I've used the Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit again! Love this Kit! :)

Than i used 3 colors of Distress inks - Spiced Marmalade - Wild Honey and Mustard Seed and sponged over it,starting with the darkest at the bottom.

Hello everyone,

Happy Sunday!

I didn't think i would post today,but i got to make a card! :)

I think i am the last one playing with the August Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp! ;)
It finaly arrived yesterday! Did i already mention,how much i hate German Customs??!! They,for some reason keep my stuff for several weeks...and i am not talking about 1-2 weeks,i mean like 4-6 weeks!! :( Wished i knew what their problem is!! The first few Kits always made it between 1-2 weeks,and this one took 4 weeks!! :/
Ok,it got here and i am happy! haha

I made a card for the latest CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge!!

I've used some Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents on top of the hearts and ice cream

Thank you so much for stopping by!!!

Hello Beautiful

Hi everyone,

Happy Saturday!! Finaly weekend! :)
I hope everyone had a fabulous week so far!
Mine was fine,just not much to do outside,since the weather is SO bad!It feels like fall over here! I am ok with it,since Fall is my favorite time of the year! :)

Today,i got a card for the latest My Creative Time Challenge!!
I was lucky to win their last one,so Thank you SO much again Emma and Team!! :)

You can either use the photo inspiration,the colors or both together! I choose the colors,they are so beautiful!!

For my card,i've used My Creative Time's Pretty Spring Wreaths to start my card.I didn't use the wreaths,that come in the Set,but the little leaves,branch and dots that are included in this Set to create my wreath! The HELLO die and beautiful come from MCT's Speech Bubble Sentimens.
And the stitched Flowers are also from My Creative Time,their called Flower Petal Dies,these are still my favorite Flower Dies!!
I've used Wink of Stella on top of the word die.I have a little tip,incase you don't already know.
Incase your Pen is empty,don't toss it.There is SO much glitter left inside,that if you fill it with a little water,it will work again just fine!! I already filled my pen twice and it still works perfectly!!

Have a wonderful weeknd everyone!! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Hope your day is special

The Card Concept #17

Hi everyone,

Happy Wednesday!!

Today i am back with a new The Card Concept Challenge!!
We have a beautiful inspiration for you this week!!

This time i am showing you a card made with the Clean and Layerd style!!
Sorry for the bad pic.We have way to much rain here in Germany.Makes it pretty hard for me,taking a good pic.
I was of course inspired by the flower and the colors!! I used a Set from Clearly Besotted called You are,since the petals of these flowers came pretty close to the inspiration pic.
The leaves where die cut out of vellum and white heat embossed! The sentiment is also from Clearly Besotted,from their elegant Butterflies Set! The stitched layer die is from My Creative Time called Stitched Journal Die.And i've used My Favorite Things - Sour Apple Hybrid Ink to stamps the flowers.

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! :)

Hopefuly everyone had a wonderful week!
I guess our summer is over.It already started when my brother got here 3 weeks ago.Many storms,a lot of rain...A LOT,and for the past 2-3 days it started to get cold.That was a quick summer.But i already knew it wouldn't last to long,since we had the most amazing Spring.Means i get to have more time inside to craft! hehe

Ok,my card today is for the new CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge!!

I've used My Creative Time's - Stitched Scallop Heart Die Set and Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies,to die cut the pretty hearts on my top layer.I colored them with Distress Inks.
And the beautiful Hummingbird is from Create a Smile's Jungle Fever Stamp Set! Colored it with Twin Touch Markers.

My Creative Time - Color Challenge

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!!
Hope everyone had a great week so far!!

I already miss my brother like crazy...but glad he made it home safe yesterday!!

Ok,for today i got a card i made for the latest My Creative Time Color Challenge!!
Love these colors together!!

The only color i didn't use,was the dark blue.I couldn't make it work on my card for some reason!!
I water colored the background.I started without knowing what kind of stamps i would use.The longer i looked at the piece,i thought it pretty much looked like an ocean or so! So i used My Creative Time's Surf's Up Stamp and Die Set.The stitched banner comes from My Creative Time's Chocolate Kisses Stamp and Die Set.
I just got the Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock and i LOVE it!! It really is the best out there.At least better than the ones i used before!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Saturday!! :)

I hope you are having a great weekend so far!!
Mine is great so far!!

My brother went to a friend today,to tell him goodbye before he leaves on Tuesday,so i took these few hours to create a card! :)

My card is for the latest CAS(E) this Sketch and Tag You're it Challenges!! They teamed up for this Sketch Challenge!! Here comes the awesome Sketch:

My card turned out to be very...very similar to the Sketch.Even the colors...which i didn't even noticed first!! :) Oh well... ;)
I picked up a few of the My favorite Things Hybrid Inks.Love these inks.So i used them on my card,for the stripes on the left and the hearts and "happy"!
I stamped the stripes on the left and on the right side of my tag using Clearly Besotted's Basic Stripes.
The stamped hearts,sentiment and word die come from My Creative Time's Happy Thoughts Set.
The Tag ( My Creative Time - Tag Dies ) is acutaly a little larger,but i cut it out to be smaller by partial die cutting. The stitched Heart Layering Dies and stitched Restroom peeps Dies are also from My Creative Time! And of course i had to add some MME - Enamel Dots and Wink of Stella on the word die!! :)

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!
