ABC Challenges: S is for Sparkle! Magnolia Easter card

Hi there and welcome to another ABC-Challenges challenge.
This week it's S for Sparkle!

Seriously, I'm not a bling-bling girl, but a little sparkle every now and then doesn't hurt, so I added some sparkles on Tilda's dress and the Easter eggs and here you have it to see for yourself...

And, as always... a detailphoto where you can see the sparkle a bit better...

Thank you very much for coming over! Hope you enjoyed the Easter card. I will probably send this one to my grandmother or my parents, not quite sure yet.

Anyways...thanks again and please visit the ABC-Challengesblog for the creations the other DT-members made, they are awesome! And why don't you join in all the fun?? Would be great to see you there! :)

Delft Tile Technique card

Hi there!

I'm not into swapping the way I used to do years ago, but every now and then I like to join a swap and this swap was hosted at one of my yahoogroups where we were challenged to make a Delft Tile Techniquecard. Never tried that technique before and living near Delft, I just knew I wanted to join in all the fun :)

And here you have it... my card...

I wanted to use the blue-white colorcombo as those are the colors used for the tiles (and other stuff you can buy).
Wanted to send my swappartner Dianna a small present with this card. First I wanted to send here a typical Delft tile colored product, but those are way too expensive *sorry*, or I had to buy her a fake one, but don't like those products, I just want quality, so bought her a card from The Netherlands. Hope she will enjoy that as well ;)

Anyways... that's all for now. Thanks for coming over and see you later! :)

DWYT Sketch #81

Hi there!

It's Thursday, 00.00 CET, so that means another DWYT-sketch for you!

I totally love the layout of this week's sketch, adjusted it a bit, my image isn't in the center of the card, but I think sketches are there for your inspiration and you have all the right to adjust them a bit :)

Anyways... I made a card I really don't like to make a lot, but are also necessary in life every now and then. I have a couple of sympathy cards already made, so I don't have to make one (or more) when they're really needed.

But here's the card. Inked the image only once, but stamped three times with it, that's where I got the lighter colors from. Think the image is just perfect for sympathy-cards.

This is my card for this week's DWYT-challenge. I would really appreciate it if you are able to visit the DWYT-blog for more inspiration from the DT.
And while you're there, why don't you just join us as well?? :) Would love to visit you!

Thanks for coming over and see you later! :)

New 4x4 card

Hi there!

Thanks for jumping to my blog :)
Hope you're having, or going to have, a special Sunday. Overhere the sun will be shining a lot so I've heard, so I'm wondering if this will happen after the drama that happened yesterday overhere in The Netherlands, Alpen a/d Rijn to be more precise.
My thoughts are with the people who are still in the hospital fighting for their lives, the people who saw it all happen, the people who lost loved ones and just everybody envolved. There's just no way to describe it all.....

But let's go to something else... made this card yesterday. Just using some scraps I wanted to use. Made it a 4"x4" card.
Once I used the die, I stamped the image with Baja Breeze, then again with Versamard and afterwards I put some holografic embossingpowder on top to make it shiny and heatembossed the powder. Really easy to make.
This card didn't take me longer than 15 minutes to make, just perfect! :)

Anyways... here you have it:

And from another angle:

This card will play in the following challenges:
- PTI: Make it monday: Heat embossing
- Craft your days away: Spots & Stripes
- Our creative corner: It's a Tea Party
- Crafty Catz Weekly challenge: Embossing
- MamiDoodles: Use diecut or punch
- Crafts & Me Challenges: Glitter
- Craft your passion: Anything goes
- Pink Paper Paradise: Anything goes

Thanks for coming over to visit!

See you later!

Hi there!

Anyways.. here's my take on this week's sketch:

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

ABC-Challenge: Ribbon

Hi there!

Welcome to another ABC-Challenge. This week it's time for the R for Ribbon.
And boy oh boy... do I looooooooooove ribbon! :)
Think I can run a little ribbonshop *lol*, but for some reason sometimes I still can't find the perfect ribbon for a project. But with SU-products it's really easy as most of the colors have ribbon as well, so just perfect!

Well... back to the challenge :)
I wanted to keep this challenge CAS, Clean And Simple, so didn't add to much to the card.
So here you have it...

And a little detailphoto to see the diamonds on the butterflies...

Did you notice I used the same butterflies I used on Sunday's cards? I bought that punch only about 1,5 week ago and was in doubt for a long time wether or not to buy it, but wow... I sure can't live without this punch anymore! I loooooooooove it!

Anyways... I hop you've enjoyed my card.
I'd appreciate it if you're able to go to the ABC-challengeblog to see what the other DT-members made. They sure did rock this week as well!
And while you're there... why don't you just play along? I know a lot of you people loooooooooove to use ribbon on your projects *lol*

For now it's time to say goodbye and see you later!

Basic Grey challenges: More than 1 fold

Hi there!

Welcome to another BasicGrey Challenges Challenge and this time the challenge is "More than one fold".
While cleaning up my scraproom I came across some fantastic Sizzixdies which haven't seen the BigShot yet, so thought it was a good thing to use one of them for this challenge to create this lovely bag PLUS this die is full of folds, just perfect! :)
Made this little bag for someone special who really deserves it.

This little bag is kinda out of the "normal" things I show overhere, nevertheless I totally love working this vintage style as well with those cute papers and laces.

And a close-up...

Thanks for coming over!
Please visit the BasicGrey Challenges blog as well so you can see the fabulous creations the other dt-members made :)

See you later!! :)


This bag is also playing in the following challenges:
