EtsyGreetings Valentine Blog Hop

Welcome to EtsyGreetings team's Valentine Blog Hop. Valentine's day is merely 2 weeks away. Have you gotten your Valentine's card? As you're hopping through our blogs, I hope you find "the card" for your special one or maybe inspired to make one yourself. Either way I'm sure it'll be the perfect one for your loved one. 

 For me, the card above is the perfect one. The quote: Grow Old Along With Me, The Best Is Yet To Be, is so true to me. It reminds me of our wedding vows. We might not use the exact phrase, but you know what I mean :-) I love my husband dearly and I really hope that we grow old together, through the ups and downs and always be reminded that we have each other. 

I'd like to pair this card with these miniature houses by Orlydesign. I adore Orly's artworks by the way. Every single piece is a beautiful keepsake. These little houses remind me how together, DH and I had built a family. With a loving husband and a sweet son, I feel right at home, no matter where we are and what we're going through.

  Thanks for hopping by!

EtsyGreetings Holiday Blog Hop

This year EtsyGreetings team is doing a Holiday Blog Hop and the theme is My Favorite Handmade Holiday Tradition. Oh how I love this time of year as it gets very festive with all the bright lights and carols. We love to drive around the neighborhood to see all the pretty decors and sometimes we go up to the mountains to get a little bit of white Christmas. One of my holiday favorites is Eggnog. It's sad that I can't have it throughout the year but come to think of it again maybe I like it a lot because I can only have it during the holiday season and that's what makes it special. Mmm.... A friend has an eggnog cake recipe that she's going to share with me very soon. I think if I can make it right, it will be part of our holiday tradition. But for now, being a papercrafter myself, my handmade holiday tradition is not far from making anything that involves papers. This Christmas Card with our son's picture is a perfect one to send to our family and friends.

I'm also making Christmas Tags. Aren't these adorable? I can't help in mixing vintage and modern style together. Who says we have to stick to just one style, right? The tags are 2"x3". The images and paper are from A Very Vintage Christmas Kit by Amy Jaz Designs. Add some baker's twine, ribbon, and brads and you get beautiful tags.

Thanks for hopping by!

Christmas Cards

Here are my newest Christmas cards. Some of them involved heat-embossing, creating a raised textured snowmen. I added glitters to the embossed powder so that there are some sparkling effect to it. I also machine-stitched to add details.

They come in a pack of 3 and 4, $7.50 and $10.00 respectively. Handmade and yet affordable.

Sale in On!

I've been looking at my inventory and I need to make more room. Plus, I've been drooling over beautiful patterned papers. With enough money, I hope I can buy them soon. The process then continues. I will be able to make more cards with those gorgeous papers and have them available for sale.

Therefore, it's about time to have a sale. I have decided to give 1 item free, excluding destash/ supplies item, for purchasing 4 or more items in my ETSY store. That's right! Buy 4 Get 1 Free. You won't get this kind of good deal with Hallmarks!

Hope to see you soon at my ETSY store!
