Hi everyone! A few weeks ago, Lawn Fawn released their new products. I think this release is just fantastic! I couldn’t wait to receive my order and to make some cards. Today I made this card.

The great thing about the Lawn Fawn stampsets is that you can mix and match them as much as you want. So for this card I used 3 stampsets: Smooth sailing, On the beach and Keep swimming, to make the inside scene.

The card turned out just like I wanted. The front is a window view of a boat on the sea.

The inside of the cars shows what is going on at the sea, above and below the water.

I really enjoyed making this card and I hope you like it the result as much as I do!

See you soon!

Hi everyone! Last Thursday my mother in law and I went to a workshop.
The hobbystore Craft & Things in Antwerp gives great cardmaking workshops and we love to go there. It’s pretty far driving for us but always so much fun!

In this workshop we would work with alcohol inks. I was already interested in alcohol inks for a while now because you can have fabulous backgrounds with it. But I was in doubt to buy the inks because I wasn’t sure if I would like working with it. And also because you need a few supplies to get started as well.

But… I loved it! So I bought a few supplies to get started. I got a blue-ish and green color like we used for the seaweed on the card. With summer coming closer I will be making sea themed cards and those sea colors will come in handy!

The card we made on Thursday was seathemed as well. Look at the cute seahorse and the beautiful seaweed!

We also used gilding flakes on the alcohol ink background. Those are the silver and bronze parts you can see on the seaweed. I loved it that I could try out these new products.

If you would like to follow a cardmaking workshop, Crafts & Things is the place to be!

I enjoyed making this card and I hope you like it too! See you soon!

Hi everyone! First of all, a happy Mothersday to all mom’s reading this blog 🙂

Today I’m sharing a card with you that I made with the Oh gnome stampset from Lawn Fawn.

My husband needed a card for his mom’s Motherday. I made a lovely scene were he is the male gnome and his mom is the female gnome. As you can see, he tells her how much he loves her and gives her some flowers to thank her. Isn’t it cute?

I made the patterned background myself by stamping and coloring the images. It’s always so much fun if you can do that and make everything go well togheter.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!

Hi everyone! A few days ago I saw this beautiful designed card from Mindy Eggen. I loved it so much that I wanted to make a card like that too. So I did…

While Mindy used glitterpaper as base to blend her ink on, I had to come up with something different. I took Bristol smooth paper and blended a background with distress ink. After that, I put a thin layer of Nuvo glimmer paste on it and let that dry.

I really love how colorful and sparkly the background is. The stamp is from a small Dutch company, CarlijnDesign, and it fits the card perfectly!

I hope you enjoyed looking at these glitterclouds!

See you soon!
