Can you imagine when someone as cute and adorable as this girl say this phrase to you? Omg!...i would definitely give her the biggest hug in the world :) and i would keep her forever! lol! I just couldn't stop looking at this card when i finished making it lol! Can't take my eyes off of her :)

 She is a HeroArts stamp image i got from a RAK from my sweet friend Rica. She was colored with Touch Marker pen. The patterned papers are from 7Gypsies "Baby Oh Girl" line which i distressed all the edges.

I also used a Martha Stewart border punch to create those decorative corners.

Gorgeous Gardenia flower and cherry blossoms accented with crystal stickles! You can buy these at IAmRoses.

TAG I'm It!

Good Morning friends! :)

I keep forgetting to post this creation, eek! So sharing with you today is this soft colored 3D tag i made way back in Summer. I'm bringing back the hot weather but only on my blog though... i don't like our weather right now :( so windy and cold! And i think we'll have our first snow anytime soon, i didn't even enjoyed Autumn that much 'coz the weather changes too fast! Excuse my ramblings lol!

Back to my tag, i totally love how it turned out! The soft colors and all the cute elements and textures are beautifully blended together. There's so much going on on this tag so give me a minute or so to tell you some fun facts... pls. scroll down and read on :) I hope you enjoy and thanks for your time.

  This is a BIG tag - 3 1/8" x 6 1/8" in size. Backed with a chipboard to support the white cardstock that serves as the base of my design.

I used various clear stamps by Prima and Inkadinkado, distress inks, fluid chalks and markers to complete this beautiful tag.

 

 Here's a closer look on the embossed part of the paper which some of the circles/bubbles where outlined with different colors using Tough Marker pen. 

I also outlined some parts of my handmade quilled paper flower and butterfly, it's very dimensional :) The paper i used for quilling is much like the corrugated paper and they're already pre-cut into strips at 1/4" wide x 20" long lol! 

This sentiment is by EKSucces, a RAK i've received from my sweet friend Elaine. I distressed the edges with ColorBox fluid chalk and added rhinestones on four corners of the sentiment.

You can also see the hand stitch i did on the side of the tag. Just to give it a really nice handmade touch to the tag :)

I also added iridescent pearl strands sitting on a beautiful trim on both sides of the sentiment. Love the many colors it gives, just like the ones i used on this tag.

Those small rhinestones are colored with a pink Touch Marker pen to coordinate with the pretty in pink lace on the bottom of the tag.

Christmas already?!

Howdy Everyone! :)

I'm a little bit early for Christmas time! Yay! I can't believe i really made a Christmas mini album lol! It wasn't my first idea at all :) it just happened that i couldn't figure out how to use this humongous gardenia flower from my IAmRoses DT package. And so i stare at this poor red curly and pretty flower sitting on my work table thinking how am i gonna incorporate this on my project...it wasn't easy to think lol! I spent hours and hours to come up with an idea on how to use it! Then i went to our kitchen, open the refrigerator and saw the almost empty butter container lol! so that's where the idea of creating a mini in a butter container exist haha! What a silly story! lol!

You're welcome to watch the video HERE and i hope you enjoy :)

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! :)

Beautiful gardenia flower, glimmer misted with my homemade glimmer mist. Love it!

Punched out snow flakes, i just stamped on a snowflake stamp image at the center.

 I only have 2 of this very pretty velvety textured leaf and they're just perfect for the gardenia flower.

I used Making Memories magnetic stamp alphabet "evolution" for the date. The tag was embossed too!

A small wreath on the inside of the lid using the S10 and R2 IAmRoses flowers :)

I also dressed up the inside of the plastic container with pretty lace and rhinestones which i colored it with my Touch Marker to match the lace.

TIP: use nail polish remover to remove the print or label on the plastic container. I know you might be wondering how come you can't see the label in the inside part of the container :)

Here's some of the pages of the mini album. I used felt and 3D stickers on them.

 Close up view of the crackled photo frame. The gold and shiny dots around the frame were made using the Pearl Pen from Viva Decor. I also distressed the edges of the tag with Antique Linen distress ink.

Thanksgiving 3D Box

Howdy folks! Whee! I love Fall :) my favorite season! But it's fading away so fast...so i hurriedly made this pretty box for my Thanksgiving gift :) and i just love how it turned out. This is actually my first project for the month of November for I Am Roses. I hope you like it! :)

Be sure to visit the IAmRoses DT Youtube Channel  for more inspirational projects from the Design Team.

Don't you just love the colors and the cutest little things on this card and this super adorable Tilda :) I love her!

Card when opened, i created those border decoration inside the card simply by 

using a Martha Stewart border punch and 2 pcs. of left over paper strips from the BG collection. 

Just a plain cardstock for journaling or maybe a place for photo :)

 And here's the accordion 3D box! I had so much fun making this and it was my first! And i can't wait to finish another one of this :)

Here's a better view i think :) nah! i just want you to see the beautiful lace around the box. And see how much space there is to fit anything pretty!

And the best part is of course when it's closed lol! This box is 1" thick and i forgot to mention, i distress the edges with StazOn timber brown Ink.

Here's the list of the I Am Roses flowers that i used on this project.

S10 - small brown flowers
JC1 - small crochet flowers
S3 - mix cherry blossoms

GB3 - mix gardenia flowers
