Heartlace

To finish today I ended up doing an all soft card using a bingo card from Magnolia down under challenge.  I just loooove magnolia images so it's so much fun to play around with them.  I left the sentiment out because I have lots of French friends and most of my sentiments are English :(

In the background I used the walkway from magnolia for the cute flowers ;)

In the magnolia down under challenge, I have the buttons, glitter/bling (it's the little bling on the top of her dress) and polka dots.  I also used a brand new technique that I had never used but definely will again PAPER piecing.  I did the dress that way and I'm really really happy with the results.

I will be entering my little card in a few challenges ;)

Voici la dernière carte de la soirée.  Je l'ai laissé sans texte afin que la personne qui l'utilisera puisse le faire comme il le désire.  Étant donné que mes estampes de textes sont surtout en anglais ce n'est pas pratique pour ceux qui désirent obtenir mes cartes ;)

À demain peut-être.

Easter card

My last card of this afternoon is another little rabbit for my step-mom.  This one is a silhouette and is from Little miss muffet beautiful digi images.

I'm entering in:

I was going on my Bestee's blog Cinzia-creations to check out her new cards and I noticed a challenge with a sketch that I didn't know.  It was a beautiful sketch so I just had to try it out.  Here's my take on this challenge and it was a great sketch to use with another challenge.

Owl Always love you

Hello everyone.  Tonight I was desperately lacking inspiration... well I did have some inspiration but the project would have been too long for a weeknight... so I decided to tackle a challenge and try to get some inspiration from that.  I've been working with sketches for the last few days... and it was hard tonight to come up with a concept but guess what... I think I managed to do a few challenges again with one simple little card.

To make this card I used:

• A book that I tore some pages from and used vintage photo distress ink on it
• A Stampendous sentiment and I'm not sure where the owl came from because the sentiment usually goes with another image...

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

• Simon says stamp and show - show your handmade background
• The pink elephant challenge - use kraft in your projects
• The stamping boutique challenge - CAS clean and simple.  This is always a hard one for me to keep to a bare minimum but I think this card was good for this
• Going-buggy - use something not intended for card making ( I tore out pages from an actual book and distressed them! )

So that's it for tonight.  I'm pretty happy with my little creation.  I think I have just the right person for this card ;)

Pour mes amis(es) francophones, je manquais de temps ce soir pour faire le projet que j'aurais vraiment désiré effectué.  J'ai donc regardé les défis que j'avais pris en note et j'ai pensé à ce que je pourrais faire rapidement afin d'en combler certains.  J'ai déjà je crois la personne à qui cette carte pourrait s'adresser.  En passant le mot Owl veut dire hibou mais ce prononce comme "I" qui veut dire je... donc "je vais toujours t'aimer... petit jeu de mot anglais.  Par contre le livre qui est déchiré lui est en français!

Sur ce bonne nuit et à demain peut-être?!?

Vicky

Best buds

Today was another gorgeous day here!  I spent it inside at a great excel class but couldn't wait to be doing something crafty.

So I made a little card tonight.  I know that this card is a boy's card... but I was thinking of my bestee when I made it.  This is why I chose this sentiment for the card.

I used the same fantastic sketch as yesterday:

But I turned it around and did the same thing to the sentiment ;)

To make this card I used the following:

• Measure by measure embossing folder from Cuttlebug
• my square cm punch
• Some craps of papers (if you search my previous blog entries I'm sure you will find this paper elsewhere ;) )
• And the digi stamp from Bugaboo Best buds.  It's one of the great stamps that I won for the humor challenge.  I just love it.  I didn't have a lot of images that fitted for boys.  Now I do.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

• Catchthebugblog - my 3rd entry ;)  I love their sketch!  So yes it was the sketch
• Audsentiments  - a song (and yes it's my 5th entry but there are so many songs lol this one is one of the ones that I really love check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sMKX22BHeE )
• Whimsy inspires - wet or dry embossing (in my case I used dry embossing)
• The poodles parlour - my 3rd entry to anything goes
• Love to create challenge - anything goes

That's it tonight ;)  I'll be back tomorrow I would think.  I love this way tooo much... much better than TV

Voici ma dernière création.  C'est la troisième carte que je fais en utilisant ce croquis.  Je crois que j'ai quand même créer des cartes qui sont différentes.

