Simpsons Family Paper Craft

I have been playing this game recently on my HTC one XL.

The Simpsons Tapped OUT

It has amazing graphics and the colour is brilliant!

The games starts with Homer playing an iPad while at work and blow up the whole Springfield town!

Homer playing his iPad

The objective of this game is to rebuild the neighbourhood that Homer Simpsons once lived in and bring the non-existent humans (The Simpsons, Neighbours, Food Joints etc.) back to life.

A really lame beginning but what the heck... it was interesting idea nonetheless!

Riding on my Quest~ I found a few templates for my Simpsons family at Cubeecraft....

Homer Simpson

Marge Simpson

Bart Simpsons

Lisa Simpsons

Maggi Simpsons

Here comes the real deal~the Simpsons Couple!!!

*Update: I finally had some time to do up the whole Simpsons family today!

You can realise that the Maggie Simpson (baby) is significantly smaller than the rest of the Simpsons family and in fact was also the easiest to piece together - due to the lesser number of parts to assemble =)

I will end this post with a merchandise that caught my eye the other day at *scape~

Adorable bobbing head Homer and Marge Simpson!!!! ****SCREAMSSSS*****

If you have any questions or think that there are other crafts that you would like me to try out, please leave me a comment below. Cheerios!

Hope you had a great weekend!!

How to murder a Minion

Recently, I and my hubby celebrated our first year Wedding Anniversary.

I ordered from my friend, Janelle, founder of Jnelle and Jacques, a cake. 

I showed her a sample of the cake I wanted, an absolutely adorable minion cake!

I very much left it to her creativity to figure out how the cake will be done. 

and this is the outcome!!

My hubby had guessed that it is a 3D couple.. probably those you see on the wedding cakes...

unboxing in progress

Imagine his surprise when he opened the box!! He absolutely LOVES Minions~!!

Revealing the minion hair...

Minion with a nose?!?!

Murdering of the minion

If you asked me, the minion looks pretty dead by now.... hahaha~

My hubby has already dug the nose part out.... oMmmNommonomm~~~

Brain surgery of the little minion

A piece of the brain

Murder complete

Throughout the process, it was honestly, quite heart aching to dissect the minion. =(

The cake was delicious!! The cake was layered and coated with chocolate ganache and covered with fondant. There were chunks of orange chocolate in the cake which is comparable in texture to eating Ben and Jerry's Phish food. 

Very refreshing ~

BUT, I somehow regretted choosing chocolate cake as the innards. Should have chosen red velvet cake to give it some life! That said, maybe minions has chocolate brown blood. 

Shrugs~ =p

My other friend, Charlene, also suggested that if it was a chocolate lava cake, it would be more life-like! 

What a great idea! wahahahha~

As a whole, though there were some flaws on the minion (i.e. the nose, the suspender's position), me and my hubby had a great time enjoying, admiring and discussing on the dissection and how the cake should have been made for more "life" even few days after the celebrations.

If you would like to have your own customised cake done, you may contact 

Janelle from Jnelle and Jacques. 

Cheerios!!

Hen's Party 2nd March 2013

Just last month, I post on a preparation for my friend's Hen's Party. See post.

There will be some XXX photos. So you have been warned...
If you are offended by my post, TOO BAD, what do you expect?! It's a hen's party!

Ok~ on to the details!

The cake

This was one of the many photos I showed Janelle, the founder of Jnelle and Jacques and she decided to use this as a reference.

This was the cake that she made!! Absolutely hilarious!!! And the bride-to-be loves it (up to interpretations=P)!

The bride to be was given a few stunts...

SCARY~~~~ 

Also, in my previous post, I also had a few photo outcome that I wanted to achieve at the end of the party.

Pucca Paper Craft

In my recent trip to Shanghai in Jan 2013, I've got myself 2 Pucca handbags

 So.... I was thinking~ why not make a make a Pucca- Garu couple??!?!

I used to play this Pucca "scissor-paper-stone" game on PC when I was younger and could spend lots of time just playing it!

Looks fun isn't it?!??!

Anyway.....

I downloaded the Pucca- Garu template from DeviantArt..

Pucca

Garu

I got down to making my dolls. And this is my final product~

That's when I thought.... HEY it looks too plain!!!!

And I decided to make a shadow box from scratch.

I had a subscription with Bellabox and I kept their boxes as they are really sturdy and pretty~ and wrapped them in craft paper.

And I placed my Pucca-Garu Couple inside~ 

LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH~!!

Susuwatari (Totoro) Paper Craft

While I was trying to look for some characters for my paper craft project from the Studio Ghibli films, I couldn't find the character Susuwatari.

Susuwatari are basically tiny animated dust creatures small, dark, dust-like house spirits seen when moving from light to dark places in the movie My Neighbour, Totoro.

I found out that it was possible to create my own characters from a empty template from cubeecraft

I figured that it wasn't too hard to make my own Susuwatari....

I took this image of a simple graphic of Susuwatari

.

And editted using paint to create the template.

My Susuwatari template turned out not too bad =D

And this is my end product!!!

So proud of myself~ it's a good first attempt =D

If you think there are other simple characters out there that you might want me to try a hand at creating, please leave me a comment below! *Disclaimer: I'm really new at this, so don't expect great results =P

Thanks for sharing my joy in making cubeecrafts!
