Waffle Flower Challenge Design Team: Merry Christmas

Hello everyone!

Christmas is around the corner!

Today, I am going to share with you a Christmas card that I made for Waffle Flower December Challenge.


The technique of the month for this December is Stamp Layering.


And the inspiration photo and sketch...


I applied three different Stamp Layering techniques for this Christmas card – layering using two step stamping set, one layered stamping and layering of grey pigment ink with colorful dye ink. 

First, I used Good Stuff Stamp Set to stamp the outlines of the bottle and the solid body and lid of the bottle. Then, I stamped randomly variety shape of stars and snowflakes using different colored ink on top of each other. For second and third, I layered a white tag on top of my white card base and stamped on the layers at the same time. After finished all the stamping, I layered a grey colored tag in between. 

Regarding the stamping, I stamped the lined patterns from Tribal Bear Stamp set with grey pigment ink and stamped over the background with colorful dye inks and watercolor strokes.

Now is your turn to have some fun!

Make something new (card, layout, tag, planner spread, etc…) using the stamp layering technique (a must). The use of photo and/or sketch is optional. You will need to use at least one Waffle Flower product to be eligible to win. You could be the next winner!

The challenge ends on 25th December 2015.

Card: Merry Merry Merry Merry


A special friend of mine coming over to my place. I wanted to create a Christmas card for her as part of her birthday gift.

I came across Fusion Card Challenge and I was inspired by the inspiration photo - the colors, curtains, Christmas tree and ornaments.  


Then, I came across Just Add Ink Challenge #291 - Just Add C. My elements of "C" are Christmas Celebration, Christmas tree, Check patterned, die Cut and Curls. That's how I came out with this card!

Little Ze’s First Celebrated Christmas

Christmas 2013 considered as a very special Christmas to my family. It was Little Ze’s first celebrated Christmas.

Little Ze learned the months of a year by remembering the birthdays of our family members. However, none of our birthdays falls on December. Little Ze wondered and curious when I told him Christmas falls on December. He had no idea about Christmas. Later, he came across a book talked about a cat look for his Santa Claus. From there and then, I knew it was time for me to introduce him about Christmas. Well, as what I mentioned in earlier post, I was super busy during Christmas season. In the very last minute, I tried my best to squeeze my time to think of some cute festive traditions that can keep the magic going but yet simple and easy to prepare.

Handmade and Decorate a paper Christmas Tree

First, I made him a paper Christmas tree. I let him punched the circles. After I completed the tree, he helped to ‘hang’ up the Christmas tree topper.



Write to Santa

“What you wish to get from Santa?” I asked Little Ze. “I want a little red car”, he replied. Funny! Red was not his favorite color. Later, I realized he actually make the same wish as the cat which mentioned in the book he read. 


I told him that he had to write to Santa Claus. I involved him to make a card. He chose a few washi tapes from my collection. I cut the washi tapes for him and he pressed down the washi tapes. A blue star was added at the top of the card. I helped Little Ze to write his wish and addressed it to Santa Claus, The North Pole, Greenland, and then I told him I’ll post for him. Too cute! 



Christmas Party on Christmas Eve

We had a last minute Christmas party invitation from a friend. We had a pleasant and wonderful Christmas Eve. We really enjoyed as well as Little Ze. 

My family turned to Christmas mode. 
We were in red and white.

Games for the kids

Baby Hang wanted to have some wine!

We had delicious and tasty food. 
We had quiz session after food.

Hubby Jay won 2 vouchers from the quiz.
Look at Baby Hang! Stand steadily in happy Koko's arm.

Gift exchange session after the magic performance by the host's children.

Ladies night? Mommies night? 
These mommies had fun while the others had their Karaok competition.


Fill the Christmas Stocking

I hung a Christmas stocking at the end of Little Ze’s bed after the Christmas party and filled it with a little red car so that he woke up to a delightful surprise. My aunty and cousin helped me to buy the stocking and little red car as I was busy and no time for shopping. Thanks, Ladies!



On the Christmas Day

Little Ze woke up in the morning. At first he was blurred. After we hinted him to look at the bedhead, he was surprised. He was happy when he saw the little red car. Now, whenever you ask him about who gave him the little red car, he will tell you “Santa Claus!”


During the day, while I bathed Little Ze, I suddenly wanted to listen to Christmas songs. You guess what my Little Ze replied when I told him that? “Mummy, I play ‘Jingle Bell’ by Micheal Bubble for you after bath!” Oh dear, he knew Christmas songs! I was thrilled and my heart melted. 

In the evening (after work), I indulged my Little Ze with his favorite, chocolate ice cream. I served the ice cream with Cranberries and home grown Mulberries 桑椹, banana nut crunch, waffles and stick biscuits. Yummy!

           



We got a few Christmas presents. We unwrapped the presents after Christmas. Thank you all for the lovely pressie!

Tee's First Christmas Tree in the House



Tada! This was my first ever Christmas tree in my life. It was a mini paper Christmas tree. Wasn’t it lovely? I burned the midnight oil to complete this little Christmas tree a night before Christmas Eve.



I never had a Christmas tree in my house before. I was thinking to have a crafty Christmas this year to spread some Yuletide joy.  It was time for me to introduce my Little Ze about Christmas too. Instead of buying ready-made Christmas tree, I decided to handmade one for him and get him involved. I think it would make great memories.

Due to tight schedule, I had to think of something that easy to make. I looked for ideas to make simple and cheap Christmas trees using the most common and unexpected supplies that already have laying around the house, without even having to pass by the Christmas tree shop. It was quite last minute and Christmas was around the corner! Yeah, PAPERs! I had lots of papers in the house. Of course I tried not to use those expensive scrapbooking craft papers but those attached in the magazines or discounted papers. Furthermore, I think paper Christmas tree is maybe the easiest to make.

My version of little paper Christmas tree:

I used pastel colorful patterned papers. I used circle punch to out the papers instead of bell-shaped punch which very commonly used. I had my Little Ze to punch the circles. He always likes to punch. He keeps waiting for opportunity to punch. Well, he was so happy as we had so many to punch.  I wrapped each circle around a round pen or sharpie marker to curl the edges. Then, I applied it on cone shaped cardboard using craft glue. I punched some leaf-shaped using EK Success Quilling Carnation Slim Petal Punch and attached them in between. I stamped Christmas sentiment on a white cardstock, inked the edges and embellished with pearls. For the Christmas tree topper, I punched stars and fixed them at a lollipop stick. I tied a green ribbon underneath. I added white ellipse sequins to ‘bling’ up the tree.

                    

I was so happy and excited to have this little Christmas tree in my room. My Little Ze was happy too! We had a merry holiday with our own little Christmas tree in the house!
