Molly Blooms boy birthday card

With another stamp from the Birthday Parade Magazine and the inspiration taken from the magazine, I created a boy birthday card.

There was a lot of measuring involved, but the end result is worth the effort - if I may say so myself.

Embellishments: Molly Blooms and Marianne Design twine.

Wedding card with Lili of the Valley stamps

I am finally back online after several days without any internet. Many phone calls and whatsnots later,... I can finally post another card of mine.
My friend got married on the 25th of May and this is the card I made specially for the newly weds.

An exquisite border die by Heartfelt Creations. If I could redo the card, I would have woven the ribbon through the die. I love the sparkling ribbon slide, just the right card to use it on.

The labels are coloured with pencils to match the main image. K&Co wedding papers.

Prima flowers, who needs more, but I did. I added Fruitpunch Stickles to the edge of the flower petals to get more sparkle. Some Melissa Frances pearls in ivory and pink.

The inside of the card with more K&Co wedding papers.

Frame made with Heartfelt Creations die by Spellbinders fits around the oval. The sentiment is from a wedding set by Hero Arts.

 I used Tim Holz Distress inks in vintage rose and spun sugar to stencil the frame and oval.

A shiny little trail, oh so pretty.

Faber Castell Polychromos pencils with Stickles and Ranger Pearls in Bisque.

Oh Happy Day

A happy weekend to you,
Hope you have time to enjoy the day. It is raining so that is a good excuse to stay indoors and craft. I have another spring theme card to share with you today.

I used another card from the Wild Card cartridge. I used American Crafts Tropical cardstock. The image is from Lili of the Valley, I like the funny bunny on his pogo stick. The flowers are from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, cut with their shadow image and layered. I used Making Memories brads to affix them to the card.

The paper is from the Lemonade collection by Basic Grey and the stickers too. I used a Martha Stewart border punch to create the scalloped edge.

Sweet Easter Greetings

Hi,

A Blessed Easter to everyone.
I have 2 cards to show you today with images from Lili of the Valley.

I have cut the card basis with the Cricut. Unfortunately my Gypsy died and I had no way to adjust the settings like I normally do. I am very disappointed with the lifespan of the Gypsy. 2 years is all I got out of it and it doesn't look good based on the comments left on the Cricut community. The leaf is from the same cartridge Wild Card.

The inside is also decorated with the same paper from the Lemonade collection by Basic Grey. The white area for writing a sentiment is made using a Spellbinders die.

The flower is made with circle dies from Spellbinders and some cotton fabric assembled with a Doodlebug brad. I love these brads, they are so soft. the sentiment stickers are also from Basic Grey.

All the images were coloured with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I just love them, they are so nice to work with, very easy to blend.

Happy Mother's Day

A happy day to all mothers, but especially my very own dearest and darling mother.

The designer paper is from Basic Grey June Bug. The card is embossed and left largely blank so there was room to add a handmade paper tissue flower. The flower is sprayed with Glimmer Mist Bubblegum. The leaf is from Spellbinders.

The image is from Lili of the Valley and coloured with polychromos. Unfortunately the paper got a dent in it and it looks as if she has a dirty cheek now :). The sentiment is from Woodware.
Enjoy your very special day everyone. Hugs.

Celebrate the New Year

Wishing you all a prosperous 2012. Hope you had a lovely time.
Here is my first card for the year with a Lili of the Valley image, which I thought was quite suitable for the theme.

 I used my new Polychromos pencils and Sansodor to colour the image. I used Basic Grey Kioshi papers.

Handmade tissue paper flowers, which I sprayed with Glimmer Mist, the die I used is from Marianne Design and the leaves are from Spellbinders.

Kioshi brads for the centres and vintage silver glass glitter on the edge of the bottom flower.

Love my new pencils. My Christmas present from my sweetheart, 120 Polychromos from Faber Castell in a mahogany box.

Hugs with a Motivet stamp

Hope you all enjoyed a lovely Christmas together.
I have a sweet and soft pastel shades card to share with this cute little hippo from Motivet.

I made the card from Tim Holz's Kraft resist paper and lined it with soft pastel pink card. The other papers are from Melissa Frances.

 The image is coloured with Cosmic Shimmerz.

The flower is made out of plain white paper with a Spellbinder die and the sprayed with Glimmer Chalk in Mint Choc Chip. The leaves are a die from Marianne Design and also sprayed with a few shades of Glimmer Mist. The sentiment is a stamp from Lili of the Valley.
