Lifetime moments .....


Tuesday with Rubber Dance Stamps!

Today I used the stamp *VENEZIA*. Since the stamp is so very pretty, I didn't have to add much more on my card. I applied some colour to the image with Pan Pastels.

The background is embossed, the sentiment die is designed by Tim Holtz. The heart border is one of the newer dies from Sizzix, also designed by Tim Holtz.



Have fun crafting!

Let's capture our memories ♥

Seeing the sketch from Nicole Nowosad, I just knew what to do with it, create a one-layer-card.

I used one of my favorite sentiments from Rubber Dance *SOMETHING WONDERFUL* and the grungy circles from Bo Bunny on Design paper on a black panel, I really like this one!


Have a good weekend and happy crafting!

Box with a loop


Hi, today I'd like to share easy instructions to create a fun little box, which has the advantage that you can use it over and over again, since it's not glued together, just held by the loop.
I started out with two strips of cardstock measuring 2 x 9". I scored them at 1½ and 3½" on both sides and applied distress ink in various colours (Bundled Sage, Stormy Sky and Spun Sugar).




I used my Tag punch from Stampin' Up on both sides, this is what it looks like now:

For a bit more texture I stamped the fishing net with "Bundled Sage" Distress Ink on all sides.
I stamped with Ranger Perfect Medium and used the Stampendous "Detailed White" Embossing powder. The images are from the Rubber Dance Stamps sets "Something Fishy" and "New Retro Beach"


I added some Rub Ons.
After adhering one strip to the other I made the loop from a piece of Chiffon.

Starting from the inside I pulled the loop through one of the openings and went to the opposite side to do the same followed by the other two.
 
As you can see, this is very easy and you can open and close the smart little box again and again.


You find all the stamps I used right here: Rubber Dance Stamps!
Happy crafting!

1-2-3 Get Scrappy ♥

Challenge #24 will be the last 1-2-3 Get Scrappy Challenge.

2 YEARS WITH MELINA AND THE TALENTED GIRLS! IT'S BEEN SO MUCH FUN!

For our last challenge I created a layout with a picture of Sammy, our metal bird. Since we had and still have such a rough time and not much to laugh about, Hubby bought this little guy to cheer me up. It sits in our kitchen window and when you touch it, it moves the head and body for quite a while, so funny :)

From the board I used lots of Black, the Word *HELLO* and a Butterfly.

Here's the July board!
Happy Crafting!

Mini Book with Darkroom Door Stamps ....

A little while ago I was inspired by StampingMathilda (Godelieve), then I was playing with my stamps and stencils and created a little book I gave to my friend Ira ♥

Lazy Summer Days!

The heat inspired me to create this tag with the "Retro"-Lady from Rubber Dance Stamps. The set is called "Take the plunge"! I really love it, it's so very vintage :)


I used water colour paper for the background brushed with 3 different water colours, quick and easy :)

Enjoy the weather and happy crafting ♥
