Cards and Scrap Challenge 230

Last week I saw some sunburst cards on Pinterest and saved them because I want to try this technique once. But I've saved so many techniques and I don't know when I'll really make these cards.  Today I saw on the Cards and Scrap blog that the current challenge was also starburst and sunburst card.  I think this was a special sign to effectively make a sunburst card.  I used papers from my Basic Grey paper pads and a LOTV stamp.

Christmas card (6)

For my 6th christmascard I've gotten my Copics from under the dust.  I've choosen one of my favorite stamps: LOTV Balancing Act.  I love colouring this image, probably because it's not so difficult :)

 

Also take a look at the beautiful cards of the other ladies who took this challenge: Klaartje, Anne, Anita and Carla.

 

Birthday card for Lauren!

October is a very busy birthday month in our family, so this will not be the last card I'll show you.  This one is for the daughter of my other niece, Lauren who's celebrating her second birthday this month.  I used the same stamp as I really fell in love with 'Birthday Fairy' from LOTV.  I also used the same paperpad as it was still on my desk.  The sketch came from the Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog, but I turned the square sketch #83 into a rectangle card. I didn't add embellishments, only a text stamp from Aud's Design.

Birthday card for Stien!

The little daughter of my niece is celebrating her first birthday next week, so this deserves a beautiful birthday card of course.  I've used a LOTV stamp: Birthday fairy. It's a stamp from an older collection, but I only recently bought it second hand and I'm really happy with it. I loved colouring it with my copics.  The sketch is from the current challenge on the Sketch and Stash Challenge blog. I've followed the sketch but changed the square shape into a rectangle and I also left the embellishements behind.  The patterned papers (which have some glitter, but it's not visible on the photo) are from First Edition 'Hideaway'. 

Stamp and Create December Challenge (till 06/01/2013)

Another christmascard I've made this week.  I want to enter this one for the December challenge on Stamp and Create blog: Sparkly Christmas. To create the sparkling element, I've added white stickles on the christmas hat and rhinestones to the snowflakes.
(supplies: Dovecraft Christmas Fancy papers, Lily of the Valley stamp Teddy Balancing Act (both were blog candy from Lisa), Marianne Design Vintage Kerst, Basic Grey rhinestones, Provocraft die Snowflake #2)

Lili's Little Fairies: Pastel Colours (till 05/12/2012)

I'm back with my second christmas card of today.  I didn't put the patterned papers I used on the previous card to far away as they are perfect for the challenge at Lili's Little Fairies:  pastel colours  (http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.be/2012/11/pastel-colours.html).

The sentiment is a stamp from Forever Friends 'Christmas sparkle 1'. The image is LOTV Christmas Teddy Balancing Act, which was also a part of Lisa's candy ( http://wishcraftcards.blogspot.be/) together with the Dovecraft Christmas Fancy papers.  Again I've used copics to colour this gorgeous teddy. The snowflakes are from a Provocraft die (Snowflake #2). I finished with Stickles and Basic Grey rhinestones to add  some glitter to the card.

I'm back: LOTV challenge

After a break of several months, I finaly created again! I've chosen the sketch from LOTV challenge to get started. As you may know I love sketches (both for cardmaking as scrapbooking). I'm happy with the result, and I think I'll start on another christmas card soon as time's getting shorter to get them all finished.

LOTV challenge 102

It was quite hot this afternoon, but I thought it was the perfect weather to create my first christmas card this year :)

I've used this great LOTV stamp (Lisa's candy) and Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper pad ( Lisa's candy). It was a while ago since I've used my cuttlebug, so I'm happy I've finally dusted it of. I used it with Spellbinders Labels four and Marianne design Creatables. The sentiment stamp is from a Hero Arts set ( Kat's candy). After I finished it I realised I forget the ribbon from the sketch, but I think the result is ok.

This week our challenge is a Theme – A Few of My Favourite Things - we would like to see creations using craft items and stamps you couldn’t do with out.

My favorites I used on this card are:
- Copic markers: I received some new colours for my birthday this week and now have 140 ciao's!
- Basic Grey patterned papers: I don't want to count my BG papers, I think I have almost every collection!
- Distress ink: I love distressing, but usualy don't know when to stop so it's maybe a bit to much distressed!
- LOTV stamp: of course!
