Happy birthday to nephew #1
It's nephew #1's birthday today so I'm sharing a birthday card,,,which also happens to be the obligatory weekly cute animal card *LOL*
Yep...this fellow was lurking around in my stash (October Afternoon from eons ago..hehe). Don't you love shopping in your stash for old stuff that feels "new" to you again? :)
Monday
Make Stuff Monday - quick upcycled decorated Christmas giftbox
Is it time to decorate for Christmas yet? *winks*
Today's Make Stuff Monday is a quick upcycled decorated Christmas giftbox.
I started with this sturdy black box with a pull-out red drawer (you can see the ribbon tab in the photo) for a necklace.
I covered the lid of the box with patterned paper and then added stickers. :)
Happy week ahead friends! :)
Friday
Friday's quick decorated project
Just a quick project to share today... an upcycled decorated box. :)
Yep, I've been challenging myself to keep things flattish for ease of storage and post.
I started with this sturdy Kraft box from Fresh (contained reusable bamboo cotton pads).
It's amazing how patterned paper can easily prettify anything eh? *winks*
P/s: Happy weekend friends! :)
Thursday
Florals on a Thursday
Happy Thursday friends!! It's a public holiday here today so I played with watercolours *yay*. Really enjoyed painting the glass vase. :)
Wednesday
A quick decorated paper bag project
Happy Wednesday! Here's a quick decorated paper bag project with the pink/green colour combo. :)
I started with this mini Kraft bag (yes, I got 2 of them!)...
Finished with a patterned paper strip at the base for a little more interest. Super quick project....and I think it turned out quite pretty.
What do you think?
Tuesday
A decorated notebook
So I covered the notebook with this vintage-inspired Graphic 45 patterned paper and didn't want to cover up any part of it with a notecard like I did in my previous decorated notebooks.
I went in with washi tape for a subtle border.
And you can still see the design of the main patterned paper. :)
I really like the subtle colour palette. What do you think?
Monday
Mixed Media Monday - blooms in a pot
Even though I'm really enjoying my renewed love for watercolours, I'm still a mixed media gal at heart. Meet today's Mixed Media Monday - blooms in a pot. :)
Here is the piece with just watercolours....a little flat because there isn't any contrast.
Did I want to slowly add more layers of watercolours to create the darks? Nope. So I went in with a black acrylic paint marker for the darks. And a white gel pen to add highlights. That's the beauty of mixed media. :)
Happy week ahead friends!
P/s: Playing catch-up this week. :)
Friday
The last cute animal card from scrap bits
Well, the time has come friends. All good things must come to an end. Presenting...the last cute animal card from scrap bits...*dramatic music plays in the background*
It was fun trying to make different cards using the same few animals and scrap bits.:)
Happy weekend friends! :)
P/s: Apologies for being so brief in my blog posts and behind in my blog visits. Something unfortunate happened at home and I'm trying to adjust to a new schedule. More details when I'm ready to share. Thanks for your patience! :)
Thursday
Another abstract floral piece and a life update
Hello my friends! Hope you are doing well in your neck of the woods. :)
It's been a while since I shared a life update...
The COVID 19 cases have been surging despite 84% of the population being fully vaccinated so social gatherings in public places are in groups of 2. Only fully vaccinated people (excluding children under 12) are allowed to dine in or enter public shopping malls. Right not, we have VTLs (Vaccinated Travel Lanes) in place for about 11 countries (No quarantine required with a negative PCR test). Which means that if your entire family of say 5 is fully vaccinated, you could go to Germany and dine out together as a family unit. But you can't do it in your home country. I can't say I understand the logic behind this "rule". Hope your country's restrictions are more logical. *LOL*
Wednesday
Another week, another decorated Christmas tin
Another week, another decorated Christmas tin! :)
Can you tell that I had fun decorating this tin? A pity I only have 2 of these. *sad music plays in the background*
Now...can I get some ideas on what to put in these tins as a Christmas pressie?
Tuesday
Abstract florals on a Tuesday
Hello friends! Hope you are doing well. How about some abstract florals on a Tuesday?
I’m trying hard to get back to my morning painting practice routine because I get to do something solely for me and my pleasure. Self-love. *winks*
Have you been doing anything just for yourself lately?
Monday
Make Stuff Monday - an upcycled box with scrap bits
Today's Make Stuff Monday - an upcycled box with scrap bits. Recognise the fussy-cut blooms? They were cut out from the mooncake paper bag (I had 2!)
I think the quote is pretty apt for a home care package for someone. Maybe filled with treats from different parts of the world? *winks*
I added some trim and washi tape at the edges of the cover of the box. :)
I kept most of the elements flattish so that it is storage and postal-friendly.
Happy week ahead friends!
