Some Cards

Hello! Today I am sharing some cards from Northridge Media publications. Here we go:


Hallo! Heute zeige ich ein paar Karten, die bei Northridge Media veröffentlicht wurden. Los gehts:

The first two cards are from the CARDS January 2012 issue. That chipboard mug on the first card is taken from a Maya Road mini album. The cute squirrels on the other one are Unity stamps.


Die ersten beiden Karten sind aus der CARDS Januar 2012 Ausgabe. Dieser Graupappebecher auf der ersten Karte ist aus einem Maya Road Minialbum herausgenommen. Die putzigen Eichhörnchen auf der anderen Karte sind Stempel von Unity.

These three cards are published in the CREATE: Stamping Idea Book.

Congratulations

Happy Monday! It's back it's back! Paper Crafts' Gallery Idol, that is. And this year internationals are allowed again! Yay! I have to try out, it was through the Gallery Idol 2009 contest that I heard about Paper Crafts for the first time and started submitting to the magazine. And now? I am addicted! So here is a first card for the open auditions:

I stamped and heat-embossed the Hero Arts Large Blossom Cling using white embossing powder. Then I used distress inks spritzed with water and perfect pearls to color the image softly. It has a pretty, subtle shine irl:

Oh, and the card fits this month's Hero Arts Challenge, too! So, off to make more cards :)

Thank you so much for visiting and have a beautiful day! I hope yours is sunny! We had rainstorms combined with hail today. I didn't have the guts to go into the garden and look at my patches yet. Let's hope the best!

Hugs,

Vanessa

Wedding Cake

Happy Friday! Just quickly wanted to share a little project I made for my brother in law's wedding:


This little cake is made from small round boxes that I covered with patterned paper and embellished with those pretty paper roses. We will give money to the couple and I wanted to have a special packaging for this. All the paper is SEI from the Madeline Collection. So beautiful!



To assemble the cake, I pierced holes into the bottom of the top and the second layer and the lids of the second and bottom layer and connected them with brads. Here is one last shot:


I'll be back with my Card Pattern's post and the winner of my giveaway shortly.

Thanks for visiting and have a beautiful day!

Hugs,
Vanessa

ATC and a Winner and a Reminder!

Happy Tuesday! Happy Winnerday! But before I'll announce the winner of the Paper Crafts Card Creations Vol. 9 blog hop, a reminder and a little something to share.

REMINDER: Today is the last day to enter my second Blogoversary giveaway! Including HERO ARTS stamps, UNITY stamps, OCTOBER AFTERNOON paper, PINK PAISLEE paper, COSMO CRICKET chipboard and much much more!!! It's beautiful stuff! Enter it here.

Now to the little project. It is an ATC I made for this month's Hero Arts Challenge:

I love these pretty silhouettes stamps, but didn't own them. But now Hero Arts offers these great die-cuts for cutting machines!!! We own the Craft Robo and I have been neglecting it for such a long time - but now I have a great reason for using it. The background is stamped with the Old Letter Writing stamp. I wonder if I'll ever stop using it!

See that flower in the background? Our peonies are blooming! LOVE that rich color and they are huge! Lisa Spangler made me try taking photos of my projects in our garden and now I am hopping through it, camera in one hand, projects in the other, trying to find great set-ups for taking photos :) I am glad there are not many neighbors around to watch me doing this.

And finally, here is the winner of the Card Creations Vol. 9 issue. Random.org said:

And this means:

Yay, sweet friend!!! Congratulations! And please send me an email with your address so I can forward it to the Paper Crafts editor. Thank you so much for your sweet comments, I enjoyed reading every one!

I hope your day is wonderful! Thanks for visiting today!

Hugs,

Vanessa
