Thank You Tag for Birthday Boy

My tags for birthday boy. Made from bazzill cardstock and granite specialty paper. I am happy that I made it a little bit perfect using my baby Silly. Print and cut again. I pay attention on clicking the command so that I won't waste any paper. I used again the command Text to Path. Oh I love my Silly babe!

Blue for the Michael's Blessed Day

My friend was looking for me to help her to decorate on her son's celebration. It is the Christening and 1st Birthday. I ask her if there's a theme so that I would match her theme to the color decoration. And we come up to the dark blue, light blue and white. She chose the scalloped circle for the banner. 

I used my buddy baby Silhouette Cameo to cut perfectly the scalloped shape and the round circle shape too. And also the font. I am so really really happy and love having a digital plotter to cut for my projects. Though sometimes we encounter a problem later on I know how to solve it. I love my babies so much. Silly and Biggie.

I insert or add a small scalloped circle in-between Happy , 1st and Birthday. And it is super cute!

I used the double adhesive tape to the cut-out letter to add some dimensions. Using the Fiskars Sweat Pea Clear stamps button and Studio G White for the stamping. I used the Satin Sensation for the ribbon. And I like this brand that I bought. It is 3/8 inches and 15 yards.

This is the door sign. I would suggest that there should be a door sign if there's a celebration happening to your house or a place. Because it is a Christening and 1st Birthday I use the description as "Blessed day".  My husband suggests that I should use the solid color for the balloons. Hmmm maybe next time I will do it. 

I really like my birds here. I put some dimension on the wings and tails.

And of course the materials are from ACMoore. We are so lucky that time because the ACmoore has 50% off on their bazzil cardstock. Would you believe on that! Oopps I forgot to mention my Pink CGull that always assist me to "lift me up"!

Happy Blessed day!

My Wish(es)

Though it is not yet Christmas but I am starting to say my wishes and I really wanted to have it. Like a kid I have things that I wanted to have. But due to not working and our budget is not enough I am waiting for the good timing. My greatest virtue is I am very patient to have "my wish/es". And I gonna have those in good deeds not in wrong doing.

What are my wishes?
1. A job! Of course..I should have a job so that I can buy what I want and when I want to buy it. Send money for my family and not waiting if we have extra money or budget.
A job is the most important so that I can do the buying and selling. I am in two online auction and I know how to do the pricing. I have lots of ideas what I want to sell.
A job so that I can save money for our future and I can visit my family with my own expense.
But if I have a job I wanted it near to where I lived. Because I do not know how to drive. Though we have now extra car that I can drive but the problem is it has lots of things to do with it. And I need to pay my insurance.
     I wish I have a job and / or money so that I can apply a job anywhere.

2. Now if I have a job then have an extra money then I would start the buying and selling. I've seen those "moving" that selling their scrapbook things. Every time I saw these I said "I should have money so that I will buy those and sell it". I know there's a money on it. And some items I will use to continue my paper craft business.

3. For my Paper Craft business, I am going to continue doing it. I love making cards, banners and decorations.
         3.1 I will and it is included in my wish list is to have and or buy COLORED PRINTER. I have printer here but only for black that's why my card is very limited. I can't print the font or message in colored. The printer that I wanted to buy is the Epson WorkForce 545 All-in-One PrinterCopier/Fax Machine/Scanner

        3.2 I will buy a Lifestyle Craft Letterpress Starter Kit. I like those result that prints and press. I had already a Bigkick machine so I don't think I should buy the pressing machine. And I love my buddy Bigkick!

         3.3  I will or not invest or buy cardstock in online store

Bazzill Basics BAZL-P-4005 Bazzill Prismatic Cardstock 12 x 12 Inch - Case of 25 (Google Affiliate Ad)

         3.4 I want to have any Embossing Heat Tools.

4. I want to become a "Drop shipper". I am in Papercraft world and there's a lot of supplies or craft that looks cute and very useful. And for me I want to sell it. Like the Lawn Fawn, the Martha Stewart, Sizzix, Cuttlebug, Darice, Uchida and so so. I want to sell those but I do not want to look for the supplier. If I am going to sell scrapbook supplies I want to direct to the manufacturer.

5. Oh i love shipping my items. It makes me happy. Printing the invoice and shipping labels. And it is also included in my Santa Claus wish list that My Papercraft business and some items in eBay would be prosperous. I want to become a successful business woman.


hmmm I forgot what else.. I am praying I can get a job near to my place.

Baby Shower Banner for a Boy

Hello everyone again!

It's been a while that I didn't post here. Well, I am busy.

Remember my It's a Girl Baby Shower Banner?Well, while I am out of town or in Florida with my husband there's one customer asking for a version of banner for a boy. 

There's lot of design in mind that I want to create but this one that has a collar is the one that I want really to make. I was challenge. Good that I have scratch papers for my samples which cut and fold and sizing if it is good for banner. When I got the right size then I said this is the correct size pendant for my banner. But I noticed I will have only 2 cuts for 12 x 12 cardstocks. So I think again how I will do it. What I did the collar was not included on the polo shirt on cutting it. In my Silhouette Cameo program, I edit my design. Cut the collar on  it and put some wholes or circles as my stitching guide. So on the 12 x 12 cardstocks instead of 2 polo shirts I have now 3 cuts of polo shirt in 12 x 12 cardstocks and 1 piece of collar only. After my Silhouette Cameo cuts all the shapes including the collar I fold it and use the DMC thread to sewed on the shirt and the collar. In my design, I wanted to include the sewing design/style/technique. So I sewed the collar and shirt plus the sleeves. It is so cute on personal. 

