Christmas Is Coming

... and I made it! The first Christmas cards this year ... I have to admit somehow I do not feel like Christmas quite yet. The sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday helped me to start with the 'production' (LOL)

 

 The cards are made using the same sketch, plain coloured and white card and the same stamps (Elzybells). I coloured the stamped images using colouring pencils and Stickles. The white card is embosed using Cuttlebug embossing folders. The finishing touches are ribbons and some little blings. Wishing you a good start to the new week, Petra.

It's A Boy

Recently two of our friends became parents. They are over the moon. They had to go through so much before having a baby and now are truly happy to be Mum and Dad to a little screaming and all-demanding little chap. I made a little card to celebrate the occasion using a sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday

patterend paper from EchoPark and Kraftcard, stamps from LoriBoydDesign and Woodware, some blings, ribbon and some machine stitching

Wishing you a lovely Sunday, Petra.

Home Sweet Home

CherylAnn from 'Try Stampin' on Tuesday' asked me last week whether I would like to be guest designer for this week's challenge ... I was surprised, excited and honoured and what else could I say than yes! The sketch for this week's challenge is a sketch with endless possibilities .....

It was perfect to create a card for my brother and his family as he will be moving house very soon

All patterned papers are from Jillibean Soup - the sweet ribbon and button thread from the Ribbon Girl - charm, button, flower, blings and pearl from my stash - the sentiment stamp from Eline Pellinkhof, the houses from Hero Arts.
Why not pop over and join the fun? Petra.

Sweet Friends

Sweet Friends in a monochrome setting .... for Vicki's second silhouette challenge week I created a card in a monochrome black&white colour scheme using a sketch from 'Try Stampin on Tuesday'

 

The white A6 card base is dry--embossed with an Cuttlebug embossing folder. The black Bazill and simple white card layers were cut with Nestabilities. The two lovely ladies are again images from Floppy Latte Designs which I cut out, put on foam pads and covered with Glossy Accents. I stamped the little sentiment with Wild Rose Studio stamps and added a little bow and a teeny tiny bling as embellishments.

 

Hop over to the Cheerful Stamp Pad blog for more inspiration and there there is still plenty of time to join in with the challenge. See you there, Petra.
