congratulations for ate jo-am

Here's a congratulations card for my cousin who just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. This is out of my comfort zone because I used glitter, I don't like using glitter because it's messy, hee! Entered for Sentimental Sundays' Challenge #74 - Step Out of Your Comfort Zone.

I've always loved blue and with the new addition to the family, I got to break out the cutesy baby blue patterned papers. Little dot PP from DCWV, big dot and striped PP from AAS, bling from Divisoria, glitter glue from Japan Home, lace from that notions store in SM Makati.

The sketch is from 365 Cards' Day 209 - Super Sketchy Sunday.


I'm also entering this in Papercraft Star's Challenge 64 - Lace. When I saw the ribbon lace in the notions store in SM Makati, I fell in love with it... got a yard each of blue, pink and beige. The beige looks the nicest, I can't wait to use it.

Entering this in PaperPlay Challenges Week 39 - White + One! as well.

lucky stars

An outer space theme, cool. Love the stars, so here this is, for 365 Cards' Day 204 - Outer Space, Masculine Style.

Stars patterned paper from AAS, ribbon from Carolina's. Used the MM Slice to make the silver stars.
The sketch is based on CPS 237.

sail away

What a challenge--365 Cards' Day 205 - Summer Vacation, Masculine Style. I have loads of summer stickers and stuff given by my friend Yen, but most were girly-girly. This is what I came up with:

I added another layer to the wavy patterned paper to have a 3D effect. What do you think?

L-O-V-E

The challenge was Day 206 - Love, Masculine Style. How to translate love into something masculine? I hope I did ok here:

Not sure why the letters ended up that way, the Slice was ok with 2" letters, but the 1" letters didn't turn out so well. So sad. Patterned papers from Cosmo Cricket and K&Co. Brad and cardstock from AAS. Ribbon from Carolina's.

This is based on a sketch from Card Patterns:

teacher, teacher

This is for my teacher-friend who is celebrating his birthday. I thought that it was quite masculine... after all, masculine doesn't just mean earth colors or dark colors. What do you think about the maroon and yellow combination? This was just in time for 365 Cards' Day 203 - Back to School Masculine Style and coincidentally, Craft Us Crazy's Goodbye to Summer/School Theme.

Patterned paper from DCWV, maroon cardstock is one of my last treasures from the now-closed Papermart, brads from AAS.

the buzz is it's your birthday

Tried to make a bug-filled card to incorporate the words "The Buzz" for our office version of Boy Abunda. Sketch is from 365 Cards' Day 202 Super Sketchy Sunday. I'm also entering the little creatures in Papertake Weekly's Creature Comforts challenge.

Here's the original sketch from 365 Cards:

Patterned papers from DCWV. Cardstock from AAS. I added vellum on top of the background because the pattern was too vivid and busy.
