Christmas in blue and green

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all safe and sound :).

Todays card is (again) a Christmas card. This time I used a die-cut sheet and made the image in 3D.

The DP is a Pretty Paper Bloc from Marianne Design and is called Merry Christmas.

I used Nesties under the image.

A closer peek:

The branche is a punch from McGill. The small pointsettias are Marianne Design.

The borderpunch is one of Martha Stewarts great designs.
Inside the sentiment says: Happy Holidays.

As my Mom is still in hospital I will not be posting a lot for I'm driving every other day to her. It takes me 45 min. to get there so my days are filled with driving... but she's my Mom :) and I love her.

I hope I can keep up with all your posts which I will be visiting after closing time(at night!)

HUGS,

LOTV Challenge Here comes Summer

Hi all!!

I've been busy doing some work for the anual evening four-day walking event. It takes as it says 4 evenings but during daytime all the extra work has to be done. I am not complaining, this is something I do for a number of years now.

So on to my card:

The challange at LOTV is: Here comes Summer: This lazy guy is enjoying his deckchair and you can buy it here. The DP is a Pretty Paper Bloc from Marianne Design called: Old Fashioned Nursery. The flowers are also dies from Marianne D., the borderpunch is Martha Stewarts, the pearl adhesives are from Kars.
Here a close up of the image coloured with watercolourpencils:

And a peek at the inside ( had to cut of a piece cause I forgot to take a pic before I put the names in, stupid me! LOL):

Thank you for stopping by!

A new born baby girl

Hi, you must have wondered where I was.... Well, I am still busy creating my own space in the house! A lot of work to be done. More than I imagined, I must say.

This babycard is made with love :). Also made with DP by Marianne Design, a Martha Stewart punch(butterfly) some ribbon and pearls.

The image is a bit of a problem; I know the artist (Annebodil) but I can't find her blog anywhere. Maybe you know her and would you be as kind to tell me? Thank you!

The inside is created with a die by Marianne Design (LR0130) and the DP is also by her. The sentiment is a rubbon which says: Congrats, a daughter.
That's all for now. Have to finish some sanding now, hubby was not content, so I have to do it again....

Thank you for stopping by!! Big hugs,

Pandora's box with WOJ Henry

Hi there,
Sorry it took so long to post again! It has been rather busy around here. We've been to Greece for our holidays. It was fantastic!
So onto this creation: I found the recipe --> here <--, thanks you so much Inge for your tutorial!

I used Henry with heart from Whiff of Joy and coloured him with my watercolourspencils.
The sentiment you can find there too, it is one of a set.

I used Bazzil basics: kraft for the box itself, DP came from here.

The flowers are WOC , while the punch is by Marta Stewart.
The ribbon came of my stash.

I hope you like what you see, cause I enjoyed making this cute box!
Thanks for visiting and I enjoy reading your comments.

Happy Anniversary, Mom!

Hi there, I hope everyone is ok.

The card I'm showing today is made for my mom.

She turned 80 this year!
I used a Martha Stewart borderpunch: Doily Hearts.

The topflower is made with Joy cutting and embosing dies and the brad in the middle is by Joy! Crafts. The flowers at the bottom of this card are made with Marianne Design Creatables, they are more to the point :) and the leafs are included. The DP is also by Marianne Design: Pretty Paper Bloc: Springtime.

The sentiment says Happy Anniversary and was a gift from Marianne Design.

The 3D image is by Mattie Bruine and Stickles finished it of.

I hope you enjoyed your stay at my blog and I hope to see you again!

Whiff of Joy and Red, White, Blue and Orange

A cheerful card this time. Cheerful because of the colours, red, white, blue and orange, the colours of our flag of The Netherlands. The card is made for someone who lives in Australia for a couple of years, she studies in Melbourne. I figured she needed some national cheering up!!

The image is Whiff of Joy, dancing Willow, coloured with watercolourpencils. The DP is Pipoos glitter scrapbookpaper. A bow, some pearls and a brad (balloon) finishes it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Finally a post! Things have been quit busy in my household. 2 extra cats, they are adorable if they are asleep, lol.
On to this card: It's my first attempt to an easel card. I think I will make more of these. I think I have grown an addiction to easel cards, :).
I've used the Pretty PaperBloc named Springtime by Marianne Design.
It looks as if I've used 2 different papers, but it is only one!

I made the little swirls myself.
Here is a closer look, I coloured with my favorite watercolourpencils and waterbrush:
