Posted on by

Hello crafty friends!
Welcome to Day 3 of the Pretty Pink Posh March 2022 Product Release Blog Hop. If you arrived here from the super talented Rachel Arribas’s blog you are on the right track.

Pretty Pink Posh March theme is Easter & Spring. There are lots of fresh and adorable items!

For my first card, I used the new Butterfly Shaker die, Smile Script die and Layered Butterflies stencil. All three new items are so adorable, right?!! I made cute butterflies background with the Layered Butterflies stencil and Distress inks.

I die cut the Butterfly Shaker from white cardstock, the Smile Script from metallic gold cardstock, and then added them to the centre of the card front.

I decorated the centre of all butterflies with the new pearls. I love these all rainbow coloured pearls so much!!


For the second card, I made edge-to-edge shaker card. For the background, I cut a piece of clear plastic bag bigger than A2 size, applied sticky double-side tape to all the edges of back of the background panel, covered the panel with clear plastic piece, and then filled it with the new Bunny Garden Clay Confetti, Iridescent Mini Circle and Iridescent Mini Star Confetti.

For the centre of the card, I stamped the Easter egg basket image in the Easter Circles set using pale beige dye ink, coloured it with Copic markers, and then die cut with the matching die. I love the floral shaped die in the Easter Circles coordinating die set.

My last, but not least, project is cake topper with super-duper adorable 3D Pinwheels die set. It’s my most favourite among entire March products, Woohoo! One of my closest friends’ daughter, Danielle turns five next week and she looooves pinwheels! So I made these pinwheel cake toppers for Danielle. :D

Floral Friday: SSS Sunflower

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends!
As you know, the sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine so I decided to use the Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Petals die set for this week’s Floral Friday!


Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Petals Die Set

I die cut petals and disk from watercolour paper using the Sunflower Petals dies first, applied Fossilized Amber Distress ink to all petals, coloured the centre of the sunflower with Walnut Stain Distress ink, and then assembled all pieces.

I die cut the cross from watercolour paper using the CZ Design Inlaid Cross die set, applied Broken China (Blue) and Fossilized Amber (Yellow) Distress inks. I added water drops.


Sending my love and prayers to all innocent people of Ukraine!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Praying for Ukraine

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends!
I’ve been thinking about Yana all weekend.. how afraid would she be now.. how sad would it be.. how painful would it be.. I kept praying for Yana, her families and her country, Ukraine – all the card makers around the world would have been the same as me. So I made a “Thinking of You” card with my prayers and love.

I used blue and yellow coloured cardstock. The reason is because we all know well. I dry embossed to an A2 sized panel using beautiful Roseville Bouquet embossing folder, and then added the “Thinking of You” sentiment & butterflies.


Please visit Yana’s blog. We can know how we can support Ukraine!!

NO WAR PLEASE!!!


Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a peaceful day!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Floral Friday: SSS Chinese Lantern Stem

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends!
Today I have an encouragement card with SSS Chinese Lantern Stem die. The Chinese Lantern Stem is recently released from Simon Says Stamp Good Luck Charm. It’s very popular!!


Simon Says Stamp Chinese Lantern Stem Die

Chinese Lantern flower means safety, comfort and protection so I decided to make an encouragement card with it. :D

At first I die cut the Chinese Lantern Stem from watercolour paper. I then coloured all die cuts with Distress inks:
Flowers: Dried Marigold & Spiced Marmalade
Leaves and stems: Bundled Sage & Peeled Paint.
Next, I dry embossed an A2 sized watercolour paper panel using the Crystal Distortion embossing folder, applied Dried Marigold Distress ink to the panel, and then made a square window on the top left part of the panel.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the CZ Design Clean Line Stacks set onto watercolour paper in white, inked onto it with Spiced Marmalade Distress ink. I then adhered the sentiment panel to the back of the background panel.

I mounted the background panel and the Chinese Lantern Stems on the card as shown in the picture, and then decorated the card with tiny butterflies & 4mm clear droplets. :D

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Floral Friday: Altenew Garden Picks

Posted on by

Hello crafty friends!
Today I have a floral card with Altenew Garden Picks 3D die set. Altenew has many stunning layered floral dies and the Garden Picks is definitely one of beautiful layered die sets!


Altenew Garden Picks 3D Die Set

To make this card, I started by die cutting the roses and leaves from watercolour paper using the Altenew Garden Picks 3D dies. I then assembled pieces together using fine tip glue pen – I made layered roses & leaves. I applied Distress inks to each die cut using mini blending tools & blending brushes:
Roses: Tattered Rose (pale pink) & Festive Berries (red)
Leaves: Bundled Sage (muted green), Crushed Olive (bright green)
and Antique Linen (vintage yellow).

For the background panel, I inked onto watercolour paper panel with Pumice Stone Distress ink first, and then dry embossed the panel with the Altenew Mod Squares 3D Embossing Folder – I love this patterns so much!! I then distressed the edges of the panel using Tim Holtz Paper Distresser.

I mounted all elements on khaki card base using foam tape, and then added waterdrops & white ink splatters all around the card. I’m so satisfied with the vintage look! :D

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!
