Birthday card for a 1 year old

 Good day

This is just a quick post of a card that I made for a 1 year old. This is a lovely image of All Dressed Up called See Saw. With the delicate flowers on the image and the little girl with her wellies, it sure looks as if she is enjoying the first days of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The paper is from my stash and is so subtle, so I stayed in the subtle shades with the colouring too. I added ribbon, twine and some rhinestones as finishing touch.

Daring Cardmakers - Spring Things

All Dressed Up - March #115 - Add a Critter

Baptism

 Good day

This was a special request project from a grandmother for her grand child's baptism.  I think this was a totally first for me too. So I browsed around and found some inspiration on the web and started to play with stuff. The sentiment was computer generated and I played with some different dies. With St Patrick's day yesterday this fresh green paper from Lemon Craft's Fresh Summer stack caught my eyes. The flower die is from Spellbinder an the border is from a stash that I received as gift. The lovely green enamel dots and rhinestones added the finishing touch.

Challenges I'm joining:

Special Celebrations

Good day

I follow a lovely lady in Ohio and she tried her hand on something different lately. This inspired me to try something different too. CAS is totally not my style. I do suffer with a lot of open spaces. I have a lot of bits and pieces of dies that I have not used. A lot of them in black and white too, but in the end I only used the label with the white sentiment done in glitter paper. I have a few 50 Birthdays coming up this year and this lead to using a stamp from Fiskar that is like from ages in my stash.  It took me much longer to make up my mind than to make the card in the end. But that is probably why it is called CAS. 

Challenges I'm joining:

Perfectly CAS #13 - Birthdays

Colour Hues #14 - Black and White

Crafty Friends March - Birthdays

Hope you have one fine day!

A new challenge at Creative Moments

                                                    

 Good day

On the 7th of a month it is the start of a new challenge at Creative Moments. We are sponsored by Cute as a Button. We had 2 images to play with. Mine is Joshua Aviator. I took my inspiration from the inspirational photo, not as much the space theme, though my airplane is a bit lower than space. The colours and dots made me think of this piece of paper in my stash. So I used dies and colours to enhanced my inspiration. By luck there is even a number on the image, though it is a seven. The sentiment is stamped and is in Afrikaans for happy birthday. 

Challenges I'm joining:

If you give a Crafter a Cookie #154 - Inspirational Photo

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 # 202

Incy Wincy 1 - 14 March - Work/play or big hearts.

Crafty Catz #541 - Dies or punches (2nd entry)

Hope you'll come and join us at Creative Moments.

Catch the Bug Anything Goes

Good day

I'm always super excited when there is a new challenge at Catch the Bug. And the first Saturday of this month it is a fun Anything goes. Since I have a few 18th birthdays on its way I thought I'll start making cards for these occasions. I used Guy with Car Key. Since at 18 we can obtain a driver's licence and for a young man that means FREEDOM. I used paper from my stash. The first time I have used the Purple Magnolia Circle border. Twine is from my recycled bin and I added a key charm as final touch.

Challenges I'm joining:

The Outlawz Wednesday Sketch 3-16 March

The Outlawz Thursday Twist 25 February - 10 March - Circle in a square

Hope you'll come and join us at Catch the Bug. Can't wait to see you there!

18 on a bike

 Good day

A friend of ours' son is turning 18 tomorrow. So I quickly made him a card with some die cuts. The bike is from hobby solutions. The oval is a faux stitch die from Crea-Lies. I used the other ends of my Christmas tree this time for the corner swirls. The 18 is done in a navy blue, though on the photo it looks black. 

Challenges I took inspiration from:

Crafty Catz #541 - Anything goes with die cuts and punches

Color Hues #13 - Blue and Yellow

Creative Knockouts #391 - All Stitched up

Thank you and have a great weekend.

You are 30!

Good day

Today I just want to share a card that I made for a friend of mine's son in law. I used an image called Roadster from Createful Heart, since this young man loves sport cars. I used poly chromes to colour it. The paper is from my stash and I used the end part of a Christmas tree for the swirls in the corners. Sentiment is from Desert Diva.
