Hello Books

My entry for Prakarya Kertas 9 (artsofcards.mulitply.com).

I made this book or album from lunch paper bag.

The basic idea is from "CraftnThings" Magazine this year (2008).

But I modified it with natural color instead of colorful one (the magazine has the colorful one).

I haven't decided yet...whether I will use this book for writing long letter for my sister, or for mini scrapbooking album.

Today I see TEA

Inspired by TEA, Sky Mall Magazine ( who has small mugs..with TEA series words, such as sereni-TEA, simplici-TEA, etc) and also inspired by some cards which were using vellum tea bag in Craft'nThings Magazine Feb'08 or May'08 (I forget..).

Welcoming the New Life

There was always an exciting moment to prepare something for welcoming the new life. The Pink One is inspired by artsofcards.multiply.com, when this site explained how to use two sided pattern paper that we like. I painted the metal pin with acrylic paint. The Blue Teddy Bear was made by following the instruction from The Ultimate Cardmaker Book by Sally Southern & Sharon Bennett. In that book they used pink color, I only adjusted the color according to what I had- the blue color for baby boy.The Last one, I just tried to figure it out my self, wanted to use my new lace-work

Golden Rose

Golden color represents maturity, this golden rose was given for a mature couples who celebrated their wedding anniversary.
Using stencil methods for the rose.

Tiny Yellow Flowers On the Soil

When the fall came, one of my favorite color came to my mind. Brown color...It refers to the soil, from where the flowers and other plants always get the nutrition to live.

Two Layers : Blue Flower

The idea came from my childhood skirt. My mom gave me layer skirt that I really loved to wear. In this soft blue card, I used rub-on pattern from American Traditional Stencil, piercing template from Timeless Touches.

The Strectched Leaves

The greeny leaves mixed with the golden leaves that strectced inside the card.

I used stencil methods (using Delta Stencil Mania template and Folkart Pure Gold Acrylic paint).

Quilling and Piercing

Some of my piercing and quilling cards :

Ebony & Ivory, In Harmony

This is my entry for Event Prakarya Kertas (PK) @ multiply.com. This event was intiated by Dian Yustisia . Dian Ekawati is the moderator for PK VII: Ebony and Ivory.

After reading Paper Crafting with Carol Duvall Book, I started to collect the used envelopes, especially if the inside of the envelopes are patterned. In that book, Carol Duvall made a card using used envelopes, she made a beautiful card with flowers from the envelopes papers.

I made this card using the puzzle punch from EK success. Puzzle is a component of whole picture, we have to see the whole picture to understand what a piece of puzzle's role. As well as our life, there are difficulties, sadness ,challanges, we'll know the whole meaning after we put it one by one to its places.
