Imaginarium Designs - Tags & Cards

Hi, everyone. This month at Imaginarium Designs, our theme is creating tags and cards. And I made this tag for my hubby as Valentine's Day gift.

"My Sweetheart" Tag

For the chipboard tag, I painted both sides with light grey acrylic paint, stamp background swirls with ink and distressed the sides with distress ink. Then I layered a smaller piece of patterned paper using chipboard negatives to make full of scraps. 

For the chipboard "Kate Doily", I painted it brown then add brown glitter glue. I cut this doily into half and adhered slightly behind the patterned paper. Done the same with the Prima flower and added the flower centre. Love the peekaboo look.

For the chipboard "Denises George", I painted it with yellow ochre paint and added clear glitter glue. Added Prima flowers to the centre. And I positioned the chipboard in a way that it looks like a double heart. Also added Pink Paislee ephemera. 

For the chipboard butterfly, I painted it white and added clear glitter glue. Love how it sparkle. I folded the wings up slightly before adhere down to give it a more 3 dimensional effect. Lastly I added half pearls randomly across the tag.

For the back of the tag, I done the background the same way as the front. Added some stickers for the wordings and flowers. The chipboard clock is also painted white with clear glitter glue. Then I adhered 2 Prima flowers on it.

I hope you enjoy the walk through of how I do this tag. Do hop over to Imaginarium Designs to have a look at my fellow team members' projects. Have fun.

Off The Rails Scrapbooking - "Carefree Dream" Canvas

Hi, everyone. Happy Chinese New Year in advance to all. Busy month with preparations, shopping etc for Chinese New Year and to add to it, my son down with flu bug at same time. Hope he recover as soon as possible especially when Chinese New Year is just 3 days away!!!

This month at Off The Rails Scrapbooking, we have a lovely mood board!! Gosh!! I love the colors!!! It just reminded me of freedom and travel somehow.

And our sponsor this month is Pam Kuhn from Kazazz. She will be giving the February winner a $25.00 voucher, with free postage to anywhere in Australia, you can spend up with Kazazz.

And here's my take on the mood board:

"Carefree Dream" Canvas



One of my dreams is to lead a simple, carefree life travelling light (aka no burden of finances, career, family etc) around the world(or in countries that I love like Korea and parts of Europe). It seems so impossible to achieve nowadays. Especially about the no burden part. Well, its still my dream. And I also dream of cycling around on a shabby teal or pink bicycle, exploring places that tourists won't go (meaning areas where you find the locals). I think this is the more difficult part of my dream: I can't cycle. LOL!! Got to learn and oh boy.... my dad gave up teaching me.. LOL LOL.

So when I see this mood board, it just reminded me of this dream. And I got to make a mixed media canvas depicting this dream.

I applied gesso randomly across page,  spread texture paste over a bricks stencil and added teal acrylic paint randomly with palette knife. Then I added some mists and green acrylic paint randomly. Stamped parts of canvas before adding the diecuts, mesh, the picture cards and the embellishments. End with adding some watercolor splatters across page.


I love these picture cards from Typo. Added the titles rubons before inking the sides.


I also added some gesso on the edges of the flowers and metal charms.

I hope you enjoy my project. Do hop over here to see what my fellow team members had created and join in our February challenge. Have fun.

Hi, everyone. Love is in the air this February over at Imaginarium Designs. Do hop over to experience the love.

I have been married for more than 10 years but can you believe that I'm still working on my wedding layouts?? :P yup.... and here's what I made:

"Now & Forever" Layout



For the background I gesso randomly. Then I spread fiber paste over stencil, misted and stamped with swirls stamps.




I used Graphic 45 papers for the cutouts. For the chipboards, I just randomly dabbed with gesso and mists while leaving most of it raw.


I love Imaginarium Designs chipboard titles. They are so beautiful and perfect for a romantic page.

And here's the chipboards I have used:

Imaginarium Designs - "January Is All About... Chipboard"

Today I'm very excited to share my first project with Imaginarium Designs.  Woo hoo... Adore the pretty chipboards!! And here's what I made using a 6 by 6 inches canvas.

"Fairy" Canvas

For my first Imaginarium Designs project, I wanted to make something that represent me. So I used what I love as the theme. I adore fairy, secret garden, butterfly, pastel colors (my favourite: light teal and pink), crochet and lace. I love sweet shabby chic style. And I love mixed media. And yup, I'm a stencil and texture paste kind of girl. :)

I love the intricate design of Imaginarium Designs butterflies. And best of all, they come in different sizes.

Here you can see how I do the Imaginarium Designs Denise's Curved and Denise's Fern mini chipboards.

For instructions of how I do the canvas, please hop over to Imaginarium Designs Blog.
