This and that

As I promised, here's a bunch of cards I've made in the last couple of months.

Firstly a wedding card. 

Made to match couple's invitation with a pocket for a little gift :)

Next a pretty simple card for Father's Day.

The idea and basic templates came from DoCrafts Creativity magazine, the design slightly modified by me.

Here's a little gift I've made for my cousin birthday. Didn't want to send her just a simple card (she was sending me so many pretty things from Holland, I just couldn't :)). The idea and tutorial for a little notebook came from this blog http://starlitstudio.typepad.com/, I just modified it a bit to suit my project.

Here's how the inside looks like:

This was a card for my boyfriend's name's day. This croissant-things are something special eaten here for Saint Martin's Day. Wasn't able to buy him one (as the best I've ever eaten can be bought quite a long distance from where we live) so I decided to make him some. From paper and ink :)

And this is a card I'm quite proud of. 

It was my for my colleague's birthday. He's hobby is fishing and so I've made him a fishy card. Wanted to be special and funny and so I came up with an idea to give him a goldfish, so that he can make his three wishes.

The woody background was made thanks to the tutorial on StampTV. (http://stamptv.ning.com/)

Quite similar idea I've used on another two cards. Though this time I've cut the background into little pieces and arranged it so they look a bit like a wooden floor. The idea for that came from this video http://youtu.be/vbXiPTUSgZ0

 This set of card will be going to my other to colleagues that made an amazing job in making my apartment pretty. They've work really hard for month or two so I guess they need a little thank you from me.

And that's all for now.

Till next time

Cards for M&M

As soon as I've read this article http://simonsaysstampblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/cards-for-maddy-card-drive.html I knew I wanted to make something too. It doesn't cost me much and can make someone's day a bit brighter.

The idea for a card came to me instantly.

 Fun, colorful, shiny.

I've added clear glitter to the sun and something like perfect pearls to the background to make it shine and shimmer. Done a bit 3D paper piecing to make the card more interesting.

Other supplies I used:

- Paper Smooches free digital stamps (http://papersmooches.blogspot.com/p/free-digi-stamps.html) - LOVE them!

- Letraset Promarkers

- Glossy Accents by Ranger

- Doodlebug Beetle Black Medium Rub-ons

Maddy, Melanie - my warm thoughts are with you. Fight!

Welcome baby girl

This cute card was requested by my cousin. It finally gave me a chance to use baby stampset (by Viva decor) I've bought just because it was so adorable.

Clothes were colored with Promarkers and paper pieced to give them some dimension. Sky behind them is done by me with Ranger's Distress Ink. Light pink paper is from Marianne design Pretty Papers Bloc - Soft Pastels and the dark pinks are from DCWV The Mini Stack 3.

 The inside greeting was computer generated and uses one of amazing digistamps from http://melonheadzillustrating.blogspot.com/ <-check them out. There are tons of ever so cute freebies to use :)

The girl in the stamp is also colored with Promarkers and paper pieced

What do you think?

Shiny birthday card

Hi,

This is the card and alternated binder clip card/photo holder I've made for a friend of mine. She likes everything that shine so I decided she needed very feminine, delicate and shiny (of course) birthday card. 

The patterned papers I've used are from Pampered Pets collection.

Hope you like it.
Have a great weekend.
