Happy Valentines Day Everyone! Hope you all have a day full of LOVE-liness today! :)  Sorry I'm a day late with posting the second part of my  Heartfelt Creations Tattered Blossoms Release creations for DutchPaperCrafts . But now here they are: On this card I used the Heartfelt Creations TatteredBlossom Swirl  pre-cut Stamp Set HCPC3469 as well as the Tattered Blossoms Die  HCD 722 . Sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Friendship Notables 2 and cut out with a Whimsy Shapeology die Notables 2. Other dies used are from Spellbinders - floral ovals and classic ovals. As usual the image was colored using Copics. On the inside I stamped a smaller Tattered Blossom Swirl image to complement the outside. As for my second card I used the collage stamp from the Heartfelt Creations Tattered Blossom Set HCPC 3471. I used heavy cardstock in shimmery brown for the base, bling cardstock in antique pink as layer and Arjo Wiggins curious...

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone! Today I'd like to show you a card I made using Marianne Creatables LR 0241 und LR0242. Darlene from Dutch Paper Crafts has just released these Marianne Design Creatables called Petra's Ovals and Anja's Squares & Labels . As always Darlene has put up a fantastic video to show you samples (this time made by me ;-) ) with these dies! To see all the different dies available please visit the Dutch Paper Crafts blog! Note: Unfortunately I have to put my watermark from now on right on the card and also on part of the colored image (or at least close to it) instead of in one of the corners. Again one of my images was copied from my blog, printed out and re-used as 'own creation' from the thief. Well that happened before as well as the whole cards got copied and put on other blogs and I even saw one of my creations on Etsy one time as sample for a 'made-to-order' item. Awww this really makes me sick! And ...

Hello Everyone and Happy Thursday! Ummmm Thursday already again...can you believe that? Time's flying and only about 89 Days til Christmas...LOL. Are you counting already ??? Today I have some note cards to share. I made them using the Memory Box Debutante Frames all available at Dutch Paper Crafts. Just email Darlene with your order. With this die set you can make up a card really quickly. For 3 of my note cards I used the  98297 Debutante Frame   as base. On my first card I used in addition to the base the 98298 Vaudeville Frame. The little adorable monster is a SCACD stamp from the Susana Love's Stamps Monster collection called 'Monster Mash' . I stamped the Monster onto X-press it! card using Tuxedo Black ink from Memento. It was then colored using Copics Sketch markers and ShinHan Touch Twin markers. To embellish I've added white sheer and organza ribbon some rhinestones, a glazed brad and a button. The sentiment comes with the st...

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a great week so far! Today I have some early Christmas greetings for you from 'Walter the Moose'. It's a Magnolia stamp from this years fall collection if I'm not mistaken. He is just too adorable and I couldn't resist on getting this cutie. I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-press it card. Of course he was colored with Copic's (E30's, E70's and W-grays) like always. The outline was done with pencils and OMS. The designer papers are from an older Basic Grey collection called 'Jovial' I love these papers. The snow under his feet is 'Shaved Ice' from Stampendous. The snow on the fence and trees is made with  Snow-Tex (DecoArt) and Aleene's True Snow. Pearl swirls are from Want to Scrap. The dies I've used on the outside of the card are Marianne Design Creatables LR0136 Christmas Tree and LR0205 Fence and Magnolia Heart Swirl and Star Tag. You can get the...
