Spesch Stamps New releases

Hi there!

First of all, let me thank you all for all your sweet comments the last couple of days. It was great to read them! THANK YOU!!!

Today the previews start of the newest Spesch Stamps *whoowhoo!!*
We have 2 images to show you today, 2 tomorrow and 2 the day after tomorrow and another 2 the day after that :)
I will show you "Puppy" today. It's such a sweet image to use. I made it a totally "girly" card as there might be some girl/woman out there who loves dogs.

So here you have my card. The papers are a bit glossy, but doesn't show on the photo unfortunately.

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 next preview!

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 :)

Scrapdelight Summer festival

Hi there!

Doing this blogpost in Dutch... sorry :)

Hi!
Zoals jullie wellicht wel weten, mocht ik in juli guestmember zijn bij Scrapdelight *whoowhoo!!*. Op dit moment loopt er een geweldige zomerwedstrijd met geweldige prijzen!
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!
Je kunt bij deze blogpost meer info vinden: Scrapdelight Summer Festival

Bedankt voor het langskomen en graag tot een volgende keer! :)

PTI July bloghop

Hi there!

There's a bloghop over at Nichole's blog and I just couldn't resist to participate.

I just loooooooooooooved the inspirational photo and well... uhhmm... it defenately made my creativity flow.
When I saw the photo, I thought about: home (well...the photo totally does this justice), warmth (all the cushions and plaids), cozy (all those cushions and plaids), friendly (the colors)... and those words remind me of Christmas, so what I did was making a Christmascard for this bloghop :)
Totally thinking out of the box, but well... hopefully it's good ;)

I made the card with one of the challenges from the Stamp-A-Faire I did as well: challenge 8. You can find my card at this post.

Anyways... back to the card I made for the bloghop, here it is:

And a detailphoto of the stitching along the border of the card:

PTI items used: Stamps ("stocking prints") and coordinating dies for the stockings



Thank you so much for coming over! Now it's time to go to Nichole's blog for more inspiration! :)

See you later!

PTI Stamp-A-Faire Challenge 8

Ok, the last one before heading to bed :)

I had so much fun making the cards this evening/this night! Thanks so much PTI!!

Made this a Christmas one and wow... I totally love this one and will defenately be making cards like this one a lot to send to family, friends etc. for Christmas. It's one you can make within 10 minutes *seriously here!!*
As a base I used the red cardstock, trimmed 1" from the front, added some green cardstock behind, stitched some, stamped the images, cut them out, adhered them, stamped the sentiment, voila... *een kind kan de was doen* ;)

So here you have Challenge 8:
I thought I would challenge you to create a card with an front cover that is cut back by an inch or so.

PTI item: sentiment stamp ("Signature Christmas")

Thank you so much for coming over!!
Please take a look at the other cards I made for the Stamp-A-Faire, by clicking here for challenges 1, 2 and 3 and click here for challenges 5, 6, 7 and 9.

See you later! :)

PTI Stamp-A-Faire Challenges 5, 6, 7 and 9

Hi there (again *lol*)!

Please scroll down for the other cards I made for the PTI challenges tonight/this early morning!

Here we have the cards I came up with for challenges 5, 6, 7 and 9. As you noticed, I didn't so challenge 4. It was a color one and I really need to make this by daylight, not in the middle of the night ;)

Anyways... here we go...


Challenge 5:
create your own custom "faux" border.

PTI items: sentiment stamp ("Signature Greetings"), image stamps (faux border done with "Cupcake collection", "Grunge Me")

I combined the following card with the following challenges:

Challenge 6:
Your challenge this afternoon is to use the little notch technique to hold twine or ribbon in place across the cover of your project.
Challenge 9:
Your challenge is to look at your stamps in a new way, turn them, rotate them at new angles and see if YOU can come up with anything unique!

PTI item: Image stamp ("Grunge Me"-set). I think that swirl looks like a snail :)

 

Challenge 7:
Your challenge is to have a "play date" with your stamps and discover 2 or 3 images from different sets that layer together in a surprising way.

This actually is the birthdaycard I made for my brother who will celebrate it today.

PTI items: Stamps (sentiment from "Enjoy the ride", car and sentiment on it by "Enjoy the ride" and the stars on the car are from "Cupcake Collection")

Thanks again for coming over! :)

PTI Stamp-A-Faire Challenges 1, 2 and 3

Over at Nichole Heady's blog it's PTI Stamp-A-Faire time and wow... they came up with some awesome challenges.
And I defenately say challenges as I don't own that many PTI sets, but I have to say I really like to challenge myself using them in different ways :)

It's over 2.00 am right now, but writing this (and the other blogposts) so I can go to bed with a good feeling :)

Anyways... here are challenge 1, 2 and 3.


Challenge 1:
Create a project featuring patterned strips that are created with some of your favorite decorative elements.
I just looooooooove patterned papers, so I used them and I also like stripes and dots a lot, so it was an easy one :)

PTI items: sentiment stamp (Up, Up & Away)

Challenge 2:
We would love to see YOUR take on pairing up a hot pink, like Raspberry Fizz, with a charcoal grey (like Smokey Shadow)

PTI items: stamps (sentiment from "Signature Greetings" and image "Grunge Me")

Challenge 3:
Punch a window from you card cover and tie ribbon or twine from the window to the side of your card.

PTI Item: Beautiful Blooms II #1 die

Thank you very much for coming over! See you later! :)
