Birthday Script Flower Card

Hi there, everyone! I have a birthday script flower card to show you today.
And yes, I know it’s been a while since I last posted here. Though, I kept making crafts I couldn’t spare the time to write and share them with you. Hope to be able to do this more often.
This card’s got a few elements and I tried to keep it clean and simple. Read more

Through the Clouds

Good morning, crafty friends!
Up there through the clouds there’s a hot air balloon that finds its way to get the birthday message to its rightful recipient.
I’ve been playing around with the idea of clouds and balloons for quite a while and since I had a little time to get it right, that’s what came out of it.

Masculine Tie Cards

Good morning, everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend.:-)
I’ve got a pair of masculine tie cards to show for today. For some time now, I said I’ve got to design at least one more card each time I set myself to make one. As there are a lot of upcoming birthdays this month I’ve made some extra to build a go to birthday cards stash. Read more

Flowery Notes

Hello, dear friends and crafty people! The post today is about my first notebook. It is a flowery notes sewn notebook. And I hope you like it.
A while ago I saw a #docrafts tutorial on how to do bookbinding and got the idea to create a handmade notebook. I thought, at first, it’s complicated. But then, I said, hey, why not try it and see if that’s really the case?!Though I had in mind that it might take a while to do all the sewing and cutting, it turned out to be less time spent on these as initially expected. And it worked wonderful and I love what I created!

A Wedding Invitation

Hello, one and all! With the wedding season in full bloom and action, I’d like to finally show you the invitations I made for two great friends: Gina & Cornel. Their wedding was a couple of years ago and they’ve been leaving their happily ever after since.
Now, it took me quite a while to assemble this post together as it’s been quite a challenge to decide which ones of all the great photos Cristi took will make it to the post. I have to admit he did a great job as always! The ones I show you here are with the small or big components of the wedding invitations arranged by Cristi himself.

A Wedding Gift

Good morning, everyone! Wedding gift ideas are always welcome and we love to get some inspiration in creating more. Or many, why not?

This was the first cardboard box I have ever decorated and has been an idea that stuck with me later on when I made the desk calendars. It’s a lot of work but well deserved when you look at the result.

The Interactive Fox

Hello, everyone! It’s been a while, right? Here’s my go for an interactive card using small stamps, coloured pencils, dies and inks.

I’ve been planning for a while now to give some love to these mini stamps I have with Santoro’ s stamp sets. I chose the sets Toadstools and The Fox. Those little foxes are so playful and I enjoyed colouring them with my new Inktense pencils from Derwent. Besides the foxes I chose some tiny hedgehogs and some mushrooms. Totally loved the way they came out!

As I wanted to make it interactive, I went online and viewed some Lawn Fawn videos with interactive cards making and then set on my path to do mine. I chose some circle dies from Xcut and some cards to die cut the frames. For the background I chose to use some distress inks and I have no idea why haven’t I tried them before. They are magical! I used some sponge daubers and it came out beautiful!
On the first cover, I used a piece of card where from I die cut some leaves a while ago as a stencil to create that leafy layout.

Thank You Blooms

Hello, everyone! It’s been a long time since I last wrote here. There has been a pretty busy month with lots of projects, running my first 10K in an international competition and having the first English issues of a medical Journal I edited, being published. Thank you notes go to great people who’ve been there to support with kind thoughts and good deeds.

Hristos a Înviat!

Hristos a Înviat! Sper c? v-a?i bucurat de un Pa?te fericit, plin de lumin? ?i binecuvântare al?turi de cei dragi. Anul acesta am creat mai pu?in decât mi-am propus îns? am reu?it s? dau culoare unor ?tampile digitale folosind pe o plan?? acuarele si tu?uri pe baz? de ap?, iar pe alta am colorat folosind Promarkers, ni?te markere pe baz? de pigment.
?tampilele digitale sunt de la GerdaSteinerDesigns, una dintre creatoarele mele preferate de ?tampile. Acuarelele folosite sunt minunate ?i vin de la Staedtler, un alt brand favorit. Iar, tu?urile pe baz? de ap? sunt #distressinks de la Ranger. Pentru toate acestea am folosit cu drag pensulele mele cele noi, pensule cu rezervor de ap? de la Kuretake ZIG.
