Hopping bunny

My sister in law asked me to make a 'thinking of you' card with Avery Elle's Woodland Wonders. I saw a great card from Vera Rhuhay and I lifted that idea. I used a paper pad from Lawn Fawn for the hill side. The frame is from Mama Elephant and the sentiment from Papertrey Ink.

 

 

 

 

I'd like to participate in the current challenge at addicted to Stamps and More challenge - anything goes

Birthday shaker

I made this card for Rhodé´s birthday which was a couple of weeks ago, but I forgot to show it here...
It´s made with a Crate Paper´s paper pad and the birthday die from Mama Elephant is one I borrowed.from Rhodé.

You!

The current challenge at the City Crafter's blog is 'You'. This morning before the warmth overtook my craftroom I made a card with Mama Elephant's Chance of Rain. Nope, I'm not hoping for a shower of rain during these summerdays in the Netherlands, but showers of joy are always welcome. Perfect sentiment for this challenge as the 'you' is in capital letters to put emphasise on it!

Birthday post!

Our niece celebrates her 7th birthday today. I made her a tag and will attach it to her birthday present.
A couple of weeks ago Rhodé borrowed a few stamp sets, among them the Sunday Stroll set from Mama Elephant. She made this interactive card with the set and I left her a comment that I was going to copy that idea! So, here it is. The papers are from Crate Paper, the tag and text dies are from Avery Elle.

 

I am quite sure our niece will like this tag!
Thanks for coming by!

P.s. The Dutch Card Lovers challenged us to lift a card from a designer. I didn't create this tag on purpose for this challenge, but I think it will fit. I have known Rhodé for a year or so. She is a very talented card maker and has developed her own style in a very short time. And the best thing: she lives in my town! It is definitely inspiring when you have someone near by with whom you can share materials and ideas! After I created this card and wrote this blog post I visited her blog for the link to the card. There I saw that she lifted my card. Isn't that funny?! And that is why I thought: let's link this card to the DCL challenge. OK, that was quite a long p.s... I quit for now!

Twin brothers

I made a card for newborn twin brothers. I thought that these stamps from Mama Elephant's Sunday Stroll would be appropriate although they are not really about babies and so on. I don't have a specific sentiment for twins and I had not enough space on my card to add a sentiment, so I decided to leave the card without one and to just write a message inside.

Post

Two cards made with Mama Elephant's Sunday Stroll. Just because it is nice sending postcards without any reason at all.

Thanks for stopping by!

Chance of Rain

We didn't have any rain at all during our holiday, so that is perhaps the reason why I created two cards with Mama Elephant's 'Chance of Rain' stamp set. Although we had lots of rain when we came back home... I created a cloudy sky with Lawn Fawn's Puffy Clouds. Don't you love that little bear? I added some 'Wink of Stella' at the second umbrella. I often buy stamps with dies, but this time I cut the images with my sciccors and I am quite happy with the result. And it saves lots of money as dies are quite expensive! Recently I bought Tim Holtz' softgrip scissors which definitely helps me to cut more precisely. I can recommend these scissors!

 

Speaking about umbrellas, during our trip through Italy we visited Ferrara and we saw this 'umbrella street'. Love a project like this!

summer break

Finally, summer break has arrived! Last Wednesday I had my final test for this schoolyear, yesterday I handed in my last assigment and today was our last schoolday. It was quite a busy time, but I have survived! Before leaving blogland for a while I've got one card for you. And that's all I did in the previous weeks. It is made with Mama Elephant's Sunday Stroll. Such a lovely set.

I wish you all a lovely summer period and see you back somewhere in August!

Lift challenge #87

When I saw the current liftchallenge I knew that I wanted to lift this card for a special occassion. Last week Marit gave birth to a little girl. Of course I had to make her a special card. I used some papers from Fancy Pants (see this post). The stamps with the hedgehog and umbrella are from Mama Elephant. I stamped the name with Lawn Fawn Milo's ABC. As you can see I adjusted the card a little. I started with a background and used the sketch of the lift card. However, the little hedgehog is looking to the right. I didn't like that little guy standing on the right side of the card looking somewhere far away. That is why I decided to put the cluster of banners, squares, buttons and stamps to the left side and stamp the name on the right side.

The post did a good job and deliverd the card today, Marit wrote me! Always a bit afraid that a card will get lost somewhere in that huge pile of cards, letters and packages...

Ella and her friends

Next Monday we have our annual family day. I promised one of my cousins to bring some cards for sale. That's why I'm quite busy in my craftroom at the moment to get a stock of cards. For now I've got two cards for you made with Mama Elephant's Ella and Friends set and Crate Paper's Poolside 6x6 pad. The sentiment on the first card is from Papertrey Ink. The card is 12,5 x 12,5. The balloons on the second one from Avery Elle. This card is 10x10.

Enjoy your weekend!
