Daffodils Easter Card

Hello everyone.  I made this Easter card using a card from a Hobby Shop in Holland.  Although this was to be an A2 size card, I used and extra piece of cardstock for the back and adhered it to an A7 card.

After using the card kit elements to make the card, I die cut the Daffodils and Easter eggs, coloured everything using Copic Markers, and adhered them to the card.

On the inside, I used a die that I got from a crafty friend.  I don't really know the brand as this and a few other dies I got were all in a basket and not labelled.

Supplies used to make this card:

Card Kit from Hobby Shop using Marianne Design dies

Cottage Cutz - Spring Daffodils & Eggs

Crafty Gift - Easter Egg die

I still have a few more Easter cards to share with you, so I'll be back soon.

Crafty hugs,

My hubby's birthday is the day after Father's Day, so you can imagine that I need a few masculine cards this month.  Why a few, you ask? Well, because I get orders from family members for cards for him 😀

So with that in mind, and the fact that he is Dutch, this is the card I came up with, using Dr Digi's Oktoberfest Otto.  I think he's going to like it, at least I'm hoping that he's going to like it!

Classy & Fabulous!

Hello crafting friends and welcome back to another fun challenge starting today at Crafty Gals Corner! 

Challenge # 194 ~ Polka Dots and/or Stripes

Our wonderful sponsors for this challenge are:

OddBall Art

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

Kitty Bee Designs

Prize ~ 1 digital image (non colored)

Scribbles Designs

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate (Images Only) 

For my projects today, and yes I have two 😄, I used the fabulous saying by Coco Chanel, from Scribbles Designs. Take a look ...

Isn't she just Classy and Fabulous?

This is an image from The Little Square Book of Festive Deco Shimmer by Hunkydory.

Love this little book.  It has gorgeous Art Deco Christmas images, each more Fabulous than the next.  If you look closely, there are tiny white polka dots on the feathers on her head piece. But just in case it wasn't enough, I used a Swiss dot folder on some red shimmer paper and then lightly sanded to show up the white core from within. I used some gold beading strips to add an element of Class :-)

On the inside, I carried the theme through by using the same papers and using a gold filigree frame from the same gold beading strip.  The stamp is from Christmas Sayings by Creative Expressions.

For this card, I used a red, white and black colour combo, which is one of my favourites. The polka dot dress was cut using an unbranded die that I received for Christmas from a bloggie friend (thank you).  The paper itself was from my scraps drawer.  I used the same Swiss Dot embossing folder to bring more polka dots into the project.

On the inside, I used the same card stocks, from GinaK. and used half of the Cake Party birthday stamp from Crafter's Companion.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you liked my card and feel inspired
 to get crafty and come play along with us.  You have till 12:00 pm CST

on 2 July  2019, to link your card to our challenge.

Have an Apple

I don't know about you, but after watching Snowwhite a gazillion times, I would not take an apple from a witch! :-) Yes, a gazillion times is being very generous, it was one of my daughter's favourite Disney movies when she was little and trust me when I tell you that I could sing every song backwards! 

Challenge # 144 ~ Make it Spooktacular!

Our wonderful sponsors this week are:

Cute as a Button 

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Star Stampz

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Sasayaki Glitter

Prize: 1 Digital Imag

Today's card was made with an image from Cute as Button, called "Have an Apple Witch". Since our challenge is to make it Spooktacular, I thought it would be fitting to give her a whole house and graveyard wherein she can make all her concoctions.

 I used a Silhouette file, design #95060, for the card.

As you can see I cut out another two cats from the image to add to the graveyard.

Cardstocks used are all from Bazzill.

I used copic markers to colour the images.

I also added a few little ghosts for a little extra sooky fun.

I'm so glad you stopped by today. Now it's your turn to make a Spook-tacular project and link it to our challenge #144 for your chance to win one our wonderful sponsored prizes. You have till noon, CST, on Tuesday, 17 October 2017, to link your project to the Crafty Gals Corner blog.  And while you there, take a look at what my DT teamies made for your inspiration this week.

Fairy Dragon Staredown

Hello and welcome to this week's challenge at Crafty Gals Corner, hosted by the Crafty Belles. 

Challenge #137 ~ Use Punches and/or Dies

Our wonderful sponsor this week is:

Faery Ink

Prize: 3 Digital Images

To make my card, this week, I used Faery Ink's  Fairy Dragon Staredown image.

I printed it on X-press It cardstock and coloured it using copic markers.

I used Anja's Circle card maker die from Marianne Designs on the front of my card.

I sponged it lightly with Memento Angel Pink ink to give it some definition.

Then to finish it off, I added some sweet mini roses that I got from Michaels.

The foliage I used for my roses is from an unbranded die.

On the inside of the card, I used the Love Triangles embossing folder, by Teresa Collins,  to create a background panel to put my sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by today. Now it's your turn to create a project using punches and/or dies and play along with us. You have till noon, CST, on Tuesday, 22 August 2017, to link your project to the Crafty Gals Corner blog. And while you there, take a quick look at what my DT sisters made for your inspiration this week.

Till next time, happy crafting!
