Digital Stamps for Holiday Crafts

2011-12-18T22:53:00.001+08:00

Assuming your done with your Christmas Holiday crafts and cards, here are some New Year digital stamps for you to play with. :) Hope you have fun with these!

Happy New Year Sentiment

Happy New Year Celebration

Has anyone ever told you that the longest Christmas season is celebrated here in the Philippines? :) Yep! We're in the Christmas spirit as early as September and the festivities last until middle of January! And most of us celebrate the season through family reunions. Which is why the next few days are going to be a whirlwind for me. My family's coming over and I'm playing hostess. ;) I love the part so it's all good.

So in the spirit of Christmas, I'd like to share three things that I'm most thankful for..
- I'm so thankful for a wonderful, supportive family.
- I'm so thankful for a job that allows us to live the way we do. No, we're in no way rich but we're blessed with everything we need plus a few more. God always provides.
- I'm so thankful for new-found friends from all over the world.. Friends who have shared their time and talent. Friends who make me feel so appreciated and encourage me to keep doing what I do. It's been a wonderful year with all of you.. Thank you. :)

How about you? What are you most thankful for?

Enjoy the holidays everyone.. And may we always remember the true meaning of Christmas. :)

Merry Christmas!!

Little Christmas Angel

2011-11-08T23:55:00.001+08:00

Hey, everyone!

How are the Christmas preparations chugging along? It seems like only yesterday that I asked about Halloween stuff and now here I am asking about Christmas. :)

Anyway, I'm back with another Christmas freebie! Hope you enjoy this pretty little angel.. :)

I'm putting together a pack of around 20 Christmas digistamps that I'm planning to offer for an insanely low price of $2. :) Why $2?

Hope you'll follow my little blog along so I can update you when the kit is up for grabs! :)

In the meantime, here are the links to Lettering Delights' Freebies of the Month - three gorgeous Christmas photo cards! Simply layer with your family's photo and voila, you're good to go. :)

The Christmas Fun Alphabet is also free for this month and you can get access the "Try-Me" tool on the same page as the photo cards. To save your word, simply click the Save button on the lower right corner of the "Try-Me" tool.

You can find the "Try-Me" toolbar at the upper right corner of the window. See creative arrow below. hihi

Because Teachers are Loved

2011-10-28T13:44:00.000+08:00

It's a known fact that, most of the time, government or school budget is low and teachers simply have to buy teaching aids at their own expense. I have an aunt who teaches at a government-run school and you won't believe how often she has to buy school materials out of her own pockets. The most frequent items she buys would have to be teaching aids such as charts, illustration materials, etc.

It is for this reason that I simply have to share this generous offer from Letter Delights. Lettering Delights has always been known to be very supportive of you, our dear teachers, and for a long time, it's been giving discount privileges for those who purchase any of its digital goodies. I have to say, this offer tops all those privileges though. Makes me wish I'm a teacher. :)

Christmas Card Ideas and FREE Digis!

2011-10-25T10:25:00.005+08:00

Sharing some handmade Christmas card ideas and Free Digis!

Hello all! I know you guys are still quite busy preparing for Halloween but I hope you won’t mind if I take a step forward and be in the Christmas spirit to share some handmade Christmas card ideas. J I love, love, love the Christmas season! Everything is so beautiful and of course, we don’t call it “the season of giving” for nothing.

So I’ve started making handmade Christmas cards to give to loved ones. Allow me to share a bit about who this set is for.

To Granny, With Love

My granny has been one of the most important figures in my life. For as long as I can remember, I cannot recall any instance when I didn’t have her support. Back when I was in grade school, she cheered me on during quiz bees, rehearsed speeches with me and was always, always part of the audience whenever I got demented and joined dance presentations and contests (Nope, I wasn’t good at it). Haha All throughout high school and college, her love and support has always been there. Even now that I’ve grown up, moved out of home and gotten married, and even now that she’s moved to the US to live with my aunt and uncle and the last time I saw her was when I got married last year, we still talk on the phone and update each other frequently. She sends me lots of stuff that she knows I would need for starting a family PLUS she sends me lots and lots of stamps, designer papers and embellishments! I told you she was supportive. J She’s the best.

My Granny

So to celebrate her and everything she’s been in my life, I decided to send her a pack of handmade Christmas cards to give to friends and family for the holidays. I know it’s not much but she has constantly sent me crafting supplies but never seen any of my projects (She and the internet are not really good friends). This would be a good start, right? And of course, I'm sharing these Christmas card ideas (can't get enough of those!).

Christmas Card Ideas

I call it the Peppermint Sparkle Christmas Card Collection. Tongue twister, eh? It’s named that because I used papers, graphics and sentiments from the Lettering Delights Peppermint Holiday Collection and because I added rhinestones to each and every card for added sparkle. The Peppermint Holiday Collection is gorgeous and I think I had the most hassle-free card-making session ever! PLUS, it’s Dollar Days for lots of holiday-themed sets including this one! This means that almost everything is on sale for only $1!! I took advantage of the opportunity because based on what I've heard, this only happens twice a year! :)

Peppermint Holiday Collection

Hurry, sale ends 10/31/2011 Sale: $1.00 per set

I love and recommend all the sets I bought but if I had to choose just one, I'd pick the Peppermint Holiday Expressions for its versatility. You can use them for card-making, scrapbooking, altered art and any other paper craft project that comes to mind! :)

Peppermint Holiday Expressions

Hurry, sale ends 10/31/2011 ~~$4.00~~ sale: $1.00

In the spirit of sharing, let me leave you now with a new set of digistamps that I made a few days ago in the hopes that you will find some handmade Christmas card ideas for them. :) I'd love to see what you make and I hope you'll link up! :) Thank you for everyone who left comments on my previous freebies! You make me want to make lots and lots more! You're all awesome..

