Ahoy mate!

Hiya crafty friends!!!

Today - pirate card with cute image from LOTV called: Walk the plank.

I choose 3 patterned papers for this project. All papers I layered on navy blue cardstock. Also coloured image I layered on the same cardstock.

I was thinking hard what kind of sentiment to use on it and then one thought struck me: 'I have Trodat Printy, why not use it to make my own sentiment?'

And.. that's what I did :) Made my own sentiment :)

What do you think about my new card? Like it?

Till next post!!!

Birthday with LOTV

Hello Friends!

May is a special month.

My son has birthday, my Mum has birthday, my Dad and me - our Namesdays :)

If you are card maker and you love stamping, someone else has birthday in May too - Lili of the Valley! Can you imagine they giving us their beautiful stamps for whole 13 years now? Lots of you possibly think: no way! 13! How we could stamping without these cuties before?!

If you folowing LOTV on FB, you know about their May Challenge: Birthday card!

For my newest card - for LOTV Birthday May challenge I decided to use their beautiful image called: On the garden wall.

I coloured image with pencils (Artist's Loft) and cut it out with Regal Circle Doily from Tonic Studios. I fill my circle with pinkish paper. 

 I layered card base with 3 patterned papers from Dovecraft - Sweet Paris, added light pink ribbon and pinkish wooden flower in right top corner for extra touch. 

For my sentiment I used clear stamp from Sweet Dixie.

I hope you like my shabby chic style birthday card :)

Till next post friends!

Friendship card

Hi Crafties!!!

Today my dears - friendship card.

Sometime ago I played with stamps and kraft cards. After colouring with pencils images looked very nice, but we can say they were waiting a bit to be used 😊.

Today's card centrepiece is cute fairy friends image from Lili of the Valley.

I used kraft card for base and 3 patterned papers for layers.

Result below:

Do you like it?

I do 😊.

Till next post friends!

Card making competition? Why not!

I'm massive reader of cardmaking magazines. Every year they're giving their readers a chance to become part of their DT. So... since 2 years I'm trying my hardest - no luck so far, but I'm not thinking about giving up - oh no!

Last year I sent these 3 cards:

Sentiment as a centrepiece

Flower girl in blue and yellow

Lovely mice :)

They were nice cards, but... I'm not jury member :) And I tried again this year with these 3 (sorry for blurry pics):

Scrapberry's fairy stamp

Pirate girl from Debbi Moore Designs

Little couple from Lili of the Valley.

No luck again, but I'll try again next year :)

I'm practicing my colouring skills, so who knows maybe third time will be lucky for me :) Fingers crossed for that Ladies and Gentlemen please :)

Till next post friends!

Kid at school, so you need more cards :)

I think you know, how funny can be when your child is at nursery/school and he/she is invited for Birthday Party or is a Teacher's day or end of school year. Cards are needed!!!

Dom is artistic soul, but he still need his Mummy when he is invited for party, cause Mummy stamping nicer and she's better with colouring :). Few Dom's creations below:

We had lots of fun with these ladybirds :)

Dom's last Christmas card for nursery teachers - he still loves sticking papers :) but now he also practicing colouring and stamping so... who knows :)

 Card I made for Dom's nursery friend Grace for her birthday last year.

Lily of the Valley boys for his friend Logan :)

Cutie doggy for twins: Jasmine and Jessica :)

Spotlight technique and bear for teachers :)

I'm waiting when Dom will be old enough to teach him all I know about crafting if he still will be interested in it :). Hope he will ;)

This Friday Dom is going for Grace's 5th Birthday - this time we are bit smarter :) We know for sure she's fan of Elsa and Frozen ( she was last year too, but we didn't know :) ). So this year card for her:

My version of Elsa made with Julia Spiri digi stamp: Flower girl.

Hope Grace will like her card and prezzies ;)

That's all for today! Till next post!

Christmas coming!

I know it is only October :)

Believe it or not - Christmas time for card makers starting long time before December!

I start with this year Christmas cards around end of August or even earlier :)

Playing with spotlight technique :)
