To a Very Special Daughter.

Just a quick post today to show you a card I've recently made with one new stamp from Eat Cake Graphics:

 

 

Isn't this image super cute and super sweet?

 

She is Willow and Her Forest Friends and I chose her because she reminds me of my daughter who used to sit down surrounded by her teddy bears and teddy rabbits while reading tales.

 

You can find this stamp here in Eat Cake Graphics shop.

A Last Minute Valentine Card.

Although a few days ago I decided I was done with Valentine cards for this year, I wanted to make another card to take part in Whimsie Doodles January Challenge.

 

I have a digi I adore which I made into a little magnetic notebook last year (you can see it here) but I had to make a card too:

 

 

This digi is part of the Valentine Punnies collection (you can find it here).It seems that I love yellows for Valentine cards, this being the last of a series of yellow cards.

 

And this suggests me that I must have some cheese and pasta for lunch today!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 296 - Valentine/Love.

Welcome to the last C.R.A.F.T. Challenge of the month!

 

This week we want to see your Valentine or love-themed cards and projects!

 

This is mine:

 

 

I opted for a clean and simple card which could be suitable for a man and choose these adorable birds from StitchyBear Stamps.

The digi is called Second Day of Christmas because it has a Christmas message all around the birds. But, magic of the digital stamps, I cancelled the sentiment and voilà... a perfect image for valentine's Day!

 

They are cute, aren't they?

 

Have a look here and be inspired by the fab creations of the team and don't forget to check the sponsors we have this week!

A Sweet Little Mini Card.

I've had some spare time this afternoon to play with a freebie image I got from Lia Stampz and make a card for their challenge.

 

There were two sketches to choose from. I chose this one:

 

 

and decided to make the tiniest of cards:

 

 

This cute bunny (you can find it here) came with a sentiment but I made a mistake while resizing it and it came out too big for this card so I opted for a more traditional I Love You which I had in my stash.

 

I used scraps of paper and a heart button and made the cutest of cards!

 

I don't know why but mini cards are always my fav!

Paper is from First Edition mounted on a decorated card base (the red with white dots area) I found somewhere last summer while travelling.

Yummy!

Bugaboo 5th Birthday Party Celebrations - Day 7.

Yesterday was the last day of the celebrations for Bugaboo 5th Birthday and we had a variety of recipes to play with. It was difficult to choose one!

 

I went for the Popcorn recipe: use 3D objects!

 

 

Since I love to add dimension to my cards with 3D dots, buttons, pearls or rhinestones etc. I thought it was the recipe for me.

 

This is my card:

 

He is AKV World Flags - USA (I left the flag blank so it can be filled with a sentiment or a little message) from Bugaboo Stamps and papers from DCWV.

 

Well, last card for a very busy week! I'm happy I managed to find some time to make a new card for each challenge and be part of their 5th Birthday Celebrations!. I love Bugaboo Stamps and it's been a good reason to use some of the images I collected over the years!

Hello again with a new card to celebrate Bugaboo 5th Birthday!

 

The theme for the Thursday Challenge is Clowns!

 

I'm happy to have the reason to use one of my clown stamps and make another bright card!

Here I am again for another card to celebrate Bugaboo 5th Birthday!

 

The theme for the Wednesday Challenge is Humor Me!

 

This is my card:

 

 

I LOVE this girl walking around as if she were a princess! I'm totally different from her but for once I'd like to feel like her!

 

She is Not Everyone Can Be a Princess from Bugaboo Stamps of course. I colored her with Copics and mounted her on a circle card covered with a striped paper from Papermania.

I loved this clean and crisp look!

 

This card is for Bugaboo Stamps 5th Birthday Wednesday Challenge: Humor Me!

On Tuesday the theme was colors, these ones:

 

 

Bright and full of energy!

 

And I used them in this card:

 

She is the adorable Spring Bird - Summer Dress, I think one of my first Bugaboo Stamps!

I used a background paper from Best Creations and added rhinestones here and there.

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 295 - Recycling.

A great challenge today at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge: Recycling!

 

Interesting, isn't it?

 

I love to have to re-use something or find a new way to use an old thing that I would otherwise throw into the garbage bin.

 

This week I've decided to re-use an old music sheet. A while ago I found an old music book in a second-hand shop and I decided to buy it and use the sheets for my crafts.

To tell you the truth I always hesitate before tearing pages apart from old books, for me they are all precious but I love the look they give so I have a go.

 

This is my card:

 

 

My image is H is for Happy Birthday from A Day for Daisies colored with Copics. I tried to choose colors with a vintage look but the card turned out bright and cheerful!

 

If you are looking for more ideas on recycling, have a look here on our Challenge blog: my teamies have done a great job this week too!
