Happy Valentine's Day !

Hello everybody,

On this feast day for lovers, I offer you a small bookmark made with a cute little cupid from the Magnolia "A touch of love" collection 2016 

I made my clouds with cardboard and Distress ink "Tattered Rose" but there are very special tools for that (I put the link at the end of the article)

Zoom on the glitter wings and hearts covered with Glossy Accent:

See you soon

A Special Christmas Card

 

Good morning!  Today I'd lilke to share my favourite, and last, Christmas card of this year with you that I made for my parents inspired by a layout..  I have used the Tim Holtz Weathered Clock die for the base.  Sadly, the clock as it cuts out was not big enough for my requirements so I had a little brainwave - I cut a ring using large circle dies and then cut the numbers from the Tim Holtz die cut and added them to it.  Et voila!  A bigger weathered clock!  I have added Laserowe chipboard pieces behind the image on both sides.

I have added lots of gorgeous Christmas details around the Stempelglede photo stamp image.  The paper flowers were cut from Maja Design paper and I added a cherry blossom and snowflake charm from Craft Heaven.  The pine cones were made with a Tim Holtz die and the berries are polystyrene balls inked with Festive Berries Distress Ink.  I also added a Believe die cut and an embossed sentiment using the stamp from the Magnolia Northern Lights stamp set.

On the other side I have added some bells from Craft Heaven and a poinsettia made with white Foamiran and the Magnolia Poinsettia die.  The 25 was cut from several layers of kraft cardstock using Thinlits dies and layered up to resemble chipboard.

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Notebook with Fruit Salad Tilda

Hello,

 

today I want to show you a quick notebook.

You only Need some Oxide Inks, white gesso, an image and  sentiment stamps. I love to use stencils for backgrounds.

 

 

For my notebock cover I used a lot of different stamps. Here they are:

Fruit Salad Tilda

Palm Tree

Follow your heart - Stempelglede

 

 

The palms, postmarks and the sentiment I embossed with white and gold. It looks so pretty.

The white splatters I made with a little bit of gesso and water. The effect is just amazing.

 

Hope you like this little notebook.

 

Have a nice weekend.

Teenage Boy's Birthday Card

Hi!  Today I'd like to share with you the birthday card I made for my son this year using the gorgeous Maja Design Denim and Friends paper collection.  These papers are great for a boy's/man's card!

I cut around the star and shoes from one of the papers and then backed the star with black card.

The 'Son' was cut with a die from my stash.  The 'It's your birthday' sentiment is from the Stempelglede Have A Beautiful Day stamp set, embossed with white Nuvo embossing powder.

I stamped a Tim Holtz ticket stamp in the corners of the star paper.

I also added some Tim Holtz film strip ribbon and washi tape.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Anniversary Card

Good morning!  Today I'd like to share another card I made for my parents' 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary a few weeks ago.  I have used some gorgeous papers from the Maja Design Celebration paper collection and one of my favourite Stempelglede stamps from the Grunge Flourish Hearts Collection.

I embossed the Grunge Heart with gold embossing powder twice: onto white cardstock and onto vellum.  I cut out the centre heart from the vellum and have placed it over the top of the first.

 The paper lily of the valley was cut from an old paper from my stash and I have used added a few pretty flowers too.  I made the 50 myself with small half gems.

I added a seam binding bow and a resin Eiffel Tower along with some gorgeous deep lace from Craft Heaven.

The Happy Anniversary sentiment was cut from the bottom of the Maja Design paper.

The 'tickets' peeping out from beneath the lace were also cut from the Maja Design paper.

 I also added some cheesecloth and a doily from my stash for extra texture at the bottom of the card.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x

Vintage Style Leaving Cards

Good morning!  Today I have two cards for the price of one to share with you!  I made these cards for two of my colleagues who left last month to move on to pastures new.  I love this Stempelglede sentiment from the Follow Your Heart set for 'Sorry you're leaving' cards.  

I have used Maja Design Celebration Papers for both cards.  The cards were cut with a Magnolia Doohickey frame die from Volume 13.

I have used some beautiful lace from Craft Heaven on both cards along with Scrapiniec chipboard pieces.

This piece is from the Spring Prodigy set...

...and this one is from the Mehendi Borders set.

I have stamped butterflies from Stempelglede's Vintage Baby and Have A Beautiful Day stamp sets onto coffee filter paper to adorn both cards.

I have also added small blue roses and larger white and pink roses along with some hydrangeas from my stash.

 I hope you like them both...

 ...and thanks for looking! x

Happy Father's Day

 Good evening!  Today I have my latest card for Craft Heaven to share with you.  It was Father's Day here in the UK last weekend and this is the card I made for my dad.  I have used Maja Design's Denim Collection papers and stamps from Stempelglede, both available from Craft Heaven.

 I have used the Happy Father's Day text from Stempelglede's Have a Beautiful Day collection as the main focus of the card.

 The stamps were stamped with another Stempelglede stamp from the Postcard from Paris collection.

 The text is also from the Postcard from Paris collection.  The button was cut with a Tim Holtz die and I added some twine from my stash.

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to have a go at those very tricky male cards.  I always struggle to decide what to put on them.  Thanks for looking! x

Sweet ...

Hello,

 

sorry, I'm bit later today...

But know I can show you my brand new card for today.

You look right, it's no Tilda on my card ;) It's a stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie. I thought she is perfect for the new Celebration collection from Maja Design. I just love all the patterns and colours. I decided to use pink and turquoise tones for this card. It looks so nice together and fits perfectly to the theme SWEETS.

 

 

I coloured the image with my Distress Inks and cut it out. The shape of my card I made with a Go Kreate cutting die. For the frame I used a cutting die from MFT. All the other dies are from Magnolia.

Behind the image are hide two tags. The tags have two sentiments from Stempelglede on it.

 

Behind the image I put some Scrapinec Chipboard. The sentiment SWEET is a cutting die from Kesi Art.

 

Is the little Sandal charm not cute? Love to hang such little highlights on my tags.

 

Hope you like my card and we see us soon.
