Say it with flowers

Last few weeks I haven't been blogging much  due to the start of a new school year. It always is a busy time with introduction, preparing new lessons, meetings and of course meeting new students and remeeting students I taught last year. And last week I was back in college as well in order to follow lectures to get my qualification as teacher of English. Only until January I have to attend lectures and hopefully I can finish it off somewhere in spring 2014. Looking forward to it!

So, not that much time for blogging myself, visiting other blogs or creating cards and other crafts.
Only one card to share with you. Made with SU paper, PTI's  Rosie Posie and birthday die and stamp. The give the card a bit more dimension I embossed a circle with a Spellbinders die and I love the effect.

I wish you all a very nice weekend!

To you. From me. With love.

I know, I know... Again another card without patterned papers. In the coming days I'm going to try a card with patterned paper! Promised :)
For this card I used the big flower in the Rosie Posie stamp set. I didn't know how to use this stamp, until I saw someone using a scalloped circle as shape for this flower and that's the trick! With  the Rosie Posie step 2 set you can add a bit more to this flower.
I used the small flower stamps as a background and added some leaves from the Mini Blooms set. Sentiment is from the latter set as well.

 Enjoy today! Hopefully a day without only dark clouds, but a few glimpses of sunshine as well...

Say hello with roses

For this card I pulled out a favourite stamp set in the past, namely Off Beat backgrounds from WMS. I stamped a grid as background and cut out a circle. The sentiment is stamped on the card and I put the grid paper with foam on the card to give it depth. The roses are (again) from PTI's Rosie Posie.

Have a lovely Whitsun Weekend and see you soon!

Happy Mother's Day - CfC Challenge #18

Both our mothers will get a basket with a hydrangea tomorrow. And of course a card!
Using flowers on a Mother's Day card is always perfect and the inspiration photo of the Crazy for Cas Challenge helped me for sure! As I don't possess a hydrangea stamp nor a ranunculus, I've chosen the Rosie Posie set of Papertrey Ink. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Stamps. I embossed the background with the hexagon impression plate to give the card a little more dimension.

 

So, this was the last post in my holiday. I don't think I can post in this pace for the coming weeks, but I will do my best! Enjoy your saturday and thanks for coming by!
