CARD#s HPJ-2016-30 to 50: Holiday Cards

Hi again! I wasn't supposed to take in more commissions aside from the tags, but a friend asked for a favor so I took some time to make twenty Christmas cards. I made them light and simple since they will be mailed abroad. I just hope the recipients like them. Here they are.

For the first set, I went vintage. I just adhered some diecuts and stickers to add dimension and interest to the cards. 

As for the second set, I made it really neat and simple. Half of it was splattered with ink while I let the other half alone. They turned out cute. I want them for myself! I think I'll make more cards with this style for other occasions. Gah. Wait till I get my hands on those Tim Holtz and Prima stencils! I'll go crazy stenciling away. Haha.

So, how did I make them? Easy peasy. I first stenciled using light molding paste. After drying, I splattered glimmer mist onto five of the cards. I then added the stamped images (I adhered some chipboard at the back of the cutouts for dimension.). I wrote the sentiments on pieces of black board paper using white pigment ink pen. And that was that! Done!

By the way, the cards are 4 1/4" x  5 1/2" (A2).

How do you find the cards? I hope you like them. Till next time! (I will post about six more cards before the year ends.) Thanks for looking today! Have a great week! Happy Holidays!!!

DECEMBER CRAFT HAUL

Hello! I'm back after several weeks. I am so busy running errands and what not that I am so exhausted. I will be MIA again after a couple of posts. I will be spending the holidays in the province. I'll finally get to greet the new year at home after six years! 

Anyway, I'll start a series of posts with the last craft haul I had for the year. There was still some left over pocket money from our Macau-Hong Kong trip so I splurged a little on some supplies. Yay! Here they are.

The Department Store had re-stocked their paper flowers. I just love the light pink ones! I'm going to use them on a canvas or two. And of course on several cards. Yay! I'm so excited!

You know very well where the next ones are from. Heh. I ordered a couple of clear stamps, manila tags and a paper pad from my favorite craft supplies shop Bee Happy Crafts. Gad. I wanted so many other stamps, but I have to wait till I have some more extra money. Wait for me babies! I'll get all of you. [Sigh.] I have to strategize for next year so I can go back to accepting commissions again. I am super pressed for time I don't get to do much crafting. I have not been that productive this year. I hope 2017 will be a great year for awesome projects. 

I guess I have to end it here. I won't add individual photos of the products. Maybe next time. Bye for now. Thanks for stopping by today!
