    Lily with Tulips Mother’s Day Card

    Hi everyone, today I would like to show you a fun and cute card that I created for Mother’s Day, which is this weekend (at least where I live)! To get this card started I stamped an older Joy Crafts stamp called “Lily met Tulpen“ (Lily with Tulips / 6410/0009) on some Strathmore “Toned Tan“ paper using Versafine “Onyx Black“ ink and my MISTI.

    Whimsy Stamps Guest Designer - Baby Card

    Hi everyone, I’m very excited to be back on the Whimsy blog and bring you today’s project as guest designer. I don’t need many baby cards in my life but one of my nephew’s became father of the cutest little girl on earth a few weeks ago, so I made this card for him and his girlfriend to welcome the new family member! For today’s card I choose two stamps from the Whimsy Stamps product line. To get this card started I stamped the adorable Whimsy Stamps “Baby Giraffe“ stamp onto

    Blue and Silver

    Hi everyone, today I’m on the Kennedy Grace Creations blog with a mood board inspired card. I don’t use blue as a flower colour very much but on this card I really love the end result. This is the mood board all the KGC Design Team Members are working with this month: To get this card started I stamped the flower image from the Kennedy Grace Creations “Kindness Medley“ stamp set onto some Canson 1557 (180 gr./extra white) paper using Versafine “Onyx Black” ink and my MISTI.

    "Power Poppy" Guest Design post: Hues to Use!

    Hi everyone! I‘m very excited to be sharing a project with you today as a guest designer for Power Poppy stamps! I love the beautiful stamps this fabulous company makes: they have both clear stamps and digital stamps, all their stamps have a lot of detail and there is a lot of variety to choose from!

    Calender Month Series - August

    Hi everyone, today I have what is already the eight instalment of this Calender Month Series for you all. The summer vacations are almost over, kids are getting ready to go back to school again (at least where I live) and we hope to have nice summery weather in September also! So, for this month’s page I’m working with a very light (but not pastel or dull) sort of green and a darker purplish-pinkish colour. And I figured that since I haven’t used any kraft coloured paper to c

    Whimsy Stamps new release February 2017: “Hope”

    Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing another card with you that I made as a guest designer for Whimsy Stamps (https://whimsystamps.com/)! The new February release is gorgeous and I just love the new stamps designed by Sylvia Zet, especially the one I’ll be showing you today, because, I’m a sucker for fairies! So, today I will show you how to make this card that features this cute new “Hope” fairy stamp. I also used several other new Whimsy products (you see the purple and white bac
