C&C

After watching a create and craft show, I saw this card idea and wanted to recreate it. As it turned out, it's one of those cards that is ok, but I am not jumping for joy over it.

A Sue Wilson card

As I said in my previous post, Sue Wilson is such an amazing crafter/card maker!! Her ideas are so good, it's unbelievable! And sometimes, just sometimes, it's just wonderfull to recreate one of her cards, with a little idea of my own.

I used one side of my embossibility, created a border out of 2 borders, and used some shapes to create a snowflake idea! Isn't it pretty and simple??

embossibility

Sometimes it's not a good thing to watch create and craft, and especially Sue Wilson and her Spellbinders shows.
She is always using embossibilities. and it looks so stunning! So I gave in, and bought one myself, and I love it!!

It's a very simple card, but I love the colors together!!

Little boys birthday

My Ian's sister asked if I could make a card for her grandsons upcoming birthday. He was going to be 5, and what do you make for a 5 year old boy?
So I got my trusty cricut out, my gypsy and looked through my A Child's Year cartridge, and found this cowboy! perfect!!!

I used a Marianne Design die, that is supposed to be icycles, cut it out of green and turned it upside down to create grass! I olso used one of the new dies from my new spellbinders set (ironworks) which made the perfect border!

A long time ago I saw this stampset in Hobbycraft (my least favourite hobby shop) but found it really expensive. Then last christmas there was a 70% discount on it, and I could not resist buying the stampset! Isn't it the cutest little sentiment?

Staf Wesenbeek

A few weeks back Anita from my craftclub brought a cardmaking kit she had bought somewhere. It was a Staf Wesenbeek set, and it looked really nice! Me beeing me, I don't like buying kits that often (although I sometimes do, just to get a template!), but I did wanna recreate the cardshape. And so I did!

Isn't it pretty with the white and pink? I love the color combination. Too bad you can't really see how the card works on the picture.

shrink plastic

I love shrink plastic ... I love the magic of it .... I could do it all day long and still make a little happy dance after hours, everytime something shrinks!

I made a boxcard (that will fold flat in an envelope!) and cut a lovely diecut out of shrink plastic to hang at the front!

Ofcourse it's not very clear to see on this picture as I used a seethrough shrink plastic, but it shows you the boxcard in it's full!! And thanks to Sue Wilson, and her always ongoing ideas and insparation when it comes to spellbinders dies, I used a cornerdie to create some interrest to the sides of the box!

And here a better picture of the shrink plastic die! I also stamped on it with stazon before I shrunk the whole thing! Mind you though, it was very tricky to get this cut, and most of the little bits I had to handcut afterwards with a knife! So it wasn't just as easy as it looks :)

see through

Remember the card I posted a few weeks ago, the one with the 2 holes cut into the sides? Well, this card is the same idea, only bigger holes hahaha!! 

The front of the card, so you can see the different layers of the Marianne Design die that I used! Also, I love that christmas/pointsetta corner stamp!

And here you see the 2 sides with the big holes in it!! They call it appetures :)
