Crafts and Me GD Card - Happy Birthday

Good day to you all people. First of all, thanks to everybody who visits my blog and leaving such sweet comments on my cards!
Today I have a new Guest Designer card for you which I made for Crafts and Me.
This time it is with a digi from Hannah Lynn, "Library Fairy". I coloured her with my Copic Markers. And after that along the edge I put some Stickels, "Star Dust" for some nice shine. On the glasses of her specs I put some Glossy Accents. It only does not show on the pictures.
The papers I used are from a paper pad from Studio Light.
The sentiment stamp is coming from Lili of the Valley, set 26 "Simply Sophisticated".
The edge I punched with an old punch of Martha Stewart. The heart tag behind the papers is made with a Doohickey from Magnolia.
The long swirl is one of my favourites and it comes from Memory Box, "Whimsical Flourish".
The tag on the right side is a piece of a die from Noor! Design, 6002/0134.
The little butterflies are also made with a punch from Martha Stewart.
All the papers I inked up with Distress Ink, "Dusty Concord".
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Again for some bling I put some Stickels, "Star Dust" on it.
The Vintage Seam Binding is coming from The Ribbon Girls. I glued a key charm under it with some Scrappers Floss.
The flat back pearls, rhinestones and charm are coming from my stash.
The inside of the card I decorated also. Used a paper from the paper pad and made a rectangle with a Crealies XXL die, nr. 24 "Stitch". The edges I stamped with a stamp from Unique also in Distress Ink, "Dusty Concord".
Well, I hope you like my second DT card. I know I had a great time colouring and making it.
I wish you all a lovely weekend and thanks for passing by. See you soon again!

You're Special

Good day to you all. I hope every body had a nice beginning of the week.
Over here in Luxor we have a little bit of a heatwave with temperatures around 44 degrees. And the sun is scoring hot!
I also had a little bit of some printer problems this week. My old printer finally gave up. So I had to buy a new printer. And guess what, here in Luxor you can choose between 2 (!) printers; a laser jet or an ink jet and they are both from HP. Lol! So you are really not standing in a shop deciding forever which printer you want to buy. Hahaha. So i did buy the laser printer because I colour with the Copics and a lot of ink jet printers have problems with that.
But so far about my printer troubles. Back to my card for today.
This card is made with a digi of Hannah Lynn from Crafts and Me. This beauty is called "Dahlia". I coloured her with my Copic Markers. And around the edge of the stamp I made some extra bling with Stickels, "Star Dust".
The papers I used for the card coming from a paper pad from Prima Marketing, "Melody". All the papers I inked up with Distress Ink, "Walnut Stain". Behind the papers I put a doily. And ad the other side I make a tag, glued design paper on it and stick it behind the papers. The bow is made with Vintage Seam Binding from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The sentiment stamp is from a set from Inkadinkado.
The leaves behind the flowers is a die from Noor! Design, 6002/0046 and a Doohickey from Magnolia the Heart Swirl. The little cut out dragon fly is also a Doohickey from Magnolia.
The flowers are coming from Wild Orchid Crafts except the fabric flower. I really do not know any more where it is coming from. Have it already for ages. The shining spacer in the middle is from The Hobbyhouse. On the flowers I also put some Stickels, "Star Dust".
The flat back pearls, rhinestones and mesh are coming from my stash.
The inside of the card I decorated also. Only use a beautiful paper from the paper pad. And a little dragon fly and two hearts made with a punch of Martha Stewart.
I really hope you love this card again. Thanks for passing by and love to see you soon again!

Merry Christmas

Good afternoon to everybody. First of all thank you every body for visiting my blog and leaving such nice comments!
I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend. Over here in Luxor you do not notice so much about Easter. After all, this is a Muslim country. Although they have a large population of Coptic Christians. And they celebrate of course Easter. Only the second Easter day is in Egypt traditional a holiday for every body, Muslim and Christians. It is called Sham el Nessim, it marks the beginning of spring. And here in Luxor every body goes to the river Nile and sit with the whole family at the banks of the Nile having a lovely day out. It is very busy then along the Nile with people and children swimming, boats and the traditional sailing boats, Felucca's, and all having a great time.
And on a hot day today, temperature is around 35 degrees, I have a Christmas card for you all.
For this card I used a digi stamp from Hannah Lynn, "Poinsettia Pixie". I always love to colour those digi's. And of course I used my Copic Markers for it.
For the papers I used an old paperpad from Kaisercraft, "Just Believe". I inked all the papers up with Distress Ink, "Walnut Stain".
The sentiment stamp is from Magnolia. Around it I put some Stickels, "Silver".
The cut out Christmas ornament is a die from Memory Box, "Swirl Ornament". On top of the Christmas ornament I glued a silver cord coming from The Ribbon Girls and on top of that I put a little red rose.
The leaves underneath the flowers a two different dies from Doohickey Magnolia.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I gave them a little bling with Stickels, "Silver". And at the bottom I glued a bow made from Scrappers Floss.
The ribbon that I used is coming from my stash.
The inside of the card I decorated also. Used only one beautiful paper from the paper pad and on the ticket, made with Nestabilities Rectangles, I attached a little tag also coming from the paper pad with a split pen. I keep my insides of the cards rather simple, because I cant buy anything over here in Egypt. So I must use my stuff a little economic. And that is the beauty with the paper pads from Kaisercraft. There are always papers in it what you do not use so much on the front of the card.
So, that was it for today folks! Thanks for passing by and if you leave a comment it is always greatly appreciated. Hope to see you soon back.

Pure Beauty

After a long period I'm back again with a new card. It took me a long time because last summer we start to build our house here in Luxor, Egypt. And in October it was finished.
After that I had to order closets so I could rearrange my hobby room again.
And living in Egypt means that every thing takes a long time. But finally things are back to normal and I can craft again.
For my first card I choose a image of Hannah Lynn. I do love her images and find them rather easy to colour. After such a long break my colouring gets a little rusty. Lol.
This image is called "Analinda" and I coloured her with my Copics.
For the papers I used a very old, but still favourite paper pad from Basic Grey, 'Wisteria'.
Behind the papers you can just see a paper doily peeping out.
On the right side of the card I used a dye from Noor! Design, 6002/0260. The little corner is also made with a dye from Noor! Design, 6002/0356.
The swirl is a dye from Cheery Lynn, 'Fancyful Flourish', and on the right side I used 'Olive Branch'.
The dragon fly is a Doohickey from Magnolia.
And the last one I used is a edge punch from EK-Succes.
The flowers are coming from Wild Orchid Crafts.The ribbon and flat back pearls are from my stash.
For the bling I used as usual Stickels, 'Star Dust'.
Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope to be back soon.
