Sent With Love with Sparkle Pens

I'm back with another card I created for Crafter's Companion CHA! I was not able to share this until after CHA so here it is! If you haven't check out this stamp set yet I encourage you to, HERE! It doesn't just have the cute deer stamp I used to make the Spring-theme card and THIS but also this super adorable fox stamp I used to make this fall card.  Love, love, love the Sparkle Pens,...

Thanks DEER (Dear)!

Here is the Fall-theme card I was talking about in my previous post! Using Crafter's Companion Stamp Set and Sparkle Pens. If you see it in person (or really up-close in this picture) you can see that the colored images are sparkling.  The cool thing about the Sparkle Pens is that it's water-based so you can mix it with water to create a softer tone of color. Such as the colored image below,...

DIY Red Packets for CNY!

Hello all! I'm back today with another CNY project, red packet/envelope! They are usually given out during Chinese New Year (by married couples) to friends and family who come to visit or when we visit them (only to those who are still single). My mom used to give them out to all of us right after CNY eve dinner. Money will be put in the red packet and it carries the meaning "money warding off evil...

Spring is in the Air (No, it's not)

The snow came late this winter, we had the first snow here in NY yesterday! I'm not a fan of the cold so I'll entertain myself with this Spring-theme card and hope Spring will come visit us sooner this year. :) Made this card for Crafter's Companion CHA with their amazing Sparkle Pens! Check out the stamp sets that are perfect to color with the Sparkle Pens HERE! Among all the stamp sets...

Chinese New Year Banner with Tutorial!

Hello! I don't know how many of you celebrate Chinese New Year but I'm for one very looking forward to this day. It's the year of Monkey and this year it falls on the 8th of February (yep, it's different each year depending on the lunar calendar). When I was young the celebration was huge, everyone would come home for the Chinese New Year Eve dinner - reunion dinner. But ever since I got married...

Altered Project - Accessory Box

Check out my latest altered project for Crafter's Companion! Created this using an old battery storage case and turned it into an accessory box. I sent this to CHA Show together with my few other cards. I enjoy transforming old items in my house into something new/different and use it again! I haven't been able to do any paper crafts recently due to my kids being sick and myself as well. It took...

Love You To The Moon & Back! Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! Happy New Year to you and welcome 2016! My new year's (or all time) resolution is to be grateful with what you have, do good, speak good and think good about things/people around you. Take action to do good, don't wait for good thing to come to you. I have been taught to be grateful since I was born (love my mom!), it's not one's duty to treat you kind. So if you received kindness,...
