The Card Concept #16 – Create a wedding card

Posted on by

Hello folks,
Wow.. wow.. wow!! I am so excited to be a part of The Card Concept Wild Card Team!

Inspiration-Photo-16Here is the inspiration photo for The Card Concept #16. Isn’t it beautiful? I love it.

And… here is my first card for the Card Concept Challenge #16 :
20140806-YoonsunHur-01
My first task is to make a ‘Clean and Graphic’ card. The definition of Clean and Graphic is clean lines, simple treatment of text, no frills, bare boned, and message is communicated quickly. Hmm… honestly, It was quite a challenge to me because I love using many layers and frills LOL!!

I was inspired by the color combinations. Blue, white, and cream colours are so pure and match perfectly with weddings. I made a CAG inlaid die cut card in hope to inspire those who view it.

I die cut on the ivory panel using Spellbinders In’spire Die-Silhouette at first followed by the blue and cream coloured ones. For sentiment, I stamped ‘pure happiness’ in Memento Dye Ink Tuxedo Black.

Altenew PAINTED FLOWERS

Hello folks,
One month ago, one stamp set just knocked me out!! That was Altenew PAINTED FLOWERS stamp set! I don’t know why I couldn’t find it before?!?! @@

Here is what I came up with:
20140804-01
When I made this floral background card, I was inspired by Iwona (Chupa)’s fabulous custom made floral papers. I love all of her cards :D

For my custom-made floral background, I stamped flowers onto the watercolour paper using distress inks (mostly using fired brick). Originally I wanted to do watercolouring but, no needed to be. Because it looks like watercolour flowers just using ink pads. Amazing!!! I then covered the panel with a layer of vellum paper and then I stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment and flower on a separate piece of white cardstock, cut them out and popped them up with foam dots for dimension.

Christmas in August – CASE Study #202

Posted on by

Hello folks,
Christmas is just around the corner? Not yet! But, I need to make 100 Christmas cards from now on.

There are more than 100 homeless people around Sydney city area. Especially in the winter, many homeless people struggle against the cold. It is quite a sad… Our Church supports food and blankets to homeless people in Sydney since 2010. One month ago, pastor asked me to make greeting cards for those hopeless people because of delivering God’s love through handmade greeting card in Christmas and I answered “YES!!” without hesitation. Isn’t that amazing? It is really awesome job and I am so glad to make cards for them. Annnnnnnd… there is one more awesome thing to me! My Christmas card can fit for CASE Study Challenge #202 YAY!!!

CSC202-InspirationThe inspiration photo by Shari Carroll is truly amazing!!

Here is what I came up with:
20140805-01I used big enough Hero Arts Wreath of Leaves Stamp for my first CASE Study challenge card LOL!!

I made two-piece wreath as a focal point. One was for watercolouring, another was heat embossed on the vellum paper in gold. I then tied both of them using red & white twine. I wanted it feel more like Christmas, I used embossing folder on the kraft paper panel and then dabbed onto the paper in distress ink vintage photo. I added some red sequins for finishing touch.

Big congrats on the 4th Anniversary!!! I can’t wait for it.
