Thank you for visiting today. I’ll be back on Sunday with another how-to video!!!

Have fun this weekend

Being in Europe it takes ages for my orders to arrive from USA. In case you are wondering I always buy from SimonSaysStamps lately, because they have amazing service and they have the best shipping rates you can get. So when I order I always buy a lot and when they are finally here it’s Christmas again!! On Friday a huge order has arrived, so you can imagine that I am in a crafting heaven. For today’s card I used a new stamp from Hero Arts, new ink and paper from a new pad I ordered.

Here is the card I made:

You can see more detailed pictures, the how to video and a list of supplies HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!

A quick post here today, just to share with you my last how-to video for my other blog LilyPad Cards.

i wanted to make a Clean a Simple card using just one main color.

So here is the card I made grabbing only some of my old stamp sets.

To watch the video and take a look at a full list of supplies used please click HERE.

Truth is that I missed making videos, blogging and reading your comments the last couple of weeks … but I am gonna miss holidays also…

Here is a look at the card

Check out lilypad cards HERE to watch the video and see the list of supplies.

The design is simple but it has a tree edge on the front flap. You can use this technique with just about any stamp you have on hand and make your cards different and interesting. I am sharing the how-to video on LilyPad Cards blog so make sure to check it out. You will also find a full list of supplies there.

I also realized that I haven’t shared here my last week’s how-to video. It was a “hello” card just because I needed a break from Christmas cards. Make sure you check out the how-to video and the list of supplies HERE.

Note:

I get a lot of questions about my videos, when and where I post them. As you all might know me and Deborah Nolan share a blog with cardmaking challenges, lots of sponsors and prizes, interviews, how-to videos and many more fun posts.

So, Lily Pad Cards is where I post my weekly videos. They go live every Sunday and you can see them all if you click “how-to videos” in the menu bar of Lily Pad Cards or if you click HERE. You can also subscribe to our lilypadcards YouTube channel and don’t miss a thing! From time to time as a bonus I post videos here also. So make sure you join my personal YouTube channel as well.

Thank you all for keep visiting, for leaving me sweet comments and for supporting me so much! You are all so sweet! Sending hugs to all of you and I wish you all a creative week!

They are both made using the Penny Black Christmas stamps that I simply adore!

So here I am today…packing my things for summer house and having to make a video. I decided to make a similar card cause I just can’t think of anything new now. All I have in my mind is the sea and the sun! LOL! Here is the new version of the card and you can see the how-to video here

Well, actually now that you are reading this post I will probably be swimming
But no worries, I have scheduled posts and you won’t miss me. I’ll be back home just in time to pack my things for CHA!

I LOVE SUMMER of 2011!!!

Here are a couple of photos from last year just to show you where I’ll be the next two weeks. I have internet connection there so I’ll be checking my emails and share some new photos

Chalkidiki-Greece / Summer of 2010

my two kids enjoying the view /Summer of 2010

And in case you are wondering NO I am not packing any of my craft supplies. Nothing! Time away from crafts makes you more creative when you are back I think

Oh and I have a giveaway going on! If you haven’t participated do so! All you have to do is become a follower of the YouTube channel I am uploading my videos. Read more here.

Hugs and have fun.
