Pokemon Themed - Garlic

After so many months of lazing off the card-making workstation, I am proud to present this Pokemon themed birthday card for the June baby.

Highlight of the card being the centerpiece - PokeBall!

It is almost impossible to tell that I used 99.99% recycled material here! It's made from recycled namecards (which I have two tall stacks waiting to be wasted) with the printed side covered with scrap envelopes (which I have two even taller stacks waiting to be wasted as well).

And the secret within the PokeBall will give you a big pleasant surprise~! Well, after all I have been working on the cross stitch during that two months. I must admit that, cross-stitch definitely is time-consuming, but the result is totally worth it! (Especially for people like me who can't draw beautifully.)

As usual, finished the card with a little short letter. But this time, I added a little something for the envelope. Turned out to be fairly good. Not sure if I would actually invest in a good dedicated heating tool for better effects. Well, for the time being, Ta-Da~

And the final touch - the Wax Seal! Bought the seal stamp and a couple of wax stick from Daiso. Though I'm still new at this, it worked out beautifully!

Gonna be flooding this blog with some updates soon. Since I've completed a couple of cards during those months. So hang on there~!

Mario Card - Anniversary

Took a super-duper long break from both blogging and card-making. One of my usual 'hiatus' that I constantly neeeeeeeeed.

So I shall be posting on this long-due card for our anniversary. A simple one-sheet card with Mario as the theme. This is the first time I actually added cross stitch to my card-making. But with the recent relapse of cross-stitch-addiction, and the previous yarn/buttons card, I could almost see this coming before.

The husband pointed out that Boo (the white ghost at the bottom) would never scare/face Mario like that, and thus the tag-line. Also, the pink frames were added to cover up some accident, or rather some unexpected effect of the fabric glue. So yup, there's always room for improvement. Gratefully, everything turned out rather good.

Will definitely be keeping cross stitch in the card-making, so yeah, stay tuned~!
