Personalized Banner for a Baby Boy Version

Hi everyone!

Here's my personalized banner for baby boy. 
There's a customers in eBay saying how about a version for a boy? Hmmm I been thinking that too. So, I make a design first in my baby Silhouette Cameo. Then went to Acmoore and Joann's Fabric and Craft for cardstocks for boys.


So that's it I got this DCWV cute cardstock that is glittered and printed design that suited for my design. There's an assorted colored buttons and floss thread too. Ooops, before I forget the collar. I bought also a cardstock teal color at Staples because it's kinda thick. And last the blue dotted nylon ribbon,


For this banner, the customer choose only the shades of sage, teal, brown and blue. On the original design of this banner it has red and orange. She did reminds me of the stitching and collar. I love it!


Even the buttons I stitch it. Because I want to show the thread on it. I want it to make it as real polo shirt. 
The reason why I placed the letters at the right side is because of it reminds me real shirts logo. It was always at the right sides. Though stitching is allows you to give time I really do it. Even in collar I stitched that too. I want cute and different.


I added assorted colored buttons and stitched the sleeves. I have also collar that will look like a polo shirt. Though it quite giving time but I love it when it is finished. So cute!




I added bow made of cardstock too. I learned that bow from the websites that teaches you how to make a bow and it has a template for bow, too. In my "It's a Girl" banner I used flower made out of ribbon. But here I used cardstocks only,



Look the design..Isn't so cute?!


The ribbon is 1/4" only nylon. Ribbon is teal color made of cardstocks. I got that idea of making a bow from Youtube and email too.


And this is my Thank You note card for my customer. I love that too with matching rhinestones at the sides.

One of the Cutest Thank You Card that I made


Good day! Here I am again showing one of my cards. My cutest Thank You card that I made. 
These are made from special patterned cardstocks and premium cardstocks. I added ribbon in a different technique and cute buttons. 
I always saw adding buttons on the cards so I said once I am making a card I will add also a button.  So this is it! 
By the way, this is just only a full length size card 4.50" by 5.50"



Before I cut the cardstocks I use my Silhouette Cameo software for drawings. So that I have a guide or template for my design. But in this designs, I didn't follow what's on my sketch I follow my mind to this and that. I said, I want to use my "Embossing Thank You folders" from Sizzix. That Thank You embossing folder was so cute and I am so fascinated on it. So I said I want to have a thank you card out of this embossing thank you folder.
And from the Youtube tutorials and uploaded pictures of cards I saw that ribbon technique bow. It gives me idea. I said again..I want that on my card plus the buttons. And of course the belt.


The scalloped square and oval shapes gives cuteness on these cards too. 


When I am done on layering and adhering these cardstocks I have a little bit problem on the background color. I said I want happy color that will match on that embossed Thank You So Much. So, that's it I used the yellow. The real color of base cardstock is white. What I did, I used the technique of distressing. I used the foam and the Ink It Up stamps yellow color and distress the sides of that cardstocks.

I love and I am happy doing it. And I became more happy when I see the final result of these cardstocks. Finally, the color combinations are good, the prints on the cardstocks are balance as 
well as the shapes.

This Embossed Thank You Cards can be used in all occasions. If interested you can email me here or at det20169@yahoo.com. There are lots of pictures at www.facebook.com/dethsgreetings

Happy Crafting!

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
         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.
