Sea themed card

I ran out of foam tape while making the very last side (booo), so I had to finish it with mini foam squares, which resulted in some sticking sequins... Anyway,  it was made for my brother's 23rd birthday this Wednesday and since he's all about water, I think this card is perfect. :-) 

Challenges:

Curtain Call - Something Simple

Simon Says - Father's Day / Masculine
Ink(s)pire_me: Challenge 150
bastel-traum.ch - Sommer / Summer

A recycled business card

I was handed this card at a chocolate festival (nom-nom) and it has been sitting in my stash for 2 years. I couldn't wait any longer and wanted to use it at last! And since I missed Virgina's last challenge, I am taking part in the current one, called Stitchin #3.

I pierced the business card with the help of my Dovecraft ruler, pulled out a big needle and voilá. I've also discovered recently that Tchibo has a range of markers that can be painted, just like the distress markers. So to highlight and separate the business card from the white base, I drew a line around it and added some water. I coloured some chipboard ballons, added some glossy accent and stamped a happy birthday sentiment in cup o' joe shadow ink and that was it. I think it became a pretty versatile card that you could give both to a female or a male recipient, as well.

(Sorry for the crappy photos, I was in a hurry in the morning... as usual. :-))

Simple Christmas

Feels too early at shops but not in cardmaking: Christmas. This is one of the first attempts from me for this year.

Challenge: SSS - Christmas/Happy Holiday

Supersecret Card

It's so secret that I'll even hide it after the CAS-Friday Polkadot challenge for this week has expired. :-)

Update: everything's been hidden. Thanks for your nice comments. 

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Random Post

I made these last weekend too. The first one is decorated with an SRM sticker and some distress ink, it used to hold caviar, now I store my tiny googly eyes in it.

Ezeket is múlt hétvégén készítettem. A kis tárolót SRM matricával és egy kis distress tintával díszítettem. Kaviáros üveg volt, most a pici rezgőszemeket tárolom benne. :))

And this one I made after seeing Julie Ebersole's very similar card. I just couldn't resist.
Ezt pedig a fent nevezett blogon láttam, és annyira megtetszett, hogy muszáj volt vmi nagyon hasonlót csinálnom.

Supplies: SRM sticker, green baker's twine from The Twinery, yellow twine from We R Memory Keepers, washi tape, Tsukineko silver ink, star sequins, acetate, red and blue ColorBox pigment inks, Paper Smooches -Alpha-dot stamp set

Have a nice weekend!

Jó hétvégét mindenkinek! :)

Twin Baby Boys

This is my 2nd post today, please scroll down for my shaped card. :)
I was asked by D's sister-in-law to make 2 baby cards for her friends (my first ever order:). I'll show you one of them now, the more tricky one for me. :) First it had to be a masculine card and not only for one baby boy but two! Fortunately, she told me a bit about her friend so I knew I had to work with warmer tones (which I like better too). But somehow the card had to express that it was about twins and I wasn't allowed to write anything on it! I don't have any baby-related stamps but then I remembered I bought some wooden teddy bears for occasions like this half a year ago. Heehee I wanted to put a ribbon on it to 'balance' the card but since it's a masculine card I didn't make a bow. Just glued one end in the inside, the other end on the card and cut a V-shape into it. Hmm, something's missing. Of course, a button! And still I wanted to make an itty-bitty bow on it. LOL But I think it didn't ruin the masculinity of the card at all. :)

I'd like to enter this card into the CAS-Friday - CFC77 and the Lawnscaping - Dust 'Em Off challenge.
