Breast Cancer Pins in Remembrance of Mom

In remembrance of my departed Mother, here is a pin I made and have been wearing in memory of her passing away last month as a result of cancer. May God bless her soul. She had battled cancer for over 20 years but with age, she just had to resign to the disease.

This month of October, the breast cancer awareness month, I would like to dedicate this pin to all those who have survived, battling and past away because of this disease. May it empower and remind us that we have a duty to ourselves to prevent this cancer. And also remembering that we have cancer but cancer does not have us, too.

May God Bless Us All and keep us safe.

I found some jewelry boxes from a department store that my sister stored away and found use for them. I took a 3x3 "Pretty in Pink" SU! cardstock and embossed it to cover the top of the box. I also cut a 3 x 3 "Very Vanila" SU! cardstock and stamped it with a caption "Hope is... believing in a brighter tomorrow" from an retired SU! Stamp Set, then adhered the caption behind the cover of the box.

With the ribbon, I cut a 6", 7/8" black grosgrain ribbon and slant-cut both ends. With a 3/4" pink grosgrain ribbon, I cut a 3" piece to stick it to the right side of the crossed-ribbon. Just to put a little touch to it, I added a pink rhinestone "stick-on" to it, as illustrated.

Use glue gun to piece the ribbons together. I also used a 1" bar pin and glued it behind the ribbon vertically. NOTE: position the pin fastener on top for easier pinning.

The design of this ribbon was researched by my brother. A pink ribbon connotes a survivor or a cancer patient and a black ribbon with a pink half ribbon signifies that a love one passed away.

I dedicate this post to my mom. May you rest in peace, mommy. I love you and I miss you.

Felt Flowers and Friends

It's about time I shared with you some of these felt flowers I've been making. I know you've seen so many felt flowers around and know how by now how to make them. I just wanted to share with you how these flowers influenced my social network and more.

I already made them for a reunion I had in Las Vegas where my classmates wore them for the entire weekend stay. There were 16 of us wearing them as we strolled down the strip. As we passed by curious onlookers, I can't help but admire how my friends proudly wore them with their lovely get-ups. It was like a fashion statement and it worked!


The yellow/black flower below is another project in my list. It will be used in an election campaign soon. So watch out for this if you see them around:)



Here are some I made for St.Patrick's Day!!! Go Green!


My mom's back from vacation and she brought this lovely tote bags! My friends were here to welcome them back and they got these lovely totes decked with my special felt flowers. Aren't they gorgeous. :)


These are shoulder bags for kids. They're like mini-duffle bags.. soo cute! :)




I also made a tag for them if you wanted to give it as a gift or sell it in a craft fair or even sell them at boutiques :)


Just cut a 2"x4" CS and decorate with a label (I used the Vintage Labels here), then punch 2 holes for the flower pin hold and use the Horizontal Slot punch #105089 so you can hang these lovely flowers in a shop.
