Happy Holidays with Penny Black

Hi and welcome to my blog!! Today I want to show you a booklet. My lovely neighbour came to me and said: you will want to make this one too. She showed me her booklet.

I thought WOW, I will defenitly want to try this.
And so here it is:

I used some old, very old papers from MME: Wild Asparagus and (outside) Basic Grey: Bittersweet, some new papers by Marianne Design: Sweet Romance bloc, a new Nestabilitie: Big Scalloped Circles large, swirls by Sizzix, stickles. Images are all by Penny Black: Christmas Critters and Hollyday Critters, outside sentiment is by Marianne Design inside sentiments are all Penny Black.

All stamps are coloured with watercolourpencils.

Looking on top of the booklet, opened completely:

Several peeks inside:

I hope you like it and

if you want to know some measurements please let me know.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas ....

Hi,

Yes, I know I haven't been around lately, sorry!

Here is another Christmas card, I thought it's better to make some Seasoncards now than in November or even later!

The image is Penny Black and so is the sentiment.

And here is a closer look:

The DP is: Basic Grey - Wassail

Martha Stewart Punch: font,

Flowers, brads and ribbon are from stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

Be Merry be Bright

Hello everyone.
Today's card is a Christmas card, yep I made a start with them because, like everybody else, I hate the stress at the end of November.

I inked Henry with Stazon ink, coloured with watercolourpencils and waterbrush.
The DP is Sandylion (very old). Stamped my own backgroundpaper with a large snowflake by differentcolors , The sentiment is by Studio G, liquid pearls by Stickles, rhinestones and some ribbon by Wild Orchid Crafts .

A closer look:

The inside:

I punched 2 snowflakes with my MS punch, cut them to pieces and glued them to the back:

The sentiment at the inside is by Penny Black.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and hope you enjoyed your stay with me.

Hugs,

You are in my heart and thoughts

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:

and an other one:

Hi everyone!

Here is another birthday card.

This time I used a Penny Black stamp. I just love these stamps!

So this is what I came up with :) :

Here is a close up from the flowers I bought at Wild Orchid Crafts, I altered the colour, the big tearose was white! I took my Calligraphy pure pink pen (which I bought ages ago) and coloured it, it took me some time, also put on some Stickles on the edges, and here it is:

And finally here is a peek at the inside of the card:

I am also entering this card for the challange with Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Recipe:
Image: Penny Black - set Wonderful
Sentiments: Penny Black and inside Marianne Design Van Harte( Congrats)
DP: S.E.I.Chocolat
Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts
Punches: Martha Stewart and McGill
Ribbon, Nestabilities and it is all coloured with my watercolourpencils.

I hope you enjoyed your stay at my blog. Have a nice day!

Last Christmas card/cat

Hi,

Finaly an other post. I've been blogging and hopping around, peww that takes a lot of time. I didn't post to everyone, but I saw a lot of creations.

Here is a creation by me, most likely the last of the Christmas cards this year:

The paper is Basic Grey: Eskimo Kisses, the stamps are by Penny Black, some ribbon, the spica clear pen by AtYou.

A closer look at the cat:

This time I used odourless white spirit, instead of my waterbrush. I think it looks better, don't you? The blending is better controlable this way. A whole new kind of colouring for me, never too old to learn new things, lol.



Here is a close-up at the snowflake:

To create this flake I used punches by: Martha Stewart, EK succes, a smaller snowflake punch with no name(sorry) and a Cuttlebug flake, put them all together, some crystal Stickles on, and voila.

Thanks for stopping by.

Penny Black cat!

Hi everyone,

This time I want to show you this cute stamp of Penny Black. I had already seen it on the net, but didn't have the chance to buy it. As I was in Utrecht I saw it again and I thought now it is mine *smile*.

I made my own background with a stamp from a set: Ready to Stamp. It's just one pawprint, I inkted it up with purple from my colourbox. Loved doing that, create your own background I mean.

Close up:

Coloured with my watercolourpencils, using Nestabilities some ribbon, Martha Stewart and a flower.

I did the inside too, but forgot to make a picture, the card has already been sent to another lady who had her birthday.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs

Flowertags with Penny Black

Hi everyone,
My appologies for not posting so long, with good reason though. We were on holiday in Greece. A couple of days after we got back, I got the flu (not the Mexican but the regular *lol*). I still don't feel to good.

About these flowertags nothing much to say, only Penny Black is lovely!


I made this one for my mom.



and I made this one for dear neighbours who needed a bit of cheering up.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to comment on this.
