Christmas Tag

I attempted to make an easy Christmas Tag in a flash for the holiday!  This is my first attempt.  I can't say I like it 100%, but it turns out pretty okay! I will probably do more trials and errors later this weekend and will update my new design!!!

Googly Ghouls "Cheerful" Mummy!

Taking a break for Christmas card-making!  This Halloween card is so cute and funny.  Unlike the usual spooky Halloween card, I think this card makes me smile!  It's actually pretty cheerful!  Don't you think?!?

I really like how this card turns out.  I didn't have the Little Labels Punch Pack, so I used the Decorative Labels Punch to make the "little labels".  It turned out pretty well!!!  

Hope you all like this! Have a "Cheerful" Halloween!  =P

Triple Time Googly Ghouls Hallwoeen Card

Aw...Time flies!  I can't believe that I haven't posted on my blog for almost 8 months!!!   It's just too much happening in life that I have put this blog on a hold for the past couple of months!

I will make it a habit to post here at least once a week!!! Of course, I will upload new cards that I've made on the way too.  I have been making cards all these times, but just don't have time to share them here.  My bad, I know! =P

Halloween is around the corner, and I made a cute little card by using the new Stampin' Up! Googly Ghouls stamp set from the holiday catalog.  I was inspired by Steph, whose original card can be found here.  To make this card, I used the triple time technique!  It's fast and easy! You won't believe how easy it is to make this card!!!

Hope you like it!!!

Here is a card that I made in Jan.  I love it so much that I am thinking of hosting a workshop to make this wonderful card...tell me if you are interested! Thanks Brenda Keenan for the wonderful idea!

Sale.a.Bration 2012

I love the Sale.a.Bration promotion! It's already nice enough to have free hostess stamp set(s) when hosting a workshop. To top it, you can earn extra sale.a.bration bundle(s) during Jan 24-Mar 31.  I just love all those free products...LOL

Card 1:
Since I am still on a Valentine's mind set, no wonder my cards still have a "sweetness" taste to it. I really like this Everyday Enchantment set.  Can you believe it? The Designer Series Papers, Brads, and Ribbons are all free?!? Just love it!

Have a mentioned? If you join Stampin Up! during sale.a.bration promotion period, you only need to pay $125 (typically $175) for the starter kit which includes stamp sets, ink pads, cardstocks, etc. (values over $345).  In addition, you will get a free stack of cardstock/digital download for free each month for the rest of the year!

Valentine's

Valentine's Day is coming up!!! It's just so fun to make V-Day card.  I think I like to look at all those pretty hearts, flowers, etc.  That's the reason why you will see so many designs for V-Day cards.  I am sure you can find one that suits your taste, or for that special someone in your life!

I have been thinking of hosting the first workshop for a while.  There were so many cards that I wanna make with my friends and family. At the end, I decided to plan my workshop around the Valentine's theme. Make it sweet and memorable huh?

This second card is simple but sweet.  Instead of using a lot of rubber stamps, I decided to use the new Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders (125601) and the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die (125596).  I really like using the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (113439) - easy, fast, fun and cool!!!
