20 Cards Thus Far

Ok, I admit that I am in a card-making-mania-mood recently. I was making cards almost every day whenever I could steal some time off. Making cards is so addictive. I just could not stop. Seeing the end results after a card is done is so satisfying, almost as therapeutic as baking.

There was a day when I made 4 cards in one day. Even I couldn't believe it.

These are the 11th to the 20th card I've made thus far. And yes, I spent a fortune on scrapbooking materials. I have now set aside a budget to spent on scrapbooking besides my baking stuff.
This is why having hobbies are bad. At least, hobbies that requires money are bad. They eat up all your cash and leaves a hole in your pocket!


My sis asks me what am I going to do with these cards? She said bakes can be eaten. What about cards? Do I plan to give it to away?
Well, first of all, even if I give it to friends, I will only give it to people who know how to appreciate them. (my hubby is definitely not in the list!)

But maybe I will sell them. I don't know. Not sure if I can part with them (money is a big motivation though despite what I just said..haha). Not sure if there are people willing to buy them. And I am also lazy to always have to run to the post office whenever there is a sale.

And I also don't take orders. First of all, most of the stuff I have only 1 design/piece. So for those, I cannot duplicate them. Secondly, this is my hobby and if I take orders, then I feel so stressed out to meet your orders and your requirements. So I just make them and if you like them, then we are best friends! ;)

So I will see how. But if any of you are interested in my cards, feel free to email/call/msg me. I am always appreciative of extra cash! ;)

p/s - my 1st to 10th card can be found here.

Hi Shu-Yin, just came across your blog. I like your cards and I like cardmakinng too :) I totally agree they're so addictive (and burn a hole in my pocket sometimes)! Thus, I'm also facing the situation where I don't know what to do with my cards. I guess the best way is like what you mentioned: give them to people for special events and put the rest on sale! Hope to see more and more of your awesome creations! Cheers!

Hie Xing Ying, I'm still very new to card-making. This being my 2nd month only so my cards are rather immature. Hehe.

Your cards are so nice! ;)

Next time I want to start a business importing Martha Stewart punches and stamps from US to Penang. :-)

I must say Xing Ying and your cards are really master pieces.

But, these cards are like your kids. Do you really want to sell them away?? :-)
