Party Like A Pirate

Ahoy Mate!

It's been quite some time since I made a box card and now that I'm putting up a blog post on my latest creation, I realized I've never enter a blog post on the box cards that I've made.

So I decided to share with you today a box card that I've just completed yesterday.  I managed to find the right props and took quite a number of pictures.  It's always a joy to take pictures of the box card because different angles of it will give me different views of and to get the right angle to feature the card in one picture can be a tricky task!

The box card was created using a box card cut file that I have in my Silhouette library.  Cutting the box is really a very easy and quick task with the Silhouette Cameo as all I need to do is get the right file, choose the right papers and a click of the mouse the Cameo does the job for me!

For the stamp set, I'm sure if you are a paper crafter you will be able to recognise immediately that this set of images are from My Favorite Things Party Like A Pirate stamp set!  I've always loved MFT stamp sets especially the ones by Birdie Brown!  They are just so cute and loads of fun to colour!

 

I stamped the images with Memento black tuxedo ink pad and I used my Brother ScanNcut cutting machine to have the images cut out.  Yes you heard me right, I've got the Brother ScanNcut too, as a birthday and mothers' day gift! 

 

Like I said, it's hard to find a right angle to show the whole of the box card and so I took a couple of more pictures to show the different angles.

From this photo you can see there's a little wave that is right in front of the pirate ship.  That's a cut file I found in my Silhouette library and I thought it would be nice to just add it on to show that the boat is riding on the wave.. (well, kind of!)

And this picture shows you how the box card will look when it's being flatten to go into an envelope for easy mailing :)

 

Hope you  like the Party Like A Pirate box card that I've shared on my blog today.  There's been a few enquiries in the past from people and friends who are on my Instagram, asking if I would want to sell my box cards.  And recently I just realized I could have get the license for the box if I want to do so.  Well.. let's just see how things go, yeah? :)

 

Just one more day and the weekend is coming!  Stay calm and craft on!

Another Halloween Card

It's Monday, another new day for the start of a new week.

I just wish the haze will just go away.  It's been like 3 weeks now with the gloomy haze surrounding the little red dot ~ Singapore.  Checking the PSI level has been like a routine thing to do every morning and every hour.

Not able to do much outdoor activities, the best thing to do is stay at home and make more cards! What a wonderful idea!  

The soccer training on Saturday was cancelled and so we have no choice but to stay indoors so I had a bit of free time to make another card-in-a-box.

Here is Little Witch Lucy from CC Designs Rubber Stamps and Dies.  She's all sweet and not scary at all even as she's holding an eyeball! (gasp! Hahaha!)

I coloured her with my favourite Copic markers and I tried to go a little further with the blending and the shading on her witch hat this time round.

Again I used the Silhouette Cameo to cut out the A2 haunted house box card from the Silhouette Design Store and added a the scary tree with the cat to give the card a little more details.  

I love the how the card turned out, love all the "happenings" right behind cute witch Lucy.  With the "Boo" cut out sentiments from the Silhouette Design Store (again!) the card-in-a-box is complete!

Hope you like what I've shared today!  Stay cool and craft on!  And have a great week ahead!

Lucy With Bunnies

Yay!  I didn't wait too long to have another blog entry! 

Today I'm sharing a my card-in-a-box!  When I first saw card-in-a-box at Instagram I'm totally fascinated and wanted to make one badly but I didn't know how to start off.  I went on to YouTube and try to watch a couple of videos but the measurement with the inches (in Singapore, we use centimetres more than inches) and the folding really confuses me!

So how did I figure it out now?  Well, with Silhouette Cameo everything seems easy! 

Here is Lucy with Bunnies from CC designs stamps and dies on the card-in-a-box! 

I adore Lucy, she's just so sweet with the 2 bunnies. And I think the sentiment is just the perfect match with Lucy.  Totally positive thinking!

The box was cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I picked a Easter A2 box card from the Silhouette design store and I also cut out some trees to fill the back of the card so as to make it look a little "fuller" at the back.

I coloured Lucy using my Copic markers and then die cut it with the coordinating die, and after that I just adhere the cut outs on the box.

Hope you like the Lucy with Bunnies card-in-a-box that I've shared today! 

Have a great weekend and happy crafting!

My First Post

This is my first post on my paper craft blog, Yay!

I was previously just sharing my handmade cards on my Instagram  (@sugarbea) and a couple of fellow crafters have asked me to take part in some card making challenges.  I realized most of the pictures of people's work will usually link it back to their blog.  I think it's going to fun to make cards and at the same time have a bit of fun with the challenges AND have a blog too!

So here goes!

Today I'm sharing a card-in-a-box I made this morning.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the box, the gloomy looking cloud and the cute pair of rain boots.  And then I added in Ducky Dance Wryn from Tiddlyinks.  The round sentiment is from a rubber stamp set from CC Design Stamps.
 

I love the digital and clear stamp images from Tiddlyinks as Wryn is just so fun to colour with the Copic markers!  And I'm also going to use this card to enter into #Challenge 161- Anything Goes at Tiddlyinks Challenge Blog.  Hugs and kisses to Raluca Vezeteu (@RALUCAVEZETEU) for liking my card and posted a comment on my Instagram post letting me know about this challenge.

Happy crafting everyone! ^_^
