster..

Used the largest scallop from the Spellbinders to create a section where my colleague can write the note for her lil son..which I hope they will keep the card long enough until the kid can read.. lol

Blended in some tumbled glass distressed ink and then used the spinner die from Papertrey ink. Cut out the city landscape from MFT. In the background, stamped the landscape (part of the whole dino set). I used a button as the middle part between the dino and the back. Its supposed to help slide better.. lol.. but it was a bit lopsided coz the head of dino was heavier so I stuck a thin piece of paper at the bottom of the dino (at the back) to keep it more stable.

My colleague wanted this card so made this for his wifey. Yep, it looks like the other one that I made bt with different sentiments and a different background. I am quite happy with the overall effect.. hohoho

The difference between this and the previous one is also me using the blending tool and the distressed ink. I am quite happy with the blending used in the bg.. ^^

Though initially I thought of taking a break.. I realise I have 7 cards due… and I have yet to start on any of them.. still… hahaha… ohwell, I work fast under pressure.. Firstly, I probably need to work on my photo taking skills.. and I was on the floor, with minimal space to work but tons of tools around.. I cant wait till I get my own crafting space…

I was super tempted to buy the Milk carton die.. I saw that Stampin Up have a tiny one but all in all cost to me plus shipping would be close to $50-60? So I decided to haul out the scoreboard and try making my own from templates that I read up on online. First two was cut too short but the third one came out nicely.. The only difficulty I had was in scoring the diagonal lines to make the spout. But saving that $50 is well worth it..

I stamped the card with a Hero Art’s background cloud that I bought some time back. Another note to self is to get all the arty stuff done prior to scoring the card. The faint score lines make the surface uneven and the middle of the cloud stamp didnt imprint well despite me pressing it down hard. I used MFT’s wonky scallop die for the borders. The lil birdie was from Stampedous. So cute… haha.. stamped with my fav Versafine and colored with coloring pencil. My Copics have yet to arrive!

Punched a hole with EK Success’s scallop punch.. think this is 1.5”? And yes.. I punched the hole at the wrong side! haha.. this look more like a bird house feel vs a millk carton… haha but one shall not waste and still give ths away.. Initially I wanted to cut using the Martha Steward circle cutter.. but… after punching the blade through the paper… it wont turn?? Like huh.. I have to investigate another day…

The egg stamp was a gift from Cow. Thanks! I used different ink pads I have in store. Used some chalk ones, ink ones, pigment ones. There are a few eggs at the other side of the carton. :) I had to use a tiny wooden clip to secure the top. Initially I had used my dot tape runner on the lids so that it is still removable.. but it keep springing open on me..

Made two more for my colleagues..their background was some flower print from Hero Arts again. Stamped with Versafine Crimson red ink and colored across with diluted Victorian Velvet Distressed Ink. Am happy that the Versafine withstood the Distressed Ink being layered on top. I havent put the plastic thingy to cover the hole.. haha but yes… ta dah! Easter eggs milk carton..
