Let's fly away!

A boy in our church is severly ill. I wanted to send a card which hopefully makes him smile. I used the same idea as this card I made previously. For the boy is used the airplane from the Fly away set from Papertrey Ink. The papers are from SU. This boy has got a younger brother and I thought it would be nice to send him a card as well. Same idea, but different colours. I didn't add a sentiment, just because I don't know what kind of sentiment would be appropriate. I wrote a message inside and invited the boys to become the pilot of these airplanes. Hopefully they love these cards!

It was really hard to film and get the airplane moving at the same time.  Other times the airplane flew quite smoothly...

Hello!

For today's card I was inspired by Laurie Willison's card. Loved the way she did it.
So, I lifted her card, although I used another leaf stamp and stamped the leaves in straight lines. The stamp is a small 3 step one from Altenew's mini stamp 'Daisy'. The 'hello' die is from MFT stamps.

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!

Woodland wonders

After wo weeks of holiday and a studytrip to England, this week will be quite a normal week. Although today is a day off as well. Hopefully I still remember how to teach :). I couldn't craft a lot either, so today I show a card which I made a few weeks earlier. It is made with Avery Elle's Woodland Wonders. A set which was released last January and it was high on my wishlist. Love the trees and the critters.

one sketch, two cards

I have recently played with some paper pads from crate paper. I didn't use a specific sketch, but I came up with this one just by trying some things. I first created the brown card ( a get well card) and copied that one in a more colourful scheme (birthday).

Watercolouring

I have tried some water colouring recently. I heat embossed stamps from the SU What I love set and coloured them with distress inks. This is the result. I used a birthday die from Avery Elle and a wishes stamp from Papertrey Ink. I splashed some ink as the final touch.

Enjoy the weekend! 

London Mice parade

These London Mice from MFT stamps are joining  the parade singing a birthday song for our niece!
For this card I was inspired by Laura's spinner card tutorial . Aren't they adorable?

Special delivery

I received some happy mail yesterday! I ordered some stamp sets and coordinating dies which were released on the previous CHA by Avery Elle. With the set 'Special Delivery' I created two cards.
Love that stork!

 

Have you seen this tutorial by Jennifer McGuire about stamping solid clear stamps? I used it for these cards and it worked quite well! It gives a nice and even image of the banner stamp. The banner on the first is stamped with aqua mist from Papertrey Ink. Unfortunately, I can't get the colour right on this picture.

Thanks for hopping by and enjoy your weekend!

Flowers and texts

Last week a couple from our church got married. I attended the church service and saw a beautiful wreath with flowers on the front page of the order of service. It was also on their wedding card. That was the inspiration for the card! I stamped the bible text which the sermon was about on a card with the SU alphabet roller stamp, stamped flowers and branches with PTI's  Twig Wreath and adhered this front panel onto one of the plaid designs from Lawn Fawn.

I also needed a card for a 25th wedding anniversary. Same idea with a different text.

And as the Twig Wreath set was still on my desk I also stamped a very quick congrats card with a  Els Brigé stamp.

Thanks for hopping by and enjoy your day!

little one

It has been a long time ago that I created a card without any stamping at all. However, with Crate Paper's new baby line there is no need to stamp. In the paper pad are some small journaling cards which can be used in stead of sentiment stamps. These papers are from the 'boys' line. The background with dots is from Simple Stories.
