Pink Stuff - A Girlfriend's Birthday Gift

Pink is always perfect for girlfriends.  I personally love dark pink, and pale pink.  I don't really like the pink in between :)  Finally..... after we went "missing" for few months, we are back with our latest birthday card for a friend and the birthday gift.

A makeup kit from Benefit and the card.

Close-ups of the card.

We managed to commit to a few small projects like paper bags and wedding tags in between but we were too busy to take photo and write.  Anyway, here's a photo of the Thank You tags we made for a wedding in JB :

Thanks for looking. We are currently busy preparing for our second collection of Ramadhan gift. Hope to share with you on the first day of Ramadhan. Wish us luck!

Hafiy!

Let me introduce my first nephew, Hafiy!

I was trusted to prepare a gift for Hafiy's nanny who has left in the first week of August.  Poor Hafiy, he's going to get a new nanny again! Hopefully he's going to get an equally good nanny like the previous two or a better one. Please go here if you want to take a peek of Hafiy when he was few months old.

Anyway, here's what I have made - a basket consists of floral bouquet, a card in a box, and peanut candies in a tin :

I was glad to know that Cikgu Ida loved the gifts. Once again, time was quite an issue when I prepared the gifts as I was told that Cikgu Ida would be leaving a week earlier (due to Eid ul Fitr). My other half knew how messy the craft room was at that time as I did not have time to clear the supplies used for previous projects. Haha. Nevertheless, I simply love crafting :)

Thanks for looking!

Iftar Gifts for K-Fiqh

Where has July gone? This is indeed a long overdue post, our Ramadhan assignment.  We have tried few times to write and upload the pics but failed to finish blogging.  Anyway during the month of July, we were approached by a friend to come up with an Iftar gift for the participants.  Time and budget were quite an issue but we have given our best to fulfill our client's request and managed to create with so much love ;)

Without further ado, let's have a look at what we have made, incorporating the idea or request from the client of course :

We also took the opportunity to introduce our first basket hamper during the month of Ramadhan.  The basket generally consists of floral bouquet, freshly made cookies, dates,and peanut candies.  For this special Ramadhan event, we have included air zam zam in the gift pack.

As you may see, we did not have time to take many photos during the preparation and even the final products.  Nevertheless, we have thoroughly enjoyed making and dressing up the gifts.  Looking at the 100 paper bags at the end of the day has given us an indescribable satisfaction.  

Special thanks to a dear friend Shikin for the trust she put on us!  By the way we have just finished editing pics for our latest task, hopefully we don't take long to put up everything on the blog :) 

Till soon. Have a good day! 

Badam Manis

I recently had a pleasure of developing an album for Badam Manis. The album serves something like a portfolio which shows and describes what Badam Manis can offer to potential clients. 

The owner particularly requested a size of 12"X12", so here are few close-ups of the pages in the album :

I must say that the pages you have seen made probably just half of the album.  I just think it is not really right to reveal the whole content as the album is meant for Badam Manis's potential clients.  I wish them more success and hope they like the album. Thanks for the trust and support.

As for you, I hope you have enjoyed looking! :D

Pretty Paper Bags

I truly enjoyed styling these plain paper bags.  Papers are of high quality, hence I think these are great for gifts, or favor ideas.  Here are what I have prepared to inspire you ;)

First up is the one with fabulous flower at the center.  We really love quick and easy favor ideas.

I went a bit simpler for this one using just a stamp to replace the flower.  

Lastly, this grey and pink paper bag is meant for a gift. I highly recommend that the present inside shall be nicely and neatly wrapped too.  I am always of a view that a gift must be presentable.  

Wonder what the sizes of these cute paper bags are? They are 6"X4".  I super love the petite size ;)  Receiving a beautifully embellished paper bag as a gift is intriguing.  Being a papercrafter, I usually tend to find ways to style anything plain, even if it is a simple gift.

Just email me if you want something like this, got to go now.  Thanks for looking!