À demain!

Vicky

WOW

It's been a good weekend and the start of the week is pretty fantastic as well!!!  I went to check who won the Stamp and create candy and guess what it was me ;)))  After a long day of training on excel it was fun to be back in my craft-room.  I organized my new copics pens (a great crafter I know was not using them anymore and offered to sell them to me YAY!)  So happy and most of the colors she had were not the one I had... so it was a great continuation to my new collection.

Then I crafted a great little card with the great Bugaboo stamps freebie.  If you don't know this site you HAVE to check it out.  It's amazing and their freebies are as well!!!!  So here's my card:

I used the same sketch as earlier this week but it was a completely different look with this card:

To make my card I used:

• prismacolor coloring pencils
• Stickles for the icing
• A cuttlebug embossing folder to make the flowers
• scraps of papers from different other projects ;)  love it when I can reuse
• and obviously the piece the resistance the Pigcupcakes digi image

I'm entering in the following challenges:

• Catch the bugblog - sketch
• Daisydoodlescreativechallenges - tie it up and I used a digi image
• Wagsnwhiskersrubberstamps - use green

So that's it for tonight.  I'm off to dream of new cards ;)))

Vicky

Candy

There's the chance of great candy at Polkadoodle go and check it out! ;)))

So I ended up making yet another card... this is really addictive!  I chose this image and colored the little poodle black because I have a little black poodle called Chanel.  Fitting right when we think that the mimi set is the one in Paris?  Chanel and Paris ;)

I used this amazing sketch:

To make it I used:

• Mimi in Paris stamp from Penny Black
• KI Memories paper
• My CM border punch
• x-mas red stickle for the bow

I'm entering this little card in the following challenges:

Sketchsaturday - Sketch

Audsentiments challenge - Song

simple card

It FRIDAY!!!! TGIF!!!  I'll be able to create this weekend ;)  been missing it and last night with the Teacher's conference I was not able to so fun time ahead.  I discovered a new technique going through some beautiful blogs during lunch time today.  So the new technique is "faux embossing".  I couldn't wait to try it out so this is what I did tonight.  And here's the result:

It's far from perfect but it's the 1st try ;)  I used a butterfly punch from Martha Stewart to make the faux embossing and used real heat embossing for the sentiment.  I also realized that I had bought this sentiment over 15years ago... that doesn't make me any younger!

I had lots of fun just realizing this simple card.  Looking forward to tomorrow!!!!

C'est vendredi et je voulais m'amuser ce soir à utiliser une nouvelle technique c'est donc ce que j'ai fait ce soir avec cette carte.

Bonne soirée!!!

Vicky

Missed the blog ;)

I got used to writing here everyday last week.... and crafting everyday.  Spring break is over so back to work I went... and since last night I had my book club I was not able to craft.  I've missed it!!!  It was like withdrawal lol I was dreaming of making cards.... unfortunately when you wake up they are not there...So tonight I had fun.  I created a card 1/2... the other card will be done tomorrow.  I prepared everything but need to stamp and color.  Tonight's card took longer to make than I had expected.  I messed up my 1st attempt... oh well.  I think it turned out pretty good.  I figured that it was a different take to mother's day card since it mentions that home is where the story begins... isn't that what mom's are all about?  Creating a nice home.  Hope you like it as well.

To make this card I used the Stamp from Darcie's JCS143 (the sentiment is from the same stamp group),  I also use a Martha Steward border punch, an embossing folder and one of my CM circle shape for the 2 inside circles.  The little pearls are Robin's nest Dew Drop.

