Cheerful Get Well Card

Absolutely Proud of You


This is a card for a colleague who worked very hard for a project which finally won the championship in my bank's internal competition! Wow! This is the first time my division ever got a #1 Position in a contest and I am extremely thrilled!

There are around 200 people in my division. Due to limited available time, I normally make cards for my colleagues for occasions like wedding, having baby or serious illness. Making cards for these occasions (which generally do not happen often for one person) have been manageable to me thus far!

This colleague has been longing for my card, so I decided to make her a card to express my appreciation for the unusual glory she's got for me and my division!

The card is also for the following challenges:

1. Mixed Media Mojo September Challenge - FALL THEME AND USE PASTE
   
2. The Mixed Media Card Challenge #3 – Autumn Colors with the optional element (metal or leaves or both)

     
3. Time Out Challenges #13 Inspired by Words - If music be the food of love play on

4. Just Us Girls Challenge #257 Word Week - Leaves

 
5. Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Lovely Leaves
    

Card Details

1. Music Background and heart stamps are by Hero Arts. Stencils are by TCW (The Crafter's Workshop)
2. Leaves and butterfly dies are by Memory Box.
3. Edge text die and text stamp are by Simon Says Stamp.


Hope this colorful card will brighten your day too!

A Vellum Emboss Wedding Card


This is a card for a colleague who recently got engaged. In old Taiwanese tradition, engagement ceremony is held by the bride's side while the wedding is organized by the bridegroom's side. My colleague happened to follow the old tradition but we all treated it as a wedding ceremony!

I wish the young couple forever love and happiness!

Card Detail

1. The tone-on-tone background paper is stamped by a Hero Arts stamp. All other stamps are by Stampin' Up and so is the Rose emboss folder.

2. Techniques applied are Vellum Emboss and Heat Emboss in silver. It is a pity that the photo did not do justice on the embossed silver parts!


I am also linking this card to the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember® ‘Stamp-It’ Challenge which is to create a project with stamping on it.

Stamptember-Blog-Hop-600x150

2. Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge #183 - Anything That Makes Us Happy.


Seeing young couples to find their true loves makes me extremely happy!

Thanks for stopping by!
