11 Days Left- Card Set & Letter Set

Do you like exchanging letters with your friends by using paper letters instead of emails?

You could receive your friends' words with warmth because you could see their handscript and touch the papers.

Although technology is advance nowadays, I still like old ways, old things and old style.

The key-in emails are unable to compare with the handwritten letters, despite the speed they being delivered.

So the same as handmade things!

You won't disagree-- DIY has its super magic.  Once you have an idea, you could never stop DIY.  Especially when I find my idea work out amazingly, I could not stop creating more.

Hey, you see, this time, I have stamped and handmade two paper sets- Card Set and Letter Set.

I used traditional Chinese writing paper and calligraphy paper to make the envelopes.

And then stamped a few super cute stamps on labels, so as to let someone create a card or write a letter by using these envelopes, sealing them with the labels I stamped.

Terrific, right?

I don't deny either.

I must tell that traditional Chinese papers have their characteristics and charm which makes them have room to survive, although we are now rare to use them for calligraphy or writing essay.

I would try to think more by making good use of them later.

13 Days Left- Blank to Flowery

Let me tell you how I made the Thank You Card in the last post.  Are you interested?
It is fun indeed.

Step 1: Pink Japanese cherries go first.

Step 2: They looked like Poinsettia, but I made them in orange.

Step 3: Add some leaves in different green colour. More and more...better and better....

Step 4: Add more and more, can you count them?

Step 5: Oops, I was too happy to stamp and forgot to shoot for this step. :P

Step 6: Finally, I stamped and arranged the flowers like a wreath. Don't forget to leave the centre in oval shape for some words.

Step 7: Finished!

Ha, ha.....I treasure "Keep in Touch" more than "Thank You", so I stamped "Keep in Touch" in the centre.  But I think I failed to make the embossed item look better.  They are not clear enough.  I should try more times to emboss something for a better result next time!

What do you think?

14 Days Left- Thanks a Bunch!

I have made a card to all my blog friends to express my gratitude to their words.

Thank you very much, your words mean so much to me.

Wish my blog friends grow like the flowers on the card.

18 Days Left- Stamping, Stamping, Stamping!

These are the stamp pads I bought from a local paper shop during their sale near the Christmas.  The colours are great and good with fabrics and wood as well.  I have started some little stamping projects for the coming festive.

Stamping is one of my favourite leisure time, will share what I have done later.

Second Order being Posted

What a lucky shop owner like me! I have received my second order just three days after the first one appeared. I am so happy that my shop coming outstanding at someone’s eyes in the etsian world.

I have well packed the items which my customer has purchased. I don’t know why I always have a thought in mind when I have received this order-- my customer would share the items with her friends. So, I have packed them readily look like a present, then she could give it to her friends instantly. You see, they look like a bottle of champagne! (Of course, they are smaller and shorter in size as they are actually 10 rolls of decorating tapes.)

Wish you enjoy JellyJenny’s stuff. 

P.S. Hey, don’t say that I’m not earth-friendly. The wrapping materials actually are able to be re-used for crafting of any kinds— like sewing a sachet to hold dried flowers, wrapping gifts, hold it tight with a wire to make it like flowers, or you would have much more interesting ideas!

It's Party Time!

To me, Saturdays and Sundays are my party time.

Blissful.  I enjoy a whole day free of work and stay at home crafting.

I see crafting my most relaxing hobby. 

I will try to collect materials I want to craft on weekdays,

also collect some ideas and store them into my heart.

When weekends come,

I turn my ideas into reality.

The process is amazing, and you would never tell boring like this.

I usually have a good sleep and not to wake up so early in the morning,

no rush to have a simple breakfast and then catch the sunlight for some photos.

Then, I start crafting for a whole day.

This weekend, I think of Christmas.

So, I made a party set for dining gatherings in this great season.

Great, great, Christmas is coming around the corner.

First Order Posted

Just would like to share with you that my first order received has been packed and posted!

I have DIY a thank you card to my first customer.

Wish you enjoy your visit to JellyJenny.

Let's keep in touch!

DIY Pen Holder

I like DIY things which I think useful, at least I will use them myself.  I am longed for a pen holder which is different from the one your could see in ordinary store/ shop. 
At first, I find this pen holder durable (because it's made of wood), however, too simple and pale.
Then, I stamped several stamps which I believe that they are matching each other.
Finally, it become adorable indeed.  The stamp ink I chose makes the pattern become like being embossed on wood with a heat pen/ gun or heat tools.
Wow, amazing, isn't it?

Wow, Stamping is Fun!

Do you like stamping?

For me, truly like. When I have started stamping, I just couldn’t stop it. It is a real fun, especially you would have much interest to try your stamps with different ink colour and different surfaces.

I have bought these carved wooden plates in shop but found them really boring at first sight. Perhaps, they are too pale in colour. Later, I found a funny way to make them become more adorable and charming. Yes, stamp them!

But, you must be very careful as not every normal ink is suitable for stamping on wood. I have asked the ink shop and they told me that Versa Colour has a range of ink pads which are good for wood and fabric. Hmm, or, it is because they are much watery than other ink, I think, so that the images on wood would be more solid.

Hey, you see, the end result is wonderful that I couldn’t imagine. Will certainly try some more when I am free.

Stay tuned.

My Favourite Hobbies

My first favourite hobby relating to handcrafts is cross stitching.  Cross stitching is a real fun to me, but honestly it takes you much time, especially when you are trying to achieve a large piece.  I still love it because no matter how much time you have spent to stitch a piece, you would probably forget about the time when you are holding your finished piece.  It is a sense of satisfaction indeed.

Later, when I viewed other people's masterpieces, I found that many xs lovers like to use stamps to decorate their stitched pieces.  Then I began to move on trying stamping and craving rubber stamps myself.  Along the way, I become more addicted to it and want to try more carving and stamping in different ways.

You see, the cotton tape was blank at the very beginning.  But you could turn it to be pretty ribbon by just using a few clear stamps.  It's a kind of magic.  LOL!

Wish you enjoy my handcraft stuff.