I'm entering this card in a few challenges:

Paper take weekly - one for the girls or mom

Top tip Tuesday - make a really girlie creation

Simon says stamp and show - anything goes

Paper Sundaes - Feminine Flair

Love to create - About the ladies

One stop craft challenge - mother's day with ribbon

Totallystampalicious - a bouquet of flowers

Wagsnwhiskers - Spring break

The pink elephant - TPE 139 inspiration photo of easter colors ;)

So that's it for me for today.  Looking forward to more creating tomorrow night ;)

Vicky

Little Loli

OMG tomorrow will be soooo hard... back to the regular accounting work... I just love the crafting sooo much and will miss doing so many cards.  Hope I can do at least a few during the week nights.  Not tomorrow however as I have a book club meeting.

Anyway, I've been having a blast and getting looots of my cards done.  I might have extra to share lol.  Here's my latest one and possibly the last of today:

• Spellbinder's nestabilities Label 20
• Tim Holtz - mini flourish die
• Paper from K& Cie - classic k margo 12x12

Vicky

Idcool!

My biggest kid is a teenager... and his b-day is coming up so I needed a fun card for him.   I had lots of fun doing this bright card.  Thought it was ironic to use a book in the background... since my big teenage son doesn't like to read all that much and would probably like to tear a few ;)


I used a lot of stuff to make this card:

• Sentiment stamp is from Art Impressions - Just say it
• Paper is from Happy Day 6x6 by Simple Stories (bought at Stamp and create), ATD card stock
• a book bought at the dollar store so I could tear it up ;) and vintage photo distress ink
• my CM tearing tool 
• And finally but definitively not the least my idcool digi image the freebie of this week from Bugaboostamps

I'm entering it in the challenge Catch the bug for the humor ;)  I think the saying was really fitting with a teenager.

Voici une carte pour mon grand ado ;)  J'espère qu'il aimera.

Vicky

Theodore

As mentioned in one of my previous blogs, my brother and sister-in-law are expecting TWINS ;)  I suddenly realized that I had done the announcement cards for them (20 in all) but had not done the congratulations card for when my nephew and niece are born!  So I'm using one of today's post and challenges to help me with the inspiration for this card.  I also discovered a few weeks back Digi images ;)  OMG the possibilities that exists now with these!!!  Can't believe that I didn't know this existed before.  I took a class from Jeanette Comerford (check her blog at Happy thoughts ink spots) and she mentioned digi image... I was thinking ?!?  what are those?  Then I came across a great site Bugaboo stamps. What a wonderful site! Here's my card:

I used the following sketch to do it:

To make this card I used the following material:

• Bazzill Basics Paper cardstock, Colorbök Pattern pack, Le P'tit bloc, ATD -cardstock
• one of my Martha Stewart border punch
• my CM oval shapes
• Theodore (a freebie image from  Bugaboo stamps)

I'm entering it in the following challenges:

• Sketch saturday - the sketch
• Raise the bar - go green

I'm going back to my little room for more creation ;)

Voilà une petite carte pour mon frère et sa conjointe qui attendent impatiemment l'arrivée de leurs jumeaux.

A+

Vicky

Go Braless ?!?

Well this is the last card for the day.  I used a stamped image that I had done with a friend's stamp from Dolly mamas.  I thought this was very fitting for the humor challenge that I wanted to enter.  And yes I'm at the age where the wrinkles are starting to show... lol so should I do what she says?!?  Not sure I'm ready to go that far in the battle against wrinkles lol.

It's fun using somebody else's stamp! ;)  And it's such a fun image to work with.

