BasicGrey Challenges: Celebrations

Hi there and welcome to another BasicGrey Challenge!

Celebrate good times... come on!

It's a great one (as usuall!), and this time it's time to celebrate! So what are you waiting for...there's just sooooo much in life to celebrate!

As I'm already in the Christmasmood with all my cards, I've made a Christmascard. It's become a real CAS one, sooooooo simple to make, within 5 minutes time! So just perfect for the last minute Christmascards.

I used the awesome BasicGrey paperpad Jovial. Just loooooooooove those Christmascolors!
Finished the card with a button and a PTI sentimentstamp. Just perfect :)

Thank you very much for coming over!
Please visit the BasicGrey Challengesblog for the other creations the DT has made and I would like to invite you to play along with us :)

See you later!

Wags 'n Whiskers challenge: Anything but a card

Hi there!

It's time for another Wags'nWhiskers challenge, this time set by me. It's time to make "anything..... but a card" :)

And this is my project, a bookmark. I really needed one badly, so this challenge was the perfect one to make one and here you have it. Pulled out my Derwent's after a long time not seen on this blog (I just don't show everything I make) and colored on craft.

I used "Rhiannon" (you can buy her here or here) as my image. Just loooooooove those fairies!
Thank you very much for coming over!
Please visit the Wags'nWhiskers blog to see what the other DT-members have made (they are AMAZING!!!). I would love to invite you to play along and see what you do with this challenge.

See you later! :)

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 :)

Thanks for coming over and see you tomorrow for the last preview and I.... well... totally love that one. But won't spoil it, you'll have to visit tomorrow :)
