TRIshutter Card: Wishes for the BABY!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t and Happy Thursday,

Congratulations to all future moms and dads, all over the world!

I wish you all a good health and care as you wait for your little bundle of joy.

I'm sharing my one and only baby themed card that I made few months ago. I think I've been very busy making other things and I kept skipping the post for long enough. I know I should't do that, sorry.

"NICE things feels GREAT when we shared it on time"

The MOM couldn't decide what color to use for the card, it's either girl's pink or boy's blue, plus she was not so sure about the gender of her coming baby, so I combined both colors, in soft ways, creating the romantic mood to the card.

I use my favorite paper roses in bright pink for this card. I really want it to look like a small window decorated with three small size roses at the edge of the circle. A very warm welcome I guess (^___^)

I really love the cute images of the stroller, toys, small oven and little bun in there, with those cute smiley faces. They're really got me smiling too because they're too adorable.

 "There's a bun in the oven"

The idea of placing the little book at the middle of the card was to create a special photo album for the DAD. He never got chance to see all those ultrasound images from the beginning of the pregnancy, as he was working far away. So the MOM wanted to present, all the images well, chronologically, in a special way that the DAD can see their amazing baby grown in her tummy. I was very touched by the mom's intention. I believe that she had been through hard time without her husband near. 

I use simple saddle stitch to tie all photos together, chronologically.

I never kept my ultrasound images of my three kids this way. In fact, they're still in my pregnancy books. This is COOL. I think I should make an album like this one now (^,~)

"You are my sun, my moon and all my stars"
and
"I love you to the moon and back"

"Don't raise your kids to have more than you had,
raise them to be more than you were."

I think that's all for I have for you now.
Please look forward for my next posts of everything handmade.

Have a blissful pregnancy,
Thank you.

Wedding Guestbook: Nadirah & Hafifi

Assalamualaikum w.b.t and Hello all,

      

Congratulations to all newly weds. May happiness be with you all till JANNAH, InsyaALLAH.

This is one of my favorite wedding guestbook that I made on April (-_-)

Yeah, you're right! I shouldn't keep all these pictures in my folder and silence. My bad.

Anyway, let's enjoy the pictures!

I think turquoise are really popular and trending nowadays. Turquoise papers, flowers, fabrics, ribbons, threads, zippers, buttons and even pearls are no longer hard to find. There's bunch of everything turquoise in store! I personally love how it looks with the purple ribbon bound through the book.

the proper response is turquoise”

I use my favorite paper roses in cream for the book. I really need something bright and wide to be the stars of the book, so the medium size roses would be a big help. Plus, I also add a black paper butterfly on top of the roses, and a bug on top of the love-shaped tags.

Adorable Anniversary Wish for Deary!

Assalamualaikum and Good Day,

Congratulations to all married couple in the world, especially for those who's celebrating anniversary!

This is another trishutter card that I made last month, a PINK PURPLE theme card, with mixed flowers this time. Unlike handmade paper flowers, artificial flowers are sold everywhere and they're a bit more easy to handle. So it is LESS SPECIAL than a paper-made flowers, I guess.

but through being the right mate"

Alhamdulillah, this is actually my FIRST try on 'bigger' paper roses. YES, they're bigger than paper roses I've made before. It took almost 5 months for me to study on these paper roses. I start with asking people, watching videos, read, staring at those pictures of high class paper roses, plus a lot of imagination, yes! It takes a lot of TIME and EFFORT.

Even when I finally found the right ways on how to make it real, still, the rose is just too tricky for me to start. It's a TRICKY rose, but yet very PRETTY and I love it. So I fall for it again. They are not yet perfect but I believe that imperfection makes them special. "Perfection is BORING" by the way (^,~)

These sweet couple in the pictures are my friend, Lily and her husband. They had their 2nd anniversary last month and they're expecting for their first child now. Bundle of JOY is on the way (^__^)

I really like the center part of the card. The idea of placing a blank card there was to give nice space for her to write speech or love notes for her husband. I used Belinda's Border stamp set from Lawn Fawn to create the love lines at the bottom of the card. I also use the same love lines for the other section of the card, to relate and to balance well.

"Love does not consist in gazing at each other,

but in looking outward together in the same direction"

~ Antoine de Saint Exupery ~

I used several pictures of them to match up with the card and decorations, but I can't really decide which one fits best, since I really want my lovely blank card to stick onto the center, plus, all those pictures are really nice. So I think it's best to let my friend do her part of choosing which suits them best (^___^)

"Every LOVE STORY is beautiful but ours is my favorite"

So that's ALL for now. I really hope you enjoy your stay.

Thank you and have a blissful marriage!

Simply, Friendly, Birthday Wishes!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t and Good Morning,

YES, I got to admit it. This is my favorite birthday card that I made so far. It may not as hard as typography quilling, not as good as trishutter card and surely not as strong as easel card, but I really love this card for how simple the card is and how much time it took for me to get the idea of making it look this way.

 

And for the reason, I hardly let go of this one! A card with very friendly colors. It's great to put little things up, here and there, combines all things possible to make it right. I use almost everything that matches, from my stash. It's like a SCRAP challenge for me and I got to finish it on time.

To be honest, I rarely choose blue (of any kind) or blue-like papers or pattern to work on but everything happened to blend well this time. I really like my turquoise card stock that I bought long ago and I really want it to match the vintage dark yellow pattern papers that I found from my collection. So I added more papers of close tones, white and brown fans, blue roses and yellow daisy, also white bows, banner and pearl.

“I’ll write the word blue in green and when I ask you what color it is,

the proper response is turquoise”

It is super not-easy to manually cut all those circles, but that is the sweet way of creating different patterns on card, with less tools and less materials. 

"If you LOVE someone, put their name in a CIRCLE,

not a heart, a heart can be broken, but a circle goes on forever"

"Do what you can, with what you have, not what you need"

My favorite part of this card is the white 'frame' that I made using Belinda's Borders stamp set from LAWN FAWN, such a very sudden idea that turned out to be PERFECT and also the white fan and blue roses had balanced everything. OKAY!

A very short, simple and quick note to get a date (^___^)

LAST but not LEAST,

I think that's all for now.
Thank you all and have a blissful day!
