This is the late Christmas post. I made a simple card for someone by hot-gluing buttons and decorations to a red card, and cut out some green borders to go with it. I bought a lot of buttons recently. They are so versatile! I'm quite fond of the big tubs of value buttons. I'm finding …
I did make a card for Mother's Day as well, but I've decided to generalise here, as it can be used for any occasion. I wanted to practice quilling some more. Here, I made a simple flower motif by combing teardrop shapes together. Next to it is a flowerbud, which is a single teardrop with …

I got back from home just yesterday. For this year, I only made a simple card. It's a small square card with a colourful dotted pattern and an origami heart on the front. I like putting ribbon bows on my cards a lot, it's a little habit of mine, haha. I need to get yet …
And so another Christmas has come and gone. Christmas is always a good time to get crafty. When putting up the tree, you can decorate it with handmade decorations. Make your own cards to send to people. Make things for people as presents, and even make the gift tag that goes with it! I remember …
Announcement: I moved to my uni room last Sunday, and I begin lectures on Monday. I expect to be busy! But not too busy for crafts, hehe. My boyfriend's birthday is soon, but two problems; he's working on that day plus the whole weekend, and I already moved out of town. We'll have to do …
Hello all! I've recently come back from spending my 2nd anniversary with my boyfriend. For the occasion, I made him a personalised card; nothing too complicated, I just put together some pretty papers with a theme in mind. Want to make it yourself? I've add a few progress shots after the big photo. The patterned …
