10 x 10

Today a 10x10 card. Made with some Studio Calico papers, a stitched rectangle die from Lawn Fawn, a leave die from Simply Graphic and twine. The sentiment (Dutch abbreviation for Congrats) is stamped with the SU Alphabet Roller stamp. A quick and easy card to create!

Thanks for hopping by!

Hello January

The year has started beautifully with lots of sunshine which gives me energy to start at school next Monday. I really love the Christmas break, but going back to 'regular' life is good also. Today I will do my preparations for next week's lessons and in between tasks I hope to create a card as well. In the last few days I cleaned my craft room and decluttered it (which was really necessary...) and I made some cards as well.
Today one of the birthday cards I created. I used some Studio Calico papers, a leaves die from Maggie Holmes and a birthday set by PTI.

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for coming by!

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!

Say hello to the camera!

When I ordered a couple of things here I stumbled upon a stampset of Amy Tangerine. I have seen LO's from her before, but never seen her products. One stampset called me: 'buy me, I'm nice'. So, I did (I'm very obedient...). One stamp I like in particular and that's the camera. Nowadays you see them everywhere in the 'Project Life' albums, but it works very well on a card as well. I coloured the camera in colours I liked, without any idea how to use it in a card. When I finished colouring I didn't now what to do, as I couldn't think of any matching paperline. Fortunately, I ordered in the same order also a paperpad of Studio Calico, Snippets. I didn't have a proper look at it  yet, but some of the papers matched perfectly with my colouring. So I cut two strips. Stamped a grid (from the same Amy Tangerine set), added some glimmermist, cut out the Hello sentiment, choose a wood veneer embellishment and put all the ingredients together with some stitching and staples.

I'm sure more cameras will follow!
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by.
