Hallo my Blogland friend, some times ago I was sending letter application to be guest designer at Night Shift Stamping and the owner of the challenge contacted me and ask me to be on her guest designer team for August until October. I was so happy and right after that I send email to say yes ...also here is my FIRST attemp to the challenge. This time we have theme Paper Piecing.
Here is how I made my card, I choose a PP with flower and another PP for the surfing board. Fussy cut it and adhere to the card base.
As you know I always love using the cloud template from Billie A, and sponged it with distress ink, I also use brown and grey distress ink for the sand. The sentiment is DYMO machine and the Sun is from my lovely friend Ka (many thanks Billie and Ka for the lovely goodies you sent me) the PP with stripes is my old collection.
Here is one more photo of my card:

----------------------------------
A friend of mine asked me to make a birthday card for his mom. And I have got this lovely MUM stamp from my dear friend Asha (it was my Birthday Goodies) dear Asha many thanks again for this lovely and cute stamp...I love to use it again... ;)
I have an idea how about if I made simple MUM image and Happy Birthday on a small Tag...(hope it is not so SHINY/to much color like a little girl´s card ;-))
I love the color combo I have choose from this challenge Your Next Stamp #20:
I colored the MUM with blue and green Copic Marker and then I choose red cardstock and make the tiny tag and for the background paper it is kraft paper, I stamped it with dark brown ink with my fav. circle and dots stamp. The sentiment means: Happy Birthday.
Challenges for my second card are:
Your Next Stamp #20: Color challenge see above
Scribbles Designs Challenge #31: Birthday Bonanza
Crafting With Attitude #6: Anything Goes (2)
Brown Sugar Challenge #158:Anything Goes
Thanks for looking and happy thursday :)
Love,
The first is so fun Monika, just adore those clouds. And your mom card is so bright and beautiful.

Awesome cards!!
ReplyDeleteWow great idea on the surf board and fussy cutting. Lots of work but so worth it. The beach scene is awesome. You are a pro on the clouds. I am so glad you use it. Awesome card and fun image. She's ready to surf..
ReplyDeleteThe mum card is darling. Like the stamping on the lower half of the card. Fun bright lovely.
Hugs friend
Your little beach girl card is so cute!! You have a knack for these type of cards... And there are your signature clouds!! So well done and your paper piecing is perfect!! I love the little sun too... I am going to ask what holiday are you referring to in this card.. We really don't have a summer holiday and now I am curious..
ReplyDeleteYou Mum card is also so wonderful the image just pops off that kraft paper!! And there are your circles again!! Love!! The colors you used work well with the kraft paper very crisp and clean with a little bit of whimsy stamping those circles!! I don't think it is juvenile at all.. Your Mum is going to love it!!
Hallo Monica,
ReplyDeleteich freue mich, dass du auch als GD bei NSS dabei sein kannst. Deine Karten sind wunderschön. Es gibt so viel zu entdecken.
Liebe Grüße und schönes Wochenende - Andrea aus Echterdingen (near Stuttgart)
Your mum card isn't too girly at all, you made sure of that with your choice of color coordination, but it does look beautifully grown up feminine.
ReplyDeleteYour first card is so summery and fun. Paper piecing is one of my favorite techniques to use, I'm not always in mood for coloring... You've really got the hang of those inky skies, but I also like how you did the sandy beach and adding details with a black pen.
Eine wirklich schöne "Sommerkarte". Vielen Dank für deine Teilnahme bei Cards und More. Viel Glück.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße, Daniela
LOVE you "mum" card! So beautiful!! Thank you for joining us at Your Next Stamp! Hope you will join us again next time!!

Great cards as always, Monika! I love your surf card and your mum card. Thanks for joining us at Naughty or Nice Challenges!
ReplyDeleteFun creations, Monika! Congratulations on your guest spot, too! Sorry I haven't been by. I've been very ill, and am still struggling a lot. I'll try to get back soon, but please forgive me if I don't make it. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Guest Design Team spot, Monika! Love your cards too. The surfer girl is so cute and the Mum card is so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeletePS: Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my blog! you asked about the "thanks" die cut on one of my cards ~ it is from Papertrey Ink and it is called "SWOOSH" this die set contains 5 different words, but to tell you the truth I wish I waited because they came out with the same set of dies only a larger scale.
Very nice card! Your friends Mum will love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along at Your Next Stamp!
Both fabulous cards Monika..Loz
ReplyDeleteMonika, both of your cards are wonderful! the paper you selected for the paper piecing is perfect and your "MUM" card is really delightful! Good job friend!
