Happily Ever After

Stamp-Stempel : Marianne Design(Don & Daisy) - SU ( Lot's of thoughts)

Today i've made this card with a new stamp i bought today.

I loved the image so much thinking of me and my daughter.

I do see us sitting like that after she is coming out of school and talk about the day.

When i told my daughter about this image telling her it looked like us.

She asked if the little girl could have a blue ribbon in her hair and a blue dress.

Little me is colored in a pink dress because i love to see my self in a dress.

But i don't have the figure to ware one also i don't feel comfy in it.

I have black hair but only black would be just a black spot on the card.

So i used some dark blue as well.

I have used the tip from dear Mary of the great blog Where's My Creativity

 to using a tekst on the front of the card.

Cause i have dificulty's ading the tekst great on a card.

This would be our happy time in a happy place...Happily Ever After...

I'm entering this card to the challenges :

Just a Card with Love

Stamp/Stempel : Stampin Up

This is another card with an image i've colored some days ago.

I was so tired of trying to make cute scrap cards.

I had to make something easy and simple.

With this card i had difficulty's with adding the tekst,so i leave it out.

Later on i will ad a tekst inside the card.

The bumper and the door aren't that bright as showing on the picture.

I'm entering this card to the challenge : Simon Says Stamps - Everything Goes : nr. .659

Bundle of Love

Stamp-Stempel : Stampin Up

2 days ago i was playing with some stamps and try to color them.

Some didn't worked out great,bleeding of the ink,choose the wrong color inkt etc.

The idea of this card was to make it sitting/lying on a cloud with stars around it.

Because of the Stars Circle Die i have used.

Again i have tried to combine the papers and inkt much better.

But with the Peapod it didn't worked out that well.

I found out i haven't got great markers of green.

I have tried to make the Peapod  some darker to make it more the same of the rest.

But i do like the Pea how it turned out.

Happy Easter

Stamp-Stempel : Stampin Up

Yesterday i had to clean up my desk.

I wasn't able to to do anything at all!

After that was done i had to make some flowers with the tissuepaper and some dies.

You can see 2 of the flowers i've made.

I think it work out quit well.

The egg of the little chicken is paper pierced.

At first i was trying to make an elegant easter card.

As you can see with the doily and the big egg.

But when i started with the little chicken it didn't turned out that elegant at all.

So i thought who care's i'll do both.

I am also still struggling with adding tekst on my cards.

But with this one it was no problem.

 

Hip Hip Hooray - Hiep Hiep Hoera

Stamps/Stempels : ECG,Mandy,Martha Stewart

I always wanted to do some banners/flagline on my card.

And i finally did a shot to use them on an card.

The green leaves i've punched out and stamped with the Martha Stewart punch/stamp in one.

I inked the stamp with Ranger Clear Resist Pad to create the fine lines.

-

Ik heb altijd al eens zo'n vlaggenlijn willen gebruiken op mijn kaart.

En eindelijk is het gelukt om een poging te wagen om ze te gebruiken op mijn kaart.

De groene blaadjes heb ik uit geponst en gestempeld met de Martha Stewart Pons/Stempel in een.

Ik heb de stempel beinkt met Ranger Clear Resist Pad om die nerfjes te krijgen.

BabyCard

Stamp-Stempel : SU-Mandystamp
TonicstudioDie : Stars Circle Die

I have made this card because i want to make a sweet card.

Well what is sweeter then a baby that is coming.

I made it with in my mind the teacher of my daughter.

I still combined the pink with the blue,

so you can go either way when the baby comes.

The idea was to got some flowers in the little buggy.

But i thought of that when i already glued the buggy on the paper.

So it was difficult to get the flowers etc.on it.

The blue flowers and the butterfly i've made from tissuepaper.

And a Martha Stewart punch and some dies.

I figured out that if you fold the tissue paper some times 

you can get great flowers,butterfly's etc.

I also tried the Stars Circle Die with the tissue paper.

Wow what a result.

So i will use that often.

I would enter this card in the following challenge:

Simon Says Stamps - Use an Arrow nr.139

My daughter's old/new Cow and Many Thanks - Mijn dochter's nieuwe/oude koe en heel veel dank

 Today we received my daughter's old cow back from my co-worker.

We have asked if she could do something about it

cause it almost 8 years old.

And was not the cow it use to be.

So this is her new cow.

She is verry happy with it.

Stamp/Stemper : Stampin Up
Die : Stars Circle Tonic Die

This is what i have made also for her.

Inside the giftpaper is a hugh box of chocolate.

