CraftyHazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge for June.

What a busy month May has been! Sorry for my lack of posts but I was really really busy making party decorations for little girls... I should start posting some of them here on the blog too!

 

Anyways, June 1 means a new CraftyHazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge!

 

This is my card:

 

 

I used Have a 'Beary' Sweet Day digi stamp from Gerda Steiner and papers from Docrafts. A little card for a super-sweet friend!

 

Have a look at all the lovely cards made by our DT: you can find them all here!

 



CraftyHazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge for March.

Welcome March and welcome to a new CraftyHazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge!

 

We are freezing here so I hope you March bring us some warmer weather...

 

Anyways... here's my card for this month:

 

 

She's Photographer Toodle from Broken Box Stock while background papers are from Simple Stories.

The sentiment is a stamp from Paper Smooches while the pin stamp is from Lawn Fawn.

 

Have a look here to see the lovely cards from the DT!

 

 



Sewn with Love.

Hello!

I'm finally back with a new card, today for Gerda Steiner December Challenge.

 

This is what I created:

 

 

I received this sweet Bunny as I took part in their November challenge and I was SO happy to have something not related to Christmas to work with!

Background papers are from Papermania and the sentiment is from There She Goes.

 

Isn't is super-cute?



CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for October - Mid-Month Inspiration.

I'm sooo late today with my mid-month post for CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra!

 

Anyways... here's my card:

 

 

I chose Snowman Set 2 from our super-sponsor Bugaboo Stamps, colored it with Copics and mounted it on papers from Echo Park and Cartabella.

 

I'm in love with this snowman, it's so sweet while hugging the little chick!

 

Have a look here to see all the other cards from the DT, you'll surely be inspired!



Gerda Steiner October Challenge - With Love.

Good afternoon!

 

I'm here today for my monthly post for Gerda Steiner Challenge.

 

We received this adorable Racoon digital stamp as we took part in their September challenge and it was a pleasure to create a card with its funny face looking at me!

 

This is my card:

 

 

I colored it with Copics and positioned it on papers from Pebbles and We R Memory Keepers.

I loved the fact that there was a little racoon in the background paper too!

The sentiment is froma stamp set I found in a magazine.

 

I'd like to enter the following challenge:

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for October.

Welcome to a new CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for October!

 

A couple of months and we'll be surrounded by decorations and Christmas songs... I LOVE Christmas but I'm not ready for winter yet...

 

Anyways, here's my card for this month:

 

 

I chose Shopping Girls digi stamp from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps with the idea to turn these girls into friends doing their Christmas shopping.

The background paper (from Toga) is a Christmas one but unfortunately the gingerbreads are all covered by either the image or the sentiment so it doesn't seem too Christmas-sy...

I loved the colors I chose so I decided to keep the paper and finish the card.

 

Have a look here on the blog to see the other cards made by the DT.

 

Can't wait to see what you create!

Have a "Micey" Day.

Good morning!

 

I'm here today for my monthly card for the Gerda Steiner Progressive Challenge.

 

This month we had to create a card with the sweetest mice ever:

 

 

Sweet Tooth Mouse!

 

 

I colored it with Copics and used some old papers from Wild Rose Studio as background.

The sentiment is from PennyBlack.

 

I received it for free since I participated in their August challenge but you can buy it here in Gerda Steiner Designs shop.

 

Have a micey day!

You Are So Sweet...

Hello!

I'm here today to show you my card for Gerda Steiner July Challenge:

 

 

It's the super sweet Strawberry Mouse digi stamp available from Gerda Steiner.

I colored it with Copics and used papers from Papermania as background.

 

It's so cute, isn't it?

A Cute Little Fox!

A rainy day here in my town, a perfect weather to talk about fall!

 

I have a cute little fox card to show you today:

 

 

It's Cute Fox and I received it from Gerda Steiner Designs as I took part in her July Challenge.

 

I opted for a fall theme and chose a background paper from ModaScrap. I colored the fox with my Copics and added a few pearls in the corners.

The banner is from Paper Smooches while sentiments and leaves are from TSG stamps (oh! how I miss them!).

I wanted a simple card with the little fox as the focus and I like how it has turned out!

Chipboard Crazy - Part 7.

A new card this week for the "Chipboard Crazy" series (you can find me previous post here):

 

 

This time I opted for softer colors using papers from W R Memory Keepers.

Under the Weather?

The wording on the card I'm showing you today is really appropriate for this moment. Well, not for me but for my mom who's been a bit under the weather since the beginning of this new year.

 

 

 

I've had this Froggy Lolita digi stamp from Star Stampz (from the shop Spesch Designer Stamps) for a while and I thought it was time to use it.

This little girl has the perfect face for someone a bit "under the weather"!

 

I wanted the image to stand out so I chose a simple background paper and added only a few embellishments. The stamp is colored with Copics.

She's so sweet! And what about the little frog?!

Chipboard Crazy - Part 3.

A new week and a new card made with those chipboard embellishments I decided to put in good use!

(You can read part 1 & 2 here and here).

 

This time it's a more romantic card, with a lovely pink typewriter and some resin roses:

 

 

The part I prefer while making these cards is to choose matching papers and layer them on the card base. I also love adding embellishments and little details!
