about me
My name is Nasuha bt Ahmad Helmi. I've just turned 22 on14th March. My hometown is in Seremban and currently I am pursuing my bachelor degree at Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Tengku Ampuan Afzan in Kuala Lipis, Pahang.

how and when i started card making.
I made my first card about 8 months ago. It all started when I started blogging. I found so many blogs thats dedicated to paper crafting and I got inspired.

my style
I think my style is pretty much 'freestyle'. I don't have any specific style. Since I have a very limited crafting tools and stuffs, I try to use everything that I have to make a beautiful card. Some of the crafting stuffs can be quite expansive and as a student with a limited budget I cannot afford to have some of this stuff. Hence, I have to be creative to make use of everything that I have. Most of the time I use the paper piercing technique. I found that this technique doesn't require a lot of tools, but just a lil' bit of patience. And I love to add dimensions to my card ... so you can see tier of papers being glued together. In the future I hope I can try stamping.

my inspiration
I draw my inspiration from everywhere. I learn that the best way to create something is by looking at other people's work. From seeing other people's work I try to create my own cards with my own style.

favourite manufacturer
I love ALL pattern papers!!! My favorite pattern paper so far is Early Bird from Cosmo Cricket. I got 1 pad and I bought it from Scrap-n-Crop.com.

I am extremely honored with the chance to show you my work, but I still have a lot of things to learn and hopefully in a few month or year perhaps I will improve my creations. I would be so happy if you can visit my work at my blog {HERE} too. A million thanks.

Sincerely,
Nasuha
