Origami Kusudama: Little Roses

It's been quite long since I've posted anything or started on any small handicraft project - I was really busying myself, preparing for a major exam. Anyway, it's finally over, so I can now free my mind. (yay!)

My mom's birthday is coming up, this Sunday, and I didn't really know what to make for her until I came across this beautiful origami paperball. She loves flower-themed items, so I think it'll work for her.

The end product is lovely - I could not emphasize more how pretty the product looks when it's in your hands!



I updated my project timeline on epikk, so do check that out if you want to see how the process is made!

Had a lot of fun making this, and hope she likes it! :-)

Custom orders!

About two weeks ago I received a request for a customised order, and I got so excited - Yippee! 

This time, it was a HUGE order and I was working against the clock to finish that order before the deadline, and considering the time taken for shipping I only had about three to four days to finish it :-( Still, I was really happy that the customer chose my shop to make the order, and this order was really fun to make. 

Folding 200 white stars after I was done with 450 turquoise and orange stars. 
Then I told myself, "Keep going!" Hahaha. 


Love how this turned out :-)

The final products!!! (Was really excited to send this out!) 


With the help of my beloved family, I managed to finish the order before the estimated time, and the order reached the recipient timely! 

I love to make customised orders for customers, and it makes me feel especially happy when the customer receives your item with satisfaction. This experience was great and hopefully, I would be able get the chance to do this again :-) 


It's been a busy, busy week for me, so I didn't manage to squeeze out time to blog, and really thankful that I even have time to spare for blogging. And especially the festive season is round the corner, there's more work for me... 

Well then, so long for now!

Seoul, Korea

Last December, I went on an overseas cultural exchange trip with my school to Seoul, Korea. Definitely worth the money & time - I earned precious friendships as well as the beautiful scenery that Korea has to offer (pre-winter autumn leaves, y'know?)  

Aaaaand of course, I can't forget to make a scrapbook as a keepsake for this awesome trip. So, here's that! 

This is the layout of the very first page that I've made for the trip. I attached a special pocket to the back of the photo such that I can put whatever items, small cards I've received into that "photo pocket". 
Then I've also added some handmade party picks & a layered paper rosette for decor. 
We were in a fashion district in Daegu City! A pity the time given to shop was really limited :-/
I made a simple paper rosette & layered it with circle diecuts. Also added a touch of glitter to the circumferences of the circle! 

I MISS THE KOREAN FOOD. A LOT. This was what I ate on the first day when I arrived in Korea. This plate of stir-fried chicken was so tender and succulent, I can almost taste it in my mouth now... 

This page is my personal favourite - because I really enjoyed the stay at Sunbi Village. The weather was extremely cold but the wooden house was really warm and cosy. A really unique experience. 
Layout inspiration from http://inacreativebubble.blogspot.sg/2014/07/moments.html
I used washi tape, some heidi swapp accented stickers as well as AC chipboard thickers! (i really love this design)



...And those are the pages that I wanted to share! The rest are for my eyes only. Hahaha.


Hopefully I'll be able to improve more on my layouts and probably layering of embellishments (really suck at it) soon. Maybe not anytime soon, because I'm a busy, busy person.

For now, happy crafting!
