Butterfly



I wanted to make a card for the sister of my collegue at work. Her sister is diagnosed with breastcancer and she will have surgery next week. I just wanted to send her a card to wish her lots of strength and letting her know that i will be thinking of her. The idea for the card i saw on the blog of Card Inspired by Maria. I used the Stampin Up The Tearing Edge ruler to make the doodling along the edges of the card.

Something Different



This time a completely different card. No colouring of stamps just working with the paper and embellishments itself. It was great to make and i will definately make some more cards like this in the future. The paper comes from the Simpelscrappen cardkit of august again and it is also featured on their blog

Simpelscrappen

For me it was really awwwwwwesome to see my cards there.

Twins Sarah & Kay



The original thought was to combine Sarah Kay with the girl on the bike from Elisabeth Bell. Make it look something like this, if the stamps are matchable sizes.



I haven't got the Elisabeth Bell one yet so then i thought i give stamping the same girl twice a go and make them identical twins LoL. The designpaper comes from the Simplescrappen Cardkit of august and is from Doodlebug. The space underneath the girls is left blank so when i want to send the card i can add the text there.

Sarah kay is back



Once a month i get the cardkit from simpel-scrappen. So everything i used is from that kit including sketch. Sarah kay is coloured with faber castell polychromos and also some touches with twinkling h2o's and a little bit of stickles glitter turqoise.

One tip i would like to share is that when you need or want to colour small areas, to do it with the pencil it self dipped in the odorless spirit.

Less is More



I combined an oldie with a newbie. The teddy bear is the oldie and the brick wall is the newbie both from Magnolia. What i had in mind was to make sort of a low budget card. Just to sort of show that you don't really need much to make a cute card.

Moments



Today my Shabby Chique Collection by Magnolia arrived. After waiting forever for them. It's really nice weather overhere so i don't spend inside the house much. I just had to try a few of my stamps out. So this is the card i made today. If you got any questions feel free to ask.

Farmyard



It's not finished yet i still have to turn it into a card but i am waiting for my new cardstock to arrive. I used the Stampin up wheel Farmyard and i added tilda and the fences to it. Lots of colouring which i did with my Faber Castell pencils and odorless spirit and i also used Twinkling H2O's.

Just a little experiment



I used the faces from peachy keen because this is what i sort of had in mind to make.
It looks like it is a large card but it is not. It's a bit ATC card like but then a tiny bit larger

I made this card for a dutch club challenge for the month may. I used my Stampin Up POCKET FUN and JUST JEANS mounted set. It was my very first item purchased on ebay.

Sarah Kay



I made this card today i used a sarah kay stamp. It ain't one of my best but it's alright. I tried to give it this vintage look.

Hanglar & Stanglar Card




I made this Hanglar & Stanglar card and coloured them first time round with Copic Markers. I thought hmmmmm i can do this easily colouring with markers but i found out that it ain't as easy as it looks. Specially the blending bit. I saw the sketch on the site from Cardart.

Card Made from The Simply Scrap Cardkit


I received the kit yesterday. In the kit was a sketch and from this scketch i made this card. I used a stamp from Hanglar & Stanglar and i coloured it in with my Faber Castell Polychromos and Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901 which are my absolute favorite colouring pencils. The only thing that's a pity is that in this line the maximum pencils in a set is 76.

Sure Cuts A Lot

This programm i found on the net and it enhances your cricut machine into being able to cut true fonts and more. I have been doubting wether to buy a cricut or a silhouette and i decided to go for the cricut expression (bought it in december last year) because it can cut 12 x 24 and some how i had this feeling that a programm like this would soon follow. Just take a look on their site.

Magnolia



Ok i have been fooling around with Magnolia again. I took the Magnolia stamp of Tilda riding a horse and i cut her out and placed her on a different horse also one from Magnolia. I coloured her mostly with my new colouring pencils from Caran d'Ache i just recently bought the Luminance 6901
