Best Witches

Hi everyone and happy Thursday :)


Today I want to share another Halloween card with you.
I used some Divine Twine Baker's Twine to create a 'frame' around my little Halloween scenery ... and I could not resist and had to do a bit of faux stitching, also *lol*
 The 'eyes' of the skeleton are two tiny clear rhinestones (see close up)

card recipe:

• stamps - Cosmo Cricket
• patterned paper - from a digital kit that I can't remember at the moment *argh* (will go and take a closer look at the downloads I made recently and will write the kit's name down as soon as I know it!!!)
• other supplies - Bazzill kraft cardstock, Coredinations black cardstock, Divine Twine Baker's Twine, Sakura white gel pen, Prima Marketing clear rhinestones, paper piecing tool and foam tape from stash

challenges:

• Art Impressions Stamps (Halloween)
• Crafty Ribbons #3 (Halloween)
• Moving Along With the Times (Spooky Halloween Cards)
• Stampin' B's #130 (Halloween Card)

{DT} - You Are Unique

Hi everyone and happy Monday :)
I hope you all had a great weekend!

Here's another card using one of the new released Kenny K images available at Whimsy Stamps.
He's called 'Teen Idol' and I tried to create a colorful, yet 'masculine' card, because it was intended for a young man (who will turn 18, soon ;) ) and I really hope he'll like it (don't you think it's super difficult to make cards for men.. especially for your own sons? *lol*)

The sewing on this card is anything but exact (*haha*.. what an understatement ;-) ) 
Hopefully he won't mind (but to be honest, I think he actually will not even notice it *lol*... am I a bad mom to say this? ;-))))))) ) 

I also used one of the new ticket sentiments from Raindrop Echo Designs called 'The Fun Life Tickets'. I think they go perfectly together with the Kenny K images :)


For the background I used some papers from the 'Summertime Fun - On Travel' digital kit by Jady Day Studio

card recipe:

• stamps - Whimsy Stamps: 'Teen Idol' by Kenny K +  'The Fun Life Tickets' by Raindrop Echo Design
• coloring mediums - Tombow Dual Brush pens, Mondeluz watercolor pencils
• patterned papers -  'Summertime Fun - On Travel' by Jady Day Studio
• tools - mini sewing machine
• other supplies - blue cardstock from stash, Kaisercraft blue rhinestones, foam tape from stash

challenges:

• Addicted to Stamps #13 (stitching)
• Lollipop Crafts #50 (anything goes)
• My Sheri Crafts #69 (sew simple)
• Our Craft Lounge #84 (patterned papers)
• Paper Sundaes #88 (anything goes)
• Phindy's Place #73 (opposites on the color wheel)
• Sentimental Sundays #74 (stop out of your comfort zone) oh yes, this is wayyyy out of my comfort zone .. as I told you above ... a card for one of my boys *oh my* ;-)
• Stamps and Fun = Creativity #66 (anything goes)
• The Outlawz Monday Greeting Card (anything goes)

Hi everyone and happy Monday :)
I hope you enjoyed the weekend and had a great start into the new week.
Well.. today is my first day at work again, after having two weeks off... *mmmm* 

As I told you some days ago, I love all things Halloween and I purchased some Halloween goodies recently, so I had to create another Halloween card ;-)

I think you cannot see it very well in the picture, so I took a close up of the star on the upper left side: I put some Diamond Glaze onto the cardstock die cut star and it's such a neat effect.. looks like an epoxy sticker... nice and shiny :-) Hope you can see it in this picture (or even imagine it ;-) )

card recipe:

• stamps - Inque Boutique ('Happy')
• patterned papers - My Mind's Eye 'Mischievous' collection
• cardstock die cuts  - My Mind's Eye 'Spooked' collection
• tools - Making Memories mini stapler
• other supplies - American Crafts cardstock, My Mind's Eye 'Mischievous' collection brad, Divine Baker's Twine, Diamond Glaze, Making Memories mini staples orange, Kaisercraft rhinestones in black and orange, dimensional adhesive from stash

challenges:

• Catch The Bug (punches or dies)
• CES (magical or spooky)
• Cuddly Buddly (add a tag)
• Floweret (Tricky or Halloween)
• Pals Paper Arts (Halloween)
• Paper Cutz #108 (pumpkin patch)

Thank so much for stopping by and taking the time to view my card and maybe you'll be so kind and leave me a comment before you go.. every comment brightens my day... thank you :-)

Lily of the Valley

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!
I hope you enjoy the weekend with sunshine, laughter and maybe a little bit of creativity, too :)

Today I want to share a card with you, where I used a LOTV image for the very first time!
Got some LOTV stamped images as a RAK from a stamping friend around one year ago and never had the time to do something with them - even though I really adore these cuties - such a shame!

But FINALLY I did it *lol*

So here is my card for this weeks LOTV challenge

The sentiment was created using Silhouette Studio, fonts (Dagobert for 'M' and 'You' and I think it was Arial or something simple like that for the 'iss') and then cut it out with the Silhouette SD machine

card recipe:

• stamps - Lily of the Valley
• coloring medium - Tombow Dual Brus pens, Mondeluz watercolor pencils
• patterned papers - Basic Grey 'Pheobe' 6x6 paper pad
• fonts - Dagobert and Arial(?)
• tools - Silhouette SD machine
• other supplies - Sew Sweet Elderberry crinkled seam binding, Sakura white gel pen, Ranger Stickles in Stardust, Hero Arts purple rhinestones

challenges:

• Clearly Inspired #35 (patterned paper)
• Cooking It Up With Katie (purple, bow, sentiment)
• Crafty Ann's #49 (make yourself uncomfortable) - the purple is definitely WAY out of my comfort zone! 
• Crafty Catz #99 (ribbon)
• Creative Card Crew (anything goes)
• Delightful Challenge (bling it)
• Fun With Shapes and More #91 (anything goes)
• Lili of the Valley #111 (missing you)
