here is what i've created with the new sunflower #643 set -




as usual i started with a white cardstock, which i sprayed with yellow, green and blue memories mists. after the colours have dried, i added a layer of stamped images, using SNS #606 journal mixed media stamp set with blue and green MEMENTO INK.


finally, i doodled the brown frames around the edge of the cardstock and added the circle pattern using SNS #606 journal mixed media stamp set and a brown MEMENTO INK.


i added paper strips from PRIMA marketing "sun kissed" pattern paper, which i punched with MARTHA STEWART "doily lace' edge punch. i added a strip of crochet lace ribbon dark brown to decorate my page.


i stamped the sunflowers on a white cardstock, using #643 sunflower stamp set and VERSAMARK ink. then i heat embossed the set with SNS EP187 teddy brown. after the embossing powder has cooled down, i coloured the flowers with COPIC sketch markers.


to finish off my flowers, i added G2012 bronze splendor glitter in the middle. i used sakura glue pen to adhere the glitter to the cardstock.


to finish off my design, i stamped the sentiment from the #643 sunflower stamp set on random places and heat embossed it with SNS EP187 teddy brown.


wonder which designer contains the GRAND PRIZE this month?

SMILE card {SPARKLE N SPRINKLE}

hello crafty friends!

it is my turn today over at SPARKLE N SPRINKLE's blog and i decided to create a JUST BECAUSE card -



 to create the card i used various SPARKLE N SPRINKLE stamp sets, white and pink cardstock and embossing powders.

for my background i used SNS journal mixed media stamp set #606 with VERSAMARK ink. i added a layer of embossed images with EP350 pink delight and another one with EP387 princess rose. for the edge i used EP168 gold detail.


 for the large flourish i used SNS leafy flourish stamp set #641. i stamped the image on a white cardstock with VERSAMARK ink and heat embossed the set with EP168 gold detail. after the embossing powder has cooled down, i colored the flourish with a pink COPIC sketch marker.

for the sentiment i used SNS flourishes 2 stamp set #520. i stamped the word SMILE on white cardstock using VERSAMARK ink and EP268 copper dreams.


i added pink pearls, ribbons and paper roses to finish off my design.

i hope you enjoyed today’s post!

JULY cards with DIE-VERSIONS

hello crafty friends!

i can't believe it is JULY already! and as usual in the beginning of the month we've got a new release! this month we are focusing on everything girly and naturally DIE-VERSIONS' newest release is called "LIFE as a DIVA".

today i would like to share two cards i created using these amazing dies:

for the first project  used the new WHISPERS "magic wand" die - the design is indeed magic and it is fit for every little fairy!


 i die cut the magic wand using the WHISPERS "magic wand" die and silver glittery cardstock. 


i cut the word BIRTHDAY using the SWEET WORDLETS "birthday" die. 


 and finally for the frame, around the fairy {clear stamp from MARIANNE DESIGN; coloured with COPIC CIAO markers}, i used the SWEET FRAMES "smile" die. i colored the word SMILE with a silver marker and added a glittery star above it.


*****

my second card i decided to create for a little ballerina, who is very dear to me. i mat the pink card base with white cardstock, which i had sprayed with two shades of pink GLIMMER MIST - 

i used the SWEET FRAMES "hello" die to frame the cute tutu dress and the SWEET WORDLETS "adorable" die for my sentiment. 


for the silver dress stand i used the WHISPERS "tutu dress" die and silver coloured cardstock.


 finally, i decorated the swirls with RANGER pink liquid pearls.

i hope you enjoyed this month DIE-VERSIONS projects! 

have a wonderful creative day!

fun with flairs and chippies {CREATIVE EMBELLISHMENTS}

hello crafty friends!

i just love to play with the amazing products from CREATIVE EMBELLISHMENTS!
this week i’ve decided to go with colorful paper and “naked” chippies! 

and here is the result -

"TODAY"



to create my layout i used KAISERCRAFT blubelle collection {MERLY IMPRESSIONS}. as you can see the paper and the die cuts are so colorful, that i really didn't need to add any color to my chippies. 

i used the frond set 2 chippies as a base to the corner decoration of my picture.


the wonderful metal leaves and corners i got as a present from the amazingly sweet fellow design team member DORIS WIDDER - THANK you, DORIS! i really love them!


to frame the sentiment i used as a title, i used CREATIVE EMBELLISHMENTS' steampunk gear clock 3 chippie and the butterfly flair set.


and finally i added the large frame from the film strip picture frame set and a lot of die cuts, to finish off my design.


here is a list with some of the products i used on this layout:


i hope you enjoyed today's post!

and don't forget to check CREATIVE EMBELLISHMENTS' blog for more inspirational projects leaded with chipboard goodies!
