Butterfly Mini Album

Hi everyone, this is Serina here again. I haven't been posting anything since last year, August 2011. I have been making a lot of mini albums lately, but none of them are really success to the way that I wanted them to be. But, this mini album that I am about to show here is the most beautiful mini album that I've ever made with lots of embelishments and dies.

And also, the reason that I made this mini album is for the contest that I am participated in. The prize for the winner will get $25 gift certificate from Lindy's Stamp Gang . They carry many good products that I have been wanted so long. I don't have any product from Lindy's Stamp Gang just yet, but I will. I hope I will win this contest. ** To help me win this contest, I need your vote** Just click the link here http://lindystampgang.blogspot.com/ and vote for me.......... Thanks for your support.

Graphic 45 Mini Album

Hi everyone, I just finished making my very first mini album using Graphic 45 Renaissance Faire collection paper. These papers are so beautiful and I love love love graphic 45 paper. Here is the album:

I used about two days to finish this album, and really..... this is my first time. Even though it takes a lot of time to complete the whole album, but I have a lot of fun while making it. The 3 pockets with tags inside the pockets are the insert of this mini album. Here is some more pictures:

The album is measured 5.5*8.5 inches. It has a lot of pockets for you to slice notes, tags, photos and so forth. It also contains photo mat that you can display your pictures.

My first mini album, turned out so good and I love making it. I also sell this mini album on my etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/people/LilacCreations?ref=si_pr  I sell this album for $35.00 plus shipping. Please email me or leave a comment if you have any question.

Thanks for stopping by.

Flowers

Hi everyone, I have been very busy lately making mini album and I will post it on my blog after I complete everything. Anyway....... I have a card that I want to share with everyone and this card is also designed for Anything Goes Challenge Blog .

 I made those flower on my own. The paper line that I use for the base here is Butterfly Garden from Pink Paislee and the flowers are from Tim Holtz Shabby Paper .  I use Tim holtz Tattered Florals die to build those flowers------ the bigest flower which is in light pink (three large petals, three medium petals and three small petals). The middle flower-----four of the medium long petals and the last flower is from EK Success punch. The blink that I use here is from Recollections.

It has been an honor to be a guest designer for Anything Goes Challenge Blog for July and I wish there will be many more to come.

If you have any question, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for the opportunity.

Easel Card

Hi everyone, I am back...... This week I am so honor to be a Guest Designer for Anything Goes Challenge Blog this month. This is one of the opportunity that I have been waiting for. Hooray!!!

As everyone knows that I am inspired by Tim Holtz. On this card, I use most of his elements to make it.

Here is the card:

I use one of my Accucut butterfly die to make the base of the easel card. I cut out the heart from medium-weight chipboard using Tim Holtz Heart Wings die. I painted it with red acrylic paint and apply a layer of Rock Candy over it. The wings and the sentiment is from one of the Tim holtz stamp set. I embossed the wings with gold embossing powder and cut those out by hand. The paper that I use here is also from Tim Holtz which is Vintage Shabby and Lost and Found paper stash. On the middle of the heart, I also use one of the Tim Holtz Philosophy Tags that you can get it in Craft Den Store.

Please stop by Anything Goes Challenge Blog to find out more creations. I will see you guys there.

Thanks for having me as a guest designer.

Simon Says Stamp and Show a Word

Hi everyone, I come back with another project that I took few days to put all together..... a Vintage romantic decor. I also use this project to enter a challenge called Simon Says Stamp and Show . I was going to make a hanging decor, I tried to put something to hang it but I like it the way it is.

I adore vintage, collage and mixed media crafts, especially the techniques that apply to all those arts. Every pieces has its own uniqueness to it. I love, love, love it. Here is my Masterpiece......

I cut out 8*8 from paper box and decoupage it with text paper using Mod Podge (I like this technique a lot). The ornate frame is from sizzix. I dry embossed it, painted it with regular acrylic paints. I stamped "LOVE" with one of the Tim Holtz stamp with Fired Brick distress ink from Ranger. You also can see some shine to the "LOVE" because--------I applied some clear distress crackle paint, it also called Rock Candy. I know I put few words there but I would like to emphasize it.

I hope you all enjoying it. If you have any question, please let me know or leave a comment. Thanks.

Color Challenge From Our Creative Corner

I am a new crafter and don't have much experience, all I do now is visiting other blogs, get inspired and create. I am inspiring all of them especially those are the designer for the blogs that I love to read always.

Yesterday, I was reading others' blogs and found out other challenge blog which is Our Creative Corner . The color for this week are:

I think the combination of the color will be a challenge for me. So, I decided to challenge myself and create this card:

This card I completed it today and it just hard to put those together plus I have to use at least three punches, and one of them have to be border punch. Challenging!!! Finally, I like the way it turn out and I am pretty satisfied with the result. I would like to play along in a near future. Thanks for stopping by.

Simon Says Stamp and Show Some METAL

Hi everyone, this is Serina and I have some new card to show to everyone. I am so busy lately because all the card-making contests and fabulous challenge that I will be participating. It will be so fun and I can not wait to see what is everybody going to create. Ok..... This week, Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge is METAL. I like to put different kind of texture and dimension to my cards or projects. Metal is one of them. Here is the card that I created:

I am using Tim Holtz patterned paper, bigz dies (Gadget Gears). For the metal here is also from Tim Holtz Ideology (Sprocket Gears). I used them right in the middle to the die cuts. I hope you guys can see it. I tore the edges and distress them with Vintage Photo Distress ink. I also used the die cut itself to mask the paper and spray with my homemade mist which is also Vintage Photo.

I enjoy creating and have so much fun to learn more techniques from all of the talented crafters and get inspired. Thanks for stopping by.
