Happy Birthday Human

Hi there, everyone! Hopping onto the blog real quick to share my latest birthday card that features a recently purchased "Alien Invasion" clear stamp set by Gerda Steiner Designs. To tell you the truth, once this set was released, I wasn't really impressed by it since I'm not used to working with out-of-this-world stamps. And when I won a 15 USD coupon to the store, I decided to go for it just because I wanted to have something new and different in my collection. That's how I ended up with purchasing these little aliens. Once they arrived ... Gosh, I really fell in love with them and now can't wait to create lots and lots of fun cards with them. And here is what I came up with for my first card:

Hope you've enjoyed today's card! Have a nice day and thanks for stopping by!

You Color My World

Hello, crafty friends! I'm stopping by today to share a new card which was inspired by the current CASometry Challenge 2. Make five. over at umichka.com. It's time for the second stage of the challenge where we are to create 5 clean and simple cards with the same stamp set for all the stages. And here is my second card with Happy Hoppy Bunny Set from Gerda Steiner Designs. This time I chose the picture with the bunny blowing hearts towards someone he adores the most:) The background was made with 6 Distress Inks (squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, peacock feathers, blueprint sketch, picked raspberry, and spiced marmalade), a sentiment - with Harold's Abcs by Lawn Fawn. And now, without further ado, let's get right to the card:

Bright Colors

Hi, everyone! I've been quite busy these past few days with practically no time to get to my crafting room, that's why, today I'm sharing with you a card which was created a while ago. I fell so in love with "Butterfly Kisses" clear stamp set from Mama Elephant that I decided to use these beauties on one of my cards again. As always, best company for them would be some cutie from Gerda Steiner's stamps. This time Happy Hoppy Bunny was chosen for this role. And now, without further ado, let's get right to the card:

I hope you've enjoyed today's card! Have a nice day and thanks for stopping by!

Gerda Steiner May Challenge - Mouse with Drink

Hello, crafty friends! I'm stopping by today to share a recent creation of mine which was inspired by May image from Gerda Steiner's Monthly Progressive Challenge. The moment I saw this lovely image I knew exactly what kind of card I was going to create to make it to stand out from all other cards which are going to be submitted for this months challenge. With lots of our clients travelling back and forth to Bahamas now, I felt like creating my own paradise on this card. So with the help of distress inks and Copic markers I came up with the following card:

I would not mind to go that far to see this beautiful sunset? What about you?

I hope you've liked today's card! Have a nice day and thanks for stopping by!

Some Bunny Special

Hello, everyone! I'm stopping by today to share a new card which was inspired by the current CASometry Challenge 2. Make five. over at umichka.com. The main idea of the challenge is to use the same stamp set for all its stages. So all you need to do is to choose one stamp set you want to play with and use it in all 5 stages, and, of course, make it CAS. For this challenge, I've decided to use one of my favorite stamp sets of all times - Happy Hoppy Bunny Set from Gerda Steiner Designs:

I still didn't have enough time to properly use these stamps in my creations, that's why I've decided to enter this challenge with this stamp set. And here is the first of five cards that I will make with this set over the course of the challenge:   

As you might have already noticed, I'm very new to CAS cards, but, like they say, it's never too late to learn. And Anna's challenge will be a great opportunity to master my skills:)

Hope you've liked today's card! Have a nice day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Calling All Critters

Hello, everyone! I'm stopping by today to share a new birthday card which was inspired by the current Lawnscaping Challenge "Calling All Critters". For this challenge, I've decided to use all the recently purchased Lawn Fawn clear stamp sets which I still didn't have enough time to use in my creations properly. So the following sets got today's focal point: "Mom + Me", "Joy To The Woods", and "Snow Day". A little bit of blending with Distress Inks and the card is ready:)
