Mother's day card

Tuesday, March 24, 2015

Hi,

I love Liz Armstrong's cardmaking style. Her digital design boutique has great stamp images, sentiments and papers.
I purchased "floralie", a set of lovely patterned paper designs.
Liz style inspired me to make my next card. A mother's day card with a spring feel.

I printed one of the designs on vellum and placed the vellum on white cardstock.
The Mother's day tag is a free download from I heart naptime .
The butterfly is a die cut I had for many years.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

bunny zoes crafts: spring colours
not real stamps: mother's day
come and get it challenges: winging it
lil patch of crafty friends: anything goes

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!

Hugs Henriëtte.

Tuesday, March 17, 2015

Hi,

This weeks challenges at Outlawz Saturday is: Paper pieced Background.
I don't recall making such a card before so I search the internet for some examples.
Pink paislee had a great design and tutorial.

Here is my card.

The paper (and sentiment) are from Echo park "Sunny days Ahead".
I adore this paper pad with the cute chicklets and carrot paper.
I don't know were I got the little birdie from, sorry about that (it was a free download).

Have a nice day. Until next time.

Shaker card for a baby boy

Hello..... welcome to my blog today,

I made a shaker card to enter a Dutch challenge called hobby journaal. The theme is BABY.

example card hobby journaal

I used a digital stamp from Eline Pellinkhof. I just printed it on kraft paper.

The alpha's are die cuts from Marianne Designs and I made the little tag myself using an eyelet.

Added a charm. The background paper is from Echo park "Sunny days ahead".

The little balls in the shaking part are styrofoam balls. They look very cute but they are also very static.

Blue, white and kraft is one of my favorite color combinations.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

hobbyjournaal

lil patch of crafty friends

alphabet challenge: B = for babies

Kitty bee designs: baby

lil red wagon: cute-cute-cute

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day.

Spring (well almost)

Hi everyone,

Spring is just around the corner! You can smell it in the air here in the Netherlands.
We have a nice sunny weekend with temperatures around 15 degrees C.
