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!

Challenge Judith-Gerdine #7

Judith and I continue our challenges! A few weeks ago I received a great mix of patterned papers from Lilybee Design. What a gift! I had never worked with these papers before, but I had seen them many times on internet and I loved it. Judith has chosen the perfect set for me! With the paper I got many other supplies and three challenges. The first one was to create a card with a tag, scrapper's floss and a brad. So, I took of having an idea in mind. I really wanted to make a flower with several flower dies and I didn't want a very messy card. I started with the sketch and that was done in a moment. I just put the tag and the papers in this composition and it felt perfectly. Now the flower. Not that difficult. But the brad I got from Judith was too small to use as a centre. That's why I used a button (with scrapper's floss!). The sentiment is from PTI.

 

But on the card I did not use the brad. That is why I decided to make a tag. Thank you, Judith, for sending two tags! I punched out a smaller flower and here the brad fits perfectly. I added some floss and blue-white twine which I also got from Judith.

Let's go to Judith's blog and see what she has made!
