A Fabulous First Day

Late last evening I bought some new digi stamps,

and I just had to play with a couple of them at once.

In other words: This last night ended up to be a real short one 😏

Over at Beccy's Place there is an August Offer,

and here is my first card with some of the stamps I bought.

Recipe:

White card stock,

"Coffee" paper: Craft Sensations,

Image and sentiments: Beccy,

Banner die: Marianne Design,

Flower punch: EK Success,

Cat punch: Atelier Terziev.

Distress ink, brown pen and glitter.

Before I printed out the image,

I placed one of the sentiments on the front of the cup.

The image is fuzzy cut,

The banner is cut with my Cuttlebug.

A friend of mine is starting her new job today,
and I thought of her as I made this card.

And the cat?

Just waiting for Mom to come back from work.

Create, Inspire

I made this card for a very good friend of mine.

She starts her new work this week,

and with this card I want to wish her good luck.

She inspires me again and again.

She is creative, friendly and full of good ideas.

And when I am sad, she encourages me.

My First Impossible Card Ever!

Now I am a little proud, if that is allowed.

I've made my very first "impossible card".

Thank you Annie (Aussie aNNie) for giving me the idea!

My fingers are old (- well, just as old as I am 😏),

so they don't always work so well with tiny projects.

But I made this card! And I think this will not be the last one.
So fun to make it!

White card stock,

Paper: Craft Sensations "Lots of Flowers",

Purple, pink, green and white scrap papers.

Stamp: House Mouse,

coloured with water colour pencils.

Christmas Card For Rudolph Days

At first I want to welcome Annie as a new follower.

So nice you joined in!

I'm also a new follower of you.

(I don't know why, -

but Blogger has given me my second name, "Jensen" as a follower.)

**********

It is very warm here in Europe this summer.

Today we had 37 centigrades!

So a winter / Christmas card is a little bit odd just now.

I made this card for the July challenge over at Rudolph days.

I chose the colours blue and white and added some glitter.

Recipe:

Blue double card A6.

White cardstock, blue and white snippets.

Memory Box: Deer Family die,

Marianne Design: Snowflake die,

Elizabeth Craaft Design "Bunch of Flowers" die,

Marvy Uchida snowflake punch.

The three stars are leftovers from a star border punch (Artoz).

On the embellishment and the edges of the card

I have added some glitter.

Takkekort med motiv av Beccy

Når en har hatt rund dag

 og gjerne vil sende personlige takkekort til hver enkelt,

blir det en del kort å lage.

Jeg har valgt å gjøre det enkelt,

siden jeg ikke har så mye tid til disposisjon.

Likevel ønsker jeg at hvert kort skiller seg litt ut fra de andre.

For de fleste kortene mine har jeg valgt blomstermotiv

laget av Beccy Muir,

alle fargelagt av kunstneren selv.

Stilen min er omtrent alltid CAS,- uten unntak.

Slik også her.

For dette kortet brukte jeg:

Creme dobbelt kort, A6;

Papir: Bringmann;

Creme og hvitt  restepapir;

Spellbinders Oval og Circle dies, Cuttlebug;

MS blondepunch;

Brun distress ink.

Teksten er skrevet på PC.
