Happy Father's Day

A quick recap of my last week activity as a member of the Scrapbooking & Cardmaking Malaysia; where the theme of card swap for this month was Father's Day Card + Extra. 

The swap category includes an exchange of a blank father's day card to the partner assigned and to send some small portion of craft supply such as embellishments, tapes, ribbons and etc wtih the expected value between RM5-RM10.

Due to my nature of work where I need to work outstation, I was late for this card swap. So sorry to my assigned partner for the delay. It should arrive to her by now... For the craft supplies, I've sent to  washi tapes to my partner in separate mail and here's my take for the Father's Day Card with lots of stamping (Hero Arts stamps) and foam tapes were used to add dimension to the card, 'hard translucent plastic sheet with some silver glitter on it' (I'm not sure what to call it. You can see the background of the card below), translucent colour papers/vellum, die-cut heart shapes, glossy effect, red twine and some jewels for embellishment.

That's all from me now. Hope my partner will like it. Wish you all a Happy Father's Day!

- Off to work and Happy Crafting!

It's Daddy's Day

Last week, I made a card with Dotted Swiss Bazzill's 80# Cardstock (Salt), with pop-up letters (using my newly bought Helmar Zapdots), freehand cut of the pink and red heart shapes and I added some red buttons on the upper left and right corner (wanted to create an illusion of a tie. Not sure if it works. Can you see 'it'?). Oh, and I forgot to mention that I got my Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die By Tim Holtz-Upon A Time Alphabet!! Now you know where I get the die-cut alphabets from. ;)

I had a great time participating the biggest charity durian fest (Jom Durian V) in Subang Jaya on Sunday. It was a 'celebration and contribution' day for those who took part on that day. The objective of the annual charity event is to raise funds for the Children's Wish Society of Malaysia. 

So, how do you celebrate Father's day? I hope you all had a great time on Father's Day!
