65!

My aunt is going to be 65 tomorrow. This card is in the mail right now. I used the same numbers dies from Lawn Fawn and gingham background as in my previous post. I die cut a bigger circle out of cardstock and stamped with PTI stamps an argylye background. The banner is from Avery Elle, the sentiment from Artemio and the little flowers from PTI.

Negative die cut

For a long time I have been admiring card made with the negative space die cutting technique, especially when letters and numbers are involved. After seeing this card by Els, I knew that I had to do something with this technique soon. This week I needed three cards and I found some really nice Alphabet and Numbers die sets from Lawn Fawn. Perfect for a card for a colleague who gave birth to a son. And for two couples who celebrated their 50th and 60th wedding anniversary. I kept the cards CAS and used only a small heart stamp and a sentiment besides the dies. As background a gingham pattern. For the first two I used foam tape to pop up the white part. For the third I just glued it onto the gingham background, but it actually lost the effect of the first two. So, no glue next time, just foam tape.

CFC Sketch

It has been a long time ago! Today I'm back with a card for Crazy for CAS. We've got a sketch for you. Very versatile and at the CFC blog are nice examples of my fellow team members.

I made a card using some vellum circles. At the back I hand drew some spirals with a marker. It gives a modern feeling and it is really easy to do. I added some spatters, thread, scored lines, sequins and a sentiment from Papertrey Ink.

Hop quickly over to the CFC-blog for the sketch, more examples and all the details. Looking forward to seeing your creations!

Thanks for coming by and enjoy your Saturday! 

Home sweet Home

Enjoy your weekend!

love #2

Last Friday Sanne of So Sanne got married. Judith gave me her address so I could send her a card! Although we don't know each other, I'm a big fan of her work and she gives me lots of inspiration.

I used papers from 'Dear Lizzy'. The background is made with SU Blushing Bride (!) and I used Perfect Pearls mixed with water for some spatters onto the card base. Of course, a card for Sanne should have a tag!

Happy love, Sanne & Yuri!

Love - DCL#219

I made a card with two little critters from the Lawn Fawn's Into the Wood set. I think they are in love! I stamped a background with the word 'love' made with Lawn Fawn's Milo's ABC in grey and once in red. I added a little glimmer at the wood veneer heart, made a 'circle' with some thread and finished it with a nice yellow stripe motif.
The new challenge at Dutch Card Lovers is all about text. As I don't possess quote stamps, I created a background with text.

Crazy for Cas #54 - wobble card

I admit I wasn't very happy with the new challenge at Crazy for Cas - make a wobble card. I'm not really fond of it because I don't have big circle dies or a circle cutter and I find it hard to make it CAS. However, it is a challenge, so I took it and I came up with a mini version! I used my biggest nestability-circles and made the 'wobble' by folding it. In the middle of the white circle I stamped 'love' with Lawn Fawn's Milo - ABC. From there I stamped with a very little heart stamp (also Lawn Fawn) in red and pinks.
In my opinion quite a CAS wobble card!

If you like to join us the challenge, hop quickly over to the CFC blog for all the details and more inspiration from the CFC-team!
Enjoy your Saturday!

SU Flowerpot

When I received the SU catalogue from Marit , last June, one product caught my attention immediately: the paperline 'Flowerpot'. Such bright colours, lovely little flowers and stripes and dots.
Today, I show you some cards I've made with these papers!

The first one is a card for a newborn. I used Avery Elle's Storybook and Balloons stamps. The grassy border is from Lawn Fawn as well as the ABC.

A congrats cards, made with Lawn Fawn stamps. I used 'wink of stella' for some glitter effect on the hippo.

For the third one I used a stamp from PTI and a star die from Lawn Fawn.

And last but not least, quite CAS and also some wink of stella glitter for the party effect:

Oh Darling!

With some goodies from the 'Oh Darling!'line by Crate Paper I made two cards. One for a baby girl and a small square card for a birthday girl.

I've been a student again since last week. I have started a Master English. It will be time consuming, but I hope to find some time for card making as well! During an intake which I had with one of the lecturers I got one advice: "Make time for one hobby, otherwise you won't manage. It helps to relax!"
Of course, I will follow that advice!

Enjoy your weekend!

love

Today's card is made for a wedding anniversary. I gave it a bit of a romantic look by using pinks and reds, hearts and and a lovely 'love' die from Clearly Besotted Stamps. Creating a background with daubers is so easy to do and I love the effect. In my previous post, I sponged the ink on watercolour paper. For this card I used smooth cardstock. Both work fine! The little hearts are stamped with a little stamp from a Lawn Fawn set. The bigger heart is from MFT. Designpaper is from Glitz Design.
