Hi There!

I'm here today to show you a new card I've made for Eat Cake Graphics.
 
It's one of my small cards. I love tiny stamps with which I can make mini cards and Callie was just perfect!
 
This is my card:
 
 
This stamp is Callie's Looking Down and you can find it in Eat Cake Graphics shop. It's perfect alone, in a mini card like this, or to make a bigger scene with another stamp.
By the way... have you checked the new stamps available in the shop? You can find them all here in the What's New section.
I ordered mine and I can't wait to ink them up!

2 Cute Ink Challenge # 117 - Princesses and Queens.

What a great way to start the week!
Make a card inspired by a princess or a queen and enter our 2 Cute Ink Challenge!
 
There's a new stamp in 2 Cute Ink shop on Etsy called Pretty Princess which is perfect for your cards!
 
I've used it for mine:
 
 
This Pretty Princess is so cute and elegant and this paper I've found in my stash (from Best Creation)is perfect as a background: a castle, trees, glitter...
 
Considering that on Monday morning I usually clean the house... well, it's the day I'd like to be a princess!
 
I've seen some amazing cards from the DT so have a look at our Challenge blog and start creating!

Christmas Card Challenge # 46 - Color Challenge.

Good morning!
 
Are you ready for a new Christmas Card Challenge?
 
This week we have a color picture to inspire you:
 
 
And this is my take:

 
I've used the super-cute Ho Ho Whoa digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil. I've loved this image from the moment I saw it: a poor man with tons of boxes to carry home from the garage, a quite common scene at the beginning of December!
 
This week we have all taken different directions in the DT so you won't miss the oppurtunity to be inspired by different styles!
Have a look here on the Challenge Blog or on my teamies personal blogs:

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 280 - Christmas!

Here we are with Christmas again at C.R.A.F.T. Challenges!
 
Christmas is fast approaching and I guess most of you out there are making Christmas cards, tags or decorations.
 
This is the perfect occasion to show us some of them!
 
This is what I've done this week:
 
 
TAGS!
 
You know how I LOVE tags and the image I chose for this week was perfect for a cute tiny tag!
 
This snowman is from the Winter 1 Collection from Fitztown.
After coloring them with Copics and glitter, I mounted them on striped tags I got from Ikea last summer.
 
Fitztown is one of our fabuluous sponsors this week so let's start working on a new card or project! We look forward to seeing what you create!

Sew Happy!

Hello!
I'm back with another new creation, this time with sewers in mind.
 
Although I love pretty floral fabrics, I'm not a sewer. My few attempts to sew something failed miserably... with a broken sewing machine.
 
Last Christmas I wanted to make a personalised gift for a sewer so I created a little set of useful things with sewing as a theme.
My friend appreciated it and I decided it was time to create the same set for my shop.
 
Ths is the first part:
 
 
She is Mouse from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Copics and mounted on a cardboard plaque covered with patterned paper.
I went for a lilac palette, just to change from my beloved pinks!
 
I wish I had a sewing room to hang it out of the door!

Have a Happy Day!

Inspired by the current challenge at Paper Smooches I decided to create some sweet simple cards with one of their stamps.
 
Probably beacuse I'm working on some particularly detailed commissions, I needed some time to relax and do something clean, simple and fresh.
 
I made these little cards:
 
 
The clock stamp is from Perpetual Bliss, my very first set of stamps from Paper Smooches.
 
Being very busy with commissions from Customers and for my challenge groups, I rarely have time to create something free of any kind of theme or image so I enjoyed myself very much doing these cuties!
The most difficult part was, as usual, to part with my buttons (these are among my fav!)...
 
I hope you like them as much as I do!

Always Together.

Have you heard the great news?
 
Eat Cake Graphics has just released 48 new amazing stamps!
You can find them all here in the What's new section of their shop.
 
I'm still choosing my new stamps but today I want to show you a card made with one of their old ones:
 
 
This adorable couple is Main Squeeze and I imagined them in their old '60s home posing for a picture to be sent to nephews and nieces.
 
Papers are from Peebles (Front Porch) while the couple is colored with Copics.
 
I LOVE them!

Christmas Card Challenge # 45 - Layer It Up!

Layers, layers, layers!
That's what we want to see in your cards this week at Christmas Card Challenges!
 
This is my card:
 
 
I don't know if you can see all these layers from this picture: card base, background paper, paper stripe (both from Papermania), ribbon and bow and button, rabbits with a pop-up scarf...
 
I love to add dimension on my card and to add details to my images using 3D dots!
 
These rabbits are one of my recent purchases from Cuddly Buddly: they are Bunny Buddies and I loved how they are wrapped up in that big cozy scarf!
 
My teamies have made a great job this week too!!!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 279 - Embossing.

October... Can you believe it?
 
Since yesterday, weather here is very very gloomy: rain, fog, no sunshine... The magic of fall with its golden colours has suddenly disappeared!
 
If I had a genie, I'd ask for sunny warm days the whole year!
 
Inspired by these thoughts, I've made this card for our new C.R.A.F.T. Challenge.
The theme is embossing and I've chosen and embossed white paper as background for my genie lamp:
 
 
The image is Genie Sentiments 1 from Scrapper's Delights. I printed the image on an embossed paper, then the lamp only on white cardstock. I then colored it, cut it and glued with dimensional dots on the panel.
 
Scrapper's Delights is one of our fab sponsors this week!

October is just around the corner and October means Halloween!
 
And Halloween is the theme here at 2 Cute Ink Challenges for this fortnight.
 
This is my card:
 
 
This cute little owl is one of the new creations from 2 Cute Ink shop (by the way, have you seen how many cute new digi stamps have been added to the shop recently?).
I colored it with my Copics and used some papers from my stash.
 
Have a look at our challenge blog and start making your own card or project: we can't wait to see them!
