A birthday card

Hello there crafters,
I hope you're having a nice Sunday and enjoying the last few sunny and warm days of the season.
I have a card to share with you today. It was a quick project I put together using my Spellbinders dies - always love to take them out and see how they can be combined together. And Pinterest is a great source of inspiration for that. The pattern paper I used is Prima Marketing and the ribbon and lace are from my stash. The flower in the centre was made using a Spellbinder die, "Bitty blossoms" is the name. Love the ivory and rose colour combination, I think it's so feminine!

Have a nice beginning of week!
Hugs, Vittoria

Spellbinders to the rescue

Hello there crafters!
I have a quick yet effective card to share with you today. Last week I needed a last-minute card for the birthday of a colleague. I had just one evening to come up with something and therefore I took my Spellbinders out and started playing with them. They're my go-to tool when I need to whip up a card in almost no time - they're so easy to mix and match and the result is always great! I added a stamped greeting (Lily of the Valley stamp), Prima 6x6 designer paper, some matching ribbon and a charm from my stash and bang! The card was ready!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to be back soon with a new creation.
Have a nice weekend!
Hugs, Vittoria

You'll be missed

Hello there crafters!
It's unbelievable that a quarter of the year is gone already, don't you think? Anyway, the other week I needed a card for a colleague of mine who decided to quit because she had found a better job.
Although it was a good-bye card, I wanted something whimsical and merry and therefore I decided to use one of my favourite Penny Black stamps, the bunch of ducks. I stamped the image twice using the masking technique and cut it out with my MFT stitched ovals die, then matted it on a scalloped oval die-cut (Spellbinders). The pull tab is also a die from Spellbinders, while the faux-crochet border behind the image is a MFT border die - lots of die cutting here!! The image was coloured with my Copics and the sentiment computer-generated.
I resolved to put together a criss-cross card, as it's so impressive and at the same time easy to make. I added some ribbon from my stash and printed out the digital papers - the orange and lime green colours were perfect for my ducks! A triplet of matching blings et voilà, the card was finished. Love how it turned out, so cute!!

I'll be entering this card in the following challenges:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Trees or nature

Penny Black and more - Dies and punches

Have a nice evening and thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Vittoria
