Welcoming the new year

Hello everyone,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope you have a great new year ahead :)
Do you have any resolutions or words for 2018?
I have a long list of both...hoping to get through them as the year goes by :D

Well...one of the resolutions is also to get back to crafting and start using all the pattern paper I have hoarding...
So I sat down to make a few new year cards to give to my friends and family.
This is my first card of the year...I layered some pattern paper and these cute puffy letter stickers (new to my stash).

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Geometry on my mind

Hello everyone,

I am extending my GD stint at Daring Cardmakers for another month...Hurray! :D
The dare this month is to use at least three elements from this picture on your card

Isn't this picture fabulous...I am loving the colour theme...
I have chosen the colours, mint triangles and metallic criss-cross lines...to create a geometric pattern on my card...
Also the pattern paper has leaves...

And here goes my pathetic attempt to capture the shine of the golden marker...lol...

I have used Bielo cardstock from TheCraftShop, pattern paper from Itsy Bitsy and sentiment sticker and Pilot Gold paint marker from a local craft shop

Lucky Clover

Hey everyone,

I am back with the next dare at "Daring Cardmakers". The dare is to make a Good Luck card.

And you get extra brownie points for anything that goes with superstition : chimney sweeps, horseshoes, lucky clover...

The Design Team members have made fabulous cards for this dare...Do check out their creations here

For my card, I went with the lucky clover...

A weird angle shot to show the dimension of the origami hearts...hehehe

Anyways, I made those cute orgami hearts using papers from my stash...
I used Papericious Wooden Collection for the frame...love this woodgrain paper pad....
And that cool sentiment is actually the outline of a sticker from a local shop...

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Flower
Case this sketch - Inspired by the sketch
Crop Stop Linky Party

Neutrals...

Hello,

I find it amusing how I got through phases of a colour theme favourites...sometimes I create cards only with rainbow colours...sometimes only blues...sometimes only neutrals...does this happen to you too?

Right now I am in the neutrals colour theme phase...
Cards with a neutrals colour theme make great masculine cards...

For this card, I have used a pattern paper I bought recently...I am in love with the pattern on this...it also has some copper foiling on it...
