One for the boys

Hi everyone, Two days ago I was at Lein's and this is the other project I made. This was the one that took me the longest. The background has a lot of layers (even though you may not see it... LOL). But most of the time is taken by the creative process itself. I find it...

World Traveler

Hi everyone,

Here in the Netherlands it's finally beautiful weather, so I want to spend as much time as possible outside and enjoy it, because it usually doesn't last long. So crafting gets a little lower on the priorities list for now. But today I stayed inside to make a London Shabby Chic card. I enjoyed making it.

With this card I participate with:

• Our Creative Corner : Shabby Chic Theme
• Simon Says Stamp and Show: Summer Holiday

Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!

Hugs,
Sandra

Birthday Boy

Hi everyone,

Today I made a card for my best friend Xander. His birthday is next weekend. Unfortunately, I don't see him as much the last couple of years. He is in the army and is located somewhere else in the country. He is only home on weekends and has a very busy schedule then. We used to have spaghetti nights every Monday and we watched a movie or some series (Heroes, Lost, Eli Stone). That was our thing for many years. Once in a while we have a spaghetti night and that's always very cool.

This card is like my other manly card, but this time a little less color. I bought a new punch, a zigzag one. I am super happy with it.

With this card, I participate with the following two challenges:

• Use it Tuesday: Use two (jute rope and craft tape)
• Creative Craft Challenges 2: Distressed (torn edges and distressed edges)

Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!

Hugs,
Sandra

For you

Hi everyone, Yesterday I was over at Lein's for a short crafty afternoon. I've only colored in this stamp. I color very slow, because I'm not so good at it, and I so wanna be. I don't color with my copics very often, and I still have to get the feeling of what colors goes well...

It's my brothers birthday

Hi everyone, Today I made ​​a card for my brother. Next week he will be 37. And of course I can not go to his birthday without a handmade card. I find it very difficult to make a masculine card. It's not a typical male card. When I think about a male card, it has dark colors....

A CAS card

Hi everyone,

What is a CAS (Clean and Simple) card difficult to make! I am not very good at it, I know that now. I seriously did 4 or 5 attempts to get to this one. I'm happy with the result. The other attempts just weren't it. First I wanted to make something with diffusers, but that did not really worked out. I have messed up 3 cards because the diffuser kept moving (they look very damaged after only using it once ... does anyone have used the diffusers and can tell me if that's supposed to happen?) And the design didn't came together. Then I tried stamping with Distress Markers, that was not a success either, it was too light and it didn't look good. It's a creative journey, as they say. With this card, I participate with Dutch Card Lovers.

 

Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!

Hugs,
Sandra
