Autumn girl

Hiya crafty friends!!!

Around start of this month I coloured cute image created by Julia Spiri with  girl sitting on a mushroom, just perfect for nice Autumn birthday card and today decided that is time to make one :)

I had some proper thinking about which papers should I use for this project and, believe it or not, I dig deep in my paper box :)

I choose 2 patterned papers and use the same layout as on my Christmas card with gnomes few posts ago: http://tobicards.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/i-love-gnomes.html.

You can find this cutie pie here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/230477784/digital-stamps-girl-stamps-mushroom-digi?ref=shop_home_active_92.

For finishing touches I distressed and shaded sentiment and added few gems to my card.

I want to enter this little project to:
 Challenge #26 at: http://worldwideopendesignteamchallenge.blogspot.co.uk
and
September Challenge at: http://cck-digitalstamps-challenge.blogspot.co.uk.

That's all for today!

Till next post!!!

Little Carmen

Hiya Crafties!

Today I spend most of time at home waiting for delivery... not nice if you have no idea what time you can expect it...

So I decided to use this time to make some cards 😊. I had few 'Little Carmen' images from Julia Spiri already coloured and waiting, so...

I checked my stash for some nice papers, cut them, stick them with double sided type and..

Here you go!

Green beauty ;)

Pink Flamenco :)

Red Dancing Queen :)

If you like this image you can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/487513101/digital-stamps-flamenco-sevillana?ref=shop_home_active_77.

For sentiment I used one of clear stamps from Inkadinkado set I received as a gift from friends from Canada :)

I hope you like my little flamenco dancers :)

Till next post friends!!!

Little bit of Spring :)

Spring :)

We still have few weeks of this nice season of the year in a front of us. We all definitely love when sun is shining more often and when we can forgot about winter heavy clothes...

So why not use all these warm springy colours on our cards my dear cardmaking friends? All these greens, yellows, oranges, etc :)

My 'springy' makes :)

Butterfly Princess from Conie Fong Art & Design, you can find this cute image and many more here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ConieFongArt.

Flower Girl from Julia Spiri, you can find this beauty and many others here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/JuliaSpiri

Both images are coloured with pencils. Colours used: 3 shades of yellow, 2 shades of green, 2 shades of orange, ivory, peach, light brown and terracota. On both cards I used green gems and white/green checked ribbon.

Both cards are simple, with just few layers, nothing too fancy - I like to make my cards this way :)

What do you think about these two?

Do you like them?

Till next post friends!

Few more Christmas cards

I know is Christmas Day, but we were in preps for new member of our little family (http://tobisiaslilthing.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/meet-tula.html).

During last week before Christmas I made few more cards (still not enough to give away as I planned tho).

Gosh.. didn't write for a while... I was busy with making cards, looking for gifts, wrapping them etc. So typical around Christmas time :)

Have much more cards done and even more images already coloured and awaiting for being centre pieces of new cards, but just don't want to overload this short post :)

Have a great time friends!

Till next post!

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!

In love with digi stamps :)

For long, long time I was kind of traditionalist - stamps, yes, but only rubber or silicone. Digi stamps were away from 'my circle' :). Possibly because of lack of printer :).

All changed when I joined Kit and Clowder FB group. What a bunch of nice people and great card makers!
So if you are new in cardmaking or want to develop your skills or just have a chance to meet card making addicts from around the world join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/kitandclowder. Main person in group - Alyce - who created this group (over 12k members so far) is amazing girl and teacher for lots of us. She's Australian and today is her big day - she's a bride! So... we all are wishing her and Jon all the best!

To be honest I still don't have a printer :) but this not stopping me anymore :).

My first cards with digi stamps were made during colouring event sponsored by Saga Stamps https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SagaStamps.

Kind of romantic red and greyish/black combo

Green and orange :)

Blue with yellow - my fave combo :)

Then I used digi image to make card for friendship card swap in the group :)

Just love Marina Fedotova illustrations - I have few silicone stamps with her images from Scrapberry's - http://scrapberrys.com/category/clear_stamps/.

Other cute images I was playing with lately:

Britney give Thanks from Stamp Anniething: http://stampanniething.com/

Little Carmen - gift for Clowdies from Julia Spiri

Beautiful geisha with cherry blossom I found in Julia's shop: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JuliaSpiri.

Now I'm just learning more and more about other cute digi stamps and finding more and more gorgeous images created by very talented people from around the world who are connected with our big cardmaking group.
