Elzybells, #34 blue, white and silver

En ook de laatste challenge van dit jaar bij Elzybells Art Stamps ,alweer nummer 34, iedereen begint echt in kerst stemming te komen, de boom staat, de kinderen hebben vakantie en er ligt... sneeuw! De challenge is deze keer om een kaart/creatie te maken met de kleuren blauw, wit en zilver. Ik heb een beetje gesmokkeld want ik had geen zilver cardstock maar heb een zachte kleur grijs genomen. Het resultaat is ook erg glitterig geworden, sorry! *lol*, maar dat zal wel aan de tijd van het jaar liggen.

Polar Bear and sentiment Queen of Stamping

Paper: Bazzill cardstock and Doodlebug designpaper

Accessories: Prima Flowers, brads, Quickutz die Snowflake, stickles, ribbon, little button

Magnolia, Oops...belated bday!

Alhoewel ik er nog steeds geen genoeg van heb toch is het heerlijk om even niet met een kerstkaartje bezig te zijn, afgelopen zaterdag viel de Magnolia Winter&Christmas Raising the Ceiling Collection 2009 op de mat. De stempels die hierin zitten zijn weer helemaal leuk en naar mijn smaak! Voor een belated BDay kaart heb ik gekozen voor dit "Oops" Tildaatje. Lang niet alle Magnolia stempels vind ik persoonlijk geschikt voor de 3D techniek maar bij deze stempel "past" het gewoon en was het niet moeilijk te bepalen welke laagjes- en hoe er geknipt moest worden. Ben Mariska nog steeds zéér dankbaar voor de herontdekking van deze techniek (Hi Maris *waving*)

Op deze foto kun je goed zien dat ik gebruik heb gemaakt van laagjes. Het jurkje plus mouw heb ik gestempeld op designpapier, uitgeknipt en opgeplakt met foamblokjes. Gezichtje met pony, vleugeltjes en handje zijn ook uitgeknipt en opgeplakt met foamblokjes.

Supplies

Stamps: Magnolia Winter and Christmas Raising the Ceiling collection 2009

Paper: MagnoliaInk designpaper, Bazzill cardstock

Accessories: Lace, Prima and MagnoliaFlowers, brads, Quickutz die leaves and Katie alfabet,Stickles

Color Medium: Prisma Color Pencils and chalk

Een hele fijne maandag!

Hugs, Inge xOx

Elzybells Art Stamps, challenge 33

 

Yeah time for another Elzybells Art Stamps challenge! *Ahum* well the challenge has been up for some time at the Elzybells Blog but I hadn't earlier time to play. I always love the Elzybells challenges because they make you think outside the box:-P This time the challenge is to create a xmas gift or packaging. I've done both, made a gift for a sweet friend and created for this gift a packaging;-) As you know I love making little gifts for friends, it's always a joy to put a smile on someone's face if they receive something home made. Especially when a friend could use a little extra because of going through rough times...

Okay back to the challenge. I've bought this cute little matchbox at a dutch store "Action" (don't ya love the shape of it, I've never seen a triangel shaped matchbox before!) and decorated it with Kraft cardstock, designpaper and ofcourse a sweet Elzybells image. To go along with this present I've put some tea lights in a cellofane bag and made a tag from Kraft on top of it. To make these gifts a real set, I've used the same button and sentiment.

Supplies

Stamps: Elzybells Art Stamps Girl with Sleigh, Winter girl and Sending Love with Xmas

Paper: Elzybells Art Stamps Kraft Cardstock and MagnoliaInk designpaper

Accessories: Doodlebug buttons, ribbon, Elzybells Art Stamps White Inkpad Sugar Candy

Color Medium: Prisma Color pencils and chalk

You still have time to join in for this challenge! All you have to do is leave a comment on --->this post<--- with a (direct) link to your challenge creation.You have till this Wednesday Dec. the 16th to do so and Elizabeth will then choose her favourite creation - and that person will win a voucher to spend in the online store!