Thank You and an received card - Dank je wel en een gekregen kaart

Stamp-Stempel : SU(tekst)-Image Unknow for me

This card i've made yesterday evening.

I try really hard to combine all the colors 

of the image with the papers 

and the embelishments.

But i still found it very hard to work things out.

Maybe i have to got more products 

from one company instead of just collect 

what i like in the store's.

Also try to make it more girly(?) with

with the doily and the white border.

I do notice that i'm changing my style a lot.

In the beginning i've made cards 

real simple and straight.

Also my cards had more white

then i'm using now days.

So i'm making progress i think.

When i'm think of it 2013 is just started.

And now i have already made more cards 

then i did the last 2 years.

Fingers crossed if it will stay this way.

This card my daughter received 

from a woman also a member from 

kaarten maken met Tiets:

 http://www.home-made-cards-by-siw.blogspot.nl

She got some tickets for a zoo.

I had won some tickets but they where to much

for me to use because it was to far

to go all that time and nearly expired.

I only had asked if she would send my daughter 

a card because my daughter is always

very upset that she never receive any mail.

The only mail she get is from persons 

we do not want to see anymore.

And was also legally being confirmed 

that we,but the most important my daughter

never have to meet again.

But they are still doing things that is not good.

Anyway today we have received this 

really cute card in the mail from her.

She was exited to open the envelop.

And was SOOOO happy when she see 

this cute  card.

There was also some embelishments.

I have given it to my daughter.

She want's to make her own cards,necklace's 

and bracelets and she is doing that

better then me.

I wasn't able to make a picture 

of the embellishment's.

I have search more then an hour for my camera.

And in the mean time my daughter 

has already begon with the stuff she got.

Congratulations - Gefeliciteerd

Stamp-Stempel : Nellie Snellen(Snookie) -Mandystamp (Congratulations-Gefeliciteerd)

I received my first Flexmarker yesterday.

I ordered the G457 Grass cause i didn't had the correct color green for grass 

and sometimes for other things to color.

At first i found it very difficult to use it.

It wasn't like copics or prisma's (what i normally use) at all.

I thought i buy a mistake at first.

Also the coloring of this dragon was so strange and the green was not the green i was hoping for.

On some piece of paper i was testing the flexmarker if it blend well with the copic ciao G94 Green.

After searching on the internet i did read that it would be possible.

When i tried it on the dragon i was verry surprised how it worked well together.

And now i'm loving it how it turned out.

Also i'm thinking that i have used to much flowers in the corner,but i can't change that.

Even with the flowers i'm happy with the result of the card.

Again i was looking on the blog of :Where's My Creativity .

And i saw her beautiful card and coloring of her dragon.

And i just opened the package to take the flexmarker out.

I new i had this stamp for a long time but never did something with it.

Cause i didn't new how to color it good.

So now i had an example to use.

Hope she doesn't mind that i was copying her these 2 times.

Thinking of You - Denkend aan jou

Stamps/Stempels : Sarah Kay,SU

Today i got another card to show.

Nothing special about it.

The only thing is that i didn't had some flowers or leaves that looked like the colors from the paper or the image.

So i take some white paper and i colored it with some copics and prisma's i used on the image to.

And i punched the little flowers and leaves out.

I'm very happy with the result so now i don't have to panic when i don't have any embellishment to use.

Also the 3 drewdrops i colored with copics from clear to pink.

-

Vandaag weer een kaartje om te laten zien.

Niet veel bijzonders er aan op te merken.

Ik heb alleen wit papier gekleurd met copics en prisma's die ik ook gebruikt heb om het stempelafdrukje in te kleuren.

En daar uit de bloemen en blaadjes geponst.

Congratulations - Gefeliciteerd

Stamps/Stempels : SU(Tekst)-ECG(Girl-Meisje)
Dies : MFT(Clouds)Quickutz(Balloons-Ballonnen)

Today i can show you another card.

I did make it cause i saw a card on this blogpost : Where's My Creativity?

I watch this blog everyday and even go back to older posts.

And i saw this awesome card.

And i just LOVED the cloud dies from MTF.

I just had to have it.

Recently scrapbookdepot.nl sells them too.

Yeah lucky me cause i can not order out side my own country.

So when i saw them i just had to buy them.

It's my late christmas present and also to give me some happy thoughts after having a lot of problems for the last 2 years.

That also is related with my daughter and our safety as well.

Today i received the dies,but i didn't realized that it wasn't the clouds from this card so i got the smaller version.
But who care's i'm still a happy girl.

