pimpin the wedding bike (i like!)

 another post for my friend's wedding :)
it took a lot of time for me to decide on how to go about the decorations for the wedding give-aways. i know it has something to do with quilling but i didn't know what to do after attaching the quilled flowers. lol Thank you to my ate's suggestion --- the tulle. it added a really nice touch to my finished project.


before and after photos :)

scrapLOVEbook (daut and twum's wedding scrapbook)

twum and i wrote down our to-do list for her wedding and came up with the idea of a scrapbook instead of a signature frame...

this is where family and friends of the couple can write:
- messages
- (suggest) a name for their soon-to-be baby girl or boy
- pick-up lines

i can already imagine the smiles that this'll bring to the newly weds...

:: scrapbook cover. it's my first try to quill letters and i love it. :)

:: quilled vines and flowers

:: scrapbook cover photo before guests can write their messages

:: the couple will be asking their friends to suggest names for baby boy daut or baby girl wynsum :)

daut: did you WYNSUM or lose some?

wynsum: siempre WYNSUM

daut: baket?

wynsum: kasi pangalan mo palang, pang Pope na... di ba, FRANCIS?

happy quilling everyone... love, love love !

Special Project_Valentines Day Card 02.14.2013

Breaking news : Sold out V-day cards...
 and that's because i only made 5 of them. lol

since i got so addicted to tri-shutter cards, i didn't even have second thoughts in granting a friend's request to make a Valentines day card for his wife. i told him he can pay me the cost of the materials but he gave me Php50 instead.

and because it's my first time to receive a monetary reward out of the projects i'm making, i am posting zo's valentine's day card for his wife, jen...

colorful shamballa bracelet

i learned making shamballa bracelet in youtube. i was not able to save the link but if you type in "shamballa bracelets" you'll find a lot of tutorials for this craft.

i know it's a bit difficult to find the materials here in Cebu but i found everything in (drum roll) ... Carbon market =)

•  abaca
• beads (at Aizilyn)

and here's my finished product 

:: you can also make a key holder using the same technique in tying the beads

make your own artploration too ! =)

God bless!

Christmas "tadaaah!" cards

they're really called "pop-up" cards because of it's extra surprise once you opened them =)

i made my first tadaaah! card (lol) on Dec 17 and enclosed it with my Christmas gift for my boyfriend. it's just simple but nothing can go wrong with quilling; it'll give your projects a magic touch.

:: cover page

:: added cut-outs from a Christmas gift wrapper

the second card was given to Nice's godfather as a thank you gift for Christmas...

 

 

making your valentine's day more special

i didn't have enough time to make Christmas cards so i'm doing this project for Valentine's day instead.

now that i'm comfortable making tri-shutter cards, i did 3 samples for sale and sent this home. sam (my boyfriend's sister) will take care of the upselling for me or i'll end up giving these cards for free. lol

i hope we can make 3 baybayanons' Valentine's day more special with our cards.

Advance happy heart's day everyone !

:: we've added an "instruction" to post a photo on the last fold of this card
