Wags 'n Whiskers new release :)

Oh yeah!
Today and tomorrow it's release day at the Wags 'n Whiskers blog and do we have some great new stamps for you! Seriously, I just totally love these kind of stamps (uhhhmmm... Actually I like a lot of stamps ;))
These sweet fairies are so great to color.

This Friday there will be a BIG blog hop over at the W'nWblog, but right now there's also a chance to win the new releases. Please check out this post for more information or go directly to the W'nW blog.

Anyways... here's the card I made with Hannah. Doesn't she look cute??!!
When I first saw her, I immediately thought about Spring with all the rich colors like orange and pink etc.
I'm sure I will use her for some Christmascards as well, as she can be used for so many occasions.
You are able to buy her after this Friday, August 20th, so keep checking my blog and the W'nW blog as well ;)

And a detail where you can see the sparkle on her wings a bit better...

Another card

Here's another card I made with one of Elisabeth Bell's fab digistamps.
I also can't get enough of these papers, they are soooooooo cute and I will probably buy another stack if this one is left out of paper ;)

Made this card for the Elisabeth Bell DT and guess what... although I will not be in the permanent design team, I will be a guest designer for September and October *whoowhoo!!*
Can't wait!!

Anyways... here's my card:

A photo taken from the front...

A Teddybear Picknick :)

Sun is shining, sky is blue, the weather is quite nice.... let's go on a Teddybear Picknick!
Oh yeah, it's another Friday for the Teddy Stampers Challenge and this time it's the Teddybear Picknick.

This time you're challenged to be inspired by this song. It was just great and immediately knew what I wanted to make and what stamp to use. Unfortunately the image was stamped, half coloured for 1,5 week before finishing it :)

Anyways... here are the lyrics for the song... Feel inspired :)

If you go out in the woods today

You're sure of a big surprise.

If you go out in the woods today

You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was

Will gather there for certain, because

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for teddy bears,

The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today.

Watch them, catch them unawares,

And see them picnic on their holiday.

See them gaily dance about.

They love to play and shout.

And never have any cares.

At six o'clock their mommies and daddies

Will take them home to bed

Because they're tired little teddy bears.

If you go out in the woods today,

You'd better not go alone.

It's lovely out in the woods today,

But safer to stay at home.

For every bear that ever there was

Will gather there for certain, because

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Every teddy bear, that's been good

Is sure of a treat today

There's lots of wonderful things to eat

And wonderful games to play

Beneath the trees, where nobody sees

They'll hide and seek as long as they please

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

 
 
Here's the project I made:
 

As you can see I made a card and a bag with brownies *yummie*

I was inspired by the fact that you always have something nice to eat at a picknick, specially homemade stuff, and I just love homebaked brownies :)

I just felt this stamp was perfect for this project, as I made homebaked brownies and the girl is making it with a little help of her little friend teddybear.

Here's a detail of the stamped image:

Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: October Afternoon; Stamps: Stampavie (image) and Elzybells (sentiments); Flowers: Prima and WoC; Sparkle: Prima; Bauble: StampingBella; Flower punches: EK Success; Cellophane bag: Stampin'Up; Ink; Memento; Coloring medium: Copics

Magnolia Indian Tilda

When I saw Indian Tilda in the Magnolia Ink mag I just knew I had to have this sweetie! Hmm... think I have this with almost every Magnolia ;)

It was hard to get, but finally I received this one yesterday in the mail and I am so very, very, very happy as I bought this paper in June just for this stamp *lol* Love the orange and blue/green colors. I'm not quite a fan of orange, but in combination with the other colors, dots and stripes I just love it!

Anyways... here's the card:

And a photo taken from the front...

And a detail of the glitter and rhinestones...

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...

Just a card :)

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...

Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers: MME; Image: Magnolia; Ribbon: Stampin'Up; Baubles: StampingBella; Ink: Memento; Coloring medium: Copics; Pen: ZIG

Thank you so much for coming, really appreciate it :)

Oh... before I forget... here you can see the difference between the colors used.....

really different eh??

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
