New Challenge at AAA Birthday!

 

Hi friends!

It's the first Monday of March and time for a new challenge at AAA Birthday Card Challenges! In the month of February our theme is patterned paper. 

Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and more DT inspiration! 

I made a pretty quick card using one of my favorite flower stamps from Waffle Flower Crafts as focal point. I heat embossed it with white powder on grey card and die cut it with co-ordinating dies. The patterned paper I used has a large pattern and I thought the contrast between the detailed flower and the bold background looked pretty fun! I used die cuts from Penny Black to "mount" the flower. I finished the card with paint splatters and sparkly sequins.

New Challenge at AAA Birthday!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the February challenge at AAA Birthday:

All the challenge details and lots of beautiful DT inspiration  HERE!

I decided to play with a die cut sentiment from STAMPlorations. Slimlines are great for having more space to create... so I had the possibility to both use this large sentiment and stamp a beautiful floral stamp by Waffe Flower twice! :) I colored the flowers with my Altenew markers and added detail with white gel pen and glitter pens. I've embellished the card with paint splatters and with some golden half-pearls. Hope you like and thanks for popping by! I look forward seeing your cards in our gallery!

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

We have a new Inspired by Words challenge for you at Time Out and this is the quote:

I was inspired by the words "she" and the concept of dreaming -the lovely lade in my Waffle Flower stamp certainly looks to be dreaming! Remember you can be inspired by the whole quote or just choose one word/some words for your inspiration. The winner of our challenge gets to guest design in a future challenge and wins a prize from our sponsor Newton's Nook -all challenge details in the challenge blog!  This time our GD is Bobby, one of our regular players and a super card maker!

In addition to the Waffle Flower stamps I used a Catherine Pooler background stamp in my card. Love the way these products combined! I stamped the background stamp with clear versafine ink for a monochrome look. The flower is colored with Copics and I simply decorated the card with a couple of sequins. Using this Waffle Flower stamp always makes me smile and makes me happy -I think I've never made a card I would not be happy with using this stamp!

I'm in the DT of AAA Birthday Challenge, Yay!

Hi friends!

This is my first post as a DT member of AAA Birthday Challenge, woot woot! This challenge is a monthly challenge with a varying theme for making birthday cards. In the month of January the theme is A Stencil Background.

Play along for a chance to be called to guest design for us in a future challenge! This time our GD is the very talented Melanie. All the challenge details of how to play along HERE. Lots of DT inspiration too!!

I used two stencils in my card. The background stencil I used for the tone on tone look on the pink card is by Marianne Design. Then, after heat embossing the Altenew flower, I used a matching Altenew stencil for adding white pigment ink to the flower for making it pop even more. I quite like how this turned out! The sentiment stamps are by Simon Says Stamp. Some paint splatters and sequins finish off this card! This is a large, about 5 x 7 card. 

Hope you like and thanks for popping by! Happy birthday card crafting! 

 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

 

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Inkspirational Challenge where we want you to be inspired by something in your home!

Above you'll see the card that I made... And below is the inspiration! I love this Vanilla Fly print that I've framed, it's one of my favorite hanged art pieces! I didn't have any bird stamps that I wanted to use but a SSS Beautiful Butterflies set from my pile of "new stamps" was calling my name! Love the sentiments in this set too and the butterflies are so pretty you could just stamp them black and white and call it a day!! I did add coloring with my Altenew markers this time to mimic the colors in my Vanilla Fly print. 

This will sadly be my last challenge as a DT member of Inkspirational. I've belonged to this group for more than 6 years (if I remember correctly!) and now it's time for me to move on. I'd like to thank our leader Marina and all the DT members for offering me such inspiring company over these many years! I will certainly miss being in this team and let's see what the future will bring!

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out Challenges where we have this fun monochrome photo to inspire you:

All the details about the challenge along with more DT inspiration in our challenge blog HERE! Play along and you could be joining us as guest designer. This time our GD is the talented Vicky and I just love the festive card she made for us!

In my card I've used a new SSS Poinsettia stamp (the sentiment is from the same big stamp, it pops out from the centre, love it!!) combined with a old PTI snowflake die, once a gift from our lovely Time Out boss Sandie and one of my favorite dies for Christmas ever! I went with the monochrome feel of the photo and tried to add also shine and sparkle from the heat embossing and rhinestones. Hope you like and thanks for popping by!

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Inkspirational where we have a very currant word prompt for you:

I've used cute mitten and hat stamps from W+9, Joy Crafts die cut snowflakes and a simple sentiment from Winnie and Walter (sadly no longer in business) in my card. I quite like the cheerful color scheme this card has! I used Copics for coloring the hats and mittens.
