Needed an anniversary card. So, I embossed two roses in white. Colored them with distress inks. The heart is a Hero Arts stamp. In the background a wood stamp by Impression Obsession.
Glued it all together with a Simon Says Stamp banner, stamped wit a Hero Arts sentiment. Easy, but fun result!

Thinking of You

A daughter of one of my friends is traveling to South America. She is the same age of my daughter. She will be there for a couple of months for fun and for study. So, I thought I would be nice to make her a card to let her know we are thinking of her and wish her luck.

Snowflakes

For the "90 minute scramble 98" on Hero Arts blog I made a card with snowflakes. Wich you can see here:

After that I read a blogpost on Wplus9 Blog by Maureen Merrit. She is very talented and I love her cards. You can find her own blog here:

On Wplus9 blog she showed how you can make different looking cards with the same stampset.
You can read it here:

And off course I wanted to try it myself, and with the same stampset as I used at the 90 minute scramble. Here they come!


















All of these cards are made with a Hero Arts stampset: "Enjoy the seasons" CG210.
After stamping the snowflakes I added some other stamps and embellishments.
Very fun to do, I can recommand it!
Thanks for visiting,that is much appreciated!

Joy to You

Like to show you a card I made for Virginia's Challenge of this month:"All things Distressed". You can find it here:
http://virginiasviewchallenge.blogspot.nl/

It is one of my Christmas cards. The background is colored and stamped with Distress Inks. Both stamps in the background are Hero Arts.Than stamped snowflakes on it, and embossed it with white embossing powder. And because the edges were a little wet, the embossing powder sticked on to it like snow. I like that!


The tree and the die cut snowflakes are cut with my Cricut Machine and covered with Stickles "Frosted Lace". The house stamp is "We R Memory Keepers". And finally the "Bramble Circle" is Memory Box.

More than one tree

It is already a month ago since I last posted a blog post. More than time for a new post. Today a story about trees.
I can tell you: I love trees!
Thats one of the reasons that I often go to our little forest.


You can see my bike against the fence. Behind it an anouncement about our canoe center. You can rent a canoe and go through our forest and meadows by canoe!


And now on to my card.
You probably can understand that when I saw a Hero Arts stamp with a tree, I had to buy it!


When I first inked it up, I was excited, but after I stamped it, I was not satified at all. To be more precise: I made 25 impressions before I felt a little satisfied. Half way in the proces, I stamped 4 trees in a row. I liked the second and the last tree, but not the first and the third in the row. I was in doubt.....But one of those days, when I went on my bike through my village, I even saw those trees along the way, even the first, in a very special late afternoon light! It felt as if I got a present!



The final step was to make a card with these trees in a row. Embellished it with some autumn leaves. Added a sentiment. Love the result! Hope you do! I decided to enter this card in the "Less is more" Challenge # 198 : "More than one tree".
