這次ATC的題材是white on white相當特別的題目，一直以來都非常喜歡white on white, tone on tone的卡片。一看到題目馬上想到雪花，曾經有一次去玩雪，結果遇上了大風暴，整片山都是白茫茫的一片，很懷念那時暴風雪吹襲之後，陽光照射在雪地上的美景，用雪花片做white on white ATC應該很棒，但又怕做不完考慮很久還是不想錯過這個機會。就 craft away 吧！

這次的準備功夫不少，為了要展現一層一層雪花的立體感，裁切了不少大大小小的雪花片，雪花片除了使用白色卡紙還使用的銀色卡紙丶亮片卡紙丶描圖紙以及雲紋水晶紙。多出來的還可以留著做聖誕卡片。

將大大小小的雪花疊在一起，大概疊個四層或五層，儘量每一層使用不同的材質，而且每一片雪花的形狀都不太一樣，決定好之後就可以上膠了。

雪花片準備好之後，再來是準備背景的襯紙。這是使用了型版以及珠光浮雕膏。沒想到買了三年多的浮雕膏還是相當不錯，一點乾掉的跡象都沒有，不過用完之後一定要把蓋子蓋好才能保存久一點。

這次用了四種型版，也順便多做幾張大張的，方便日後使用，畢竟開蓋子的次數會增加浮雕膏變乾的機會

再來就是在背後註記這次的ATC，找到了數字和字母的章，剛好編排第29次ATC的題目，加上找到一個小的雪花章完成了這次ATC的註記。最後就是組合啦！

這些是部分的大合照！

This is another set of cards using Pinkfresh Studio Simply Hexagons die. This time I have used both the hexagon stamp and die set. These will be for charity as well.

I used distress oxide ink to blend the hexagon pieces. On the pictures, I typed the color of the ink pad that I used. After blending, I heat embossed the flower and sentiment, which spelled out sending hugs. After that, I put foam adhesive on the back of each hexagon and assembled them on a white cardstock using the cutout of the hexagon die frame as a guide. Then remove the frame once all the hexagon pieces have been glued on.

I did something very different for this card. All the hexagon pieces are from the advertisement that I collected over the year. Some of the hexagons were pieces that I stamped imperfectly and was going to go to the trash bin. But since it is small enough, I was able to repurpose it. I am glad it turned out to be great.

These are the papers that are ready for upcycle.

After cutting them out, I put all the pieces in place one layer at a time. Sandwich between the acrylic block. The benefit of doing a sandwich is that you're able to reduce the chance of pieces moving around. Moving one layer without moving everything else all together will be easier if you make a sandwich. Once I decided on the look, I started to adhesive from the bottom layer and stuck it on white cardstock. After that, move on to the middle layer, then upper layer with foam tape and heat embossed sentiment. In the last minute, I decided to add velum paper leaves to add more depth. Then the card is complete.

This is a pair of thank you cards that I made for charity. With so much going on in the world, we have so much to thank for. 

I always wanted to make cards using either hexagon stamp or die. Finally I got a stamp and die set from Pinkfresh Studio. For these two cards, I used just the hexagon die and saved the stamp set for some other time.  For the preparation, I have made some background choices using embossing folder and sentiment  stripe for the card. In addition, I have die-cut some flowers that I plan to use on the card. I have not decided to use which one yet. 

Once I have everything ready, all I need is to die cut the floral cardstock with hexagon die and start the assembly.  Here are the final look for the cards.

On the back of card, I have add a mini envelope to include wishes to the recipient 

After finish stamping, die cut a square that will fit inside of card. And before adhesive onto inside of card, temporary positioning it at the front, so I can tell where I should cut out the window.

這一次決定嘗試做一張4x8.5寸的長尺寸卡片。現在算是蠻夯的一個尺寸。從來沒有做過，原因是⋯⋯沒有信封可以買XD. 所以特地為此手工做了信封給它。完成之後發現長尺寸卡片非常適合風景卡可以囊括所有景觀，有興趣的朋友可以試試。
​

特別用燙凸粉顯示沙子的視覺感摸起來也很像，非常好玩。唯一不足的是應該在夕陽再加上橘色系會更有層次。但因已上了distress micro glaze，要更改是不太可能了，就當作下次再做一張的理由吧！

This is the second post that I use an embossing folder to make card. The first post was inking on the card that was already embossed. The link for the first post, Embossed 3D thank you card, is at the end of today's post. This time I am using the ink then emboss technique which has created the unique look.
利用壓凸板上色是一個非常特別的技巧，有別於先壓凸再上色，這次直接上顏色在壓凸板上效果非常特​別

First, stamp the ink on the vally side of embossing folder, then sandwich white card stock in between and run it through the machine. If some area was missing the ink, the same process can be repeat untill you get the look you desire. In my case, I have it done twice.

利用壓凸板平滑的那一面(圖案下凹面)上顏色，在過機器時直接將顏料像蓋印的方式印在紙張上也同一時間壓凸，效果非常特別。這個過程可以重複進行直到顏色達到你想要覆蓋的面積。

These are the cards that I made for friends who’s birthday is in Spring. By the meteorological calendar, March to May are the Spring season. To welcome the arrival of Spring, my cards showcase flowers and vibrant color.
三到五月是回暖的春季，為歡迎春天的來臨，特別製作和花有關的生日卡。春天是萬花盛開的季節，祝福壽星們生日快樂，春風滿面～

I simply used Altenew 4.5" wide washi tape to cover entire cardstock. By using different color cardstock, it showed very different look with the same washi tape. I have die cut some flowers and leaves from Alexandra Renke and sentiments from Simon says stamp.
這次決定使用Altenew大篇幅的紙膠帶，一張卡剛剛好一整面，再利用不同顏色的卡紙加上紙膠帶會有全新不同的面貌。再裁切一些Alexandra Renke的花刀模和SSS的生日祝福句子，就可以進行組合了。

For the background, I chose some leaves and pattern background stamp and used distress oxide ink to create more subtle look. After that all I need was assembling.
在組合卡片時發現框邊白色過於單調，所以找了一點葉子和圖紋的背景章，用復古氧化印台蓋印若隱若現的圖案，加強了卡片的整體表現。

Here are the completed cards, side by side showing the same washi tape with different color cardstock.
並排三組使用同一款紙膠帶加不同底卡色​完成的卡片，效果完全不同。

I have joined a group sometime last year, where all the members can make birthday cards for other members who's birthday are at that month. These are the cards that I've made for my crafty friends. Sending birthday cards to crafty friends and receiving birthday cards from your crafty friends is awesome.  Let me tell you, this is as much fun as you can get. 

The details

I’ve decided to use Hero Arts monthly hero kit, February kit, for birthday card. I absolutely love this kit, you can make many different cards. First, I die cut a paper and stamp the newspaper background on the front and the top portion of the paper to create newspaper-like wrapping paper for the bouquet. Second, embossing the happy birthday sentiment with white embossing powder onto black card stock and then die cut it into sentiment flag. Finally, die cut some bows for the decoration.

For the bouquet, I've die cut the flowers and leaves using color cardstock then applied the detail with sponge and ink. After that, simply glue the flower to the stem. The rest is easy assembly, in no time the bouquet is ready. Finally, I've made some background A2 cardstock using stencil and Nuvo expanding mousse. The texture definitely adds some dimensions and interest to the card.  

I am very please with the outcome. I hope my friends will like them as well.
