Stretching your stamps ft. The Greeting Farm and Concord & 9th

Hi Everyone, 

To those of you who celebrated it - hope you had a great Halloween! 

Today I am sharing a spinning/spinner card with you (my first one!), with the use of the gorgeous fairies from The Greeting Farm that I won during summer, and some sentiments from Concord & 9th. 

In order to achieve the end result I had in my mind, I had to alter my stamps a little bit - you can see & hear all about it in my YouTube video - I thought it would be easier to explain all the details that way. 

And here are some photos of my card - somehow, the front panel looks really bendy, and the fairy is nowhere near as cute as she is in person, but I guess we're just entering the dreadful time of poor natural light and crappy photos again, haha!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Have a great week,

More Thank You cards? Yes, please!

Hi Everyone,

This is the last of the "mini series" with thank you cards made with the sentiment stamping technique introduced recently by Jennifer McGuire :o) You will surely see more of that technique in the future, but for now that's all I have! 

This card is quite similar to the one from the first post, however the layout is slightly different (and, of course, the colour combo differs, too!). I'll be totally honest with you here - the different layout was somehow forced on me, since the bottom sentiment simply didn't stamp correctly. But instead of binning the project, I decided to try cutting off the messed up part, and voila - here's the end result! Like I said in my most recent YouTube video - If you can't fix it, make a feature out of it! Well, maybe this time it's not a feature per se, but I definitely stuck to my motto and didn't give up on this card. 

I am entering the card into the following challenges:

The Thank You cards craze continues!

Hello Everyone, 

As promised, I'm back with another card inspired by Jennifer McGuire's sentiment stamping technique, and a colour combination from the Seven Hills Crafts challenge blog. This time, I decided to try stamping over the sentiments, without any masking. I have to say, I like this end result also! It's rather hard to choose a favourite!

What do you think?

I am entering the card into the following challenges:

Seven Hills Crafts - Photo inspiration (this time I used the one to the right)

The Flower challenge - Anything goes

As you might have noticed, I have recently been working on a lot of Thank You cards - that's because a lot of my crafty friends from Instagram sent fabulous 1st birthday cards to my daughter, Amelia, and now it's time for me to thank them. Some of them will be waiting a bit long for the thanks, but it's the thought that counts, right? :o) I still have a few to go, but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel... And then... Christmas cards! I have a feeling I won't manage to make too many this year, but I'll try my best... And yes, the same technique might be used on a few, cause it's so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by,

Mirella
