Grad[dad]itude!

Just before Father's day I received the Farm-tastic stamp set by My Favorite Things, so I made a father's day card using this cute animals and the red Steyr tractor. Furthermore, two weeks before father's day we spent four days on a farm together with our kids. They had all this animals and lots of tractors, real ones and toys.

DIY paper flowers!

I saw on Instagram these beautiful cards from Birka using selfmade paper flowers. At this time I was on vacation with my family. I watched the YouTube Video she suggested from Dani Peuss and bought all the supplies needed to create these simple but beautiful paper flowers. Two evenings I sat in our mobile home and made lots of paper flowers which I used for a couple of cards and paper milk packages already. This is my first card:

For this card I stamped the floral fantasy background stamp from My Favorite Things with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed white embossing powder. Afterwards, I colored it in rainbow distress ink colors. I stamped the birthday sentiment on a gift card layer die from WPlus9.