And i just had to make the card a bit smaller.

It didn't look the same at all.

I had to deal with what kind of image
 i should use with the clouds.

And i find out i had some balloons i didn't use for ages.

I thought it would work out together perfectly.

And it would be fun to have something 

hanging on the balloons swell.

The face of the girl was hilarious although the arms of the girl isn't correct if she is hanging in the air.

That's why i place her this way on the card.

Also i found it difficult to color the inside of her mouth.

And the only way i could think of was to color it this dark.

I thought black would be to dark.

I hope you like it a lot,just like i did to make it.

Valentine -ValentijnStamp

This card and little bag with sweets i've made the day before valentine's day for my daughter.

She was so exited about this whole day.

She loved the card and bad very much,but i think the sweets more...

-

Dit kaartje en klein zakje met snoep had ik de dag voor valentijns dag gemaakt voor mijn dochter.

Ze was enorm enthousiast over deze dag.

Ze vond de kaart en het zakje helemaal leuk,maar ik denk de snoepjes meer... 

Easter - Pasen

Stamp/Stempel : Close to my heart(christmasset i whiped the word Santa /
kerstset ik heb het woord kerstman weg gehaald )

After being away for some time i'm back with an card i've made for my collage.

She has been moving out to another house and i just had to make a card for her.

The stamp of the house and the clouds i've made from an SU rollerstamp.

I did read on the internet that a lot of people cut in their rollerstamps.

And i had this with some other rollerstamps for some years and did nothing with them.

I found out that the roller wasn't that great for me to use.

So finally i made the hugh step last week to cut in them.

And it was awesome to do.

So now i got a lot of 'new'stamps that i can use.

And also some clouds i wanted with some cute little birds to.

-

Na een rijdje weg geweest te zijn ben ik terug met een kaart die ik heb gemaakt voor een collega.

Ze is verhuisd en ik moest dit kaartje voor haar maken.

De stempel van het huis en de wolken heb ik van een SUrollerstempel.

Ik had heel vaak op het internet gelezen dat mensen in hun rollerstempels knipte.

En deze met nog een paar andere rollerstempels had ik al jaren maar er niks mee gedaan omdat een rollerstempel toch niets voor mij was.

Zo uit eindelijk heb ik vorige week toch de grote stap genomen om er in te knippen.

En het was geweldig om te doen.

Dus heb ik nu 'nieuwe' stempels die ik kan gebruiken.

En ik heb zelfs wat wolken en kleine lieve vogeltjes.

Christmas Card - Kerstkaart

Yesterday evening i was having fun 

after finishing the card i showed you yesterday.

I had stamped a lot of images some christmas related.

And some weren't christmas related.

And i found out that i love to color and cut them out.

I got a lot of images waiting to be used all colored and cutting out of the paper.

That's my new kind of hobby but not to detailed as i see on a lot of blogs.

I'm not that patient with it.

About 2 years ago i wouldn't have thought about cutting out my images.

But now i'm doing nothing more then cutting them.

-

Gisterenavond heb ik het naar mijn zin gehad

nadat ik de kaart af had die ik gisteren heb laten zien.

Ik had toen een heleboel afdrukjes gestempeld waar van de helft kerst 

gerelateerd was en de andere helft niet.

Ik heb gemerkt dat ik het heerlijk vind om ze in te kleuren en uit te knippen.

Dat is mijn nieuw soort hobby geworden.

Ik heb nu een heleboel afdrukjes klaar liggen om te gebruiken

allemaal ingekleurd en uitgeknipt.

Maar niet zo gedetailleerd als ik zo vaak zie op een heleboel blogs.

Ik ben niet zo rustig ermee.

Ongeveer 2 jaar geleden moest ik er niet aan denken om ze allemaal uit te knippen.

Maar nu kan ik niets anders doen dan ze juist uit te knippen.

Stamp/Stempel - My Mind's Eye

For matching all the papers i do find the tip on the blog of prairie paper and ink

very useful to use the 6x6 paperpads and use only the papers in the pad.

Cause of course they are all matching by colors etc.

But i don't have to forget when i color the images i have to stick 

to the colors of the papers as well.

As you can see on the image i have already colored it 

and then i choose the papers.

So the jack of the little guy isn't matching with any color on the card.

But for me it wasn't that bad at all,now he really pops out.

As you can see again no tekst on the front of the card.

Some how i can't get it over me to use an tekst also.

-

Voor de papierkeuze vind ik de tip op de blog van prairie paper and ink

erg handig om de 6x6 papierblokken te gebruiken.

