Regelmatig zijn er op het youtube-kanaal van Veerle's Creatieve Hoekje inspirerende video's met een duidelijke uitleg om leuke kaarten te maken.  In m'n verlof had ik tijd om zelf aan de slag te gaan en dit is het resultaat.

- Pretty Papers Bloc Flower Power

kerststerren

Op het blog van Maria zag ik een superleuk idee voor kerstkaartjes.  Ik wilde het onmiddellijk zelf proberen met het scrapbookpapier dat ik had liggen.  Echt niet moeilijk om te maken en ik heb heel wat complimentjes gekregen toen ik ze op het werk uitdeelde.

Best Wishes for Christmas

Voor deze kaart heb ik dezelfde gesponsde achtergrond (Broken China, Stormy Sky en Chipped Sapphire). Daarna bestempeld met sneeuwvlokken van Hero Arts, een deel met distress inkt en een deel geëmbossed met wit poeder.  De andere stempels zijn van Art Journey (huisjes) en Marianne Design (tekst).

Kerst (5)

Op andere blogs, zie ik anderen dikwijls meerdere stempels combineren.  Het lijkt lukraak gekozen, maar het eindresultaat is wel heel mooi.  Ik heb vooraf graag een duidelijk idee, maar ik heb mezelf ook eens uitgedaagd om veel stempels te gebruiken.  Het zijn er uiteindelijk 6 geworden en ik ben tevreden over het eindresultaat.

Kerst (1)

Ik ga gewoon verder met de inhaalbeweging op m'n blog en ben ondertussen aanbeland met m'n kerstkaarten van vorig jaar.  Ik begin direct met eentje waar ik zelf heel tevreden over ben. Een pagina uit een boek werd bewerkt met gesso , daarna gewoon bestempeld met zwarte inkt en ingekleurd met copics.

Christmas Card (24)

Here's my christmas card for today.  I can't find where I got the inspiration for this card, but it's definitely a cardlift from someone.  I've used a stencil from Crealies to create the background, stamps from Marianne Design (snowman) and Hero Arts (sentiment and snowflake).  For the colouring I've used my copics and my 4th attempt was finally right! 

 

One week to go in this fantastic christmas card challenge!

 

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

 

Christmas Card (18)

I saw a beautiful baby card on Pinterest and changed it into a christmas card.  Perfect for some leftovers from my Basic Grey paper pad Figgy.

Christmas card (11)

I've had a creative off-day, but I didn't want to give up the challenge yet, so here is my christmas card for today!  I've used Dovecraft 'Christmas Fancy' papers, a Marianne Design sentiment stamp, the Cuttlebug embossing folder 'swiss dots' and some strass stars from Kruidvat.

Christmas card (8)

I found the idea for this card on Pinterest, but I turned the birthday card into a christmas card.

I have lots of patterned papers for christmas, so it would be a shame not to use them.  These are from Daisyd's and the sentiment stamp is from Marianne Design.

Christmas card (7)

I've gotten the inspiration for this card from Carola's blog.  I used stamps from Marianne Design (script), Hampton Art Stamps (little stips) and Hero Arts (sentiment). I'm sorry for the bad picture.

Marianne's Design Divas #23

Last month I was lucky to win Colette's blog candy. I found it in my mailbox on friday and immediately wanted to get started with it.  There was a fantastic paperpad from Melissa Frances: Kitschy Kitchen, which goes great with my newest stamps from Marianne Design.  I made this card to enter the 23rd challenge of the Marianne's Design Divas: lace and pearls.  

Birthday card

I started this card a while ago for a Sugar Bowl challenge, but didn't finish in time. It was just laying in my cupboard until last weekend when I finally glued it together and added the sentiment: it's YOUR birthday. I've used Basic Grey Wisteria papers (I think this is my favorite collection ever) and coloured the image with Copics. Her hair and the lovely dress make it a really nice image to colour and experiment with shadows. I'm actually very proud of this result!

Challenge on stamping group

Every two weeks there's a challenge on our stamping group. As I'm such a slow crafter, I sometimes start with a challenge, but then my ideas get blocked and most of the time I don't finish it in time. But I plan to do better this year!
The first challenge is to use something old and something new on your card, atc, etc. The background is the old part of my card. I made it a couple of months ago and it's lying in my box since then. The stamp I embossed in gold is my newest stamp :) It's not a new design, but I only bought it last week.
My supplies: the girl is from Paper Artsy (US-Yule Tide Plate 1), the new stamp is from Artemio-Magenta and on the background I used stamps from Marianne Design and Hero Arts.

Marianne Design challenge 41

http://mariannedesign.blogspot.com/2011/10/challenge-41-vintage.html



What a challenge: create a vintage christmas card! Not easy I thought, but after some searching around in my stuff I found these gorgeous (but still unused) Martha Steward punches. I think they look quite vintage, so I used these as the starting point. I also found some old looking patterned paper from Daisy D's and I've kept the rest quite simple.

Two bird cards

Last monday I was hopping around some blogs and I suddenly wanted to ink my non-cute stamps. I immediately had several ideas, but it took me some time to get from a rough idea to a finished card. These are the first ones. I had the backgrounds in my stash and they were perfect to combine with this lovely stamp (which was still uninked).
My supplies:
Distress inks: Bundled Sage and Scatterd Straw
Stamps: Judi Kins 'Whispy Bamboo'
Marianne Design Eline's Vintage
De Stempelwinkel 'Hummingbird on flower'
