«Moederkesdag».... A Card for my Mum-in-Law

After seeing so many beautiful tri-fold cards I just had to try one!

I also got to test the satin-ribbon flower technique I had just learned at my friend Stephanie's workshop, who just happens to be my friendly neighborhood Stampin`Up rep :) You can visit her blog here.

Here is what it looks like closed (seems a little bland but that all changes once it's opened!):

And a side-view:

Absolutely loved coloring this little Tike! He's from Penny Black: «Just for You» cling stamp. Afterall, this is my Man's mother's card, so it had to represent him somehow ;)





The brown paper I embossed with Versamark ink and pen, using clear embossing powder from Stampin' Up and the rest mainly came from my scraps folder.

Got there sooner than I thought

Just last week I was telling my boyfriend how I wasn't ready for blogging yet.... Apparently I got there much sooner than I originally thought. So why now? Simple, just wanted a chance to participate in all the wonderful scrapbook challenges that are out there and, obviously, to share my creations with all the other paper addicts!

So here are some of my first creations:

I made these cards for friends` birthdays... The first I made from scrap paper I had and a stamp found at a scrapbooking store`s workshop (I unfortunately did not take note of the stamp maker). The second card I made with the Penny Black «spinning a yarn» stamp and Stampin` Up «loving hearts» set.

This last one is for the arrival of a beautiful little Belgian girl named Lénaï... I used Stampin`Up «baby Tees» wheel and My Little Shoe Box paper. All it's missing is a front sentiment but I still haven't found the right way to add it yet... 
Can't wait to have more to show! Thanks for visiting!
