Beterschap

Hi crafty friends!

I made this get well card for my uncle who's in the hospital right now.

I first stamped the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copic markers. I used to coordinating die to cut it out.

Next I colored the background with the Altenew Liquid marble stencil and 2 distress oxide inks.
I used the Jumbo Peek-a-Boo Circle Window from MFT to cut out the circle and I used a rectangle die for the front card.
The sentiment is a combination of Carlijn Design and CraftEmotions and is heat set with white embossing powder.

Finally I adhered everything with foam tape to create some dimension.

Just saying hello

Happy Sunday!

The positive thing about the quarantine period is that you can spend lots of time in your craft room. Here I have a new card featuring the Painted Butterflies stamp set from Altenew.

Get Well

Happy Friday!

My card for today is a get well card.

I stamped the Crocus flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Then I die cut the window frame with the
Jumbo Peek-a-Boo Circle Window from MFT. I stamped the background with the Old Handwriting stamp from Crealies and adhered everything.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from CraftEmotions with Versafine Onyx Black ink. It means 'get well' in Dutch.

A hug especially for you

Hi all!

I made this card on request for my sister. She wants to send some cards to friends and family during this quarantine period.

The flower from MFT was actually a leftover found in my stash. It was gold embossed and colored with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink.
I created the border with the same gold embossing powder and did the same with the sentiment which is from Marianne Design. It means 'A hug especially for you' in Dutch.

Finally I embossed the background with a Next Level Gemstone Embossing Folder and assembled the card. For the flower I used foam tape to create some dimension.

For the orange sheep I changed the face to a happy face and added googly eyes.

Card with hidden message

Hi all!

What do you do when the government advises you to stay inside... Right, you spend as much time as possible in your craft room :)

I stamped this Cosmos Bloom Background from SSS with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it completely with Copic markers.

I used the Groetjes die from Karin Joan and created a hidden sentiment.

Smile It's Your Birthday

Happy Saturday!

My card for today is based on the Circle theme from Addicted to CAS and the colors from CAS Colours & Sketches #362.

In our kitchen we have a magnetic board with smiley face emoji magnets.
That's where I found my inspiration for the circle part. 
I searched the internet for smiley faces and found 2 smileys I was happy with. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut them out.
On the photo it looks like a red smiley but IRL it's more like a dark pink color.


The background is stamped with Halftone Circles from Altenew and Memento Summer Sky.
The sentiment is from MFT and is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

Finally I adhered the 2 smiley faces with foam tape for some dimension.

Baby girl card

Hi crafty friends!

My daughter's best friend got a new baby sister so I made her a baby card.

First I blended the background with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. Next I die cut a heart out of this paper and stamped the sentiment with Altenew Antique Gold pigment ink.

Then I inked a piece of paper with the same Distress oxide ink for the onesie. I stamped the onesie with Versamark and heat set this with white embossing powder. I used the matching die to cut it out. I also die cut a heart from the same set and colored it with Altenew Antique Gold pigment ink.

Finally I used foam tape to adhere this panel to the card base.

Beautiful Day

Happy Saturday!

Today I played with the Beautiful Day stamp set from Altenew and my Zig markers.
I don't have much experience with watercoloring but it's my intention to do it more often this year.

I stamped the flowers and leaves with Versafine Onyx Black ink and colored them with Zig markers. Next I cut them out by hand.

The background is also colored with some water and a Zig marker.
Finally I stamped the sentiment and adhered the flowers and leaves with foam squares for dimension.

Best wishes tulips

Happy Saturday!

Yesterday I pulled out my Zig markers and made this soft spring tulips card.

I first stamped the tulips from Create A Smile with Versamark and heat set them with white embossing powder. Next I colored them with Zig markers and cut them out by hand.

For the background I randomly stamped the butterfly from the same stamp set and also heat set them with white embossing powder. Next I used a blending brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to color the background.
For the butterflies I used a smaller blending brush and Ocean Waves Altenew ink to make them a bit darker.

Finally I created the circle with a pierced circle die and adhered the border of a scallop rectangle die to it . I colored the circle background with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink and adhered everything with foam tape for some dimension.

The sentiment is from the Cool Cuts Tiny Sentiments die set and is stacked 3 times also to create some dimension.
