I like my cardset part 7

Hello and thank you for stopping by!!! I hope everyone is having a good saturday so far. The card I want to show you today was also for the cardset I made. This time its another get well soon card. I embossed the right border of the card with a embossing-border from Cuttlebug-set "with love". I used the same folder for the borders over and under the sentiment and colored them with blue ink and blue chalk. In the mid of the flowers I put rhinestones to give it a bling. Fot the background on the left side i used some embossed patternpaper i once got from a friend for easter :) I think it matches the flower theme of the card. As last piece I added some deep blue ribbon on the bottom part of the card and tied it into a knot and some small punched butterflies to the flowerstems on the right side.
Tell me what you think?
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week
I hope you like the card and HAPPY CRAFTING :)

I like roses

Hello and thank you for stopping by!!! Today I want to share some other flowers with you that I made after the tutorial of Valita. This Lady has so very many awesome ideas, you should defiently check it out here. I made these roses with my StampinUp owl-punch and I love how they turned out.
I put the white-rosé one on a barette and so you can wear it as accesoir in you hair :)

I also sent one of these on a box to a friend in Australia.

I think they would also look great on a card, will have to try that out soon.
Tell me what you think :)
I hope everyone will have a great week
Happy Crafting!!!!!

I like lilies :)

Hello and thank you for Stopping by!!! Today I want to take a break from showing you cards from my cardset and show you something different. Somewhile ago my friend Cindy showed me the Blog of a super talented Australian Lady named Valita. She showed a way to make beautiful paperlilies that are very 3D and I had to try this out :)
After I made my first Lily
I showed it to a friend and she told me that they are looking like little barettes....and BANG....An Idea was born to make smalller versions of these lilies and to glue them on small barettes from the store.
I made a whole bunch of them and colored them in different colors and sent them out to different parts of the USA and there are some actually on the way to Australia.

I also used them to give them as guest-gift to the friends that came to my B-day-Lunch. Yes, every year at my B-Day-Lunch not only I get presents but my guests get small ones too :)
But these flowers aren´t only wonderful for the hair they also look awesome on cards. I made these two cards for friends that had live in the USA and had their Birthdays a few months ago :)

I think they turned out pretty good, what do you think?
I hope you like the lilies as much as I do :)
I hope you are all having a wonderful week
Happy Crafting

I like my cardset part 3

Hello and thank you for stopping by!!! Today I want to show you another card of the cardset I made. This time it´s an orange get well soon card. I embossed the top and the bottom of the card with my embossing borders from Provocraft with love set. I wanted to keep this card simple and so I just colored the embossed borders with orange ink. The image in the middle is a stamp from the stampin up set Happy Moments that I colored with water based crayons and my water tank pen. to give this card a classic touch I used selfadhesive rhinestones on the flowers on the borders.Then I put the ornament with the stamp on pop dots. As last step I added the "get-well-soon" sentiment on the right and left side.

I like my cardset part 2

Hello and thank you for stopping by!!! Today I want to share another baby-card with you that I made for the cardset. I kept it green to have a kind of neutral card that my friend can use for a baby girl or boy. For the background of the card I stamped with my embossing ink pad on the white card and then colored it with pearl-chalk from joycrafts. The border on the right side of the card is made out of light green vellum paper and I heat-embossed the small feet on it with light green ink and clear embossing powder. The image on this card is another 3D layer image with pop dots. I finished the card with a bit of pastel green ribbon and made a not in the middle.
