Hello ..

I'am back again today :)
I know, everyone have been waiting for the winner of day 15 Magnolia advent calendar .. but before I announce who is she .. (because all comment from ladies hee.. hee..)
Let me share my {another} Christmas present this year.

 

ta raaa  .... 

looks like I can't stop to play with this winter dies, yup! I don't want to wait until next winter to play along with it, so once again I used that wonderful winter scene dies from Magnolia dies club vol 7


For the window I use Vintage Frames, and adhered a piece of vellum for frosty effect.


 

if you want to make the packaging like I did, it was just simple.
I cut a piece of card stock with  6 x 10.5" 
Score on the short side at 1.5" , 4.5" Score on the long side at 4.5" , 6" 
Cut a window shape on one side, fold and arrange that box with open side on the top, punch a small hole and tied it up with ribbon or twine.




I just made one box, because the other handcream are mine .. lol!!  I just love to use handcream anytime I have a chance! yeah .. that's one of my habit :D :D
Because I love these cream so much I want to send a happy thought to my my best friend and I think I would love being creamy together with her!

ok .. ok ... time to announce!!
the winner from day 15 is ..

so I can forward it to Magnolia Sweden soon, again .. Congratulation!!




I wish everyone a Happy Christmas !
May the love, joy and peace be with us, Amen.

Magnolia Advent calendar day 15



Hi! and welcome again to another Advent calendar .. and it's me that will serve you for the 15th shutter today.
I don't know why but this year I am so exciting with lots of present, and in love with the winter mood :)
This shutter will contain lots of pictures about a gift set, errr.. sound like a warning isn't it ?
ho ho ho ..
okay, please take a sit, relax and enjoy my shutter ...


I choose a theme for my gift set , it calls "Christmas with the beautiful sparkling frosty heart"


First, here are the tags that I made ..
when I created them, it just silent on my room and I heard on of my favorite Christmas song ..
"This is Christmas" by Celine Dion
I cut the tag manually with 2.5" x 5" shape and I cut a piece white paper with DooHickey winter scene  (Dies club vol.7) then adhere it on the tag with fun foam to make a dimensional look. and I am not forget to give an evening winter feel with Brilliance soft gold using a blending tool.
I do not dispose  the rest of the stars but I am using them to get a beautiful sky on the winter evening.



as you know, I can't resist with these cute girls, I stamp 3 of Tilda holding heart from A Lovely Christmas collection 2015 and guess .. why I color their shirt with 3 kind of colors ??


 
okay ... before I give you the answer about the 3 colors, that are my tags  with all Tilda.
look! they also have 3 kind of twine colors and every color was matched with Tilda's shirt.


more closer ...
the one on with purple was inspired from "Frosted Plum"
and the green was inspired from "Glazed Apple" while the red one inspired from "Frosted Cranberry"


Ho.. Ho.. Ho..
do you smell something ?? no ?? really ??


yess .. they are the inspirations!
I really want to bring someone a warm thought, and  I think on this Christmas a dear friend of mine really deserved it
I made a box, just simple box nothing fancy at all . but I dies an oval shape in front of the box and decorated it with snow and trees


Wrapped them out with a vellum and I stamped some of snow randomly with white pigment ink.
They are ready to fly! and I am hoping so much they will safety arrived and my dear friends will love them as much as I do.


Each will be get a set like that, with a harmony color and scent .. I just love to pack those gifts!

Okay,  .. that's all from me hope you guys really can enjoy what I serve today and don't forget to leave your words or may be your short story about the Christmas around you ? It would be a beautiful sharing ;)
and remember there are some presents from Magnolia everyday until the end of this December .. don't miss it!

I will be back soon with the winner ..
Thank you so much for visiting and Have a beautiful December everyone !!!


Merry Christmas from Indonesia,

Joyful Christmas - Using fun foam for stamping

Hi !!!
Christmas will be coming very sooooon!!
are you ready folk ?


Today I am happy to share what I am doing if I have to make lots of tags but I found no time longer to sit and doing some coloring.

 

I decided to make a simple design tag, and when I was searching a decoration stamp along my Christmas sentiment I realized that all my ornament stamps need a coloring, goodness! I can't coloring that much.. 

Ok, how about dies cutting ..I also don't want to roll up my big shot machine over and over on this limited time! So, I  grab a piece of fun foam and cutting it up with DooHickey Vintage Mistletoe.

 

First I cut a piece water color paper, I use Canson XL due I need a lot tags as well as I want to do some loose water coloring for my tags. I used my MISTI tool to stamp the sentiment because I want all stamped on the same position, I am using versamark and embossed it out with Ranger liquid platinum embossing powder. After all my tags have their sentiment I make a color-wash background using my Winsor and Newton pan - Violet. Next I temporally adhere my mistletoe using temporally tape, that fun foam is very flexible so all I have to do is lay it on my tags and pick it up with the acrylic block then I ink it up with Zig Clean Color real brush and using it like a stamp.


With that technique I was able to make many tags on my limited time, so guys I wish I can provide you an inspiration if you need lots of tags for your Christmases things with less of stressful on this holiday crowded :) I hope!!

And that's all from me today, I will be back on couple days very soon so I am hoping so much I can see you again!
Thank you and Have a wonderful December everyone!!!!!

Christmas will be coming soon!!

Hi !!!

It's me :) and it is good to be back :)

As Christmas is just more weeks ahead, today I wanna share my Christmas card and because it was so simple I hope it could be an inspiration to you if you want to make huge of Christmas cards this year ..

I didn't put too much embellishment because I want to send all my Christmas card not in a bulky envelope, but I still decorate my card with Christmas feel.
I stamp the image not in full size, so I covered the edges with washi tape before I stamp her. after I color the image I put it back on the dies and blend it carefully with soft gold ink from tsukineko.
The two beautiful big snowflakes are cutting with DooHickeys from the club vol 7
Gorgeous paper also from Magnolia, and my card finishing with hemp twine and some sequins.

I hope you'll like my card and being inspired!
Thank you so much for visiting my post today, Have a lovely day!

August random post

Hi there!

I know that I am missing sometimes from the blog and in the real life I am away from my craft desk too .. oh my .. yup! there are a lot of matter that require me to pause from my hobby for a while, but sure it wouldn't take some ages too .. LOL!!!
I missed this crafty world and also this coloring world is a place for me to relax from the hectic period.

But, I am so sorry that there is no card yet to share here due I have to search my mojo and to recharge my mind :D
I have another thing though to write down here ..
When I am starting to clean my work space I find some buddies that will help me out to bring my mojo back.
