Autumn foxy

Hi,
I made another autumn flavoured card. 'cause although I hate the arrival of the darker days, I do love the changes in nature and the autumn colours.
I have used my Cricut and Gypsy for this card and the Give a Hoot cartridge to cut this swirly fox. The leaves are a cut from the Flowershoppe cartridge.

I used Basic Grey papers for the card and some old cardstock which I coloured with Distress inks to make it match the paper.

I particularly love this frame from Spellbinders and you'll be seeing this quite a lot on my cards. The sentiment is from Hero Arts and the flourish stamp is from TCP studio. I embossed it in dark brown ink and added Antique linen stain to the punched label.
I am off to prepare diner and if I am not too tired, I might play with my goodies from the NEC or we'll be watching a movie; The Pacific series.

Crafty Secrets: Tea with Alice stampset

It's a very important date... with this lovely gate fold card. I used this adorable stamp set from Crafty Secrets, who have the most darling stamps I have seen. So glad they sell this side of the ocean.
I used my score-pal to make the card from a 5 1/4x 12 piece of American Crafts cardstock. I bought a score-mat this weekend at Crafts U Love and it's my best tool ever.

I used Eline's Babies paper from Marianne Design and Ledger paper from Making Memories. I stamped and inked with Adirondack Latte.

The doily is sprayed with Old Lace, Crème de Chocolate and Vintage Rose Glimmer Mist. The ribbon is from Marianne Design.

 I stamped little roses on tea pot and cup.

The flower is made with the Flowershoppe cartridge and sprayed with a remainder of pearl Glimmer Mist to which I added water and used to wet the paper to be able to mould.

The completed card with added pink pearls in the cut-outs from the Platin Schoolbook cartridge.

Baby shower gift and card

Hello,
I just want to share with you the gift I made for my colleague's baby. It is a baby bouquet made out of baby clothing and silk flowers. I rolled all the little clothes and wrapped them with floral tape on to wooden dowels.

 When I bought all the stuff, I didn't know if it was going to be boy or girl. It's a girl and I am pleased with the colour scheme.

The items are: a velvet jumpsuit with a little hat, 4 pairs of socks, 1 pant, 1 long-sleeved onesie and 1 bib.

The card I made when the baby was born. I used a Sizzix Hello Kitty die with October Afternoon paper.
The flower is from Prima with Glimmer Mist and faux stitching with a Making Memories eyelet and Doodlebug velvet brad.

 The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and the trim from Making Memeories. The card is cut with my Gypsy and using Accent Essentials.

I used Glossy accents for the eyes and nose and coloured with Copics.

Celebrate

Another card with an Elisabeth Bell image.

I coloured with Caran d'Ache watercolour pencils, but adjusted the colour to fit with the K&Co paper.

I made a larger card this time and used a cut from the Damask Decor with the little tea-cup and tea-pot.

A close-up of the detailed cut with added Stickles. The sentiment is by Hero Arts.

 The inside is also decorated with the DP from K&Co paper Que Sera Sera.

Apple shaped card

Hello and welcome to my blog,
I have a card to share with you today; it's another shape card made with my Cricut and Gypsy in the shape of an apple. I used another Magnolia stamp coloured with Distress inks for my card and used K&Co Que Sera Sera paper to decorate interior and exterior.

I used Patina Stickles and distressed the edges of the paper. The sentiments are from Hero Arts and I used a Fiskars squeeze punch to cut them out. The flower and leaves are also made with punches.

The lace is sprayed with Spring Rain and Moonlight Glimmer Mist. I  used gunpowder pearls from Papermania for the flower center and some accents.

A close-up of Tilda with her apple bucket. These images are really fun to colour and I am finding my way with the Distress inks from Tim Holz, so much that I have even bought more colours.

The inside of the card with Hero Arts sentiment.
We went on a short break to London this weekend and had a lovely time. We stayed in the absolute center of London between baker Street and Oxford Street. We visited the National Gallery, Camden Market, Fortnum and Mason, The Royal Academy of Arts, Covent Garden, Soho, the Liberty department store and so much more until our legs ached. We ended our days in China Town where we went for dinner and had a very good time. Just some pictures to share, we actually didn't take many and I didn't bother at all.

The Stables Market with lots of stalls and food and drinks.

 Lovely sculptures at the Stables.

The railway bridge above the Lock and barges

 The locks.

 A lot of shops at Camden High Street are decorated with this type of artwork, making it a really fun street.

 Outside the Royal Academy of Arts.

You are truly amazing

Hello,
My Magnolia card for today is going to be entered at Just Magnolia Week 120: sentiments - challenge.

I have used BG Kioshi paper for this card and American Crafts textured cardstock. I have used the wrapped gift cut from A Child's Year for the front and the interior of the card and decorated it with Stickles. All other cuts are made with Spellbinders. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I sprayed my ribbon with Glimmer Mist Chalkboard Grape Ape.

The interior of the card with a little note-card to hider a gift card in. The little card is a cut from the Damask Décor cartridge.

It is very detailed design and a bit hard work for the Cricut, especially if you don't get the settings right the first time.

Sweet

How time flies! It is the last week of August already and I haven't been posting.
I have got some card ready and I am halfway through making my holiday album which I have made from scratch.
My card for today is made with an Elisabeth Bell image and a cut from Doodlebug cartridge welded with the Gypsy.

I have used October Afternoon papers and the image is coloured with watercolour pencils.

The SWEET sentiment is from the Stamped cartridge. I have added some green Stickles around the wholes to highlight. Distressing is done with Pumice Stone and Peeled Paint.

Some leaves cut with Spellbinders and some lace and Basic Grey buttons.

I used American Crafts textured cardstock and left the inside blank apart from the sentiment.

Get Better

This post is dedicated to my dear friend Loretta.
I know you are having a rough time sweetie. I wish I could do something for you.
At times like these I feel so useless. Just know that I am thinking of you always and praying for you.
I made a card for you on my Cricut to let you know I am missing you. Actually I know of a lot of people missing you... They are missing your jolly personality.
Ever seen such a blingy Band Aid? I had to add glitter, 'cause we 're girls isn't it?

 The cuts are from the Wild card cartridge, cut in 5.59 inch. I used DCWV and Coordinations cardstock.
The paper is from the Nonsense collection from We R MemoryKeepers.

The inside of the card reads:" missing you" and is a cut from the Stamping cartridge.

Every good card comes with a matching envelope, how else?
Hope to see you this week and you 're feeling better soon.
Lots of love and a big hug from me.

Buds Box Card

Hello,

I have been missing for a couple of days, but only because I have been working on this sweety.

It is a box card, well actually a shakerbox with my card attached to the front of it.

I have made my own felt roses and leaves. I coloured the ribbon on the front with Copics and the lace with Glimmer Glam in Pink Lipstick.

I love Glimmer Glam and Glaze and the Mists, so glad I discovered them. This little stamp is from Sugar Nellie and of the artist Elisabeth Bell.

 This little felt flower is from MM.

Inside the box is my flower garden. I have changed all the flowers with Glimmer.

 On the tag is a Hero Arts Friends sentiment stamp.

 So lovely these Prima leaves.

A butterfly border with Glimmer Glam. Really good stuff as it makes the embellishments a bit stiffer and sturdier.

 Even the back of the box is decorated.

 Another detail of the flowers. You can click on them to enlarge.

 All the glitter used and some...

And some of the items used.
Hope you like it.
