CoCoNUT Cards

I got myself a new crafting toy today. I figure instead of spending money to buy different stamps for different messages, I can create my own! And I can also make my "CoCoNut Cards" logo with this stamping kit. :)

Rarely do I use a cartoon character to create my cards. But for a special little girl, I can't think of any better than creating a girly hello kitty card. I love these little girl's cards. I just love all the pink and purple colours, and floral and glittery embellishments. :)

With our baby expecting to arrive in the next month and a half, we started receiving presents from friends. What's more personal than making my own cards to show our appreciation to these friends. :)


I went to Michaels hoping to use my 50% coupon, but of course, I ended up buying a lot more stuff. :) First I saw these cute baby ribbons and charms. Then I saw these white square blank cards (8 for $1.50!). I seem to like to work with square cards more, especially ones that are not too big. I will go back to Michaels to grab more of these blank square cards. I am going to have fun making more Thank You cards the next couple of weeks.

I have been pretty motivated with cards making lately. I made several Thank You cards last night. I took out my stamps and embossed powder which I haven't used for a while and was stamping away the different "thank you". This is probably the first time I am pretty happy with how the "thank you" stamps are being incorporated with the cards.

My set of three "thank you" cards.

Two good friends finally settled into their love nest.So I made a house warming card to celebrate their new home. I am sure their home will be filled with love. :) I like the concept of the "Home Sweet Home", but admit I probably used the wrong choice of ribbon in this case. Now that I am adding more ribbons to my cards, I should buy for ribbon supplies for my card making. :)

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!

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