A Cute Squirrel Card made by my Daughter.

I bought this lovely squirrel from 2 Cute Ink back in May for a custom project and my daughter fell in love with it.

 

When she heard about the Fall challenge at 2 Cute Ink she asked me if I could post a card for her to take part in the challenge.

 

Here's her card:

 

 

I let her choose one paper from my stash (I have no idea of the brand, it's very very old) and then she added a piece of washi tape and a lots of rhinestones.

 

I love it!

 

This card is for the following challenges:

2 Cute Ink Challenge # 115: Fall

Cute Card Thursday Challenge # 339: Awesome Autumn!



Have a Happy Day!

In the North of Italy we haven't had a great summer.

Weather has been miserable for most of the time, rainy and cold.

Luckily enough I went to the seaside for a few days and it was sunny and warm but I feel like I've not had enough sun this year. Autumn is just around the corner and no, I'm not ready for cold again!

 

While still hoping for warmer and sunnier days, I made a card using one of my beloved Eat Cake Graphics stamps:

 

She is Daphne on her Floatie Bear and you probably remember her from another card I made (here).

This time I opted for a dotted background and added punched dots, as if they were bubbles.

Again, this little girl reminds me of my daughter when she was a little girl and used her floatie bear...

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 277 - Color Combo.

Thursday again so here we are with a new C.R.A.F.T. Challenge!

 

This week we have a color inspiration for you:

 

 

Brown, Aqua and Pink!

 

This is my card:

 

I've used Toot My Scoot from The Stamping Chef and mounted it on a background card from the Sweet Owl paper pad from First Edition.

I love her 50's look!

 

When I was a teeneager I dreamt about having a Vespa but my parents never let me have one for the fear of accidents. I've never driven motorcycles but Vespa is still my fav!

2 Cute Ink Challenge # 115 - Fall.

It's all about fall this fortnight here at 2 Cute Ink Challenges and I must confess I was really inspired by the colors of fall when I reached for the papers to be used in my card.

 

I chose Boy and Frog digi stamp from 2 Cute Ink shop for my card:

 

The yellow card base is decorated with two stripes cut from an old scrapbook paper from My Little Shoebox and some pretty buttons.

Isn't he the cutest boy around?

 

As I told you I was very inspired by the colors of fall so I made another project:

 

I bought some of these cute kraft bags in Austria back in August (I regret I hadn't bought more...) and covered the front with a paper from Reminisce.

I then added Sunflower Girl digi stamp which I bought a while ago from 2 Cute Ink shop.

Both kids are colored with Copics and glued with 3D dots so they pop up from the projects.

 

These kids are too cute! I should make a card with them together!

 

Let's have a look at 2 Cute Ink Challenge blog to see the creations from my fellow DT, they are wonderful as usual!

Christmas Card Challenge # 42 - Color Challenge.

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

This week we have a color challenge with a great palette, this one:

 

These colors are so beautiful, for Christmas and for every other season!

 

This is my card:

 

 

I bought this aperture card a long time ago in the UK, maybe around 18 years ago and I immediately thought about it when I saw this digi at A Random Fan shop on Etsy.

They are called The Carolers and for me it was love at first sight!

I adore carolers for Christmas and I really couldn't miss this one!
(I printed the color chart above when I made the card but the last color resulted a bit more green that it seems from the computer, that's why the girl has a green hat!...).

 

I've just checked the challenge page and I must say that all the cards are fabulous!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 276 - Christmas!

Christmas again at C.R.A.F.T. Challenges!

 

This week I've used an image you already saw a few months ago, Carolers from Karen's Doodles, in a small card:

 

 

I printed these adorable giraffes on a paper from Goodness and Fun available at My Grafico and colored them with Copics and glitter.

I wanted to make a speecial envelope for this card but I didn't manage to finish it in time for the challenge!

Christmas Card Challenge # 41 - Think Skinny.

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

This week we want you to Think Skinny and make a tall and skinny card.

This is one of my old Lasting Impressions embossed card which I decorated with a digi stamp from Gerda Steiner called Mousephone Friends.
