CFC #60 - Anything goes

Today the CFC blog launches the last challenge of 2014! 'Anything Goes' it the theme. So, use your fantasy, leftovers of Christmas cards or whatever project you did previously and design a nice CAS-card. In these days of Christmas cards I fancied something different and that's why I made a card with some stuff by Dear Lizzy. It has got a bit of summer in it. I really like the text.


We are looking forward to your cards. Hop over to the CFC blog for more details and a link-up!
Thanks for coming by and enjoy your weekend!

watercolour

I have seen so many beautiful cards with watercolour techniques, that I had to give it a try. I neither followed any course nor read any tutorials about this technique. I only watched this video by Betsy Veldman, altough I used distress inks instead of dye inks. It is quite fun and I love the quick result you have. The stamp set is perfect for this technique. I will practise a little more and maybe I can show you some more cards in the future!



I'd like to participate in the CASology challenge for this week where it is all about flowers!
Thank your for coming by and I wish you a nice Sunday!

add: The watercolour challenge is still open at the 'bij oma Dee' blog, so I linked my card there as well!

Hello hexagons!

A few weeks ago I got an invitation to participate in the Design Team of the Crazy for CAS blog. As you can imagine, it didn't take much time to say yes to this challenge!

Today  my first contribution. The challenge is: use hexagons. That's no punishment for me at all. I used my PTI hexagon plate to die cut some hexagons from Crate Paper's 'The Pier'. I did some nonchalant stitching, added glimmer mist and to finish it off I used two pieces of washi tape. The 'hello' sentiment is from Jillibean and wood veneer embellishment from Studio Calico.
All together quite a messy card, but I like it!






And what about you? Are you playing along with this week's challenge? Hope so!





Maybe you have already seen the change of the name of this blog. I wasn't happy with the blogname as it looked a bit weird: handmade with Saar and Pien. They aren't ingredients for my craft at all... Actually, it was a great example of Dunglish! I like to use Saar and Pien in my blog's name, so I thought of Studio Saar & Pien. The address hasn't changed, so all the older links should work properly.
Enjoy your weekend!

Washi tape

I needed a babycard, I bought some washi tape last week and I saw the challenge on the 'Crazy for CAS' blog: use washi tape. And an idea was born. So I grabbed the tape, twine, ink, ribbon and papertrey's baby stamp + die and this is the results. I'm really happy with it.




The washi tape with hearts was a gift from Stella. The others are 'Echt Hema'. With the same tapes I made a photo or card hanger with clothespins. Very easy and quickly done!



Tests are over and I'm waiting for the results. At school we have the last weeks and they are rather busy than relaxed. Longing for the summer break!

Thanks for your visit!

DCL #152 - Tape it!

As winner of the DCL challenge of twee weeks ago I was asked to participate as guest designer in the challenge of today! So I did!

The challenge is to use tape! Well, washi tape is a best seller these days, but I  hadn't any singe tape roll. So, I went to our local Hema and they had left me a few designs (it is really a must have I guess, even to teenagers!). But it was enough for making this card! I didn't have a special sketch in mind, so I just stuck the tape on the base card to see what would happen. I had some left overs from MME on my desk (which contains a huge pile of stuff!) and those snips fitted perfectly on the tape. By the way, it's not only washi tape, but also the so called cute tape.

The sentiment is from the PTI 2012 Birthday Tags and stamped with Memento Sky Blue. In real it is a bit darker and better readable.






Anyway, I think I'm hooked! What about you?
Check the DCL blog for more details about this challenge and enjoy the fun of taping!

Have a nice weekend!
