More spring coming your way... :-)

Good morning Everyone,

Yes, I know, I promised you all some Christmas cards, but today's post is going to be all about spring again! Ooops, I guess I am just having a hard time adjusting to winter ;-)

Anyhow - another triangle trifold card for you. Love how they turn out! And if they have butterflies, lovely colours and are for a loved person - they're even better! :-)

You can find this card over at the Divas By Design challenge blog this week - join us in the "Make it pretty" fun! I am sure we all like making pretty things...!





I am entering the card into the following challenges:
A Gem of a Challenge - Sparkles
Paper Crafting Journey - Bling it up! 

Have a great weekend!

Purple Wedding

Good evening Everyone,

A quick post just to show you one of my recent creations. A friend at worked asked me to make this card for her Goddaughter's wedding. She asked for a purple gatefold card, and since she has seen a few similar creations of mine before, she was rather specific about her order :-)

She was really delighted when I presented the card to her... And I guess it wasn't just a way of her trying to be nice to me - I have heard from fellow colleagues that she showed the card to half the floor, and praised my cards! :-) It's so lovely to get such nice & genuine feedback!

The bride & groom have not seen the card yet, but since no names are mentioned (neither on the card nor in my post) - I am feeling quite confident that me posting the card here won't do any damage! 



Hope you have a great weekend... I need to work on finishing my wedding "thank you cards" (high time -it was 3 months ago already!!!eeek!), and then gotta plan on some more Christmas creations, finally! I made a few in the last few days - watch this space, I will post them here soon.

A bit of spring...!

Today I want to share with you a card I made for the Divas By Design challenge blog. The challenge for this week is "use a digi", and our sponsor is Bugaboo Digi Stamps. So many fab designs to choose from! 

For this week's challenge, I decided to use the beautiful Thank you tulip block (you can find it here). The first time I saw this digi, I absolutely fell in love with it! And yes, I know, we're all currently more in the "let it snow" mood, but since I had a lot of sunshine peeking in through the window today, I decided to give a more "springy" card a go. And goodness, it put me in a great optimistic mood! I definitely needed that!

Of course, you know me, I had to use a bit of glitter and glossy accents here and there... And voila! Below you can see the result.




I am entering the card into the following challenges:
I love Promarkers - All that glitters
Cute Card Thursday - Sparkles
Bugaboo Challenge Blog - November anything goes

Let's stay optimistic! Spring will be back...eventually! ;-)

Wedding double-fold card

Today I want to share with you my recent very-favourite style of cards - I call it double fold. They're perfect for special occasions, and I have recently made a few for weddings. This one was, I think, my second attempt at it. Love love LOVE how they turn out, really impressive looking, and whoever I make them for always like them, too! 

Loads of photos today, but I wanted to show you all the little details on the card - stay with me till the end! :-) I will post the other ones I have recently made soon.
