A Concertina Card

This month I participated in a challenge of a papercraft group on a social media network. The challenge is to make a concertina card or it is also known as accordion card. This month also a month when a very good friend of mine celebrated her birthday. I used the event to create a special card for her, A Concertina birthday card.

As it is a papercraft event, the rule is to use 75% paper as the material. I used a pink cardstock as the card base thta I folded in 3 sections. The front part of the card is layered with printed cardstock that I sew on the base, then I embellished it with my homemade embellishments which is the letter E and commercial ones. The second page is where I wrote my birthday wishes for her and the third page is a little paper pocket to put the birthday present. She loved this card so much that she put it on her table at the office :)

Hope this card can inspire all of you to create  special cards for your loved ones for their special occasions.

Embroidered Saying

Finally I finished this little embroidery project. Actually, this is a project together with 2 other friends. Each of us will make an embroidered saying and one of us will put them together. It is gonna be a wallhanging as a finish project which will be given to another friend as a farewell present. Mine is an embroidered heart that I made as stems of flowers. Then I put tiny felt leaves in between flowers. I used pink shades 2 holed buttons as flowers. Curious to see it???? Here you go ...

So what do you think????

Nice Find

Etsy is my favorite place to browse on the internet. I can spend hours enjoying other people's adorable creations and it still amazes me how people come up with those creative ideas. Talking about other people's creation, I came across this sweet store. Here are some of her sweet items :

1. Cute mushroom house pincushions. Those who are pincushion lovers, don't you love these sweet little things?

2. A placemat set. Look at her dainty work on every stitching she did. She also has some other design on placemat. I can tell that they are all handstitched.

3. Wooden flower embellished brooch and ring. How creative she is to turn these wooden embelishments into a brooch and ring.

4. Wooden batik envelope opener. This is very unique. We usually find fabric batiks, but wooden batik?

If you happen to browse the internet and visit etsy website, it is worth to check this store. It is call Sya La La store on etsy.

Winter Hat Makeover

After seeing 2 pairs of mittens I made for her twins, a friend asked me to makeover her winter hat. It was a plain dull black commercially knitted hat. She gave me a freedom to do whatever I wanted to do with the hat as long as there were flower or flowers and a little green color. Great!!! Flowers are always my favorite to make. So, check out what I came up with.



 

Thank you for visiting
