Magnolia Christmas Present Tilda

Hi there and goodmorning to you all!

Right now I'd like to show you a Christmascard I've been making yesterday. Oh, I sure love those papers I used a lot! Just love red and green (they're my fave colors) and these are all Christmassy :)
Used a lovely Christmas Tilda as well, though you can easily adjust the image for a birthdaycard etc.
Made the card using a sketch I made over a week back and was my last one for the DWYT-blog.

So here you have it... another Christmascard:



And 2 detailshots, so you can hopefully see the glitter on Tilda's dress:

CAS-style card

Hi there and Happy Sunny Sunday!

Wow! The sun has been shining overhere all day, and yes, that's something it hasn't done a lot the last couple of weeks.
Like to show you a card I made today for some CAS-challengeblogs. Totally love those style of cards a lot, but sometimes quite difficult to actually make one (inspiration got lost etc.).

But... here's a card made with distressinks. If you know a site where I can find some colors that match good, please tell me! Looking for it! :)

Anyways.. here's my card. First inked the background and afterwards I inked up one of my newest stamps. Love those flowers! :)



Thanks for coming over! :)
Hope to see you again soon ;)


This card will play in the following challenges:
- CAS-ual Fridays: Sketch (tried a new technique with layering stamps)
- Less Is More: One Layer Card
- Clean and Simple: Sketch
- Challenge Up Your Life: No patterned paper
- Poodles Parlour: Anything found in the garden

Just a note

Hi there!

Today I like to show you another CAS-card I made a few weeks ago.
When I first saw the stamps, I immediately knew I "had" to have them :) Think you know what I'm talking about, you might have the same experiences as me when it comes to stamps (and papers, and embellishments, and ribbon, and... and... and.... *lol*)

I just knew I wanted to make a card like this with the colorcombo. Just love it, so fresh and those colors totally make me happy!

Really easy to make card, just about 5 minutes (if you're not distracted by cats who suddenly need your attention real badly *lol*). Stitched (without the thread) a line at the bottom of the card.

Here you have it:






Thanks for visiting me :)


See you later!

CAS Baby cards

Hi there!


Welcome again. Hope you're enjoying youself as much as I do at the moment.

Today I like to show you 2 babycards I made a couple of weeks ago.
They're really CAS, easy to make, but great to make.

The sentiment says "A small wonder" in Dutch.
This is just one of the Dutch sentiment stamps I have. Don't have that many as I think the Dutch sentiments aren't that good. It sounds better when you say it in English.

Anyway... here you have my cards, one for a girl and the other one for a boy's birth.



Thanks for coming over and see you later! :)

Just a little something

Hi there!

It's time to show you a real easy to make card, ready within 5 minutes :)
Oh, I do love those cards. I like to make these kinda cards for sending them with small little somethings, so the person who receives it, has a little extra.

The cardbase is 4"x4", so I made 4 out of 1 12"x12" cardstockpaper. Love this size for small cards.
Then I distressed the edges of the base with my Tim Holtz distresser.
After that I stamped the bamboo image from PTI with versamark and stamped the PTI sentiment with Archival Sepia ink and afterwards I gave the leaves some  sparkles with a Spica-pen.
Easy-peasy *lol*

And there you have it... my card:



And a detailphoto where you can see some sparkles:



This card is already on it's way to someone with something in it. Hope she will appreciate it ;)

Thanks for coming over and see you later!


Spesch Stamps Release Day!

Hi there!

Today is THE day! It's the release of the newest Spesch Stamps *whoowhoo!!*
We have 2 images to show you today.
I will show you "Girl with cat" today. I just looooooooove this image! Very grunge.
When I first started out this card, I thought the girl should have purple hair, but when I took a 2nd look, I thought black would be better.
I just soooooooooo love the hair! (might have to do with my Kindergartenteacher had such long hair as well and I always wanted it, but didn't succeed :))


So here you have my card. 





