Love birds

My holiday has started! Looking forward to having a bit of free time and hopefully craft time! The holiday started well as I received two sets from Clearly Besotted Stamps  yesterday. I found these stamps last week on the Internet and as I was still looking for stamps for wedding and engagement cards I ordered the set Paired Up and a sentiment set. Perfect sets for  quick cards. Of course, I made some cards yesterday evening! Here they are:

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!

With Sympathy

I had to send a sympathy card and decided to make one myself. I think all card makers are struggling with these cards. It is so hard to create a card which is sober and without frills. I got some inspiration from Nichole Heady with this card.
I used PTI's Botanical Silhouttes for the sentiment and Rosie Posie for the flowers. I scored two lines at both sides of the sentiment , but it is hardly visible on the picture.

Okay, back to work now. Only a few days and the holiday starts. Looking forward to it! By the way I passed all my tests, thank you for all your 'good lucks'!

Have a nice day!

Birthday Card

I'm busy marking lots of tests. Next week we have to fill in the marks for the report, so that means a busy period.  And for my own studies I had to finish some assignments. This morning I finished the last one for the first semester of the year. During a break I made this card. After the row of CAS cards in previous posts it was time for making a card in my own style (although these CAS cards are part of my style too, I guess). Hopefully, Cornelie is satisfied right now! She was a bit complaining about missing my own (patchwork) style in the previous posts. LOL!

I made the card with Simple Stories - Summer Fresh. The sun is a stamp from PTI"s Up, Up and Away.

Challenge Judith-Gerdine #7

Judith and I continue our challenges! A few weeks ago I received a great mix of patterned papers from Lilybee Design. What a gift! I had never worked with these papers before, but I had seen them many times on internet and I loved it. Judith has chosen the perfect set for me! With the paper I got many other supplies and three challenges. The first one was to create a card with a tag, scrapper's floss and a brad. So, I took of having an idea in mind. I really wanted to make a flower with several flower dies and I didn't want a very messy card. I started with the sketch and that was done in a moment. I just put the tag and the papers in this composition and it felt perfectly. Now the flower. Not that difficult. But the brad I got from Judith was too small to use as a centre. That's why I used a button (with scrapper's floss!). The sentiment is from PTI.

 

But on the card I did not use the brad. That is why I decided to make a tag. Thank you, Judith, for sending two tags! I punched out a smaller flower and here the brad fits perfectly. I added some floss and blue-white twine which I also got from Judith.

Let's go to Judith's blog and see what she has made!

Thanks for coming by!

Valentine style

No, I'm not really into Valentine's Day, but when I saw the challenge on the new, sparkling challengeblog 'Cas on Sunday' I thought: let's give it a try! And here is my card:

The card is made with MFT Homespun Hearts and MME Nostalgia. The background is distressed with Antique Linen and all the borders with Tea Dye.

Have a nice evening and thanks for stopping by!
