Big

For the cards for Church I always use pattern paper with a white side, or a Hero Arts Layering paper wich has a white side. The reason: people can write their greeting and name on the inside. To fill a front of a card of this size, isn't always easy. So, often I go for flowers of a bigger size, such as these.


This flower is called: "Loving Lily", by Impression Obsession. (F9264) Stamped and heat embossed with gold and colored with Distress Inks. The background is Hero Arts and is called Classic Fabric Design. (CG245) Added some feathers, a tag and a banner, only for fun.
Hope you like your visit here. It is much appreciated!

Day 10

Happy Monday! This is already day 10 of my personal challenge: to show you a card I made for Church every day of this month.
Today a card with the Edged Flowers again!


Stamped the flowers with memento black, and colored them with Copic Markers. Then cut them and glued them on a kraft envelope by Maya Road.
And no, there's nothing in the envelope :) Just for fun.
Thanks for your visit!
Have a good week!

Men's cards

I am always struggling with men's cards. When I make cards for Church there have to be cards for men too, but it isn't easy. So thats why I bought this stampset by Stampin'Up. It is perfect to make cards for men.


The striped tag wich I used as a background is by Hero Arts.
If you have some idea's, I reccommend to share it in the comments. That would be much appreciated!!!

Sentiment...

Today again a card for Church. These cards have a greeting inside, so no sentiment at the front. Besides that...elderly and ill people like a greeting in their OWN language. I don't have that much sentiments in dutch, so we agreed in no using sentiments at the front. Here is a Autumn card I made recently.


The stamps are by Hero Arts: G5269 Tall Pumpkin and F5270 Traditional Pumpkin. I love them and used them often. This time heat embossed with gold and colored with Distress Inks.The leaves are cut with my Cricut machine and colored with Distress Inks.
While I was working on it I thought it was a bit "empty". So, I made another one for myself, smaller and with sentiment.


The sentiment and the ribbon gives it that something extra, don't you think?
Thank you for visiting!
And comments are much appreciated. Maybe someone has ideas to give a big card some "extra" without adding a sentiment?

Etched Flowers

For some reason I already used the Etched Flowers stamp by Hero Arts a lot for Church cards! You can use it as it is, but also cut loose the flowers and make another arrangement as I did here.


To make the background more interesting I stamped the flower stamp on it with soft sand Hero Arts Ink. And the red Etched flowers are glued on an ornament cut with my Cricut machine with silver card. And also added some red splatters on the background, with a Heidi Swapp spray.
Thats it for today. Thanks for visiting. Hope you come back soon. And remember: there will be a small envelope with dutch/european goodies for one of you who give me a comment in October!
