Fall for Chloe

Happy Sunday!  It's been a good week and I've been quite productive!

Today I want to share with you a card that I've made for the Tiddly Inks challenge #168.  The theme for this round's challenge is Fall colours.

For all the Tiddly Inks challenges, I've always been using Wryn's images for the entries as she's just so fun to colour with.  But then other than Wryn, I also love one of the other images from Tiddly Inks.

May I present to you Chloe Darkwing in fall colours!

The unruly hair and the lovely smile just make Chloe such a endearing image to colour! She seems to be always looking for adventures and fun stuff to do!

As usual, I coloured Chloe with my Copic markers and I specially picked out the fall colours of browns, greens and dark red.  They are not my usual choices of colours for images as I prefer brighter and lighter tones of blues and reds.  But I'm quite happy how Chloe turned out!

To make her look extra special, I used my Sihouette Cameo to cut a wreath in brown and added a few layers of  greens leave and some berries lookalike embellishments to give it a more interesting look.

Lastly, I finished off with an short and sweet sentiment "Many Thanks" from the Lawn Fawn Happy Harvest clear stamp set and also the banner that is found in Bannerific clear stamp set.

I though the sentiment with the banner looks a little plain and wanted to add a little more details like a coloured pumpkin or some other embellishments to it but after some thinking, I decided to keep it simple so that the focus can be solely on Chloe and the wreath.

Alright, that's all for now.  I hope you will fall for Chloe as much as I do!  I think she's pretty cute!

Have a great Sunday and a crafty week ahead!

Smart Cookie Wryn Krafty Cookie Bag

It has been quite awhile since I last participated in a card challenge.  So when I hopped over to Tiddly Inks Challenge I was really excited to know that challenge #167 was all about using Kraft paper to create a new card, project, journal page, anything!

So I grabbed my 12"x12" kraft paper and used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out nice cookie box with a window and matched it with one of my favorite digital image from Tiddly Inks!

I'm not sure if a cookie gift bag made out of Kraft paper qualifies for the challenge but then never mind if it's not because I just want to have some fun with cookies and Wryn!

I printed out my digital smart cookie Wryn and have her cut out using my Silhouette Cameo.  Then I coloured her with my Copic markers.

The Sweet Wishes sentiment is from Penny Black's Special Wishes clear stamp set and the label was by using Taylored Expression's From Me to You stamp and die set.  I also stamped all around of the cookie gift bag with Lawn Fawn's Milk and Cookies clear stamp set to give the cookie bag a fun look!

What fun is there going to be without filling up the cookie bag with my favorite chocolate chip cookies with pecan?!  I didn't bake the cookies if there's what you are going to ask (heh! heh!)  I got them from my favourite cookie stall!

Can't helped but I munched almost half a pack of cookies while I was snapping the pictures of this cute cookie gift bag project!

Hope you like what I've shared on my blog today!  Wishing everyone a great week ahead and have lots of fun crafting!

Golden Jubilee Weekend

Happy Midweek everyone!

It's been a hectic golden jubilee weekend for me as the holiday started on last Friday and all the way till Monday but we had a lot of fun!  I didn't have much time to craft or to blog as we were rushing to have all the school work done so that we can thoroughly enjoy the long weekend without worries (:

This year's National Day, also known as our Golden Jubilee was a very special one.  It's 50 years of independence for Singapore and there were a lot of national programs lined up!  

How did we spend our National Day?  Well, we went early to Marina Bay Sands in hope to get the best spot for the special fireworks!

Here are some of the shots of the flyover parade and fireworks to share!

And look how I show my love for Singapore!  I had Patriotic Wryn from Tiddly Inks holding a Singapore flag!  Patriotic Wryn (digital image) comes with a plain clear flag and I had my DH helped me draw the crescent and the stars, replicating the Singapore flag.  Cool isn't it? (:

And somehow I'm glad that all the buzz of celebrations came to an end, and again I can have my personal time when the kid goes back to school.  

Yesterday I spent half of my morning making a birthday shaker card for a lovely friend of mine.  I hope she will like it!  

Here is Birthday Birgitta from CC designs  rubber stamps.  I coloured her with my favourite Copic markers and die cut the image with the coordinating dies from CC designs rubber stamps.  And I also used My Favorite Things Peekaboo Jumbo die to cut the shaker window.  I love this peekaboo die very much and I actually have them in both the Jumbo and regular size!

I like making shaker cards especially when it comes to the part of adding in the beads, blings and sequins!  It makes me feel like I'm a wizard adding in different stuff into a pot making potions!  And I had friends and family members telling me they had fun shaking the cards hearing the sequins and beads shaking!  Cool isn't it?!

That's all for now.  I hope you like shaker cards as much as I do (:  Stay cool and craft on!

Dedicated to Tiddly Inks And For Challenge #162

It has been a hectic weekend and I'm thankful that it's Monday again.  With my 9 year old in school, I can have a bit of "me" time.

Did you see a new badge on the side of my blog?  (:  Yes!  I'm the winner of Tiddly Inks Anything Goes Challenge and being featured in Fab Friday!  I'm so over the moon!  It was my first time participating in a card challenge and I won a prize!  I have to thank Raluca!  If it wasn't for her comment on my Instagram post, I wouldn't have taken part in the challenge and won the prize!  Thanks so much Raluca! *hugs!*

For this week's challenge, the theme is Summer song! And almost instantly I started humming I Get Around by the Beach Boys.  So is this song considered a summer song? 

Here is a little song fact on I Get Around by The Beach Boys ~

I Get Around was released in 11 May 1964 (way before I was born!)  in the album All Summer Long (hey, so it's a summer song!)

Well, it sure makes me think of a riding a Vespa in the summer breeze!  And see who is riding on a Vespa here?! *Round round get around, I get around!*  It's Wryn getting around in the summer on her pink cute Vespa!  *Vroooooooom!*

Wryn Scooting By is one of my favourite image from Tiddly Inks!  Look how cute she looks riding on the scooter with her little friend right on the back seat!  Oh, in case you didn't realized, I've put her up on a pop-up card!

Can you see the twinkle in Wryn's little friend's eyes?  I added some glossy accent again! Ok I think I'm addicted to adding glossy accent to all the images with glasses on them.  I coloured Wryn and her friend with my Copic markers and the cute set of sun and clouds are from the Sizzix Triplits Hello Sunshine (:

And here is the front of the pop-up card.  I thought it looked boring to be left plain and so I decided to spice things up just a little.

 

The cute bunting banner is stamped using Avery Elle Bunting clear stamp set and the word hello is cut using my Silhouette Cameo.

 

And since this post is all about Wryn and Tiddly Inks, I just want to share on my blog the cards, coloured images and book marks that I've done before I started my blog.  I really love colouring images of Wryn and her friends, all thanks to Christy for all the wonderful illustrations!

Ok, that's for all now. Have a great Monday and I hope I will have time again this week for another post on my blog. 

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! ^_^
