Spring Is In The Air

 

Today I am showing you a stair step card. I made it into a spring theme. I will save this in my stash as I had no one in particular in mind to give this too.

I used a lot of Marianne Design dies. 
- COL1505 Eline's Bees
- COL1680 Bees by Marleen
- COL1463 Eline's Baby Bunny
- COL1423 White Picked Fence
- COL1561 Beehive by Marleen
- CR1539 Punch Die Lucky
- COL1543 Sun & Clouds by Marleen
- CR1594 Punch Die Alphabet

I also used a grass border and a wooden sign but don't remember the brand for these at this time.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

A Floral Card

 

So today I am showing you a postage collage card. I love everything about it.

I used Marianne Design CR1658 Layout - Stamps Slimline. I masked off all the edges and then used the Winter Rose stencil by Gina K Designs. For the ink I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks. The large sentiment die is from Alexandra Renke. I used gold metallic cardstock for the gold letters.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:

Guest Designer Card

Today I can show my card that I made being a guest designer over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown March Sketch Challenge. 

Ofcourse I followed the sketch. I embossed the green panel with a Christmas embossing folder. I added to banners using a large banner punch by Vaessen Creative. I used an image from Creative Fabrica that I printed and made a crochet border around the image with some white crochet yarn. I made the sentiment that I printed onto black cardstock with my laserprinter and then foiled it with gold foil into my laminator. I also added a stitched edge on the green panel. I used gold metallic thread. That bit took the longest to complete on the card.

So play along this month and let's see your wonderful creations

Poinsettia Card

 

I made this card fot the Girlz Creative Christmas Challenge #113. They want to see poinsettia's on your card.

I used all dies that I got at a second hand market so don't know the brands. I also used a big punch for the pine branch of EK Success. I added a few gold tiny beads in the center of the flower. The papers are from a digital collection of Nitwit that I printed out a long time ago so don't know the name of the specific collection anymore. The sentiment was printed and foiled by me.

A CAS Birthday Card

 

At the AAA Cards Challenge #284 they are having a sketch challenge. I just had to try this one so I will be entering my card in this challenge.

I made another card with the Spellbinders Ganache Gateau which I will show later at some point. This die also has some dies included that can make these cute little macarons and I thought these are perfect to use for the sketch. I used pink tones and white for the cream.  I then stamped a small sentiment. Very quick and easy to make if you want a quick card.
