You make my heart happy

This scene is totally inspired from a card made by @sandyallnock a few years ago. I thought the fun flamingos from the new @alexsyberiadesigns Paradise birds set were just perfect to recreate this scene. I also used the sentiments from two other new sets: Happy blooms and Rainbow sentiments #alexsyberiadesign Paradise birds, Happy blooms and Rainbow sentiments #tsukineko Memento ink #copic #sakura Gelly roll pen #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #onelayercard

Sweet dreams

Sharing 2 quick baby cards today which I made for my friend @oceane.bckt who is on maternity leave. Just ordered a couple stamp sets from the new Florilèges release. One of the sets I used has a beautiful moon and clouds image that reminded me of another moon stamp I had from another French company, Mes petits ciseaux. I can't get over how precious they look together. The babies are from the Crafty Meraki Oh baby set... I just love the cute images on that set.    The focal point on the second card is that beautiful sentiment which says: my angel, my little wonder, my heart, my jewel, my treasure, my little one, the gift of my life, my strength, my pride, my little miracle, my world, if you knew how much I love you. Then the smaller one on the top left corner says: A child creates happiness. While I really love cute things on clouds, I recently came across an image of a baby on a hand, which is iconic too, so I thought I'd just do that on this card, using the Waffle Flowers Cari

Dream big

For these cards, I mixed and matched two new @alexsyberiadesigns sets, Always be yourself and Happy blooms. Wanted those cute unicorns to bring a touch of color to the flowers. I also added a lot of shimmer. The photos don't do these cards much justice but I have a short video showing all of the shimmer at the end of this post. #alexsyberiadesign Always be yourself, Happy blooms and Rainbow sentiments #tsukineko Memento ink #inkadinkado Masking paper #copic #hydracolour Metallic and glitter watercolor #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #onelayercard

Congratulations on your new home

For today's @yournextstamp creation, I used a lot of different stamp sets to create this cute scene for a new housewarming. I just love when different sets work so well together. I'm also totally in love with those cool cats; they make me smile! (Advertisement / Design Team post) #yns #yournextstamp Cool cats, Holiday magic, Santa's on the way, Beep!

I have a very sweet card today with some crazy masking, unmasking and remasking. As you'll see in my reels, I think this is one of the most complex one-layer card I've ever done. But, I really love how it turned out. Hope you like it too!

The stamp and coordinating die are actually just one piece each, so I thought it would be fun to use them entirely on my panel, without assembling the die cuts. I used the die to create a stencil and ink my background, before stamping the images

Time spent with you

Just received the Crafty Meraki Gnomeo & Juliet stamp set and absolutely wanted to match it with the Cuckoo clock stamp set from Pink and Main. Initially, I wanted to picture the life of this gnome couple inside the cuckoo clock, while superimposing the inside and outside of the clock at the same time. But then my imagination took a slightly different turn and it became a representation of time that goes by, while these two are always there for each other #pinkandmain Cuckoo clock #craftymeraki Gnomeo & Juliet #stamperia Mechanisme #tsukineko Memento inks #inkadinkado Masking paper #copic #copicliner #sakura Gelly roll pen #versamark #wowembossingpowder #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #onelayercard

Birthday wishes

So sadly, this card never made it to its recipient. I'm so disappointed for her and also because I had put  lot of time in the making and I was super happy about the result. I'm not the kind who likes to make multiples or repeat the same design (I'm always afraid that the second shot is not as good as the first one and all the reveal and excitement of discovering how the card turns out is gone for me), so it really breaks my heart to know that this card is lost somewhere and not in the hand of its lovely recipient  The card was intended for a Pisces. Back then, I had my fair share of goldfish cards and when thinking of this card theme, it then became obvious that if anything from sea life, its recipient would have to be a mermaid So I went for this mermaid birthday card, and because I was not quite ready yet (and still am not) for Summer cards and blue oceans, I thought of pink sugar sand and pink waters and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by the end result. Hope

Hay!

For today's @yournextstamp creation, I'm taking you to the farm with a barn shape card of my making and some cute critters from the Farm-tastic and Happy hayrides stamp sets   (Advertisement / Design Team post) #yns #yournextstamp Farm-tastic, Happy hayrides and Cooltag banner sentiments   #tsukineko Memento ink #inkadinkado Masking paper #copic #versamark #wowembossingpowder #card #cardmaking #handmadecards #diycards #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #onlayercard #shapecard

Love you to the carrot and back

Love you to the carrot and back... Bunny kisses and Easter wishes! Happy Easter to all who celebrate. If you're wondering how I made the carrot, I used the My Favorite Things Over the moon die as the starting point and then my lame drawing skills to turn it into a carrot... Watch my upcoming reel to see more and you'll understand why saying my drawing skills are just lame is an understatement #p13paperproducts Good night #mftstamps Over the moon die and Magical friends #mamalephant Zodiac rabbit #picketfencestudios Bunny dear #tsukineko Memento ink #inkadinkado Masking paper #distressoxide Tumbled glass, Prize ribbon, Chipped sapphire and Black soot #copic #versamark #wowembossingpowder #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #onlayercard #easter #eastercard

All you need is love & chocolate

Today, I'm sharing a couple Easter cards with a girly inspiration. One of them is for hubby. Not that there is anything sexy in celebrating Easter (to me), but seeing all those bunny ears die sets that came out this season, and wanting to do something a little different, I ended with that idea of a bunny girl on one side and something very pinky and girly for the second card. For the carrot background, I took the inspiration from Arsenia @plant769 and her beautiful color palette.   #thegreetingfarm Cheeky divas #craftymeraki Don't worry be hoppy #simonsays Dog and cat dress up #pinkandmain Easter greetings #newtonsnook Love & chocolate #waffleflowercrafts Layered bows stencil #prettypinkposh Layered carrots stencil #papersmooches Critter card puns #waffleflowercrafts Bunny ear die and Happy Easter duo foil + matching die #tsukineko Memento ink #inkadinkado Masking paper #distressoxide Lost shadow, Twisted citron, Rustic wilderness, Spun sugar, Kitsch flamingo, Worn lipstick

Hoppy Easter

The Easter fun continues today with a gorgeous basket from @papertreyink that made me regress to kindergarden. Can't say I was a great fan of woven paper then, but THIS basket die is just gorgeous. It had to wait for almost a year in my stash, but the wait was totally worth it! #papertreyink Weave a basket #simonsaysstamp Carrot die #whimsystamps Fluff but #reverseconfetti Hop into Spring #echopark Easter memories #papersmooches Critter card puns #mftstencil Slimline Cloud edges #lawnfawn Grassy stencil #tsukineko Memento ink #heroarts Contour ink #distressoxide Speckled egg, Old paper and Mowed lawn #copic #copicliner #sakura Gelly roll pen #card #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagram #cardmakerofinstagram #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #diycards #diecutting #nolinecoloring #easter #eastercard

May your Easter be a happy one

After a few cards involving painful diecutting, I was happy to create this one layer card yesterday with some old products.
