Daydream Cards for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** + Playing at *Lindy's Stamp Gang Color Challenge* & *More Than Words Mini Challenge*!!!

 Hi there lovely friends,

Welcome to my blog today for this post I made two cards with some of the most beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard pieces. I made them in two different shades one in teal/aqua and the other one in darkpink/licht pink. For these cards I have used two collections of Maja Design papers. 

My/Your Daydream:

 2Crafty Chipboards used: 

Foliage Set 3

Doily Disc Set 1

Fine Word Set 3

Circle Word Tag Set 1

Decorative Rod Set 1

All the chipboard pieces a treated with a layer of white gesso. The Decorative Rod Set 1 I embossed with two layers of embossing powder by Lindy's Stamp Gang. The doily and the words are embossed with purely white embossing powder.

The Foliage Set 3 I treated with flat fabio's {danny zuko's denim} twice and then I used three different waxes on them and cut them in two parts to place them in my flower cluster after they where all dried up. In the end I used some nuvo crystal drops on the circles. The Cards are made out of three layers that I distressed around the edges. 

With these cards I will be entering two challenges one at Lindy's Stamp Gang here is the beautiful color challenge at the Lindy's blog

2 Cards for ***Scrap And Me*** Challenge #91 Card!!!

Hello my crafty friends, 

It's the 8th of the month and that means another challenge over at the ScrapAndMe blog. This time the challenge is create a card, well that's easy so I made two of them a blue/aqua one and a pink one. The pink one I made a little shaker box on with a older die by "Cheery Lynn Designs" with some glitter glass and sequins in it. And the blue/aqua one I used a window frame on I just love them. 

I always make two cards if I make cards because in former design teams that was a commitment to the team you where on. So that never left my side lol. It seems when I am planning to make cards I start with one but half way through I begin on the other one and the one I started with is the last one I finish. 

You are One of a Kind so Smile:

If you combine blue and aqua it's not that hard to take a picture in some weird way. As you see I love to stitch on my work and I do that also with the cards I make. I really love the word strips in all the pterry ScrapAndMe collections.

I was so much in a flow with making these cards there is one other on my desk as I write this post using the pretty "Sunflowers" collection using my sunflower die that's in my stash forever {Cheery Lynn Designs} 

Be Happy Beautiful:

Scrap And Me papers used: I have used mainly scraps from several collections. 

 

I would like to thank you all for being here with me today and for your amazing support. I really love this creative journey I am sharing with you all ....

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year Cards for ***Maja Design***

 Goodmorning sweet Friends,

Lately I have the baddest luck with all my electronics in my house ughhh, programs on it not working and much more! Today I would like to share two cards I made with the lovely newest " Traditional Christmas " collection. I am not such a cardmaker but when I received this pretty collection I had to make me some cards.....loving those gnomes so much.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year Cards:On my cards I used a whole bunch of dies because I love making flowers with the same kind of papers I am using at that time. I really had fun making these. The cards are tall they have a size 19 cm by 11 cm....that size is my favorite to work with! First I made the flowers and then added all the dies in the composition I'd liked then I took my glue gun and put everything into place.

If you make your flowers yourself you can add a lot of demension to your cards but the don't fit in a regular envelope lol....I also love adding straws to my cards.

For the phrases on the cards I just used the strips on the bottom of the 12 by 12 sheets. Marie just adds so many nice phrases there to used on your works.

Maja Design papers used: Santa's Elves-bs, Family gathering, Singing carols-bs, Peace and joy and the 6 by 6 paperpad.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today! I also would like to let you know that I am hosting a Maja Design give away on my blog which will end next month around the 12th. I do hope you will enter it to win www.amyvoorthuis.blogspot.com have a wonderful day and stay healthy & safe

You are Strong & Thanks Card for ***Cheery Lynn Designs***

Good morning lovelies. 

How nice of you to visit my blog.  Today I show you what I made using my precious Cheery Lynn Designs dies. This time I went for a card with some of the flower dies Cheery Lynn Designs offers {I love making my own flowers}. For this card I used the pretty NEW "Rose Quartz" collection by Prima Marketing and some of the Maja Design card stock for making the pink flowers. 

You are Strong:

I was inspired by pink ribbon, because in the Formula 1 {yes I watch that ;-)} they made some pink highlights in the cars which I thought was amazing. In the centers of the flowers I added some metal embellishments and I also used some flairs by Cuts2luv. To finish my card I added some leaves, prills {those little pink beads}, dewdrops and a bow of thread.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used: 

DL263 - Lilith Doily with Angelwing

B865 - Mehndi Botanicals #4

CABD-110 - Nesting Doll Tags #2

B259 - Daisy Strip

C184 - Judys Blooms

SF-3 - Stacker Flower #3

B241 - Rose Leaf Strip

Who is your greatest inspiration for creating? Well for me there are a couple ladies/men who inspire me to create, one of them is Gabrielle Pollacco {who doesn't love her work right??}! She has been a guest here for Cheery Lynn Design too a couple of years back. She got me inspired to make this card {especially the flowers with the white dots on them} so thanks sweet Gabi....sometimes inspiration is drifting of and you need some to make a DT project, then for me I just have to look at some of my amazing friends and I know what to make. 

Thanks: 

Those sprays are made with the Sweet Williams Strip and they are really easy to make hopefully I can show you how I made them soon. I LOVE the burlap border it's one of my favorite dies of Cheery Lynn because you can use them for so many things {mostly are a background piece} here on my card I layered two of them slightly moved on top of each other.

 For this card I used several 49 and Market collections. Since you almost only see Christmas/Halloween cards on the blog at the moment I thought let's make something different to show of....oops I did that last week too hehe I am not such a fan of Christmas I think that's why I almost never make those cards.
