A new baby girl

As the header says: A new baby girl has been born!!

This cute image is an oldie I found some time ago on this blog.

I think it makes a great baby card!

The paper is a pad from Marianne Design. I used dies from different brands and this sentiment is Marianne Design too. A close up:

A peek at the inside: The sentiment is by LOTV. The butterflies I punched with Martha Stewart.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, where else :)?

Mr and Mrs, Weddingcake box

Hi sweet blogfriends!

Finally I can post this project on my blog! Our son and his bride are wed!!
When I saw this tutorial here I knew I had to make this for them. I made the lid a bit less high and it worked out perfectly don't you think? This post has a lot of photographs so I hope you can bare with me ;-).

The box:

I bought the ribbon at the marketplace.
The top has a stamp I won at Bev's some time ago and can be bought at LOTV,
the DP is from Rayer and came from Pipoos.
The doily is Cheery Lynn's Design called Kiwi Spirit.

A close up:

When the lid is taken off the box is opening like this:

The sentiments are from Hallmark and are cut with Wonky Squares. 

 A close up at the 'cake' :

The flowers are Ilse's Craft accessories and the hearts are punched with Doily hearts by Martha Stewart.

You give me wings

Hi to all my blog followers,

thanks you for the lovely comments you leave me, really love to read them :).

Now on the card I want to show you today: I saw this LO in a magazine and I loved it! I gave it my own twist et voilà here it is, lol. The gorgeous papers are Marianne Design (Eline's Flowerz) as well as the birdcage, branch and lace die.
The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch. The charm came from a shop that has stopped to exist, sadly enough. The sentiment on the small tag I got for free at a fair for some reason. The doily is from Cheery Lynn Designs and can be bought ->here<-, these doily dies are a pleasure to work with, every single piece of paper is coming out perfectly, weather you take some cardstock of just a piece of paper. I love them and you will see more of them shortly.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and are called Aster Daisy(Chrysant) and a few rosebuds.

Here is a peek on the inside:

I am entering this card for a challenge at Creative Inspirations which is:

Decorate the inside of your card.

No sentiment here yet, don't know whom it is for and when I do I'll finish it.
Thanks for stopping by and leave me a comment and I'll come visit you.

HUGS!

Christmas star

Hi everyone!

I found todays card at Wilga blog: My paper passion.

It is a small booklet in the shape of a star, when open. Closed it triangle shaped.

Because there where no messures at the site I tried some measures and I found that the squares (there are 5 of them!) where most likely 12,5 cm, but you can make them bigger if you like.

I used a Pretty Paper Bloc by Marianne D. named Scandinavian Christmas.

The ribbon came from WOC

The above snowflake is made with a snowflake
by Marianne D. and a punch by Martha Stewart.

All stamps came from a set bought at

a lowbudget store (Kruitvat for the Dutch people :) ).

Thank you for stopping by my blog.

What part of: Cats don't like water, didn't you understand?

Hi, after a long, very long time a post from me. As you know we have 2 cats, one of them is a real fat one 9,6kg! In the last 5 weeks or so, he wouldn't eat nor drink. So he lost al lot of weight, about 2,4kg. Even the vet (been there about 5 times!!!)didn't know what the reason of this weightloss was. A bloodtest was in place: his liver is not doing to well, not alarming but he had a little more attention from me more than usual, lol.

So on to todays card, hope you like it!

The image is from Design House Papercraft: C'attitude. The DP Little Yellow Bicycle and G.C.D.Studios. The sentiment is by Marianne Design.
Hope you can see the sparkles on the wet cat, sparkles made by an Atyou Spica Clearpen.

The border is made with a punch by Martha Stewart,

a bow, pearls and some buttons finished it.

Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully my cat is feeling better in a few days.

Wings of Hope

Hi everyone,

finally I managed to get a card done. I have been real busy doing other stuff.

The Wings of Hope stamp is created for a good cause:

if you buy this stamp, the money goes to the people if Haiti and I just learned that

it raised already over $ 1100,-!!

The stamp is temporary available at Whimsy Stamps.

Here you can read all about it.

I never used digi-stamps before and had to figure out how big or small I wanted it. After a couple of try-outs I found my way, lol.

Here it is:

I watercoloured the image and made some accents with a white gelpen (Sakura).

The wings are covered with Stickles glitterglue.

The DP is Basic Grey - Lilykate
Ribbon and flowers from stash.
Punch is by Martha Steward (fond)

Here is a peek at the inside:
DP is Doodlebug Design inc. and
Basic Grey - Lilykate
The sentiment is computer generated.

Challanges

Hi,
This time again a card inspired by Bev. I saw this a while ago on her blog and I thought maybe I 'll give it a go. And it fits two challanges: at PaperPlay Challanges: Precious Metals (the butterfly) and at Papertake Weekly : New Beginnings (adding my first charm ever).

I had some white flowers and wanted them a little red(cause I didn't have any red), took one of my few Copic's and coloured the edges a little red. I think they look good. I added a little stickles in the centre, as you can see here:

I also added a charm, my first ever! It took me a while to figure it out and I did, so in future I will use charms more often.

Here is a closer look at Willow:

DP: Doodlebug design inc.
Stamp: WOJ
Punch: Martha Stewart, edge and frond
Charm came from Cute Stamps and Cards
Ribbon, flowers and adhesive stone from my stash.

I hope you enjoyed your stay at my blog and are willing to leave me a comment!

Birthday wishes

Hi there,

I hope you all started good this year! The wether is cold, can't remember it being so cold and snowy, bbrrr. I don't want to go out, but who is going to do the shopping? That'll be ME.

Today I want to share this giftbox with you, I made for my SIL. I found some green, shiny paper (A4), I got from a no longer existing store, there is no name on them (so sorry) and an empty transparent box. I used this as a template.


The stamps are Magnolia and WOJ (sentiment) some flowers and Martha Stewart (frond) .
Coloured with watercolourpencils. Cut with Cuttlebug and square Nestabilities.
Hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by!
