The Power of CARE Bear

This is my not my first handmade photo frame but is my first time I did this for myself.

I bought this QuicKutz limited edition Teddy Bear dies from JDA, instead of using the normal brown color, I turn it into blue...my favorite color and also it matched the Care Bear too. The different here is the heart was held in his hand instead of on his stomach...

The cost of doing this frame is quite cheap as I bought this wooden frame from Daiso, which is just $2.00.
This is the wooden frame, is empty and is flat and that is the reason I bought it.

First I applied the Mod Podge on top of the frame and after that I put the pattern paper on top.

This is the back of the wooden frame.

My hand was holding the stand, is a very simple frame.

you can see the glue on top of the wooden surface.

After I paste the pattern paper, I used Broken China Distress Ink to ink the edge and tone down the color.

Once the pattern paper settled own I started to layout my favorite picture and the bear. The alpha set that I used is Nutmeg and is also from QuicKutz.

I did the embossing for the balloon and the alphabet...this embossed effect was so great and it came out from my new Epic Six...the result is super...you must have it...

Simple and easy to make...

Penny Black 1998...

I just completed this coloring by using color pencil and Sansodor as the blender...

This rubber stamp was the production from 1998 and of course again I get it with the help from JDA.

I'm going to use this to make a card for one of my friend.

I have another 5 same series rubber stamps and I will review one by one once I completed the coloring.

I hope to buy more and I really enjoy of the coloring...

Stay tune yah...

My First X'mas Card for 2009

Challenge - Stamp Something

Brown

First of all, welcome me back to Fusion of Arts...is has been a while I'm away from my craft work. Feel good to be back here.

This is the 1st X'mas card that I did for this year and I used mostly stamping method by using Hero Art collage stamp and also Penny Black's Music Background. The paper that I used is DCWV and this was last year's release. I like this paper as I can use the different cuts here to bring up the vintage feels.

I like this distress and vintage methods that I applied here, is very different as most of the time when doing a X'mas I will only think about red, green, blue and white.

And of course I won't forget the reindeer from QuicKutz, I used reindeer cos of Santa...both of them are together...right?

I'm looking forward to my next project...hopefully I can squeeze some time from my busy schedule.

TiMe...

Ever since I startedmy new port folio, I really gave up my time to work...I have missed lots of blog challenges and my crafting time.

I really hope that I can get more time to go back to my craft making.

But...I am not far away from this...I keep updating the new products from Hero Arts, Penny Black and QuicKutz...this have to thanks to JDA....kekekeke...

Now I'm in the process of completing one fabric doll. Hopefully I can finished it by this weekend.

After this I'm going to dig out some time to restart my scrapbook album...

Here are the Precious Moment that my Friend bought from Taiwan. Too bad this wooden rubber stamp can only buy from Taiwan and no other place in Asia. The reason is because the copy right issue.

Of course I like these stamps. I hope that I can go there and grab some back ne...

I have not try with any coloring yet, so I was thinking should I use water colors or just color pencil and sansodor...

I have not master Copic yet...

Anyway wait for me, after all the refresh and rejuvenate...I will "settle" it...kekekekeke...

Taking a Break...

Oh yes, I will be away for a week time as I'm going to unwind and distress from heavy workload. I'm visiting my parent at countryside, good food...and more fruits as now is the season for all kind of tropical fruits.

I'm going to celebrate my birthday as well...yes with my parent.

Hubby currently is too busy to walk away from his work...well, that will be fine.

So tomorrow I will be going to airport alone and hopefully I can go online there..."cross my fingers ya"...

Uniquely Singapore

This scrapbook was required by my company, they need something about Singapore here to present it as a gift to our new office in China, Guangzhou.

The whole concept for this scrapbook is to bring out Singapore as a unique Garden City and some famous spots as well. I have Singapore Flyer, Orchid, Singapore River, Merlion, Esplanade and Singapore Airline...

I use the shallow box a s a frame for this scrapbook. The good thing about this box is you can do lots of 3-D effects, like the flowers and butterflies...

All the flowers all I used are from Prima.

I managed to get some nice photo from Internet as well as the founder of Singapore, Sir Stanford Raffles. I like this sketch image, I printed in photo paper and used the Vintage Photo Distress ink to make it look "old".

I used total of 4 layer of pattern papers as background.

On the top left, you can see there are 2 Durian fruits, yes these Durians I used the Lion head's Quickutz to tun into it...very fun, small lion became small Durian, big all to be a big Durian...kekekeke....

At the bottom before the wording, I put a tiny Singapore map, I got this QuicKutz dies from JDA, Freddie gave it as a free gift on last year National Day purchase. I'm so happy that I can fully utilised it now.