Okay. So you know the works: click on the images for their full size and then save.

For Christmas card ideas and a whole lot more, please visit my new card-making site, Let's Make Greeting Cards.

I’ve also uploaded some FREE printable Christmas cards designed by my friend April of Artisan Designs. You can download and personalize them for free. That should be fun! J

Happy Holidays in advance!!

Freebies for Handmade Cards

2011-10-09T00:38:00.000+08:00

Hey, everyone! After an overly-extended hibernation, I'm back with a new digital stamp freebie for your handmade cards and paper craft projects! Without further ado, save away!

While we're on the subject of FREEBIES, you might want to grab this offer from Lettering Delights. It's a gorgeous graphic set that you can cut and use on handmade cards and other craft projects. It's up for grabs until 10-16-11, after that it's going to be sold for $4. :)

Thanks for dropping by today and have fun with your freebies!

More Freebies for Paper Crafts

2011-07-11T18:47:00.003+08:00

Got a few more freebies for your paper crafts.. Hope you find some use for them. I believe they'd work best if printed on white paper. You can color them with markers then cut them out and add them to your paper crafts. I'm not sure if they'd pixelate if you print them on patterned paper but you're welcome to try. Please let me know how it went so I can improve my next digis. :)

Thank you to everyone who linked their cards to me. I so love seeing my digis on your beautiful creations!

And thanks to everyone who left comments on my previous freebies! You guys are awesome. :)

Digi Freebie

2011-07-05T09:16:00.001+08:00

Hey, all! Sorry for no freebies posted for a month! Been so busy with work, the other blog and now a new website! :) Yep, busy, busy, busy!

Anyway, hope you find some use for these digis.. :) Enjoy crafting!

Hi!

First, allow me to invite everyone who has not yet participated to join in my blog giveaway which is ending in a few days! It's easy and free to join and an awesome prize is up for grabs! Click here for more!

Got a word art for you all today. I think this would best fit any-day or just-because cards. :) It would be fun to color too.

Hope you enjoy this one and I'd love to see anything you created with my digis!

For Cards and Crafts: Key to My Heart Digi Stamp

2011-06-02T09:46:00.000+08:00

For your cards and craft projects.. A graphical way of saying "You hold the key to my heart". :) A digital stamp you can resize, print and color over and over again. :)

Hope you have fun with this one! :)

Free Tree

2011-05-30T22:26:00.000+08:00

Hi, everyone! Dropping by to share with you another freebie! :) Got inspired by a tree from Nikki Sivils so I tried to make one myself to share with you all..

Happy crafting, all!

Welcome Home

2011-05-20T10:03:00.000+08:00

Hey, all! Hope you're having a great week so far.. Me, I've seen better days. Got a lot of things going, deadlines to meet and stuff. But still thankful for my job. :)

So on to free stuff!! I designed this digital stamp a while back and forgot to upload it.. I planned to draw houses to go with it but unfortunately, I haven't found the time.. Maybe on the next post, okay? :)

Hope you'll find this of use! This would really look pretty if you can cut the edges with scalloped scissors! Just a tip. ;)

Thanks, all, for the kind words and the awesome support!! :)

A Flowery Thank You for Your Greeting Cards

2011-05-16T19:12:00.001+08:00

Hi, all! Soooo sorry for another long absence from blogging. My new blog, Beautiful Craft Spaces, is taking quite a lot of my time. But I'm having fun and I hope you'll drop by to take a peek! :) I also have a giveaway going on so.. well, you might want to check that out too since you're obviously into crafting or making greeting cards or scrapbook pages or paper crafts.

I'm giving away 4 issues of Simply Handmade magazine to one lucky winner!

I'm telling ya, these beauties have enough projects in them to keep you busy for a whole year! Click here for more details.

Thanks so much to everyone who commented on my last post. I'm still deciding if I should make another blog or just reformat this one for digi freebies. :) One thing's for sure, I'm giving away more digis!! I hope I'm not the only excited here. LOL

So for now, I'll leave you with this one..

And in the spirit of gratitude for your comments and support, here's a sentiment to go with the flowers. :)

I'm quite enjoying this digi freebie business. Although I can't really call it a business. LOL But I love it because I get to share stuff, even if they're just digis..

Thanks for dropping by!

A Freebie and A Giveaway! Cool huh?

2011-05-05T21:52:00.004+08:00

Hi, all!!

Got another free digi for ya all! But before that, let me personally invite you to join in my blog giveaway!! I'm both excited and scared because it's my very first time to offer one so I hope you'll join in! It's actually on my other blog, Beautiful Craft Spaces. And here below is the price up for grabs! Not one but FOUR issues of Simply Handmade (ARV $60)!! Pure inspiration!

These have enough projects to keep you busy ALL year! Hope to see you there!

So on to the freebie! A lot of firsts for me.. first giveaway and first digi freebie that I drew myself!! Believe me, it wasn't without difficulty. I guess it shows. LOL Hope you'll be able to use it still!

One more thing before I end this post. You think it would be great if I open a new blog exclusively for free digis? I'm quite enjoying this digi freebie stuff and this blog here is for my projects... So. You think it could work? I can't promise to upload a new freebie everyday though and I won't be able to give you any of those gorgeous digis with dolls, cute kittens and puppies and other complicated stuff.. Just simpler ones. Hmm.. Well, let me know what you think! And please don't forget my giveaway! Kurly-Q is kinda looking lonely there being the only one in the game. LOL Hope you'll give her company! :D

Thanks everyone!!
