Bicycle

This card was made as a gift for my colleague who decided to continue his career outside our factory.

Bikes are his true passion. Always were. Now he has a bike shop or something like that.

I hope his new business will be a success. Though he will be missed here....

The main image for the card is a bicycle coloring page I've found online. 

Take care,

Keep on shining!

The card below is made for one brave girl - Maddy. You can check her story on Simon Says Stamp blog.

This is the second card drive for her and I was participating in the previous one too.

I've made this card using my brand new stamp from Agateria. Isn't the girl adorable?

Patterned papers come form Dovecraft Tea House 6x6 paper pad.

And the layout for this one is a sketch no 72 from Deconstructing Jen.

Now, beside just making and sending a card I wanted to add something special. I've came up with the idea to gather as much signatures as I can from people from my work. And guess what....? I needed to add another A4 piece of paper so many of my colleagues wanted to sign. They were all touched by Maddy's story.

I've sent the card today. Hope it reaches you soon, sweet Maddy. KEEP ON SHINING!

Hospital can bring something good too

Some time ago I've spent several days at the hospital.
It was my first time. To tell the truth I was scared as hell and almost cried when I've found out I had to stay not for one or two days but for six.

Fortunately I've met there someone who made this whole hospital stay quite pleasant.
In the same room as me was this remarkable girl. Chatty, happy, optimistic. Don't think I've ever met anyone like her.
Always smiling. Always finding words to cheer others up.

She had to stay at the hospital longer than I did. And she's getting back there tomorrow.

This time I wanted to cheer her up. I've made this cute card especially for her.

I've chose to go with colors and patterns as colorful, bright and cheerful as she is. These came from Simple Stories Fabulous 6x6 paper pad.

For the main image I've used a small Me too you stamp ('cos I know she loves these grey teddies).

The 'get well soon' sentiment was stamped with Prima Marketing Sunrise Sunset stamp set.

I really hope she'll like this and she will recover very soon.

Mother's day

This is the card that is going to be a gift for my Mom on Mother's Day (26th May here).
Right when I've noticed this stamp from Agateria I knew it has to be a focal image of my card for Mom. It kind of reminds me of me and my kitty.

The rest of the card is made with three colors of washi tape that went well with the main image, eyelets and a ribbon.

Here's the inside.

This stamp comes from Agateria as well.

I'm putting this card for two challenges:
May challenge at Agateria
And Mother's Day challenge at The Pink Elephant

Have a nice weekend

Simply gorjuss

If you haven't noticed yet I'm in love with Santoro's Gorjuss stamp sets. Every single girl is so cute and I just love to color them with Promarkers and/or paper piece them.
For this card I've used stamp set called You brought me love. The paper pad is Basic Grey Sugar Rush 6x6 pad.

This time I've wanted to make something different than usual rectangular card. Decided to go with a circle.
To make it very girly I've added couple of rhinestones and pink glitter.

Here's how the inside looks like.

Hope you like it.
Take care,

Gorjuss hi

Hey there,

This card was made simply to try out a new paper pad I've got  from my cousin from Holland - Marianne design Fancy Flowers.

The designs in this pad are so delicate and girly. Almost all papers in the set make a great backgrounds. So all I've done is add a little bling to the flourishes.
This paper pad goes amazing with the girl stamp from Santoro's Gorjuss Little Heart stamp set.
I've paper pieced her dress and socks and rest is colored with Promarkers.

Putting this all together resulted in a cute little card.

Love,
elleth

Kid's card

It's the last of the cards from my little male-boy cards series.
This one is ment for a six year old boy.
Wanted to keep it simple, funny and interesting for a little boy. That's when I thought of making a little shaker-balloon.

Both robot pictures are digital stamps from Shery K Design.  

The first one just begged for googly-eyes. 

This is also my last entry for Simon Says Stamp birthday challenge.

Wish me luck,
elleth

Male card

This is another card using cute car stamp from Agateria.
Because it's a card for my father this time I've just colored the image with Promarkers and went with more 'grown-up' look.

The papers I've used came from two different packs - Papermania Bexley Black and some Me Too You set.

This is another card I'm entering into Simon Says Stamp birthday challenge.

Boy's card

This cute card I've made for My Sweet Boyfriend. It was a part of his birthday gift.
It's more boyish than masculine, but after all every guy is still a little boy inside.

The car image is a stamp from Agateria. I've stamped it several time on pieces of blue-colored cardstock, cut it out and mounted it using 3D glue dots to give the image a bit dimension. Also covered it with Glossy Accents to give it a shiny car look.
Pennants and sentiment also come from Agateria.
And the papers come from My Mind's Eye Away We Go paper pack.

Also I'm putting this card for a challenge at Simon Says Stamp blog and at Agateria blog :)

Have a great evening,
elleth

Easter

I wasn't exactly in making-holiday-cards mood this year but I have to made at least two ;-)
Actually it's just one design but the main image was done in two different techniques.

The one on the left is colored with Promarkes and the one on the right is done with watercolor pencils.

Now, the main image id not just a one stamp. I decided to try and make a scene using different stamp images and a masking technique. My first try with these but it turned out quite nice.

The stamps I've used were:

- "Some Bunny" by We R Memory Keepers

- a set from studio G that I do not know the name (a spring one)

- "Butterfly with flowers" by cArt-Us

- eggs are from Agateria and the sentiment is from Lemonade.

The pattern paper is from ScrapPasja.

Here's the inside

This is also going to be my second entry for Anything Goes Simon Says Stamp Challenge.

Have a happy holiday,