Let me say, in this design I want to incorporate the the polo shirt design, stitches technique and the assorted cute button. 

It come up like this. These are so cute. I used the DCWM cardstocks. Special patterned and glittered or dry embossed cardstocks.

Each pendants measures 7.74 " and 5.50". I used the nylon dot ribbon size 5/8" only.

I really love this banner. My version for Baby Boy.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting

Coupon

We went to Acmoore, Shrewsbury NJ. It is great that I have $10 off when you purchase worth $25.00. Before we off I check first if I save coupon. I check on my emails and that's it. Only for August 30 I can use my $10 offd. What a great day isn't it?

My husband help me to locate where are the products. The store change their layout for school supplies buyers. My husband asks me what are the things we are looking or buying. So I said cardstocks only for boys. And we look around. I thought I will be empty handed and he keeps saying that "maybe it is on the wrong placed." So I check each pile and voila! One of the cardstock was put on top of the DCWC for Baby Boy. And we look around again because I need to buy or get more so that I can use my coupon. Then I have Darice Embossing folders. I like it so much and cheap. Embossing powders and the Double Sided tape.

Oh I love coupon so much and I love Acmoore.

Christmas Banner#1

Hello everyone! I am here again for Christmas preparations. Now I am starting for a banner. I'm done on creating a samples so now I will start making a banner out of those sample pendants. 

I ask my husband which of those samples he likes so he choose the one that has an oval scalloped shape but there's some changes. Like the flowers. He prefer the holly berries. And the font should be more solid color. He likes solid colors. 

So for this Day 1, actually I start last night writing my TO DO'S. Using my Silhouette Cameo machine it or I cut first the berries. Because I'm going to put red glitter and Glossy accents on it and dry it for an hours. 

So, below pictures are my berries. It measures .75". My first time doing it. Some were flats and some were good. I overnight drying it. 

These are materials I used. I am going  to like the Glossy accents. I got this idea from tutorials. Thanks ladies who always uploaded their videos on Youtube. I bought the Glossy Accents in Acmoore, Shrewsbury. They have that size and it is on SALE! The red glitter is from A and P shop. The cardstocks from Staples.

Happy Crafting!

Preparing for Christmas.

Would you believe that I am now preparing for Christmas?When the summer comes I am thinking or planning that I will make a Christmas craft earlier. Then because I am IN in the group of Tophatter and crafts  I found out that they are now preparing and starting for Christmas. Whoaa!!!
My brain is running and thinking what would be. I have lots in my mind so when I start holding my tools oh my everything was jamming like paper in the printer. I have to hold on and relax so that it will come up good, right?
So I am planning to make

1. Christmas Banner a "Merry Christmas". I will have that, of course, in our apartment, my family in Philippines. And I'm gonna ask my in-laws if they want.
2. An enveloped for money or we can "ampaw" in Philippines. This is difference most especially the print design. It would be Christmas spirit. Because when I was in the Philippines my family always bought that has a Chinese characters logo. I need red paper not a cardstocks, right? And I need a stamps something Christmas.
3. Christmas Cards with Enveloped.

So in this day 1, July 19, I have now a sample for banner. A miniature for a banner.

From Silhouette Cameo image and the green stocks embossed using the Cuttlebug. I spray the green cardstock using the Perfect Pearl Mists Sour Apple from Ranger. It comes beautiful. First I used it bought from Michaels. I love it so much. Punch using Recellections. So lovely. I don't have snowflakes so for the meantime I will use that. And adhere it with Rhinestone. By the way, the size of this is 3x4 inches, My miniature sample banner. Oh I really love it. I hope when I finalized it it would come up to my expectations.

I used the Recollections premium cardstock Red, Green and Brown. For the glitter is from DCWV The Glitzy Glitter Stack 24 sheets from Michaels. I bought my rhinestones in Acmoore and Tophatter.

I love it so much!

If you have any suggestions you are welcome to post your comments. 

Day 2

These are the pennants that I finished when I continue. 

For every pennants of I want to make a different style so that I would know which is the best. 

E is something white and snow only. I wanted this to be like in a wooden grain stamp but because of my limited budget I used my Texturz Sizzix plates and inked it using coffee bean. 

For R, I want to put the poinsettia flower on it. I am thinking which is best if it is the coffee bean or the white around the petals of the poinsettia.

When I am doing my craft I noticed that I am not on my focus. In my mind I have this design but while working on my design it always changes. Or might be, my eyes telling me the design was not fit to the style. My eyes and my mind were contradicting to each other. 

Still more to go..

Day 3

Another design for this season. I saw some designers used buttons on their cards. And while I am thinking what would be my design and adding the buttons on it then i saw a designer adds buttons on her cards. so I said wow! and now I add buttons on my Christmas banner. 

This design was not on my list. But I saw this shapes on my box so I said why I used this shapes. That's it! A lovely and elegant pennant for this holiday season.

Happy Crafting!
