Personalized Banners

Gosh, it seems like it has been a decade since my last post... =(

Just a little update with some of the projects that I have made. This time, I will show the banners. I use paper and/or felt cloth as my banner materials and each have different approach in terms of how it is made. It is much easier to work on paper since cutting is not a problem at all, and find the felt cloth a little challenging. Yes, since it thicker and you cannot feed it on the printer. So that is hand-cut all the way! But it's always fun anyway. =)

Project: Yionah's 1st Birthday

Here is another project for the same client, Miko's mom(see previous post).

It's a Candyland theme, playing with pink, lime green and purple shades.

Handmade Notepads

I always love carrying little notepads with me. I make it a point to always have one in my bag. And the idea of making handmade ones got me so excited. You will have the flexibility of making it the size you want, the image/s, the texts, and even the paper.

I made some sample pads, first using my clear stamps as a design. It's cute, but a little limited though, which all depends on the stamps that I have. So customization is minimal, especially when it comes to texts. Which made me decide that printing will give me all the power to do whatever I wanted to achieve.

So here it is, a glimpse of my handmade notepads. =)

Update: Julio's Baptism

Yes, it isn't done yet. =)

My pretty client added a couple more orders: a name banner and the invites. Lucky Baby Julio that he got this very kind and thoughtful Ninang to guide him throughout his life's journey.

I just finished the invite design and ready to print, will post the finished product later. And here by the way, are the photos of the name banner. As requested, felt cloth are used instead of cardstocks. I handstitched each letter and created 2 more layers as a background. I added animal shapes on both ends to still go with the Noah's Ark theme. A green silk ribbon ties all the characters together.

Project: Julio's Baptism

Ugh! It has been almost 2 weeks since my last post. I was suppose to post this last week, but as expected, laziness strike again. Sigh!

Anyway, I received an order in my Multiply site for Baby Julio's baptism. He is yet to see the world and a kind ninang was already busy doing the preparations. The theme was Noah's Ark, with yellow, green and orange as the theme colors. These are for cupcake toppers and tags. Here are the photos I took after the production:

all boxed and ready for shipment =)

My client was so happy when she got the items, telling me that everything were so cute! The reason why she ordered for a name banner. =)

Will keep you posted with the additional banner project. =)
