Papier Design Team Jan-Mar 2012 - Inaz Jamaluddin

Introducing Inaz as our new Dt team for Jan-Mar 2012. Here's a short info about her.


Hi everyone,

First of all, I’m proud and honored to be part of Papier’s DT. It is such a great pleasure. Thanks Macy fo the opportunity!!

Since this is my first post in the blog as DT, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and share my passion in scrapbooking/crafting. My name is Shafinaz and you can call me Inaz. I’m from Klang and currently attached to a Company as HR practitioner. When I’m not at work I will be doing what I enjoyed most – scrapbooking/crafting.

It’s all started a year ago and I became totally addicted to it. It makes my memories alive and I get to be creative and innovative. And above all, I get many new friends who have the same passion as I am. As a new comer to scrapbooking/crafting, I get most of my ideas and inspiration from magazines, blogs, online forum, manufacturer’s websites and many more. Not forgetting my nephews and nieces who have always been my inspiration and favorite scrapping subject.

I’m thrilled and excited to be part of the team and I look forward to meeting with all of you.
Cherished the moments as they too, become memories.

Inaz

Welcome on board Inaz, we are excited to have you with the rest of the team and looking forward to your creations...:)

Papier Design Team Jan-Mar 2012 - Nida Razali

We welcome 2012 with two new members joining the current design team. Welcome on board Nida Razali. Here's a brief intro about her. 



Finding your personal passion in life is an all important aspect of happiness


My name is Aznida M Razali and I live in KL.  I started to be serious in scrapbooking in 2006 the year I gave birth to my son. I started doing craft works since schooling days where I love to do cards, sketching (portraits), glass paintings and of course 'old style scrapping'. Those days my scrapbooks were basically cut and paste of my favourite artistes or quotes or anything fancy and beautiful to my eyes. I don't really have a specific style in crafting. More like queen of random for me though I feel that I always have the tendency to search for grunge and vintage stuffs. The tools and techniques in scrapbooking as well as the abundance of materials offers endless ways of experimenting and exploring. 

I have a full time job with a local engineering consultant in PJ. Crafting is definitely an opposite of what I do at work and that is what thrilled me the most! There is no right or wrong about it and it all depends on your interpretation. I like that!  I also love photography and it is a way for me to progress in my scrapbooking. I wouldn't classify myself as talented in art but my reason for crafting is to share with others this passion of mine apart from cherishing my precious memories so that when I am old, I would be able to look back and reminisce these memories in style.   

-Nida-

Congratulations Nida and we look forward to working with you..:)

The base is a small circle from a recycle duct tape. I cover it up with pattern papers and cut out image from the rest of the papers. To pop the fussy cut image i use 3D dots. A very simple and easy card to assemble. Hope you're inspired to try your own version.

Layout - "Goofin Cousins "

Hello all..

Please bear with me..for some reason I could'nt crop my photo ..yikes! Still figuring out why my 'buddy' turn away from me ..lol. This time I used most of my papers from "State of The Heart" kit by My Mind's Eye. Pretty straight forward technique used here.


Simple backdrops are created by just tearing of few papers and layering them for that 3D effect.


Have you got the New Arrivals from Hero Arts? I heart this "Watch Gear" cling stamps. First I stamped on the background. Next I stamped on another of my favourite paper and fussy cut the gear. Last..using 3D dots I stick the fussy cut on top of the stamped background. Tada..


If you are still wondering how..drop by Papier on the 24th December for the Make and Take session. We'll show you how okay..You get to bring home a gorgeous card!! Sooo save the date :)))

Calendar Banner


Hi scrapper, I'm sure most of you are done with your Christmas and year end shopping. Every time i step into The Curve i cant help to feel extra joy and merry! With an awesome deco and the many splendid goodies on sale who could resist not to jump in the wagon? lol. Yes more spending but i believe it's all for a good cause. 


One of the things that everyone would love to received is a calendar! Instead of buying one why not make one for your friends and family. Using my Dec dt kit from MME 'Love Me Do' i created this fun banner. The calendar was printed on a plain cardstock and matted on a kraft cardstock. I also love Tim Holtz Alteration Rosette die. Making paper flowers is so much easier with a die cut!


So go ahead and start planning for 2012 calendar. Just an idea, you could also use a tag die for a simple 12 month calendar. Check out our die cut machine and dies that's available in store. Pssttt just to let you on a secret...Sizzix die cut machine is arriving soon! We're waiting anxiously for the shipment! Look out for the updates soon..:)



Material lists: MME Love Me Do Kit, Making Memories Shimmer Flourish, Kraft Cardstock, Alpha, Ribbon.
