A friend of mine is having a birthday party today and I had to make him a card. I wanted it so be a bit masculine, one of my biggest challenges. Somehow my attempts always end up slightly girly or at best, quite neutral.
Inspired by Mojo Monday #277, I made this:
I was in the mood for crafting and noticed an interesting challenge over at the Simply Less is More blog, too bad I didn’t check the submission time, I was a bit late but it doesn’t bother me much, I finally got to use this stamp!
As the challenge was to make a one layer card with a sports theme I had to color the stamp on the card base, not very smart as the paper apparently tend to make the colors bleed. Oh well, you learn from your mistakes :)
My cousin Lukas turns two years today so I’m heading to a birthday party in a few hours and of course, I made a card for him. I only used paper from my scrap stash this time and I got to use some of my washi tapes and alphabet stickers/thickers.
As always when I have a card to make I take a look at the ongoing challenges, this is the layout from Mojo Monday #276.
One of my cousins has got two lovely girls and the youngest of them, Jasmina, had her Christening ceremony today and I made a card with the present on, just like I did for her sister Emilia a few years ago. I even happened to find the same necklace for her.
The card says “for Jasmina on your Christening day”. I also added “from your dad’s cousins Therese and Robert” later on as it was a gift from both of us.
The patterned paper is from my Dreamcatcher paper pad by First edition paper. I did some stamping and simple decorations and I also used my new favorite, stickles, to add some sparkles.
First time I’ve made and sent a card without it being a birthday or Christmas card! Since I felt like making a card I took my regular challenge blogs visit and noticed this week’s Mojo Monday challenge which was usable for the card I had in mind.
“When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!” Stamped and warm embossed with white embossing powder. Just love it!
Used my promarkers of course: daffodil bloom, tulip yellow, cinnamon, cocoa, lavender, leaf green and grass. Matches the paper pretty well!
