Not impressed

So I myself have not had a look at my own cards for a while, and now that I am posting them again on my blog, and I see the pictures, I am not impressed with myself. I am not happy with colors I used, or complete card layouts. I can do much better then this. I don't know, but some of the x-mas cards I posted the last few times, I don't like them. I am not quite sure why, but as soon as my kitchen is done, I am hoping to find my craftyness back and make amazing cards again!!

See, I look at it and think to myself, what a boring card.

Get well soon

A while back, when my mum was here on holiday, my auntie back home was doing something silly. She fell down from something and hurt her arm badly!! It was a silly time to do something like that as well, as she is a crafter too, and my mum had bought all these nice nice craftthings for her, and she could not use them for weeks!!
To ease the pain a bit, I made her a get well soon card :)

Stamped background

When I went to market, I was lucky enough to find a craft magazine at one of the stalls for1,50 which normally would cost something like 4,50. And it had a free stamp with it, a fun swirl! So I used it on a basic piece of card. Stamped with versamark, and used embossingpowder, so the background came to life!

black and white

I really like black and white cards, with a little touch of color. It can be so stylish :)

More guilding flakes

I don't know why, but I have this thing for guilding flakes. They are so nice and shiny and the feel of it ... I could just sit at my crafttable and run my fingers through the tub!

Anyways, I used them on this card :)

It is such an amazing effect when you move the card, and the light catches the guildingflakes :)

Stamped border

I know, it has been a while since I last posted something on my blog. The kids have been going back to school for the last 2 weeks, and I never really craft during summer holidays. And the last week and a half I have been suffering from a synus infection, plus half our kitchen is standing in the living room, as we had a leak and the whole floor had to come out. So I am rusty, and having the shivers, cos I have not crafted in such a long time. Luckily I still have some cards on my hardrive that I have not posted yet, and here is one of them:

I stamped the 2 borders with a Pointsetta stamp, coored them in, did them all loose as well, cut them out to create a little 3D effect. I really like how the border turned out, with the little verse in the middle :)

On this picture you can see better that I cut alongside the stamped borders as well :)