En dan ook alleen het papier uit die blokken omdat die natuurlijk

al bij elkaar passen etc.

Maar ik moet niet vergeten om tijdens het inkleuren van de afdrukjes

mij ook aan de kleuren te houden van het papier.

Zo als je kan zien heb ik het afdrukje al gekleurd en er later het papier bij gezocht.

Dus het jasje van die kleine gozer past niet bij al het papier van de kaart.

Maar voor mij was dat zo slecht nog niet,nu springt hij er goed uit.

Ook kan je zien dat ik weer geen tekst heb aan de voorkant van de kaart.

Om een of andere reden krijg ik het niet voor elkaar om daar een tekst te gebruiken

Happy Easter - Vrolijk Pasen

Stamp/Stempel : Do Crafts -Unknown Dutch tekst / Tekst is onbekend
Punch/Pons : Fence-Martha Stewart / Hek-Martha Stewart
Oval-Stampin Up / Ovaal - Stampin Up

Yesterday i had stamped some images

 and i had already layered the designpapers

 on the white and green paper.

And didn't know what to do with it ,

i was planning to use it with another stamped image.

But that didn't make it as you can see.

I stamped the images this afternoon and i've colored them tonight.

But still didn't know how i could match the images with the papers.

Suddenly i saw the light and the fence on the paper and luckily

  i could match these guys also on the paper.

I don't think the tekst is that great in that corner.

I found it for some strange reason very difficult 

to create a tekst on the front of the card.

-

Gisteren had ik wat andere afdrukjes gestempeld 

en ik had het papier al helemaal beplakt.

Ik wist alleen niet meer wat ik met het papier aan moest omdat 

de echte stempelafdruk die ik er voor bedoeld had het niet heeft gered 

om op de kaart te komen zo als je ziet.

Dus vanmiddag deze afdrukjes gestempeld en vanavond ingekleurd.

Maar wist nog niet hoe ik het allemaal bij elkaar moest voegen.

Plotseling zag ik het licht en het hekje op het papier

 en kon ik gelukkig deze jongens er bij combineren.

Ik vind de tekst in de hoek niet geweldig maar om een of andere vreemde reden

vind ik het erg moeilijk om een tekst te zetten op de voorkant van de kaart.

Happy Birthday - Hartelijk Gefeliciteerd

Stamp - Stempel : Eat Cake Graphic , 

This card i've made for my boss,it's friday his birthday.
He love's birds and i was planning to do something with that.
Also he have an supermarket and i was also planning on do something with that either.
But it didn't worked out that well.
I did have the stamp of the cake and i did like to use it for a manly card.
And i have a laugh about the cute girl with the plate wanting some cake to.
Anyway maybe it's just me who is laughing about it...
I do find it hard to make a manly card ,cause you can't do flowers,ribbons,fluffythings etc.
Well unless it's a womansman then its okay.
Anyway i hope you like it and i'm curious how you would make you birthdaycard for an man.
Sorry for the picture's,still with a mobile and bad light.

Dit kaartje heb ik gemaakt voor mijn baas,die vrijdag jarig is.
Hij houdt van vogels en heeft een supermarkt en daar was ik van plan om iets mee te doen.
Maar dat werd het beide niet echt.
Ik had deze stempel van de taart en vond het wel geschikt voor een mannelijke kaart.
Ook moest ik erg lachen om het meisje met het bord die graag wat taart wilt.
Maar misschien ben ik de enige die daar om moest lachen.
Ik vond het wel moeilijk om er een mannelijke kaart voor te maken,want je kan niks met lint,bloemen,fluffiedingen etc.
Wel tenzij het een vrouwenman is dan is het goed.
Maar goed ik hoop dat je hem leuk vind en ben benieuwd hoe jij je
verjaardagskaart maakt voor een man.

Sorry voor de foto's,nog steeds met een mobieltje en slecht licht gemaakt.

I would like to enter this card to the next challenge:

Inside of the card: I used the same stamp set.
Cut out some bubbles.

Binnen in de kaart: Ik heb de zelfde stempelset gebruikt.
De bubbels zijn uitgeknipt.

This card i've made today also.

I'm on the cardmaking train!!!

This afternoon i stamped the images on clairefontaine paper 

and let it dry very good,cause on a other time i tried it and that  didn't went that good at all.

This evening i colored the images and cut them out.

For this ones i did already choose the papers that i wanted to use.

And i did try to combine it with the markers i used so everything would match.

