Be My (Belated) Valentine?

Happy Tuesday!

Excuse my late Valentine's Day post as I'm enjoying my time as a newly graduated student :) I received a letter today from my university saying that I completed my program and ready to graduate in a couple of months! I'm so excited!

But first, here's a Valentine's Day card that I made.

Happy Valentine's Day

Tools and Supplies used:

♥ White card stock paper
♥ Blue printed paper by DCWV (The Sweet Stack) - Glittered by me
♥ Valentine's Day stickers by Martha Stewart
♥ Red with white polka dots ribbon from Daiso (Ribbon #267)

Mom, It's Your Day! Happy Birthday!

Family and I celebrated my momma's birthday on Monday. I made two cards for my mom this year! The first one is a random drawing of the family wearing some kind of party hat? haha Don't ask, I drew this around 3:30am :P

Good Morning, Happy Birthday!

This is her second card (see below). I love everything about this card! The deep purple, lace, pearls, and lime green embellishment match well together. Most importantly, my mom loves it too!

Happy Valentine's Day

SFU Origami Club + a litre of sunshine

Oh my, I haven't posted anything since the beginning of January. I'm having a difficult time balancing school, work, and other personal obligations…so bare with me until I find some ways to manage my time better. This is kind of funny (and embarrassing) because I presented a workshop on Work-life Balance last semester...don't tell my instructor! :X

Anyway, SFU Orgaimi Club is selling handmade ribbon roses to celebrate Valentine's Day! ♥ Last year was so successful that we're selling them again!

♥ Location: Simon Fraser University, booths in AQ
♥ Dates: Now until February
♥ Time: 11am - 3:30pm
♥ Prices:
     $2 for a single rose
     $3 for a deluxe single rose
     $30 for a dozen (12) deluxe bouquet
♥ Lots of colours to choose from! Check out their website.

ALSO, I'll be selling my handmade cards on February 1st and 4th! I made a few cards for Valentine's Day so I'm excited to show them to everyone :) There will be other cards for different occasions, of course. Here's a sneak peak of a card that I made today:

Kissy Fishy
Everything was heart shaped, but most of them were cut in half.

If you're going to be at SFU during those days, drop by and visit me and the executives from the Origami Club :) Valentine's Day is coming up so be sure to buy a rose and a card for your special someone!

By the way, if you like to read comics, check out my brother's new website: Ms.Yen: Angry Japanese Women. Most of you guys will be reading this post on Monday, so if you need a good laugh, read my brother's comics :)

Have a wonderful week!

Craft Projects for Valentine's Day!

Valentine’s Day is less than a week! I love this day and it’s actually my favourite occasion to make cards! Something about heart shapes, pink/red, and glitter makes me want to rip open my craft boxes and start making cards! I didn’t have time to craft last February, so I will make some cards this year!

I don’t know what to make yet, but I found some Valentine’s Day projects that looks pretty fun to make.

1. Heart Shaped Frame Card ♥
   
   Adding a photo of you and your sweetheart is a great way to personalize your home made Valentine card. Go see Fiskars’ website for more pictures and six simple steps to make it!


2. Hearts and Blocks Valentines ♥
   
   The more hearts you stamp the better! This project requires white art erasers, but you can easily make your own stamps by using heart shaped foam paper and glue it on a block (just like rubber stamps and clear blocks). You can find a list of materials and instructions in Martha Stewart’s website.


3. Folding Hearts ♥
   
   This is too cute! Just cut a fat heart from a paper that has a white side and a patterned side. Write your message on the white side. Fold the two sides to the center. After that, fold the top down just above the middle and fold the point up. Next, turn the envelope so the flap is at the top. And lastly (the best part), seal with a sticker! Another project from Martha Stewart.


4. Valentine’s Paper bag Mailbox ♥
   
   I loved making these when I was in my elementary school! My mailbox was always heavy!...not from receiving Valentine cards, but from all those decorations I added onto my mailbox! haha. Visit Dollar Tree for simple instructions...you don’t need to follow their instructions for this project. Be creative! :)

Happy Crafting ♥
