Calender {part 2}

Happy New Years Eve to you all!! :D hope you enjoy all the celebrations....

As promised, here is part 2 of my calendar, if you didn't see the first part, take a look at yesterday's post.

I'm entering it again for this challenge:

 -  Sunshine Creations #4: Season's Greetings

So, here's July - December:

Who doesn't love BBQ in the summer?? Well, this stamp is from Unity. It's called Retro BBQ, but I'm not sure.

I love this flip-flop die from Lil'Inker Designs....

I really like the autumn colors, especially the leaves :) These stamps are from the craft's meow.

My friend's birthday is in October, so I thought she'd like this. The die is again from Lil'Inker Designs. After cutting out the balloons, I colored them using Copics and then I drew the strings.

As soon as I saw this background paper, I HAD to use it. As it often snows in November, I thought this snowflake from Lil' Inker Designs would look nice.

And, last but not least, December is here! This die is from Memory Box. To make the wreath pop, I added some gold liquid pearls.

Hope you liked my first handmade calendar! I hope you all have a wonderful 2013!!!

Calender {part 1}

Hello everybody! As there are only 2 days left of this year, I wanted to share something special with you all...my first handmade calendar!!I think giving calendars as a gift is a wonderful way to celebrate and start the new year :)

I'm entering my calender for this challenge:

- Sunshine Creations #4: Season's Greetings - As I mentioned above, calendars are perfect to celebrate New Year

So...here's part 1 of my calendar

The stamps here are from Lawn Fawn "Making Frosty Friends".

Here in Switzerland, there's a festival called "Fasnacht" where you wear a costume. I used the hat from "Making Frosty Friends" and the racoon is from "Critter in the Forest", Lawn Fawn. The mustache is from a itty bitty set from Unity.

Who doesn't love the first flowers in springtime? The stamps are from PTI. One of them is called "Year of Flowers".

April Showers :) I used dies from Lil'Inker Designs...I love the stitched effect on the cloud!

I cut the bird with a die from Memory Box, the music notes are from Lawn Fawn.

And the last for today....a bright, flowery June :) These dies are from Lil'Inker Designs as well.

Hope you liked my first part of the calendar. Don't forget to look by tomorrow if you'd like to see part 2! Have a nice day and thank you for visiting my blog!!

within 10 minutes

Hello everyone! It's been a very long time since my last post. I was really busy with my new school but now I've got holidays :)

 - 10 Minute Craft Dash #3

So, the challenge for this card was to create something within 10 minutes. It took me 9 minutes and 40 seconds to make this one. To save time, I almost did a flat copic coloring without much shading.

 Here's my card

My mom never inked this adorable set from Lawn Fawn, I'm the first one ;)

Thanks for dropping by!

My first scramble

Hi everyone! I know I've been away for a while, but I was pretty busy as I painted my wall green and my sister and I are changing rooms.... :)

Anyhow, I made this card for my first scramble ever! It was Emily's first scramble as a host as well ;) The challenge was to mix sentiment stamps....And so I did:

All the stamps I used are from Hero Arts, the tag die is from PTI. Thanks for stopping by!

Fashion Cut

Really enjoying my holidays, but from tomorrow on I've got a small job at my dentist, so it may be possible that I won't post anything next week, except perhaps on the weekend ;)

I'm entering my fashion cut card for this challenge:

 - Runway Inspired ric#15: I was inspired by the colors and by the fact that the model was wearing a dress.

I wanted to create a dress, and so tried to make one on a card, I just made half of this design:

And here's my card:

I created the dress with mists which involved lots of masking....but it was worth it. :) Sentiment is from Hero Arts. TFL!

Stamps coming to life...

Well, not really, but I'm coming back to that later. First, I want to share some exciting news with you all: I got accepted at my school of choice! Can't wait till August when the term will start...lol ;)

My project which I'm sharing today is for this challenge:

 - Lawnscaping Challenges: Use dimension - I thought it would be cool to make a dimensional project (yes, I know that a card has a dimension too but you know what I mean), so I made a little purse.

And here's my purse:

Here are more views:

But that's not all! As you can see in the first picture, I popped only the turtle with 3D foam, but to make it even more special and dimensional, look what's beneath all the blue paper:

Isn't this little guy adorable? It's as if the turtle stamp has come to life, hence the title :) I really enjoyed making both, the purse and the turtle, the stamp set is from Lawn Fawn, Critters in The Sea. Thanks for stopping by! (:
