Holiday hugs

Hello lovlies. How are you doing? 

The other day when I was writing Christmas cards my lil one came around and asked me which of those cards is for her. I explained to her that all of those cards are for our friends and family members. She looked me with those big eyes and said: "But they are so pretty. I want one too." So I promised her that I will make another card just for her so she can display it in her bedroom. She wasn't too keen about this idea, because she knew this means she would have to wait a couple of days for her card, but when I told her she could choose the image herself she agreed. :) She chose the cute snowman stamp from Stamping Bella. I also love this snowman. I thin it's very cute and I feel like he has his hands up in the air like this because he wants to give everybody a hug. :D

My lil one loves pink (who would have thought, right?! :P) so I wanted to make a card in pink tones, but I realized I don't have any pink dp that would be suitable for a Christmas card. *ooops* So I changed my plan and went for purple and torquise colour combination. And I added some yellow(ish) gold snowflakes for that extra splash of colours. The lil missy was happy with the card, which is most important.

Papers are from my stash and so are all the embellishments. I coloured the image with polychromos and added some diamond stickles on the white parts of the hat.

When I showed my daughter this card her first reaction was "wow", and then immediately followed this question: "Where are the hearts?" I had an "ummmmm" moment for a couple of seconds, because hearts were not part of the original request. Luckily I used the La La Land snowflakes (my favourite snowflake dies!) on this card and they have small heart shaped holes in them. So I showed those to my daughter and luckily she was happy with that. Now this card is displayed on a shelf in her bedroom. 

As this is my last post before Christmas, let me wish you a merry Christmas. May it be filled with love and laughter despite the strange time we are in right now. I hope you will get to spend it with your loved ones. Hugs! xx

Hi everybody! How are you? I've been busy baking in the last couple of days, but now I will be able to rest a bit.

We are already half-way throught the current challenge at The sketchy challenges blog. This month we want to see your creations based on this sketch.

Here's the card I made...

I made the stripes with golden glittery washi tape and then I just added a layer of beautiful DCWV patterned paper. I've had the big flower in my stash for quite a while and I thought it would look well on the card. To decorate the card I also used some golden stamens and white berries. 

I hope you will come play with us.
Have a beautiful day! xx

It's twins

Heya! How are you doing? I've had pretty intense week so far. So much has been going on... On top of everything I had an accident the other day and now I can't craft. Boohoo! With holidays fast approaching this definitely isn't something I need, especially since I still need to make maaaaany more Christmas cards to send to my friends and family members. How are you doing with your Christmas cards? All done yet? Or haven't even started? Or maybe you are half-way through? Well, not matter how far alon are you (or even if you haven't started yet), you still have some time to play with your Christmas supplies. ;)

The card I am about to show you is not Christmas though. It's acutually a baby card. :) One of my friends gave birth to twins and I made this card for her.

She had two boys, so I chose greenish and yellow tones on my card. I used papers from Me to you and some leftover paper scraps from my stash. For the "frame" I used washi tape. I covered a piece of white cardstock with washi tape and then just used rectangle dies to get the shape I wanted. 

Clearly besotted has this adorable stamp set called "Hot stuff" and I thought these cute dragons from the set were perfect for my card. And what's even better, there are sentiments in the stamp set that are perfect for when someone gives birth to twins. At first I wanted to use "double trouble" (naughty, I know lol), but I changed my mind and used "double the joy" instead.

To decorate the card I used some pearls, sequins, ribbon, gems.

That's it from me for today. Have a wonderful day! xx
