Krea2day challenge

The second card I made to day is a "swing" card. I made the card because of a fantastic challenge on the Krea2day blog. Cynthia is giving away a fabulous creative firework package to one of the people that send her a "swing" card.

The trees are a die from Leane creatief, the snowflake is from Marianne design and the rectangle is a x-cut die. The text stamp is from Whiff of Joy and the cute bear is James from Lili of the Valley.

Tag with stitching

This tag had been laying around for quite some time before I thought of putting one of the beautiful stitching patterns from Ann's PaperArt on the label. After that was clear, it was quickly finished.

3 circles

This card consists of 3 circles put together with eyelets. The circle spellbinders are probably my favorite things, as you can use them in so many different ways. Closed you only see part of the card, a sort of circular pyramid. But if you slide it open, you have way more of a card.

The images are from Forever Friends, the bird is from wood.

Latern giftbox - 2

 

For a colleague who turns 50 this year I made a Latern Giftbox. The workshop I used is from Stempeleinmaleins and can be found here. Do pop over there as they have many great workshops.

The stamp-prints used are of course based on my colleague. The DIY is from daisy and dandelion, the bear in the car is from I brake for Stams, the mouse with the books is from the Greeting farm and the cute bear on the bench with shirt is from Lili of the Valley.
The box has a light, but is also filled with his favorite sweets.

APA challenge 3

A new challenge on Ann's PaperArt blog not only gives you one free pattern to create a card with, but also an additional free pattern of you choice when you participate! That is of course a great opportunity, so I have played around a bit with the pattern.

The first card is made with the pattern as given. A square card with a label stamp and die from Whimsy en the flower stamp from Stampinback.

The second card I wanted to make an A6, so I slightly adjusted the pattern to fit this size. Two cards and still plenty of time left, because the challenge runs till November 30th. Maybe another card will follow....
