An any occasion card

 

Today I am showing you a card that I made after getting the inspiration on the Papertrey Ink blog but I forgot who's the cardmaker was that I got the inspiration from. She used different colors.

I die cut a blue panel out of the Border Bling Lattice die from Papertrey Ink. The border frame is from Pink Fresh Studio. The geranium flowers are from the Into The Blooms Geraniums die of Papertrey Ink. I inked the petals with blue ink and the leaves I cut out of green cardstock that I inked with darker green on the edges. The scalloped oval panel is also from Papertrey Ink. The sentiment I made myself and translated to English it would say "Warm Heartfelt Greetings To You.

I will be entering this in the following challenges:

Little Red Wagon #801 - Blue
Kreativtangten #100 - Spring
Moving Along With The Times #177 - Spring Flowers

Color Hues Guest Designer Card

 

I created this card as a guest designer for the Color Hues challenge. As you can see I am a card maker and definately not a good photographer as the color seems like blue on the photo but it is actually teal if you see the card for real.

I took a background image from the internet and cut that with the Simply Diamonds Die from Pink Fresh Studio to get those neat squares. I layered the pieces on a piece of foam tape to give them that dimension on a panel that I embossed with a rose pattern. I don't know the designer for that embossing folder. I die cut the tiny flowers from a die of Marianne Design. And I homemade a sentiment that says Get Well Soon if you translate it to English.

 

Hope you all play along with the challenge.

Two baby cards

 

Today I am showing you 2 baby cards I made. When I am making a baby card for no one in particular I always make a boy and a girl version. I can't help myself. 

I made a fun fold card. It is kind of like a stepper card as you can see from the side. It give more dimension to a card then if I would have place the fence and the grass directly onto the poles of the clothing lines. The background and the patterns I used for the baby clothes are digital downloads from Nitwit Collections. The white fence is from Marianne Design. I made the poles to hang the clothes lines on myself by using a strip die. I rounded the top of the pole with a corner punch. I glued about 3 to 4 layers onto each other to give it the dimension to look like a pole. I think it worked great. The dies for the baby clothes are from My Favorite Things.

The sentiment is homemade by myself. On the back of the card there is plenty of room to write your own personal message

I will enter this in the following challenges:

A Gnome Flower Cart Birthday Card

 

This is my card for today. I made it into a birthday card. Spring just started and flowers are everywhere already. Just another excuse to bring out the gnomies again.

I made this gnome from several different sets of Globeland. I die cut a bunch of little strawberries and added them to his hat. He is holding a pot of roses. The flowercard and flowerpots are from Honey Bee Stamps. I printed the blue layer. I love how you can just get any color from your own printer. The sentiment I made myself. An overall cute birthday card in a spring/summer theme.

I will enter this card in the challenges below:
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Inspire Create #189 - Spring/Easter

Thank you card

Today I am showing you a card looks simple and was really lovely to make.

I used a Waffle Flower stencil on 2 panels. I then cut the top on a bit smaller then the one underneath and this creates that lovely dimension. I also use a Waffle Flower cover plate to get that stitched pattern. As I liked the stenciled background I didn't want to cover it too much so I just used to sentiments of Carlijn Design that I die cut in black and for the shadow I just used white. For the finishing touch a few pearls here and there. If translated to English the sentiments say Super Thanks.

I will be entering this in the following challenges:
Stencil Fun - Optional Theme
Inkspirational #338 - Use 2 or more senitments
Just Us Girls #768 - Anything Goes Stencil Week
