Hello friends,

Hope you are doing well! I am sharing a shabby/vintage card I created today. For this card I used one of my favourite dies to play with, the brushstroke flowers dies from Tim Holtz. The flowers were coloured with distress sprays and distress inks and then layered on designer paper with mirror tape for dimension. I finished off with a strip of Tim Holtz vintage die cut lace, pearls and a pretty sentiment.  The full list of product details used on the card are at the bottom of my post.

I entered my card in the following challenges:

Hello friends,

Hope you are doing well! I am so excited to share a masculine card today after a few months not entering any challenges. I am still making cards that I sell on craft markets but did not always have the time to upload them on my blog. I hope I can make more time  to enter challenges for the rest of the year. For this card I just added a few layers of background paper and stickers, a bold sentiment as focal point and silhouette die cuts of a gentleman and dog. This card can be a birthday card or will also be good for father’s day.

I entered my card in the following challenges:

The bold sentiment

The silhouette die-cuts

Hello friends,

The 2023 Christmas hustle and bustle is over and I’ve created my first 2024 Christmas card to share with you today. My card is created in the  vintage style. I used white cardstock for the base and a vintage sheet music layer. I added a red die cut bow, leaves, gold twine, small bells and a few gold pearls. To finish off the card I used a gold die cut sentiment.

Hello dear friends,

I am so  happy to be back in blog land after two months of not making any cards. I can tell you, I really missed my crafting time and all my friends in cyber space. Hope you are all doing well. Today I share a fall card to a few challenges. Autumn or fall themed cards are one of my favourites to create. Although my mojo is quite low after such a long time not crafting, I enjoyed making this card.  Maybe the autumn theme was a good choice to start crafting again.

I keep it simple with a striped background layer,  a lovely sentiment and a die cut bicycle. The warm, splendid colours of the autumn leaves are created by painting a few scraps of papers with my watercolour paints and then die cut the leaves with different dies. The browns, oranges, reds and yellows are so warm and earthy and give such a rustic feel to the whole scene.

I entered my card in the following challenges:
