2 baby cards for the October babies

October / November must be the baby season, so many friends and coworkers just welcomed their little ones. I made 2 baby cards for my friends. One of them is also a card maker, so I was even more cautious with picking out the paper coordination. I followed the Super Sunday Sketch for this card. Hope she will like it!


The second one took less time. I had this lady bug for a baby scrapbooking element set. It looked a bit plain so I added several crystals embellishments on it. The little extra touch definitely brightened up the card!



August handmade wedding card, red-inspired

After Janny's wedding, I fell in love with the red colour. I used JH wedding theme colours to make the card.

I glued clear glitter on the cake to give it a cute shine.

A child's birthday card

Made this card for little Tulia. It's a pretty happy card for a little girl, don't you think? :)

Happy house-warming!

I made this card for my friend's house-warming. When I made it months ago, I intentionally kept it simple, but when I look at it now, it looks a bit too plain... If I could edit the card, I would probably make the center a bit bigger, and may be add a little house or something.

Pat's birthday card

Today is my little brother's Pat's birthday. Since he's moved to London to work, I haven't seen him for almost a year! I made him this cute and 充滿童真 alien birthday card. It's a bit kiddy, but then, to me, he is always a little kid.

365Cards Challenge: Day 29 "Hang in There"

Several dear friends are facing challenges, health, family, marriage, work. I wish all of my friends the best of luck. Hang in there!

Card for my Day 29 challenge "Hang in there"

Origami is one of my favourite hobbies since I was a kid. I made these origami shirts, drew the hangers, glued some mini crystals on them, and voila! Still unrusting myself from all the cards making, that's why it still took me 2 hours or so to come up with this card.

365Cards Challenge: Day 28 - Super Sketchy Sunday

I learned about this 365 card blog from my friend. I finally decided to follow one of the sketch to try it out myself.
有一段時間沒有做手作卡了. 今日在家, 左貼貼, 右貼貼的. 弄了這張卡. 奶奶四月生日. 母親節還有一個多月, 五月又有朋友結婚, 這一個月有很多機會再做更多的心意卡了.

I was following the sketch from Day 28 - Super Sketchy Sunday.
My card
I am a little rusty with my card making. Hopefully my cards will look better with more practices. :)

Baby's 1-month celebration card

It is a Chinese custom to have a celebration when baby turns one month old. We went to celebrate a friend's son one-month today. I made little Matthew this "slightly geeky" card. I am sure his parents would understand. :)

This card was a bit flat to begin with. So I cut the "Hello World" out from the card, to glue on another green card stock to provide some layering. I also embossed stars around the card.

Mom's Birthday Card

It's my mom's birthday tomorrow. I have been trying to make her the perfect birthday card. But since I have been so rusty at making cards; I had a tough time making a decent one. I am not extremely proud of this card, but I do like the element that I made. I cut each of the petal and glue them together to form a flower. I think it's pretty cute.

I have a friend who is pretty crazy with handmade cards. It's been fun sharing ideas and items with her. Because of her inspirations, I am sure I will make more cards this year. :)
