Clouds and babies

I need two baby cards (one boy, one girl), I saw the challenge from the Dutch Card Lovers (use clouds) and the challenge from A Passion for Papertrey (take your pick) and my brains started working! These ingredients were a perfect combination for a nice job. And it turned out quite well! I'm happy with it!

I'm still in love with PTI's Hanging out for baby cards and since a short time ago I'm the owner of the PTI cloud dies. So I distressed white paper with tea dye ink, stamped a bit, die cut the clouds out of the base paper and glued some designed paper on the back. The borders are made with MME Follow your heart and of course I did some stitching. The girls card is a bit more romantic with the seam binding, the boys card is a bit more clean. Maybe I had to use another cloud as well, but I didn't know the spot where to put the second one....

Thank you for stopping by!

P.s. By the way, if you have seen Cornelie's card (also a great one! check her post!) and might think I'm copying her, I made the card before I saw hers! We've got just the same taste, haven't we Cornelie?

Back in town - Passion for PTI

Back in town after a wonderful holiday! We travelled through Romania and Hungary, visited well known places and friends and explored new cities and areas! A good mix and lovely weather! And now enjoying our own house and bed, own stuff and spoiling Saar and Pien  a bit who had missed us a lot...

I'm not really in a full swing of making cards and other craft as I have made a start of painting my craft room. Next week it will be a guestroom for a little girl, so I have to be in a hurry.

But I can show you a card, made with Echo Park and PTI stamps (Fillable frames 3 and sentiment from the 'Up,up and away' set) . With this card I take part in this challenge of Passion for Papertrey.

Okay, the quality of the pictures could be better! I'm sorry, but I have posted this card already, so no other possibility to make a better one...

 

This post is just a little break in my summer break (or shall I say 'autumn' break LOL). I try to read your blogs as soon as possible, but the list is long....

Thanks for coming by! 

A passion for Papertrey Challenge - Invitations

The challenge from A passion for Papertrey for this time has to do with parties and invitations! Last September we had our annual family reunion and I made the invitations. I used the polka dot basics and  Up, up & away stamps set. 

I used Basic Grey - Olivia for the ballloons. When I see them now, maybe I would do something different to give a little more details on the card. Like a piece of cardstock to make a small frame or use some ribbon somewhere. But when I made those cards I really love them. And in fact, I still do!

Thanks for visiting!