On the picture the colors of my stamped image are to hard.

In real they are much softener and match better.

The sketch came from the dutch club : Card Making With Tiets.

As i told earlier i wanted to try to make more scrap cards and i do think this went pretty ok.

Although i do find it hard to match al the papers together.

I did find a good tip from the site :

  Prairie Paper & Ink on an video she explains how she match the designpapers.

She uses always the papers from one designer paperpad.

And i thought :yes that make sense,and i tried it with this card.

But i still found it difficult to decide witch paper goes first and witch goes second etc.

Anyway as a big serious start of scrapcards i do find this good enough.

-

Deze kaart heb ik vandaag ook al gemaakt.

Ik ben op dreef!!!

Vanmiddag heb ik de afdrukjes gestempeld op clairefontaine paper 

en heb het goed laten drogen,omdat een andere keer ik het ook geprobeerd had

 en dat niet goed uitpakte.

Vanavond heb ik alles gekleurd en uitgeknipt.

Voor deze keer had ik al het papier uitgezocht wat ik wilde gebruiken.

En heb ik geprobeerd het met de markers te vergelijken zodat alles zou passen.

Op de foto zijn de kleuren van de afdrukjes te hard.

In het echt zijn ze zachter van kleur en passen ze beter.

De sketch kwam van de club : Kaarten Maken Met Tiets.

Zoals ik al eerder heb verteld wil ik vaker proberen om scrap kaarten te maken 

en ik vind dat het bij deze kaart aardig is gelukt.

Al hoewel ik het nog wel moeilijk vind om het papier bij elkaar te laten passen.

Ik heb wel een goede tip gevonden op deze site:

Prairie Paper & Ink in een video legde ze uit hoe zij het designpapier bij elkaar laat passen.

Ze gebruikt zelf altijd papier van een designpaperblok.

En toen dacht ik :Ja dat is slim,en ik heb het met deze kaart ook uitgeprobeerd.

Maar ik vond het nog steeds lastig om te bepalen welk papier als eerste ging

en welk papier als tweede etc.

Enfin voor een serieuze poging om te starten met scrapkaarten vind ik deze goed genoeg.

I like to enter this card to the challenges:

A ScrapCard - Een ScrapKaart

Stamp/Stempel : ECG

I always fancy those cards of people that are full of beautiful designs 

and have also an scrap layout as well.

I'm not like that;picking all different kind of design papers and colored papers that match perfectly.

I am capable to choose 2 different colors of papers and also 1 design paper.

But not more than that.

This week i'm already doing things i normally don't do.

I'm even making cards more then i thought.

And have stamped images already waiting to use colored and cut out.

So this card is way over my comfort zone.

I do like it but i do miss something also.

Does somebody figure it out for me??

-

Ik bewonder altijd de kaarten van mensen die vol met schitterende designs zijn 

en ook nog eens een scrap layout hebben.

Ik ben zo niet; verschillend design papier kiezen en ook nog eens gekleurd papier 

dat perfect bij elkaar past.

Ik ben in staat om 2 gekleurde papieren uit te zoeken en 1 design papier.

Maar niet meer dan dat.

Deze week ben ik toch al bezig met dingen die ik normaal niet doe.

Ik heb al meer kaarten gemaakt dan ik had gedacht.

En ik heb nu al genoeg gestempelde afdrukjes klaar die gebruikt kunnen worden,

gekleurd en uitgeknipt en al.

Dus dit kaartje is zo ver weg van mijn eigen stijl/prettige manier van werken.

Ik vind hem wel leuk maar mis er toch iets aan.

Weet iemand het misschien voor mij?

Dream Vacation - Droom Vakantie

This is my dream vacation.

Having a little car and a caravan.(First my drivers license)

And then go with mini-me where ever we wants to go.

Do we see a nice place to stay for a day to play we could.

And also go to France,Belgium,Germany or so.

No worries where to sleep,eat or if it's going to rain.

We should also take the bicycles with us then.

I love to bicycle in the nature.

_

Dit is mijn droom vakantie.

Een kleine auto hebben met een caravan.(eerst mijn rijbewijs)

En dan met kleine meid gaan waar we ook maar naar toe willen.

Zien we een leuke plek om te staan voor een dag om te spelen dan kunnen we dat doen.

En ook naar Frankrijk,Belgie,Duitsland gaan of zo.

Geen zorgen waar we moeten slapen,eten of als het gaat regenen.

En we nemen de fietsen dan wel mee.

Ik hou van fietsen in de natuur.
