Double Happiness “Hei”

Good news! This could be a double happiness for those who love the oriental flavour of Chinese elements wedding with the word “Hei” – Double Happiness designed on paper cutting style with an affordable price!

I’m always in search of beautiful papers, and always nice things come with a price tag! Recently I discovered this new paper producer from Malaysia that offers some awesome range of papers that are very reasonable! Which means you’ll be getting more for value and save on your budget too! Pssst … Do you know that the paper is environmental friendly too?! It is printed with soy ink!

I’ve created a new square two fold invitation card using this new designer paper with a pocket holder. It is a more complex card for those who need to have a few more additional info inserts especially if you have more than just dinner invitation, or simply to guide your overseas guests on their accommodation, map, RSVP, bridals party etc.

Valentine’s Love Cards

I’ve created some special cards for my mom and sister for Valentine’s Day :) Who said Valentine’s are only meant for couples? I decided to show them my appreciation of their love and express my gratitude to have them in my life!

A simple card simply says it all – with love!

Wishing all my friends and family a sweet Valentine’s Day and a Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Chai!!

Something cutesy for sister :) Vibrant yellow background and contrasting birdies make it a fun card! I’ve also created a see through frame to highlight a pair of love birds that are glossed!

Devotion, Dearest … Love!

February 14th this year mark a significant meaning for Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day on the same date! Coincidence never come often, and this year will definitely be a great year to celebrate the reunion with family and sharing some extra romantic time together with your one – darling!

I’ve made a special card for my hubby this year, made with love from me to him … sealed with a kiss! I can’t wait to share this with you all on this blog since it is all about L.O.V.E. this month!!

I hope he won’t see it before Valentine’s Day!! Not that he check my blog at all! So the chances of him seeing this card is pretty slim! *fingers crossed!* (^-^)

Preserving Your Precious Wedding Gown

Dear brides,

If you tailor made your dream wedding gown just like mine, and was wondering how to keep it after the wedding day and continue preserving it knowing that you’ll never wear it again or pass down for your future daughter, yet having the problem to fit this bulky gown into your wardrobe?

You may try sending it to a professional cleaner to dry clean then vacuum packed so that the gown won’t eat up your entire wardrobe space!

I did mine in US. It cost about US$200 but it is worth every penny! They box it up for you and have a transparent viewing window so that you can occasionally flip open the box cover to admire your beautiful gown and bring back sweet memory of your special day :)

You may stack it on the shelf, storeroom, walk-in closet or even display it if you want! Most importantly of all, it’s a space saver!