I'm entering it in the following challenges:

• The poodles parlour - B-Day card
• Catch the bug - Humor

Bonne soirée à tous c'est terminé pour moi pour aujourd'hui ;)

Vicky

Rebecca Raspeberry

I'm really happy with my 2nd card of the day.  Took a long time to make but it turned out really good.  I needed to copy one of the beautiful Kraftinkimmiestamps cards this is the one I chose to copy.... it was hard to choose because they were all pretty!  So I chose Amanda's card:


Here is my take on this:

To make it I used the following:

• My EK Daisy punch
• Papers from K&Cie - Wild raspberry (fitting name for this card) and Colorbok textured cardstock - both were purchased at Winners
• And of course my great Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp Rebecca Raspberry

I'm really happy with my result ;)))

I'm entering it in the following challenges:

• Kraftin kimmie stamps - copy a card
• All sorts challenge - say it with flowers (one of the paper as flowers but mostly the sign that says it all is a flower)
• Crafty catz weekly - mother's day card

Hope you like my take on this card.

Afin de compléter le défi de Kraftin' Kimmie, je devais copier une carte.  Vous pouvez voir en début la carte que j'ai copié.

Vicky

b-day card

We always need B-Day card.  I noticed that I could enter 2 more times in the Thepoodlesparlour so that made me decide to do more cards ;)  I needed the inspiration.  So many possibilitites ;)

I used for this card the same technique that I used in one of yesterday's blog with the inking of the embossing folder.

To make this card I used:

• Happy b-day embossing folder from cuttlebug as well as embossing letters (my 4 kids gave me those for my b-day and this is the 1st time that I used them ;) )
• A nestabilitie die
• The stamp is from Darcie's JCS148

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

The poodles parlour -B-Day card

Love to create - monochromatic color scheme for the blue

The pink elephant - "Lets See Those Layers" (Your card must include at least 3 layers)

Now I'm going back to more creating ;)

On a toujours besoin de nouvelles cartes de fête.  J'ai donc profité de ces défis pour en faire une nouvelle.

Jam Tilda

This was a busy busy afternoon ;)  I have created another card for my sister-in-law who couldn't come to visit with my brother this afternoon.  She's very very pregnant with my twin niece and nephew ;)))  sooo looking forward to meeting these little guys.  So in the meantime I had fun making this little Tilda card.

I used this sketch to make it

To make this card I used paper from Unique papercrafting graphic 45 Once upon a springtime, Latte cardstock matstack from DCWV, Tranquil Cardstock from ATD, Jam Tilda stamp from Magnolia,  Hero Art sentiment.

I want to enter it in the following challenges:

Stamp with fun - green and pink

J'ai profité de l'occasion de la visite de mon frère pour faire une petite carte pour ma belle soeur qui ne pouvait pas venir nous visiter cette après-midi.

Mother's day card

This morning I wanted to try out a new technique that I saw on this fabulous website I really {heart} this site for all the new techniques that I get to try : Split coast stampers

Once I embossed in green... I figured that hey there's a few challenges that I could enter this in.  And I used my brand new little butterflies bought at Srapenmasse on Wednesday.Here's my little creation:

So to make this I used a cuttlebug embossing folder with green distress ink and cardstock from Dollarama, and my little butterflies are made with  Doilies & Exotic Dies - Exotic butterfly small (but hard to make the holes in the wings I believe the card stock might have been too thick or using my cuttlebug was not the best tool for this).

Here are the challenges that I will enter with this card:
Flutter by wednesdays - Spring time and use of butterflies
Divas by design challenge - Use favorite things (here I used my embossing folder from Cuttlebug love those as well as the distress ink to make the green background and I used the embossing technique for the mother's day sign)
Totally stampalicious - Spring design
Paper sundaes - Green
Card crafters circle - orange & green
Simon says stamps - mother's day

Hope you like my little creation.  I will definetly be back with more today ;)  Last day of spring break here and my vacation :(  went by tooo fast but will definetly use this time to craft.

Voici une petite carte que j'ai fait afin d'utiliser une nouvelle technique que j'ai apprise en regardant un site internet.  Tellement agréable d'apprendre des nouvelles choses.
