Happy Monday!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!! :)
Ours was ok,as always!! We are pretty busy here right now,since we are remodeling our kids's rooms!! We still have quite some work ahead of us,but it will be worth it!! I am more excidet about their new rooms,as the girls are!! hehe

Today it's Made in Minutes over at My Creative Time!!

My card took me 17:46 minutes!!

Ok,i started by die cutting the stitched panel and flower.I then stamped the flower and triangles and gold heat embossed both of it! I than used Spun Sugar,Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio to watercolor my background and Spun Sugar,Mowed Lawn and Spiced Marmelade to color my flower!
At the end i added the sentiment and a little bow to the flower!!

Freshly Made Sketches #179

Hello everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! :)

Welcome to a new Challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches!!
Our Sketch this week is brought to you by the amazing talented Amy O'Neill!! Have i already mentioned that she is my personal queen of colors?! I did,but i'll say it again!! :)

 I've used one of my new favorite Set...Tweet Me and Tweet Me Dies from My Creative Time! I just adore these cute little birdies!!
I stared by die cutting the 3x4 stitched journal die ( My Creative Time ) out of AC woodgrain cardstock,which i sponged with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink.Than i die cut a circle ( Bunch of Fun Circle Dies - My Creative Time ) out of Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and watercolored it with cracked pistachio and spiced marmalade!
As my daughter looked at it,she was like "Mom,this looks like a Globe"! I didn't even noticed this...but after she told,i actualy liked the idea of the Globe.Since i send all cards to my family in the USA...across the ocean! :) Let's just pretend i knew what i was doing!! hehe
The banner was cut with My Creative Time's Vintage Stitched Label Dies.

Hello everyone,

Happy Tuesday!!
I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and a great start in to the new week?!!

One more day,and my girls get off school for Spring Holidays!! I hope the weather will get better,so we get to do things in those 3 weeks!! Right now,even though the sun is shining...it's freezing cold!! :/

Ok,now on to Stamp/Die of the month over at My Creative Time!
It's the Stitched Heart Layering Dies!!
Maybe some of you remember the card i made on March 3rd,with the Die of the Month?
I made a stencil and sponged the hearts on my background using different Distress Inks.

This is my third and last post for today!! Please scroll down for My Creative Time's 3rd Sneak Peek and the new The Card Concept Challenge!!

And here we are,with a new Challenge at Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!!
Your host this week,is the amazing and SO nice Narelle Farrugia!! She rocks flower stamps...i am not sure how she does it,but give her any kind of Flower Stamps and she'll make them shine on her creations!!! I LOVE her Sketch this week!!

This card only took me a half hour or so!! Not only was the Sketch a HUGE inspiration but also this new Sunburst Stamp Set from Clearly Besotted!! If you don't own it by now...you'll have to get it!! I am not on their Team or get money for enabling everyone ;), but i am in LOVE with these Stamps! So,i am sure you will see me using this Set many times in the Future!! The stripes on the sides are Clearly Besotted's Diagonal Stripes! I used Hero Arts Charcoal for the stripes, the sunburst Stamp in the middle, sentiment, and My Favorite Things Lush Lagoon,Persimmon and Peach Bellini Hybrid Inks for the rest!The sentiment is from Paper Smooches 's Word Salad.The dotted circle and stitched banner are from My Creative Time's Bunch of Fun Circle Dies and 4x4 Journal Die + More.The banner is actual a arrow,i just turned it around and used the back side for the banner shape!

The Card Concept #31

Hello everyone,

This is my second post for today! Please scroll down for MCT's 3rd Sneak Peek!!

Welcome to a new The Card Concept Challenge!!!
LOVE our new Inspiration!! Who doesn't love cupcakes?! ;)

Ok,there is a little change...i am no longer a Clean and Graphic showcaser and went back to Freestyle Collage!! The very sweet and amazing Lea Lawson was SO nice and switched with me!! Lea is an amazing crafter,i love everything she does and i know that she will rock the Clean and Graphic Style!!
I pretty much sucked ( sorry ;) ),but i did!! When i started,i thought...ok,i'de like to try as much as possible...stretching my own creativity! BUT,i just couldn't do it!! I did NOT like one of the cards that i made,and each one was a huge Challenge for me and cost me many....many white Cardstock,since it took me many,many tries until i thought the card was somehow ok to use for the Challenges!!
I just need my layers,i need 3D foam on my cards,right now i am in love to watercolor everything i get between my fingers and so on! So clean and graphic just was not my thing!! But,at least i tried it! So everyone who rocks that style...Hats off!!! And Thank you again Lea!!!

I started by cutting two panels with MCT's 3x4 stitched journal die! I stamped the little cupcakes from Cleary Besotted's Tasty Treats on the top layer,clear heat embossed them and watercolored ontop with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.I used the same ink for the bottom panel and on the topping of my cupcakes.I colored the bottom of my cupcakes with Tea Dye Distress Ink.
The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted's Super Cool Stamp Set!!

Please check out The Card Concept Blog and look at all of the amazing creations from the Team!!

I hope you'll get to join us!!

Hello everyone,

Happy Tuesday!!! :)

Today,it's "My Favorite Stamp/Die of the Month" over at My Creative Time!!

This month it's Stitched Heart Layering Dies!! I love...love these dies and i think these are my most used dies ever!!

I took these 3 hearts and made my own stencil out of Cardstock.

Than i sponged the hearts using Picked Rasberry, Festive Berries and Ripe Persimmon Distress Inks on my background.I also took some Heidi Swapp White Colorshine and sprayed it ontop of the hearts! I used some of the hearts that i had die cut for the stencil and sponged them with the same distress inks and poped them up on my card.
The sentiment is from MCT's Puffy Hearts Just For You!!

Sorry for the poor quality,it was already dark outside when i finished this card!