Please go to the Spesch Stamps blog to see the creations the other DT-members have made and which other image will be previewed as well :)

PLUS:
The images are now available for purchase at Spesch Stamps! *whoowhoo!!*


Thanks for coming over and see you later!

Spesch Stamps Release Day 3

Hi there!

Today it's day  of the newest Spesch Stamps *whoowhoo!!*
We have 2 images to show you today and the last 2 tomorrow :)
I will show you "Snow White" today. I think she's a bit of an alternative Snow White, but I totally love the image with the hair and dress.
Should be a great Halloweencostume as well!


So here you have my card. Think the sentiment is pretty funny :)




Please go to the Spesch Stamps blog to see the creations the other DT-members have made and which other image will be previewed as well :)

Basic Grey Challenges: Sizzling Summer

Happy Saturday!

It's time for another Basic Grey Challenge! Whoowhoo!!
Don't know about you, but overhere in The Netherlands we hardly saw sun the last couple of weeks. Fortunately the last days the sun has shined a lot and it was quite warm as well, but for the other weeks it sometimes felt like Fall.
But... we're still in Summertime, so what better way to celebrate it with this fortnight's theme: Sizzling Summer!

I used a stamp I haven't used in over a year, so was quite happy to ink it up again :)
Think this stamp defenately means Summer.




And a detailphoto where you can see the glitter a bit better:



Thank you very much for coming over!
Please check out the Basic Grey Challenges blog for more info how you can participate and to see the creations the other DT-members have made. Thanks!

See you later! :)

Please go to the Spesch Stamps blog to see the creations the other DT-members have made and which other image will be previewed as well :)

DWYT Sketch #97 Time to say goodbye...

Hi there and welcome to another DWYT sketch, this time made by me :)


Unfortunately it will be my last one *sniff* I will make for this DT.
School will start within a few weeks and next year will be a tough one. Will not go into details, but I really need my energy and need to focus on myself.
Normally I can find a good balance, but have to find it this year a bit better, so I made this tough decision to stop with this DT :(

Hi en welkom bij een nieuwe DWYT-schets, deze keer weer door mij gemaakt :)
Helaas zal dit mijn laatste schets zijn die ik voor dit DT maak.
Het werk start binnenkort weer en komend jaar wordt een pittig jaar. Zal niet in details treden, maar ik heb mijn energie nodig en moet dus even richten op mijzelf.
Normaal gesproken kan ik een goede balans vinden, maar dit jaar moet ik het iets rustiger aan doen, dus heb de moeilijke beslissing genomen om met dit DT te stoppen :(But.... I'm not gone yet... so here you have my last sketch:
Maar.... ik ben nog niet vertrokken, dus hierbij mijn laatste schets:





And the card:


And some detailphotos:




So this is it for me.... the last one *sniff*
Please visit the DWYT-blog for more info and to see the other creations from the DT-members.

Last of all I'd like to thank all of you for your sweet comments and support during this year I was a DT-member of the DWYT-blog. Thank you! I hope you will continue to visit me :)

*edit*
I will still be creative, also be posting on this blog, just not this DT ;)
And I defenately will be using my Maggies a lot, and the ones that Magnolia will bring out in the future (even though I defenately don't like their increased prizes!)


Zo... dit is het voor mij, de laatste *snik*
Neem een kijkje op het DWYT-blog voor meer info plus DT-call (!!!) en om de creaties van de andere DT-members te zien.

Tot slot wil ik jullie graag bedanken voor jullie lieve commentaar en support tijdens het afgelopen jaar dat ik DT-member voor het DWYT-blog mocht zijn.
Bedank! Ik hoop dat jullie mij willen blijven bezoeken :)

Dus doe gezellig mee, het weer is nu niet echt zomers te noemen (op gisteren en maandag na), dus niets beters dan heerlijk scrappen, stempelen, creatief bezig zijn.




Hierbij mijn kaartje wat ik heb gemaakt. Vind de Tilda's van deze collectie echt geweldig leuk.



En een detailfoto voor wat glitter:



Doen jullie ook gezellig mee met deze challenge van Scrapdelight?? Geweldig!
