Card for special Challenge- Paperwork Co

22:08 6 Comments
Hi Everyone...
how are you? hope you are had a fun and busy crafting day last weekend.
My card for today is created for paper works co. This challenge is pretty special.IT comes on four parts and everyday is different challenges. The paperworkCo then will choose the best for each project of the day that end up to be shown in the blog for the people to vote for.
You can actually find the details of the challenge blog at here.
Hopefully my card will get selected ^_^
So me and my Chi Chi memories team which there are 4 persons will be doing different type of challenge.
My  other Chi Chi Memories DT team- Lorraine has comes up with a beautiful card. You can see her card at here.
For myself i will be doing colour combo which is Yellow,Green,Blue and Red.
It is pretty difficult for me because i rarely play with all primaries colours together
However i am still have to face it! so i came up with the idea tic tac toe! ^_^ and the main feature is fredie the elephant bandage

So here is my card for the challenge
Supplies use :
Chi Chi memories digi stamps- Always by Your side
Hero arts- everyday sentiments
Colour : Copic markers,Distress ink-scattered straw
Sticker : Doodlebug alpha sticker
Puncher :Martha stewart,EK Succes circle 1 3/8 "
Paper : American Crafrt cardstock
Others : Embossing powder-white, Pearl ribbon,Flowers,Ribbon,diamond glaze,versamark

What i like from this card is I created my very own pattern bandage ^_^
SO HOW TO MAKE THIS CUTIE PATTERN BANDAGE ?
You need digi  always by your side- fredie elephant  and the bandage all from Chi chi memories


FOR THE ELEPHANT PATTERNS
I use picasa to open fredie elephant image, make sure you shrink it to fit the page
Go to the printer set up find page set up ( Paper size :A4, Landscape)
Go to Page layout printing (16 page printing)
Click all the setting ok,it will send you back to the main page (picasa print page)
Look for print layout-Choose wallet setting
Look for copies per photo- this one you have to click alot ^_^ 16 pages x 9 images per page = 144 times
Once done-Print
You get the background paper

THE BANDAGE
Again i use picasa to open this image. Make sure it shrink to fit
Go to the printer set up find page set up (Paper size :A4,Portrait)
Go to page layout printing (2 page printing)
Click all the setting ok,will send you back to the main page
Look for print layour-choose wallet setting
Look for copies per photo-click 6 times-means 6 photos perpage
Once done-print

Voila you get your pattern bandage ^_^


Another details :
Punch circle 1 3/8 "
Stamped the sentiment use versamark and white emboss it.
Punch martha stewart border and paste it on the back of the circle to create border.
Distress the border use scattered straw
Affix ribbon on top of the circle and pearl on top of the ribbon
Applied glitter surround the circle for the finishing touch

I guess that is it..
Hope this card inspired you
Hugs

What on your workdesk wed...and things to share

00:34 19 Comments
Hi...^_^
How are you? hope all of you doing fine. thank you so much for the lovely comments for the past posts..^_^
As i promise last week. I would love to share how i store my punches.But before that i want to share what have i been busy with..till i got headache because of this...lol

Yay...i have been busy with my newly stamps from ocotber afternoon (well it is new for me coz i just bought yesterday but actually this is 2009 xmas collection-yule penguins). I love this penguin so much and i feel like i must inked it as many as i can..so here 7 pairs of penguins waiting to be paste to the cards ^_^. Guess what colours that obviously not there??
The answer is Violet--^_^. i dont really like violet..lol.
So what is the reason why i go headache just because i colour those cutie penguins? it is because of the marker that i use...^_^..sadly to say copic markers make me headache because of the smell..however i still buy it till today. jus bought another 36 colours just because craft shop nearby give disc 15% which is rarely happen. so i have to grab the chance before the closing date.

Another good finding is below stamp:
I decided to bought this simple stamps set just because one reason..look at the little birdie on the top left..it is soooo cute and funny. when i saw that birdly my evil thought said this stamps suitable for those unfortunate event photos like i made mistake on something or fall down then the birdie laugh at me...lol. sorry hope you all wont get offended..i really simply love the birdie..lol

so back on what is in your workdesk wednesday..
here are the way i store my punches
One of my friend told me to try my best to store the punches in the drawer due to the weather condition in Singapore-Humid. So she mention that store in the drawer with the dessicant packs to absorb the "wetness".

Here is another drawer for my martha stewart collections..
ya ya..i am totally crazy..that is correct with capital C...lol. I also dont know since when this crazy things start...but i simply love their stamps..ans so far i only use about 70-80% of the collections that i have..OMG i guess i should punched more. Oh ya..talk about punched more..i have jsut injured my hand because of trying to safe some scrap papers by punched it for the future use.Haiz...the tought of  want to save money by save those paper goes to drain when i broke on of the puncher that i barely use! very angry..plus that one limited edition. however the puncher isnt from martha brand..it is from fiskar. probably i should leave a feedback to them. the handle is totally fragile. it made from plastic.when it broke i was use it to punch American Craft Cardstock which the gsm is pretty normal-not very thick! huh..so dissapointed!

Another drawer :
EK success is totally rock my wallet..lol. I do love EK Success brand and i believe their quality. however their collections as not fantastic as martha stewart eventhough martha under the same brand.It is applies to the qualities as well. i love the EK Success punches quality. it is always top! ^_^

Last drawer to share:
Random punches is inside this drawer...and I hate the look of the messy drawer.
:P

I promise this will be the last!
All the giant and frequent use punches are located outside for my convinient...(no wonder i gain weight- never move around much). maybe it is the time for me to do stand crafting...:P.

That is it for today...^_^
Next week i will share the DIY paper rack that my husband created for me to keep all my paper stacks..and how i store my loose papers ^_^.

PS : for those who wait for my dog training story..really sorry forget to inform you that on week 2 there were no training due to the weather. And last week..i did not bring camera because of the battery flat...T_T.

By the way
Thanks for looking
