Simon Says: Anything Goes

For the challange Anything Goes on the 

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Blog

I made this birthday card.

For this card i used:

Floral Trims CMS461

Papillon CMS106

Bold Sayings CMS433

Distress oxide ink

Distress oxide spray Crackeling Campfire

I started stamping with versamark watermark

and gold embossingpowder.

Next I added some distress oxide inks on the glassplate

and by wiping the ink off the plate and on the card.

This is reapeated a few times until satisfied with the color.

When all was dry I added some Crackling Campfire splatters

on the card.

I used the sewing machine to make the border on the card.

Also some gold thread underneath the birthday sentiment.

The sentiment is also with gold embossing powder

and added the same colors as the background.

Matching envelop for sending out the card.

Thank you for looking and

have a caffinated creative weekend!

 

Simon Says: Things with Wings

Another fun challenge on the 

Simon Says Wednesday Blog:

Things with Wings.

Here my finished card with butterflies by Tim Holtz.

Here I displayed all the materials I used:

distress oxide  inks

stencils

cling stamp: Papillon CMS106

I started with a background I had lying around made in direct

to paper technique. I used my stamping platform, because 

I wanted to stamp several colors

Here you see the first layer of butterflies.

I also stamped them on a seperate piece to cut out

and add later on with foam tape.

I added the big script stamp and next used two

different stencils to finish off the card.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative caffinated day!

 

Simon Says: Spring and/or Easter

 

Another challenge card, this time for the 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog.

The theme is Spring and/or Easter.

This time it is a Spring birthday card.

Outside the bulbs are popping up and the birds sing their song.

I found some lovely bird design paper in my $$ store and

used it for this card in combination with 

Michael Strong's small hummingbird clingmount stamp.

I made this gatefold card. The squares on top of the card

open like a lock. One is fastened on the right side

and the other on the left side of the card.

This is the inside and here you see that on both sides there is a square.

The sentiment i used on the front and on the inside is from

Tim Holtz Crazy Talk CMS236.

This is how the cards stands and you can see how the lock works.

The little hummingbirds are embossed in white or gold

and colored with pencil.

Thank you for looking

and I hope you have a caffinated creative day!

Simon Says: Tag it!

Here I am with another card for Simon Says Stamp.

This time it is for the 

Wednesday Challenge

Tag it

and I also combined it with the 

Celebrate Spring 

    challenge on Instagram.   

For my card I used a #8 tag and colored it with

different green distress inks.

Next i die cut the honeycomb and used the same

distress colors a little on the honeycomb diecut.

Then I used stamps by Michael Strong

(the tulip and the bee) and colored the tulip with 

pencil on the kraft paper.

The sentiment is from Small Tag stickers from

Tim Holtz idea-ology.

Here is the finished tag.

The inspiration for this tag came when 

I saw the first tulip in my garden. 

Now I know for sure Spring is around the corner

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
