I love dad

Hello everybody! It's time for the new release at The Greeting Farm. Over the next couple of days the DT will be showing their creations with newly released stamps and dies. Today we are showcasing the I love dad set. 

I don't know about you, but I'm always struggling with male cards. But I just love this set. These stamps are very versatile and as there are so many different ones, it's really easy to make something.

I decided to make a CAS card. Isn't this golf cart awesome? And I just love that "arrow" stamp to create the border. So much fun. I'll definitely be using that one a lot. This stamp set comes with matching dies, which is a big time saver. Do you imagine having to cut this golf cart out by hand? Goodness, it would probably take me forever! 

Hop over to the TGF blog and check out what my teamies made with this set. You won't be sorry, I promise. :)

Have a great day! xx

Dreams do come true

Hello my crafty friends! It's my turn again to share something on The greeting farm blog. This time I decided to make a CAS card. I like CAS look, but making a CAS card is a whole other story. It usually takes me forever to make a CAS card. I got inspiration for my card here. I liked how that lady put things together and the effect she achieved with texture paste.

I didn't use any DP for this card, just white cardstock. First I made a template for the circle and then I used my homemade texture paste and my new Memory box Textured mesh stencil for the pattern. Around the circle I used some golden glitter glue. As I thought the paper was "too white" I randomly sprinkled some frantage around the circle. In the corners I used golden brads from my stash. That golden rope has been in my stash forever. I think it was part of a chocolate wrapping. I cut the stars out and then covered them with gold glitter glue. Sentiment is a TGF stamp (it's part of the Ever after set) and I embossed it with gold embossing powder.

So much from me today. Have a wonderful day! xx

Animals rule

Hey hey! How are you doing? Is everything fine where you are? I sure hope it is! 

A new challenge just started at The Greeting Farm blog. This month's theme is "Animals rule", so we want to see your cards/projects with animals. What fun! :D I decided to use Magical friends set that was released earlier this year. I also used the matching dies so I didn't have to cut those ponnies out with scissors. What a time saver!

Aren't these ponnies adorable? So stinkin' cute!!! To make this card I used lots of leftover scraps of paper from my stash. To decorate the card I used a pearl trim and gems that I had in my stash and with some ribbons from Crafty ribbons.

I coloured the images with Faber Castell and Giotto pencils. Images are raised on foam pads for some extra dimension.

Have a wonderful day and don't forget to enter our challenge. :)

Hugs! xx

Happiest day of my life - I became a mommy

Hello everybody! This is going to be a very short post. I just wanted to let you know, that today is the day I became a mommy to a sweet little girl. There are no words that could describe how happy and excited I am. It's definitely the happiest day of my life. :)

Hugs! xx

Like a princess

Hey, hey! How are you doing? I hope everything is well with you. :) It's my turn to make something for the TGF blog today and I decided to play with my new Ever after stamp set that I received from my sweet friend - thank you so much girl!!! I didn't find this kit in the store, but there are many other cute stamps you can choose from, so be sure to hop to the store and browse around. I'm sure you'll find quite some things that you *need*. ;)

I decided to colour up Noelle image from the set. She's a cutie, isn't she? A real princess. :) She's coloured with Promarkers and Giotto and Faber Castell pencils. 

I made the whole card in soft pastel colours. I used lots of leftover scraps of paper from my stash.

Flowers, pearls and twine came from my stash as well. Doily is my newest Cheery Lynn die and I just love it. Isn't it beautiful? I think is adds an elegant touch to the finished projects. :) 

Don't forget you still have some time left to play with our current challenge at TGF blog. Hope to see you there! :)

Have a wonderful day! xx

New challenge and new ribbons at Crafty ribbons

Good morning my crafty friends! I hope you are doing well! Today we have a new challenge at Crafty ribbons challenge blog and the theme is "leap", which means we'd like to see something that jumps on your creations - can be a frog, kangaroo ... Put your brain cells to work! ;) Oh, and don't forget to use ribbon on your creation as well!

Before I go on and show you what I made I want to tell you about the new ribbons that just became available at the Crafty ribbons store. They are *awesome*, so be sure to check them out. There are sewing ribbons, travel ribbons, crochet ribbons, patchwork work ribbons ... I'm sure you'll love them all! :D

This has been quite a challenge for me, but then I found this  WOJ image among my stash and thought it would be perfect for this challenge. Plus, additional bonus is that now I already have one Christmas card made for this year. ;)

I used different papers from my stash on this card. And as I've already said, the main image is from WOJ and the sentiment is from LLLC. I cut the sentiment out with Spellbinders' die. Around the sentiment I drew some stitches with my white gel pen. I did the colouring with watercolour pencils. And on girl's sweater and earmuffs I also used some stickles.

The golden stars are sequins that I had in my stash forever and the wooden snowflakes came from my stash as well. In the middle of each snowflake I glueed a golden glittery circle from Docrafts. The brown stripe ribbon is from Crafty ribbons.

I hope you'll come play with us.

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs! xx

A touch of red

Good morning my crafty friends! How are you doing? I hope everything is well with you. Can you believe that January is gone already? I don't know about you, but for me this month just flew by. But I have to say that I am very excited that February is finally here. It means I'll get to see my little baby soon. Can't wait! She's due in the middle of February. :)

But don't worry, I won't start babbling about babies in this post. ;) I'm here to tell you about the new challenge that just started at The Greeting Farm blog. This month we'd like to see a touch of red on you your card, along with any of the cute images from TGF. Valentine's day is just around the corner, so you can make a Valentine's card if you want to, but it's not a must. Just be sure to use some red on your creation, that's all. :)

I had a play with two sets that were part of January release - Dollie with letter and Magical friends. 

Ok, so you can see Dollie, but you are probably wondering where did I use the Magical friends set, right? See the heart background behind Dollie? The heart is a stamp that comes with the Magical Friends set and I just randomly stamped it around on the white cardstock to create the background. :) Other heart papers came from my stash and so did the glittery dots I used in the corners. The heart ribbon is from Crafty ribbons.

I coloured Dollie with Promarkers and Faber Castell pencils. The embossed hearts I used on the card were hand cut from a white cardstock, inked a bit with TH distress ink and embossed with Cuttlebug's embossing folder.

I hope you'll come play with us! :)

Have a wonderful day! xx
