Christmas Cards in Mass Production

Made with Silhouette Cameo. The trees can be hanged on the tree and each has a stamped sentiment on the back and stars inside.

Can You Spot It?

It's not easy even to sit down in the last days before my due date, so this one might be my last card for a little while. However, one of my friends' had her baby girl very recently, which means I have to send her a cute card. And PaperSmooches current Picture Perfect Challenge gave a great opportunity for this.

Can you spot the little elephant on yellow background below on the shelf? :-) Now that's where my elephants came from! Hopefully, you can spot also the other elements of the photo on my card, like the zigzag pattern, the yellow, aqua and white colours etc.

Now thanks for "inspecting" (hehe) my card and have a nice week!

IN[K}SPIRE_me #199

I needed a quick and simple card for my brother's birthday and the newest sketch from the IN[K}SPIRE_me Challenge #199 provided a great opportunity for that. I wasn't sure about the three little hearts at first, but in the end I didn't think it made it girly or anything, so I'm glad I stamped them there. :-) Oh and I'm still in love with the cork stars from Scrapfellow and these Studio Calico - Sundrifter patterned papers.

Mother's Day Card 2

Yes, I'm a bit behind with posting my mother's day cards, but going on maternity leave doesn't mean you have all the time of the world for yourself. :-)) I have one more to post and then I'm back to regular birthday cards, currently working on a sea-themed one.

Challenge: InkSpire_me #198

Mother Day's Card 1

This card went to my granny for last Sunday. Hopefully, it survives the post in this form.
The leaf stamp in distress ink is from PaperSmooches, the sentiment embossed on vellum is from Scrapfellow.

A Springy Birthday Card

Challenge: Simon Says Stamp - Spring Pinterest Inspiration

Cheerful Colours With Some Recycling

This card was inspired by this awesomeness of Debby Hughes. Still struggling with the lights of winter, but I really like these very well coordinating patterned papers and shade of distress ink. Not to mention the ribbon, which I accidentally found in my stash after organizing the left-overs from the wrapping papers of my birthday gifts. :-)

Have a Heart

This is my very first attempt with my first sewing machine (got it from my faboulous husband and superb parents).

Quick round-up

From the cards I didn't manage to send out this year due to a long-lasting cold.

ric#72 - Hervé Léger

You gotta love the orange colours of autumn. And this dress at RIC's 72nd challenge shows them off perfectly.

So I thought of doing the same:

By the way, it's a thank you card and it has no sentiment outside because you could see it through the vellum leaf, which for personal reasons hasn't been photographed. :-)

Some Sparkles For a Birthday

This card matches its recepients: a playful, bright, brilliant mom and teacher and her brilliant little boy.
(And I love her original American chocolate chip cookie recipe!)

I'm also entering this card into Virginia's View Challenge #9 - All Things Metallic.

Xmas card 2014 #2

This is from the piece where the reindeer came from in my previous post. :) It's really simple, I just put some stickles on certain bulbs of the Christmas trees to make the background more interesting.

Then again, I'm entering this card into Virginia's View Challenge #9 - All Things Metallic.
And I'm not done yet! :-)

I'm also entering this into ric#71 - In Memory of Oscar de la Renta challenge with this dress.

Xmas 2014 #1

The title says it all. :-) 

A big thank you to Scrapfellow for the deer motif. You'll see him around.

CASEing The Fantabolous Debby Hughes

OK, I envy the brain of the above mentioned lady and I so wanted to case one of her masterpieces during the month she's the muse of CASE Study. So this is what I came up with for the currents CASE Study Challenge #208.

It's very obvious that this is not an apple. Although I also have some apple chipboards in my stash, it just didn't fit. So I decided to go with the thought of showing you the fading shades of the Indian summer (=autumn) and went with my current favourite colours. By the way, it's a notebook we got at the European Parliament when we went for a visit 2 years ago but I had to personalize it for my own sake. LOL

Hope you like it. :-)

Csabi's Album

In my previous post I promised to show you the matching album I'd made for our little godson's 1st birthday... well, practically I gave it to his mother but I was sure he'd also appreciate it a few years later. :-)

He is so, sooooo cute! I really didn't need to embellish these little pages any more.

I got the album itself as a gift from Scrapfellow. If I remember correctly, I bought the enamel dots, the brown alphabet and patterned papers from them, too. The little detail stamps are from various Lawn Fawn and PaperSmooches sets. I painted the back page with some Martha Stewart acrylic paint. The blue foam letters are from Müller. :-)

And since it's full of patterned papers, I'm linking this one to Virginia's View Challenge #7, too.
