A Christmascard

Here's another card with a stamp that hasn't seen ink overhere (bought this one from someone else who did use it). It's an Elisabeth Bell image for Whiff of Joy.
I totally love the EB stamps... they are so pure, full of joy.
Thought it was also time to make a Christmascard as I have to make "a few" ;)

Here it is... Let's start with a detailshot this time :)
The berries all have some Christmas Red Stickles.. hope you can see them a bit, the photo isn't that clear...sorry.

From the side...

And from the front...

Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: Webster's pages (I think); Stamps: Whiff of Joy (image) and October Afternoon (sentiment); Ribbon: Stampin'Up; Ink: Memento and Colorbox; Coloring medium: Copics; Flowers: Prima and WoC; Baubles: StampingBella

Hi there!

First of all let me thank you all for visiting my blog... wow... I feel really humble I can tell you! Just doing what I love: papercrafting.
Also a big thank you for all your nice comments. I really read them all... thank you, thank you, thank you!
About the B&W card I showed earlier this week, I used the My Mind's Eye patterned papers you can find overhere at My Mind's Eye.
Overthere you can really see I haven't photoshopped or something my photo :)

The big advantage of having vacation, is you can really use stamps that have never seen ink before *oops!!*
I really challenged myself to use stamps which have never seen ink, and one of these stamps is this one...It's from a fall-kit I bought last year.
I just sooooooooooo love the cute image and the wind with her skirt *wow!* It also challenged me to get the shadowing in a good way. Think I ma Itnaged it alright.

Anyways... here's the card:

A photo taken from upfront...

And as always a detailphoto:

Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: BasicGrey; Stamp: FunkyKits (Elisabeth Bell); Ribbon: Stampin'Up; Flowers: WoC; Ink: Memento; Coloring medium: Copics

Another Magnolia Tulip Tilda card

Hi there again :)

Remember this post?? Where I told you I made another thing with Tulip/Truike Tilda??
Well... here it is... It's really different. I really wanted to challenge myself to a black & white Tilda as I thought this image also could fit a "with sympathy"-card, so I started with the markers... but.... the image transformed in more blue-black than black/brown black that matches the patterned papers.

Ok, I read about this on the internet, but I kept coloring, so I now have a finished image :) Anyhow...

So I stamped another sweet image of Tulip/Truike Tilda and now I started to play with the other markers :)


OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tell ya!! They matched the papers I wanted to use perfectly! *Yahoo!!*

Here's the card I made:

Seriously!!! I didn't make my photo sepia or black-white... these really are the colors of the paper and image!! Cool eh??!!

And did you notice I used the same layout as this post?? It's totally different if you use other colors :)

A shot of the front of the card:

A detailphoto...

Again thank you for coming and sorry for the long post :)

Magnolia Tulip Tilda Card

Hi there!

Have been playing a lot these days with loads of stamps from different companies and it was so much fun to do! Unfortunately I can't show you everything right now as a lot of items are made for DT's I'm in, but.... I have been playing with the Magnolia Tulip/Truike Tilda :)
She is just so much fun and I tell ya... she can be very versatile, but you can see this within the next 48 hours when I will show you something else I made with her :) Just be patient (hmm.... like we crafters can wait long for new goodies etc *lol*).

Anyways... here's the first thing I made with Tulip Tilda:

And a detailshot:

Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: Cosmo Cricket; Stamps: Magnolia (image) and Sandylion (I think, Kelly Penacci); Lace: own stash; Punches: EK Success; Baubles: StampingBella; Ink: Memento; Coloring medium: Copics

Thank you for coming! :)

Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge Card

Whoowhoo!!
This is the first Wags 'n Whiskers challenge I will take part in as a DT member :)
Don't you just looooooooove their cute images?? I sure do!

This time I used the stamp "Summer Treat". This stamp is unmounted deep etched red rubber, so quality is guaranteed, I can tell ya!
I just love icecream and this is the perfect stamp, specially as it also includes a cat and I just looooooooove cats (and have 2 of my own).

Anyways... back to the challenge.
This time the theme is "Triple Play". So this means you need to use 3 of something.
I used:
1. 3 different patterned papers
2. 3 flower punches
3. 3 techniques: coloring (image), stitching (around all edges) and layering (flowers and papers).

So, here's the card I made:

Stamp: Wags'nWhiskers Summer treat; Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: BasicGrey; Punches: EK Success; Brad and center: own stash; Coloring medium: Copics

By the way... this stamp is ready to buy! *yahoo* Yes, you can also own this one :)

For US/Canada: Summer Treat

For UK/Europe/Rest of the world: Summer Treat

Thanks for coming and don't forget to visit the other DTmembers as well.

I would love to bring you a visit when you play with us at the Wags'nWhiskers blog :)

See you later!

Winner digi stamp card :)

A few weeks ago I won this very cute Angel digistamp of The Stamping Bazaar. Isn't he cool??!!
Ok, I hardly win anything, but that week I won several digistamps, like this one and I really love this Angel, in fact I love a lot of Angels :)

So...here's the card. Struggled a bit about the clothes, I found some red, blue and kraft ClubScrap cardstock and wanted to use it, but then I had to choose my patterned papers...
It was hard as I really had no idea what patterned papers to use, but when I was going through my 6x6 BasicGrey paperpads I just knew I had to use these papers. Perfect for a little boy, perfect for a baby card plus perfect for the already chosen cardstock :) And yes, I still need loads of babycards at the momemt..phhhhfffff.

Anyways...here's the card and oh... watch that hair! Cool... but needed a lot of practice. I got it from the Instyle Stamps blog where the lovely Angela made a tutorial how to color the hair like this. I printed it so I can always use it and don't have the computer to be on. Thanks sweetie!!!

Digistamp: The Stamping Bazaar (Angel); Cardstock: Bazzill and ClubScrap; Ribbon: Stampin'Up; Coloring medium: Copics; Stickles (wings): Ranger

Mojo challenge card

Made this card last evening for the Mojo Monday challenge blog.
Have cleaned my scraproom and can finally work on my desk with loads of empty space around me... it feels so great, so after a little scrapdip I can say I really love being creative again :)
Will try to post something new every day from now on ;)

Anyways... here's the card I made for the challenge.

1 stampset, 2 different cards

Ok, I just loooooooooove SU products.
When I was surfing the internet I came across a blog where a card was created with the same colors and items I created the following card with.
I really have no idea on what blog it was, but it just caught my eye and was perfect for those "with sympathy"-cards. Please, if you know which blog it was... tell me, so I can give credit to this person. Thanks! :)

After seeing that card, I also wanted this stampset, cardstock and ribbon.
Anyways... here's the card I made. Got 3 others ready, but positioned the ribbon and cardopenings different on each card.

But... I also made 4 other cards, based on this concept, only with bright colors. I just love how it worked! A totally different style!

Cardstock, ink, stamps, ribbon; Stampin'Up

Anyways... just love the way how colors make such a different.

Thanks for coming and looking :)
