I made a stack of Christmas cards. And they were quick Christmas cards. I include a small tutorial to show you how I made these.

First you gather your supplies. A piece of watercolor paper, a stamp (I used the pine tree from Lovely as a Tree), some Stampin' Write Markers and a Stampin' Spritzer.

You start with colouring your tree with the Stampin' Write markers, I used Old Olive and Early Espresso with my tree.

Spritz your stamp with water and stamp image on you piece of watercolor paper.
When you hold it down for 3 seconds of less you get a watercolor look.

When you hold you stamp on the paper a little bit longer you get a more defined look.

My preference was the watercolor look.

I glued my stamped piece to Crumb Cake cardstock and tied some Cherry Cobbler Bakers's Twine around my card to finish it of.

A Sympathy card.

This is not the type of card I like to make. But when I do have to make one I try to make a nice one, even if that sounds a bit silly.

At the moment I'm following a great Online Card Class called Heat Wave and it's all about heat embossing. And for homework we had to make a project with what we learned.

I first inked up my stamp with versa mark and then inked it up with Crumb Cake ink. I then used clear embossing powder and used my heat tool to melt the powder. I now have a lovely embossed flower branch and it's easy to color the leaves and the flowers. I used Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Cajun Craze Markers.

Happy Anniversary

Today is our Wedding Anniversary. We got married 23 years ago. It has flown by!

Here is a picture of us on our Wedding Day.

And here is the card I made for my husband Jack.
I used the Mini Treatbag Thinlits to make a little bag in which I put my card.
I played with some new products which will be available to you on Juni 1st.

Paper Pumpkin Kit April 2016

I loved the Paper Pumpkin Kit from April. I love making home decor and this wreath was so easy to assemble.

We got a bonus stamp set this month because Paper Pumpkin celebrated its 3rd year and their one millionth kit. I made this card with that stamp set. I CASed it from the flyer. I'll make more this afternoon.

Would you also like to receive a Paper Pumpkin kit in your mailbox every month? it's as easy as one, two, three! Just go to my online store and give yourself a subscription. Have fun.

It's Party time

It's my husbands birthday today so naturally I made him a card. I CASed the card from a card I saw on the Wplus9 website. I love CAS-ing. I have had no inspiration for quite some time now and this way I'm still crafting.

Weekly Deals

Did you see the Weekly Deals this week? Absolutely great products lowered in price for just one week.

I made a card for a friend who had bad news this week. Just to give some support.

I used the Ornate Tag Topper punch on this card. I punched a piece of Whisper White to make an decorative element. This punch is nog just for tags.

Stampin with Markers and a Stampin' Block!

This is one of my most favorite techniques. You color with your choice of markers on a Stampin' Block, mist it lightly with water and place the block on a piece of paper. You never get the same result twice. Let it dry and finish with your choice of stamps. I made my card into a sympathy card. I do not like black and white for sympathy cards. I like this better.
The markers I used are in the Weekly Deals, only $ 11,25.

All products are for sale in my online store. You can shop 24/7. 

Weekly Deals

I didn't do much crafting the last week because I traveled to Texas where my husband had a reunion. It was totally fun but I hope to get some crafting done this week.

But I do have the Weekly Deals here for you. You can always order through my online shop, see link to the right, or through email.

The Weekly Deals

This week I have 5 lovely products for you all.

Check them out!

See that Punchboard? It's the Envelope Punch Board. 

And you can make envelopes with it!

Of course.

 But also lovely boxed in all sort of sizes. 

For a gift card.

Or to make a box that holds 3 3" square cards with matching Envelopes, of course made with the Envelope Punch Board.

Birthday card

I haven't pledged myself yet to the "#imbringingbirthdaysback" movement yet but I do send out birthday cards. And at the moment I have to start way in advance because most of the cards I have to send have The Netherlands as destination and that takes a bit more time.

So this card is almost where it should be by now.

I used the Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack for this card. And the Number Of Years stamp set.
