Merry Christmas

With this blogpost I wish you a Merry Christmas! Hope you have a wonderful time with friends and family! Here you find a photo of my Nativity Scene.


The stable was made by my father. A good memory. He always liked to make things with his hands. The wooden animals are bought in a store with toys. And so are the angel, sheep, donkey and shepherd of felt. They can be bought at "Dille en Kamille". The wooden figures are made by me. And here is a card.


Wishing you all the warmth of loved ones! Thank you for visiting here!

Beautiful Bouquets

It is a while ago since I posted here. But today I like to share two cards I made for Church with a stampset by "WPlus9".


This Dahlia bouquet is stamped with Memento black ink and colored with Copic Markers.


This is the same Dahlia bouquet but now stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with WoW embossingpowder in gold on watercolor paper. Then colored with Distress Ink. The oval shape was made using oval dies by Hero Arts. They come in a lot of different sizes and they work great!

Sketch Ranunculus

I so love the "Sketch Ranunculus" stampset by Simon Says Stamp! Here I heat embossed the flowers with WoW embossing powder in white. And then colored it with DistressInks.

Star Flower

A little while ago I bought this gorgeous backgroundstamp by Simon Says Stamp: "Star Flower Backgroundstamp".
Here are two cards made with this stamp.





The first one is heat embossed with white embossingpowder, and the second is heat embossed with silver embossingpowder. It is super fun to color the image! Both are colored with watercolorpencils. So, first added the color with pencils and than went over it with a waterbrush. Loved it!

Bird and cage

Today I like to show one of the cards I recently made. The panel is made with little stamps and Distress Inks on watercolor paper. The cage is


cut with my Cricut machine. The bird is by Different Colors, stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder, and also colored with Distress Inks. I like cages and I like birds, but I don't like birds in cages, so I put the bird at the outside of the cage. He can fly away if he would like.

Today I like to share a card I made with Hero Arts stamps. And I took inspiration from the last OCC : Sparkle and Shine.


In the background two larger stamps: Musical background and Sweet Treads Antique. Stamped them with Versa Mark and brushed Perfect Pearls over it. The sentiment says: Happy birthday in dutch. Its Marianne Design. The flowers are also Hero Arts -CL184 Thoughtful Messages- and so are the leaves. Stamped with Versa Mark and heat embossed with White embossing powder by WOW.

Enjoy your day!

Sparkle and Shine

Here is another card I made for the Online Card Class: Sparkle and Shine. For this card I used my new Embellishment Mousse, with a color named: Powder Blue.


And no, it isn't Christmas, but summer is also a good excuse to use some sparkle. As I think of the sun shining on waves in the late afternoon, bringing a golden glow at the sea. And dewdrops glisten in early morninglight!


For this card I used a stencil of Donna Downey for Prima Marketing. The striped paper is "Dear Lizzy" paper. First added the mousse with a Ranger Distress tool. Than took some embossing paste in white and added a little amount of the blue mousse to it, so that the paste got the same blue color, and added it on the stencil too. I love the partial covering! And finally removed the stencil and added some Hero Arts Prisma Glitter. The " Hugs" sentiment is SSS.
The idea for this card came from Shari Carrol.
Hope you enjoyed your visit here!
