The fourth of October

Because it is "Animal Day" today, I thought I have to share a card wich has an animal on it. So, I searched in my Church card photo's, and yes, I found one! Made it in May this year.


The paper is by SEI. The grasshopper is stamped and heat embossed on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Inks. The stamp is a birthday present of a couple of years ago. One of my friends let ik make after a photo I made. So, how fun is that!

Sunflowers

How I love sunflowers! When I saw this stampset used, I could not resist! The idea for this card I saw last April at "Arts Specially". A stamp event in the Netherlands. These stamps were used by Miranda Degenaars, a dutch stamper and a true artist! I learned a lot from her!


The stampset is called : Sunflower Set WP639 by Impression Obsession. The brick wall is made with the Brick Layering Stencil by Stampers Anonymous.
This is one of the cards for Church. You can read about in yesterdays post. Today I like to say something about the size of the card. These cards are mostly made with an Hero Arts Layering Paper folded in half. The benefit of this paper is that it has a white side. So, everyone can write his of her name on the white inside of the card!
Hope you liked your visit!

First sunday of the month...

This is the second day of challenging myself. Yesterday I told that I will challenge myself to post a card each day of this month October.
The card I show you today is made for Church. Every first sunday of the month, churchmembers can sign a card for a person who is ill, of for someone who is in a house for elderly people. Those cards are made by me, don't have a sentiment because the greeting is inside of the card.


This is todays card. Used some Hero Arts stamps and Simon Says Stamp stamps and colored it with Copic Markers. People love to have coffee with Apple pie. Me too :( !
Hope you liked your visit!
Comments are much appreciated! And remember, there will be a little prize for someone who comment this month!

Today I like to share a card I made for Church. Every first sunday of the month, cards can be signed by church members who attend sunday service, cards wich will be sent to elderly people and people in hospitals. These cards are made by me. They don't have to had a sentiment on them, because the cards have a greeting inside.



Tomorrow it is again the first sunday of the month, and I made several cards. This is one of them.
Made with a stampset by Papertrey Ink. "Mum's the word".
I planned to show you each day of this month one of these cards. Thats a real challenge. Not because of the cards, they are already made, but because of the blogpost...hope I don't forget it!
Hope you visit here once in a while! And hope you like it! And comments are appreciated!
At the beginning of november I will draw someone of the comments I got during October. This person will get an envelope with some dutch/ european goodies for crafting!
See you Tomorrow!
