Perk up

Hello my crafty friends! How are you doing? I hope everything is fine with you. I've been rather busy with my little one, but I managed to squeeze in a little bit of crafting time as well. And today I want to show you one of the cards I made. I played with some cute TGF stamps and my washi tapes again and here's what I came up with - a bright and fun summer card.

I used 2 different stamps sets from TGF to make this card - Perk up and For you Anya. Colouring was done with Promarkers and pencils. While I was making this card I came to the conclusion that I need to invest in rectangle dies. What a pain it was to cut out this "window". *sigh* To decorate the card I used some sequins. Embossing was done with Cuttlebug's folder. I didn't use any design paper, just 2 different washi tapes.

I raised the stamped images on foam pads for some extra dimension.

So much from me today. See you again soon. :)

Hugs! xx

2 new stamps at TGF

Hello my crafty friends! How are you enjoying your weekend? Have you managed to do any crafting? I am trying to do a little bit of crafting when I have a couple of free minutes. Those are still rare, but they are there. ;)

Two new stamps are being released at The Greeting Farm today.

First one is called "Cutesy Anya" and is - as you can tell by the name - very cute. I had lots of fun playing with it. Below is the card I made with this image.

I told you she's a cutie pie. ;) I used different papers from my stash on this card and very little embellishments (just those heart and flower pearls) because I wanted the image to stand out. 

I paper pieced Anya's dress and shoes and the rest of the image was coloured with Promarkers and pencils. The oval behind Anya was embossed with Crafts-too embossing folder.

I'd like to enter this card to the following challenges:
Little Miss Muffet: Anything goes
The ribbon girl: AG as long as it's a card
Stamping sensations: One for the girls
Sweet stampin': Paper piecing
Tuesday throwdown: Use your die cuts
Crop stop: Anything goes (from the store: different Spellbinders dies, Crafts too embossing folder))

And the second stamp is For you Anya. That one is just perfect for those upcoming summer days. Here's the card I made with that cutie.

This image is so fun and made me think of summer - beach, sea ... And I thought I would make a card in bright summer colours.

I used lots and lots of leftover scraps of paper from my stash. Flowers are 3D stickers and besides those I also used some gems, pearls and sequins to decorate my card.

I'd like to enter this card to the following challenges:
Penny's paper-crafty challenge blog: Anything goes

Soooo, I know you like those cuties, so what do you think about winning them? ;) Marie is kindly giving one of each of these two stamps away and for your chance to win one of them all you need to do is to leave a comment on the TGF blog. Good luck! :)

I hope you like my today's cards.

Have a wonderful day! Hugs! xx
