Wedding Card Makeover

Hello to all my Lovely Readers,

I am BACK!!!! So sorry for MIA over the past two months!!  It seems that “this sentence” has been a common starter throughout my blog these few months. At the same time, I also want to say SO SORRY to all my blogger friends to not visiting your lovely blog.

Last month, I moved in to my new HDB. In Singapore, we called an apartment as HDB (Housing and Development Board). Over here, seldom people will have enough money to buy a private / landed house. So, most people will apply HDB and pay the installment for like the next 30 years / more.

Anyway, last month I and fiancé went to T-Dragon for our wedding card selection. Wedding card design is one of a perk that we got when signed our wedding package with Grand Copthorne Waterfront (printing service is not included).  The printing service costs us around S$140 for 105 cards.  

Frankly speaking, We I feel that the card’s design is too plain and simple =(

So, I decided to makeover the card to my personal preference. I want it to have classic and rustic feeling.

Original Design

• A wedding card with shiny gold hot stamping on one side
• It contains plain text and with a single color printing
• Plain Cream envelope.

After Makeover:

• STILL, a wedding card with shiny gold hot stamping on one side
• Asked them to add two of our customized logo which was designed by ME.  To print a logo, they charge us additional S$10.00 for each image. Since, I requested two images; we need to pay additional S$20.00 for printing.
• Cream envelope with an additional of liner. It was done by me as well. I spend three days to complete this task. Paper craft bought from Spotlight. Total it cost me S$30.00.
• And last, I use a wax stamp to seal the wedding card. Bought the Manuscript Pen Sealing Gun Wax Sticks from Maple Tree House. I love love love to shop from there. Sometimes, their products and prices can be too'delicious' for me to ignore =P

Proudly present my wedding card (after the makeover):

Thanks for visiting my blog today. Hope you all have a great Wednesday..

Piggy and Puppy Finger Puppet for Kids

Hello Everyone!!!!!

Just a quick post today! I want to share with you my creation of Animal Finger Puppet.

We are going to have about 10 kids at our 3/4 hours reception. So, I want to give them something fun to do. Beside DIY a Kids Activity book, I also make an Animal Finger Puppet for them.

Here is my creation of Piggy and Puppy Finger Puppet.

Why I choose to make Piggy and Puppy? It just because I was born is boar/pig year and my soul mate was born in dog year.

Hope all the kids will love it =P

Wedding Paper Tag

Good Day to Everyone!

By now, I should declare myself as the worst blogger ever =(

For the year 2012 (which is from January to July), I could only managed to publish less than 30 posts!! OMG! I know 30 posts in 7 months are so damn less. I feel so sorry to all my lovely readers for my MIA these few weeks.

Anyway, a bit update about my wedding!!

By the time I am writing this post, my 150 paper bags and the 150 paper tags are done(Yuppie!!!).

As most of you know, I will be getting married this 8 December 2012. I am greedily happily planning to DIY so many things. For now, I just completed the paper bags and tags, but I still need to make another type of tag to be attached to our wedding favor. I also still need to make the place card, design the guest book, wedding corsages and boutonneire for my helpers, etc., etc. !! I hope I can complete everything in another 3/4 months!! 

On my special day, I will be the bride (of course, hehehe) and the wedding planner as well. Hope everything will be smooth!!

PS: A big thanks to one of my lovely and super talented, Annette!! Last month, she sent me a super duper lovely package. I am so happy!! Thank you so much, dear!! I love her DIY card so much. She is the queen of twines and her coloring skill is superb! Please visit her blog to view all her lovely creations.
