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.

Tuesday Throwdown

Snippets Birthday Card

First of all: Welcome to my blog, Guri!

Så kjekt å ha kontakt med norske bloggere! 

*****

I hope I now will be "back" among crafters and bloggers again.

I have had weeks of no inspiration long enough, I think.

Yesterday I sat down cutting flowers out of scraps.

There are so many leftovers which I don't want to throw away!

So the following cards will be a bit "scrappy", I think.

For this birthday card I used:

White double card A6;

White card stock for the mat;

Creme, red and green scrap papers;

Embossing folder: Cuttlebug;

Foliage die: Cottage Cutz "Ivy";

Flowers: EK Success punches;

Dark green leaves: Atelier Terziev punch;

Stamp: Altenew (Prize from Pixie's Crafty Workshop!);

Rhinestones, pens and brown distress ink.

Gute Besserung

Heute bekam ich die Frage,

ob ich eine Gute-Besserung-Karte machen könnte,

und es musste schnell gehen, damit die Karte

mit der heutigen Post abgehen würde.

Der Patient, der plötzlich ins Krankenhaus kam, ist Musiker.

Also, dachte ich,

auf dieser Karte sind vielleicht Noten besser

als ein Blumenstrauss.

Aber ein kleines Blümchen möchte ich auch dabei haben.

Leider war es schon so spät am Nachmittag,

dass das Licht ziemlich schlecht war.

Für meine Karte habe ich verwendet:

Doppelkarte, A6, weiss;

Chamois Papier;

Restepapier: Blau, weiss, grün und rot;

Stanz-Schablonen:

Noten: Memory Box, 

Textplatte: Unbekannt,

Blätter: Cottage Cutz Ivy.

Blume: EK Success und Atelier Terziev Punches.

Text am Computer geschrieben.

Distress Ink, Glasperlen und Filzstift.

I have had this image from Beccy for a long time now,

but this is the first time I use it.

With another background and another flower added,
for instance a poinsettia,

I think I also will use it on a Christmas card.

A6 double card, cream;
Light green paper for the mat;
Pink, brown and cream scrap papers;
Image: Beccy (From "A Light In The Darkness" set);
Flowers and foliage: EK Success and Atelier Terziev punches;
