Winter Wishes & Snowflake Kisses

Hey!

Almost the end of 2014 and one of my last cards I will make this year ;-). Here's a card I made with Sketch #91 from i {heart} sketches. I also used the twist "stitching".

The image is from FTHS and it's called Winter Friends and I colored it with Promarkers.  The white linen card base is embossed with a snowflakes embossing folder and I used 2 tones of blue stamp ink to make the flakes more visible. Made some faux stitching lines along the snowflakes paper and cardstock. The sentiment is a digi I have on my computer and the snowflake brad and pearls came from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Candy Cane the Sassy Elf

 Hey!

Welcome to a new DTBST Challenge at Sassy Studio Designs. This weeks challenge is called "Let it Snow".

I colored this image called "Candy Cane the Sassy Elf" with Promarkers and made a snowball easel card. I just drew a circle and teared the edges. I used gesso to create some texture and added glitter to it while wet. After it dried I finished it with punched out snowflakes, a snowflake charm and a sentiment. I used die cut snowflakes to create a stop so the card stays in place.

Hope you'll join this fun challenge and let it snow!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Hugs,

Christmas Spirit Birdbrain

Hey!

Here's my take on this weeks sketch with a twist from i {heart} sketches (#90) together with the December Free Stamp of The Month by From the Heart Stamps.

The image is called Christmas Spirit Birdbrain. So love this image. I colored this cutie with Promarkers.
The cardbase is white linen cardstock. On top of that I adhered a piece of glitter vinyl. The little strips of patterned Christmas papers are some scraps. I created some rolls of wrapping paper and tucked it underneath the image. The HOHOHO are recycled from a card I had laying around.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Wreath

Hey!

It's Thursday and that means a brand new Dare To Be Sassy Thursday Challenge at Sassy Studio Designs. This weeks theme is Colors of Christmas.

I used the wreath from the digi called Hanging the Wreath. I colored it with Promarkers added a sentiment in the middle, glitter to the red ribbon on the wreath and a bow out of satin ribbon. I adhered on top of the little berries on the wreath some gems to make it sparkle a lot. Underneath the wreath I adhered red and silver die cut glitter decoration vinyl and 4 metal corner to finish the card.

Hope you'll join the fun to get the chance to win some SSD images of your choice. If you play along with a SSD image you can enter twice.

Sick Chick

Hey!

Here's a card I made for the new Sketch #89 with a twist challenge at I {heart} sketches.
As I am having a pneumonia at the moment I decided to make a get well card.

This From the Heart Stamps image is called Sick Chick and I colored this little guy with Promarkers. The red piece is glitter decoration vinyl, the white on top is corrugated paper from a box of cookies. The ribbon is recycled from a shirt. I hate those inside my shirts to hang it onto. They always get out of my shirt. The sentiment is Dutch for Get Well Soon.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

All that Glitter

Skating Birdbrain

Hey!

Here's my last creation for my term as Guest Designer for From The Heart Stamps. I loved it and want to thank Faith for letting me design for you and Imke for your warm welcome and great contact.

This is my midweek reminder for the i {heart} sketches challenge with sketch #88 with a twist. I used a new image called Skating Birdbrain and colored it with Promarkers. I found a lovely photo of a lake with ice where I placed this cute png image onto. I matted it on some white cardstock and underneath I adhered 2 pieces of cardstock that went through my Cuttlebug in a snowflake- and woodgrain embossing folder. I added some ink to sow the embossing better. I adhered 2 felt snowflake under the image and added a flatback pearl on top.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Bottle Tag Card

 

Hey!

Today Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring Crafter's Cafe with challenge #92  called Thank You Card.

I made a bottle tag card using SSD image France Honey. I colored the image with Promarkers. The tag is simple to make. I took a strip of kraft cardstock scored it at 1/3th of the tag and in the small part I punched a hole big enough to fit a bottle neck. I stamped with two different thank you stamps to make a background. At the bottom of the tag I used a edge punch and adhered a strip of dark bluw linen cardstock that I also had used under the image. Just below the fold I added a piece of stretchy lace and the butterflies are die cuts out of vellum.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Harvest/Thanksgiving

 

Hey!

Welcome to a new fortnight challenge at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog, theme Harvest/Thanksgiving.

We don't have this theme festivities in my country, but always love pumpkins. We had a Pumpkin/Halloween fair close by every year but since a few years it's forced to end the fair because of complains by other farmers. So sad that happened because it's a lot of fun for the kids.

Well here's my big pumpkin card featuring Rory's Giant Pumpkin. I colored her with Promarkers. The big and small pumpkin are made with oval die cuts and the stems are cut free hand. The pumpkin vines are also made with die cuts. The grass is a die cut from Mariekes Design and at the bottom of the card I adhered a strip of corrugated kraft paper.

Hope you'll join our challenge. Can't wait to see all your creations.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Feliz Dia De Los Muertos...which is Happy Day of the Dead!

If you came from Louise's Blog you're in the right place. If not go back to the SBS blog and start from there so you won't miss out on anything.

I am not in the SBS DT, but as a DT member of Love to Create we are Guest DT's for this hop. I love the SBS images.

This is my version of Lenore Evermore on which I drew a Day of the Dead face. - That's so new for me. Didn't know there was such day. We also don't have Halloween in my country. - I colored her with Promarkers. Gave her a little hot pink gem earring and added some glitter to the flowers. First time I used green as a hair color but I love it. The background I found on the internet and added the image to it in Word. The colors of linen cardstock that I used are; white for the card base, black, neon pink, neon green and bright yellow. Pieces of lace are black and neon pink.

Now hop on over to Kay's Blog to see what she has created.
