My Guest Designer card

Good morning all,
Last month my card was spotlighted in a challenge at Crafting by Designs and I was invited to be a guest designer for February with their Anything goes challenge.  Well this is the card I made.

A few weeks ago I bought some new Crealies create a card dies. I was browsing her and the DT blogs for inspiration and came across Boukjes blog with some lovely ideas. This is where I saw this card and decided I need to make this.

This is what I used. with a close up of the flowers

 

Kraft cardstock. Crealies create a card die #2 for cutting the card.
                                                                                            
 All the flowers, leaves, doily were cut from various Joy and Marianne design dies.
                                                      
 The flourish is also a new Crealies die.

I so enjoyed making this card and was happy with how it turned out.

I will be back later to enter it in some challenges.

A Birthday card

Good morning all. A lovely sunny morning here.... hope it stays that way..... had NO rain yesterday....
I have a number of birthday card to make for family and friends this month.... so here is one of them......not telling who it is for.
I am also entering this one into 2 challenges, both digital and both requiring buttons.
Digital Challenges - anything goes
Digistamps4joy - Buttons

Here is what I did:

Paper - white cardstock, matted DP printed from Funky Hand CD, Bazzil cut with a Nellie Snellen die.

Image - Freebie from Digistamps4joy, printed onto watercolour paper and coloured with distress inkpads

Embellishments. Ribbon from stash, also buttons and flowers. For the sentiment I printed happy birthday and cut out a button with Crealies die. covered it with glossy accents to add to the buttons. Finished off with lots of bling round the frame, as this young lady loves BLING.

Inside - repeated the paper, ribbon and bling, added a Nestie cutout for the message.

I hope she will love it, let me know what you think.
Have a super day, keep warm if it is cold and snowy where you are.

Apples and mice.......

Happy Sunday to everyone... Yes I know it is almost the end of the weekend, but what the heck it is only the second week of the year. Here in SA we are having a rainy cool day.... I usually love it, but we have had so many rainy cool days and our summer is going by very quickly. At least I have been able to make a few cards. Here is one of them.
I am entering this one in the Karen's doodles challenge No.44 following the sketch given.

Paper - Red card, matted white and DP from Marieke Vermeulen designs that I printed.
Image from Karen's doodles coloured with Distress inkpads, cut with a Nestability and mounted onto a red cutout.

Borders were cut in red and green with a die from Crealies.
Sentiment was computer generated and cut with a scolloped Nestie.
Finished off with an apple brad.
On the inside I used the same DP paper that had an apple in the corner and a white cutout for the message.

Hope you all have a wonderful week. Will be back soon. Warm wishes.

Creative Cottage challenge

The challenge is "pretty pink" so this is the card I have made.

Used white cardstock, matted a soft pink card that I put through the cuttlebug with a folder from Crealies. http://www.crealies.nl/ Then cut a frame with the cuttlebug using a new die that I have.

The image is a Hero Arts stamped onto white watercolour paper and coloured with Twinkling H2o's and water colour pencils.

A piece of ribbon knotted completed the picture.

On the inside I used the outer part where the frame was cut from and stamped a sentiment froma local stamping company.
