Double


The beauty of buying more then one sheet of the same decoupage is that you can use a simple bell like this twice on a card, giving it so much more impact!! Yes, I love this card!

This is a card I really really love. The gold with the red and black, it's just stunning! I created a panel card for my 3 wise men, and I think they really like beeing onthere :)

My aunt asked me about more pissibilities with this angel die she has. Putting my "Sue Wilson" thinking cap on, I cut the angel twice, cut her head and wings off, and put an oval over the middle! What a fun card :)

Hunkydory blockbuster 001


I did it, after days and days of yessing and no-ing I gave in and bought this years Hunkydory Christmas Blockbuster. When it arrived 3 days later I could not believe my eyes. Everything is so so stunning, the quality is just amazing! I warn you now, many many many hunkydorycards are to follow on my blog as from today!!

On the first toppersheet that I used were these 2 little toppers that were too small to fill a card with, but too pretty to just plunk them on anotherone just to fill it, so I cut out some Marianne design bauble dies and stuck them onthere :)

Guilding Flakes


We have seen Sue Wilson do this technique on Create and Craft lots of times, but I had never really tried it properly. At my mum's house I got the self adhesive sheets, cut out this really pretty frame, and then guilded the whole lot! It's so much fun to do, and what a stunning result!!

50


Our nextdoor neighboor asked me if I could make a 50th birthday card for Debbie. I think I made her a very nice and special card, and I got word back that she really liked it!

Simple christmas

 
This decoupage from Le Suh is so stunning on it's own that it doesn't need a whole lot else. A wonderfull, simple Christmas card.

2 squares


I did bring some of my own dies to my mum's house, the ones she did not have from the "new" collection. One of them is a lovely square. On this card I cut it out twice and created an almost snowflake like .. eehhh ... circle-thing ... hahaha!!!

order


Remember the toadstool card from 2 days ago? Well I made that one for a friend of mine, as she asked for 2 birthday cards. One for her mum (which was the toadstool card) and another for her dad. He likes trees and mountains, so it was an easy card to make :)

3D stamp


My aunt had bought this 3D stamp, and brought it to my mum's to use. For a couple of days I had been looking at it, thinking  hmmmm ... what to do with that?? I then stamped it with versamark and used Tinsel embossingpowder, and when it was all cus out and layerd it became this wonderfull focalpoint for the card!!

Barbara Grey


I always love watching Barbara Grey on Create and Craft, but strangely enough I have never watched her "in the classroom" shows, untill last month. She was doing this amazing card with toadstools and rabbits etc. Now I do not own the Clarity Stamps that she used, but I did have a toadstool stamp and a rabbit stamp, and so recreated the card! I am so pleased with this card!

Oval


As I wrote in my previous post, this is an old-time fave. I loved it from the day I got it, and I think I will always always always love it hahaha!! This is my fave card I made at my mum's. It's the shape, the layout, the colors. All of it just worked!! And good old trusty Prima-Flowers got used again too!

Flat


When at my mum I always try and do a fun "workshop" for my mum and Aunt. This time it was a pop-up project with one of my old-time fave oval dies! After the "workshop" I wanted to see what a card would look like with the same set-up but flat, and this is the result! I love it!!!

New die and new ink!


This is one of the new dies I bought at the craftshop near my mum! Actually, it's 2 dies, also the oval one! And my mum bought this new distress ink, which is a very very very bright pink!! Thank you for letting my try out your new ink mum!

simple!


Sometimes a card does not need a lot! This new Joy!-die is sooooooo lovely, with the little flowers on it!! Also, the little flowers on their own are so much fun to use!

Le Suh


One of the fun things for us, but absolute bad things for my purse, is going to the craftshop nearby my mum's house. In a 2-week holiday we visit the shop at least 3 times hahaha!! This time, besides the lovely dies I bought, I found thsese amazing Le Suh christmas decoupage!! They are so so lovely, the picture does not do them any justice! They do take a while to cut out though hahaha :)

At my mum's


I try to go and visit my family twice a year. I always stay at my mum's house and we do lots and lots of crafting together, and with my Aunt Marij! If I am not mistaken, I made 21 cards this time round at my mum's house. I get to use all her lovely dies that I don't (yet) have! This is one of those dies. What a lovely corner!!!

for a youngman


I always find it difficult to make cards for a man, and a young man is even worse. Luckily for me, Michael (who the card was for) loves the two kittens/cats his mum has adopted (she got one kitten I found wandering the streets beeing really skinny, poor thing!) and so I made him this kitty card!! He liked it as well :)
