the Gardens

I was thinking of posting this tomorrow, but I was just too excited making this project that I wanna post a blog for it the soonest. So, here it goes. The theme for this project is 'the Gardens', I browsed through my favourite arts& craft books, and found a few things that I might wanna used for the theme. Well, it is mostly Invitations Cards for a Garden Party, but there's the Flowers,Bees&Butterflies Chandelier which is still underconstruction and I will not put in together for this post. Just wait and see these couple of days, if I can manage to finish it and I'll try post it the quickest I can for all viewing.

In the intro, I did mention about the art book that I refer most doing this craft. If you can, buy the book! It's an interesting book if you're excited 'bout making Cards and Gift Wrappers. Wanna know the name of the book? 1) Handmade Gift Cards by Cheryl Owen and 2) Creative Gift Wrapping by Gill Dickinson. Find it, and you wont be disappointed! I'm sure...

Alright, back to the project. The first Craft that I made is the 3D Flower Cards. It's so cute, and pretty, and nice to be set as a Door Gift, Invitations, or a simple Table Centre Piece, if you like. As for me, I would like it being an Invitation Card. There are 3 types of design that I made, a simple Daisy, double Daisy and also Small Weed Flower. I jazzed up the Flower Pot by putting a wood cover made from Balsa Wood.

The 2nd type of Invitation Card that I made is a sort-of like a 3D but it looks 2D at the same time. It's a 1 Flower Piece Card, and there are 2 types, a White Daisy Folded Card and a Sunflower 1 Piece Card. I specially made this interactive by making the Petals rotable. You can play with the Flowers! Its a rather simple design front but I really like the flowers! Wow, Im so flower power today~..

Tell me watcha think 'bout the Invitation Cards I design, and I hope you all like it. Do give some feedback as I will try to improve my art skill and will present it to you! Have fun browsing through and wait for the next project.... Flowers,Bees&Butterflies Chandelier. Im still working a lot on it, so, I will post it soon.Tuddles~




Perfect as a Simple Present too~!

PotPourri Wonders

At last, something to write about just before my blog officially turn 1 month old.. Haha! That's very melodramatic of me.. Well, yea.. I've been very busy,obviously, Hari Raya and also other stuff (Not to mention many OpenHouse Invitations that I couldnt make it). Therefore, less time for Crafts time that I get for the past 3 weeks. And now that I have spent ample of time making stuff, I finally have something to show to all.

(Sorry, for the elaborated intro) As the Blog title is PotPourri Wonders, Ill be showing the art I made using my mom's old PotPourri. It is actually a dated project that I made few years back(when most of my holiday time is actually staying home). Was have the thoughts of making it at bulk for selling purposes tho. I guess the dream didnt come true. The art was just left inside the box. Poor thing. As for lastnite when I was looking for my Circle Template(didnt find it either), I found the PotPourri Art I made, and was obviously thrilled that I've managed the retrieve it. So I decided to take the pictures and let you all see.

Alright.. alright, more on the project rather than blabbing! The project was actually decorating a few of the Wooden Picture Frames(you can find it in IKEA) ,that I have loads of it at home,with potpourri, all around the frame. For the 1st frame, I used normal UHU glue but it was taking a long time for it to dry so, instead I'd used glue gun, which is way more efficient. Thus, I've created a fews designs and would like the pictures do the talking. Its actually simple tho, not much effort done, but I would like to share it with all and gain some feedbacks.

You can totally create one yourself. It is so freaking easy. You just need some creativity, and you're set! You will not only get a pretty looking Picture Frame, but as the same time, it smells nice too... Try it! Cheers!
