Love

Months ago I ordered embossing paste. The can had been on my desk for several weeks before it disapperead  somewhere in my cupboard. Without using it. However, there is so much inspiration on the Internet and it called me many times: use me! Well, here is the first result. I used a stencil from Studio Calico, stamped two hearts from MFT's Homespun Hearts. I added some glimmer mist and, hardly visible, white thread. I stamped a sentiment with Lawn Fawn's Milo ABC on a banner. Perfect card for a newly-wed couple.I am quite satisfied!

Do you know that Crazy for Cas currently has a challenge 'use stencils'? Hop over to the blog for more details.Thanks for coming by!

Happy Anniversary

I made this car for a couple who will celebrate their 40th wedding day soon. I used the dies from MFT's Homespun Hearts and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted Stamps. Patterned paper from Glitz Design. It is hardly visible, but I distressed the background with Antique Linen and stamped diagonally a grid with Old Paper - distress ink.It had been a long time ago since I used stitches on a card. But my sewing machine still worked. Actually I'm not really happy with the doily. I'd better put it a bit lower...

Enjoy your weekend! Thanks for coming by.

Homespun Hearts

In my previous post I told you I got my order with the MFT's Homespun Hearts. I ordered the heart stamps, the heart dies and hearts border die. This weekend I made a card and I'm very satisfied with the result. In special the border die is a great addition to my craft stock. I used the papers of MME Nostalgia.

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately I have to wait a bit before a can do more with this set. First of all I have to finish the tests before crafting... One week to go!

Thanks to the snow I didn't have any difficulty with taking pictures today. A perfect light tent! It is so bright inside although there is no sunshine at the moment. I was so glad I didn't have any problems this morning to travel to school. We were right on time and we  drove only an extra 15 minutes over 50 km. However, some of my students were less fortunate....

By the way, I usually upload pictures to my blog directly from my laptop. But it looks like it isn't possible anymore. Do you know why it is or do I have to thick a box somewhere? Now, I have to upload the photos first to picasaweb. A bit time consuming, isn't it?

Enjoy your day. I'm in a hurry to my studybooks! Thanks for coming by.
