Card Caravan #49: Color Combo

Fall colors are swarming the galleries and blog as the season is coming on in full swing. It’s just everywhere. So when it was my turn to host the latest Card Caravan Challenge, I thought about spicing things up and create a color combo that’s a bit more cheerful and fun. Don’t get me wrong, I love fall colors, they are so warm and lovely, but sometimes when we make cards and projects we often forget that some parts of the world does not have that season or perhaps in the opposite season from fall at the moment. So this challenge would work for everyone :)

Here is the color combo:

Update and a New Saturday Inspirations Video!

Hey all.. I have been rather quiet because it’s been a chaotic week. My Dad was hospitalized and I had to stay with him in the hospital so I can’t really do a lot of things. His prostate was bleeding and we found out that it was due to complications of his heart meds (which includes a blood thinner/coagulant) and his prostate meds. The doctors said that it was the result of the long term effects of the blood thinner. He has been discharged and doing well at home at the moment. The doctors also has changed his heart meds to prevent this from happening again.

Now since I didn’t posted any Saturday Inspirations video last week, I did a little double dipping today. Here’s a tut on how to make a tea bag book and also how to apply flocking powder to your image.

New Saturday Inspirations: Triple Easel Card

Hey all! Wow, I am kind of late to the party because it’s been crazy hectic this weekend at home. My nieces are here with my brother as their mother went to a business trip to Bali, so I haven’t had a time to post here. I did set up a scheduled post, but then when I checked it was actually saved as a draft on my computer instead (I use Live Writer). Gah… So I am posting a new one today hehe.

Anyway, yes… I have a new card and video for Loves Rubberstamps’ Saturday Inspiration post.

This is an easel card and believe me when I tell you that the pic here doesn’t do justice of the card in real life. It is quite stunning :D Come check out the video here:

Lovely Altered Notecard Box

Way before I got into stamping, I was so into altering things. I do it 100% hybrid and I kind of miss it lately. So here’s another altering attempt I made.

Details:

The flowers/roses are handmade using die cuts by Cheery Lynn. I don’t have many flowers especially of this color so I had to make it myself. I then ‘sugared’ the flowers using some Martha Stewart clear glitter.

First Saturday Inspirations Video!

Hello all! If you’ve seen my sidebar you’d probably know that I am one of the newest members of Loves Rubberstamps. Have you been to the store? There’s lots of goodies there especially stamps that would satisfy your papercrafting needs! And the challenge blog? Oh, don’t get me started.. It’s just chock full of inspiration! Speaking of inspiration… I have a video specially for Loves Rubberstamps. I am their video design team member, so every Saturday I will post a video of techniques, tutorials, color along or make-and-takes.

Anyway, the first project I am making for Loves Rubberstamps is a card with the image having the jeans textured by actual jeans.

Altered Triangle Banner

Hello all! I have been busy creating, so forgive my absence. I am recently on an altering kick. I don’t usually alter anything except albums (I used to years and years ago). So today I’ll show one of an altered item I made.

I made an altered triangle banner. Well technically, it’s not really altered since I made it from scratch using two layers of thin board.. But you can call it altered since I decorated it right? ;)

Here are some close up details:

I forgot to take pics of the back side… But it’s equally gorgeous. I lined the back with some metal-looking plastic trim I’ve hoard for ages hehehe.
