Mandala Maker | Congrats | Tillykke | Gina K. Designs

I really like it when the focus of the card is off center. This is something I often go for when creating cards. 

Her I have again used the Mandala Maker stamp set from Gina K. Designs. Such a lovely set! It's primarily intented to be used with the Wreath Builder Tool. But I don't have the Wreath Builder Tool. This card is done by hand using an acrylic block.

This card is a DT project for the Danish craft webshop Hobbyboden.dk

In the circular shape I have hand stamped all the little black dots. There is a dot in the stamp set which had a perfect fit. It's not a 100% perfect but hey, neither am I ;)

I love how crips my stamping gets when using VersaFine Onyx Black. Yummy!

The sentiment is Danish and means Congrats/Congratulations.

I really like how the purple colour gets a chance to shine and get all the attention. 

I have done a similar card which you can see HERE. 

Wishing you a great summer day,

Pia

Dainty Bouquet | Altenew | Layered Stamping | Birthday Card

When I was at Creativation 2019 in Phoenix I first tried out this stamp set from Altenew and immediately fell in love with it. Therfore I have used it to create this card. 

I don't know about you, but this stamp set is just perfekt for floral cards, wedding cards, birthday cards and any type of occasion type of cards.

Today I am sharing a birthday card which I have sent to a crafty kindred spirit which I met for the first time at Creativation 2019. She has turned the big 4-0 and myself having stepped into the 4-0's 1½ year ago could relate to the process. Just sharing some crafty love and kindness to a fellow crafter. 

This stamp set from Altenew is an absolute stunner! Just telling you!

But I do love the colour combination I have chosen for this card. This turned out perfect. And using the MISTI stamping tool makes this a piece of cake!

I do really hope everone - whether in their 40ties or not are having crafty fun in this wonderful community of ours. I feel blessed to be a part of it. 

Hugs, 

Pia

Honey Bee Hello Cuts | Altenew Dotted Scales | Scrapbook Adhesives 3L Black

Keeping it simple is my mantra and this card turned out just the way I wanted it. 

Clean and Simple with focus on the sentiment with a splash of yellow.

(Psst, I am also sharing a little puppy pic in the end).

The Dotted Scalles background die is stunning and makes the sentiment pop more. 

But the addition of the yellow drops and the yellow envelope gives that extra Umpf to the card. 

The gorgeous Hello sentiment die from Honey Bee Stamps comes with two shadow dies. I have made another card using the complete sentiment die including shadow dies and you can see it HERE. 

I love combining different brands when I make cards. What about you?

Hugs, 

Pia
