First 10 cards 1 kit...

I love to watch 10 cards 1 kit videos on YouTube and I'd love to subscribe to one of the many kits available but because I live in Belgium the shipping cost are pretty high.

So when I discovered the new Paper Craft Set at Action I was super happy. It has lots of element to make some fun paper projects, so I made 10 cute cards.
 
This is a photo of what came in the kit...

 
...and here are all the cute cards!
 
 
This was the first card I made with this set. The patterned paper already contained the sentiment. I just popped up a die cut flower next to the sentiment and the card is finished. I'm entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge in which the theme for this week is Floral Frenzy! 
(I may add some glossy accents to some of my cards but I'm no sure yet.)
 
 
The next one is my hubby his favorite. I used the gorgeous patterned paper as a background, popped up a gold foiled tag and finish the card with a popped up flower sticker and a natural twine bow.
 
 
Now for my favorite! It was really hard to choose but here it is...
 
 
It's a really simple card but that's what I love. I use a stripped background paper, a fabulous succulent wreath and sentiment die cut.
 
 
Now for my least favorite card. I fussy cut the big pineapple and popped it up on some white cardstock. For the background I use a strip of fun pineapple patterned paper. The sentiment is made up of a die cut and a sticker.
 
 
I tried making cards for different occasions but here's another birthday one. I used a fun background paper and popped up a lot of die cuts to make a fun cluster on the left of the card.

 
The sentiment is made up of a happy die cut and a happy birthday sticker that I cut up and only used the birthday part of.
 
 
This card was inspired by a MFT Card Challenge. I love the flamingo's!
 
 
For the next card I used a fun striped background paper and popped up the beautiful owl and sentiment die cut.
 
 
Another one of my favorites. I used a gorgeous patterned paper for the background and added a strip of another paper to brake up the busy background.
 
 
 I popped up a gold foiled tag that I backed with some bleu paper and finish the card with a popped up cactus sticker and a naturel twine bow.
 
 
The next card is made with a patterned paper that had this beautiful sentiment on it. I popped up a die cut that coordinated perfectly with the sentiment and the card was finished.
 

 
The last card is made up of two patterned papers to created a fun background. I added two popped up die cuts and that was it.
 
Let me know which one of these card was your favorite in the comments down below!

Tulips...

Challenge #13 bij 2 Sisters on the blog gaat helemaal om bloemen. Om meer precies te zijn om tulpen, de hyacint en viooltjes. Deze moesten duidelijk zichtbaar op de kaart aanwezig zijn en dat is wel gelukt denk ik ;)
 
 
Ik kocht ooit bij de Action no line coloring books. Dit zijn zeer licht afgebeelde bloemen die je dan kan inkleuren zonder dat er een zwart lijn omheen zit. Hieronder zie je een foto van hoe dat er uitziet.
 
 
Ik heb om de tulpen in te kleuren mijn alcohol markers gebruikt. Ik had nog geen idee voor welke gelegenheid ik deze kaart zou gebruiken dus heb ik nog geen titel toegevoegd. Ik zou deze in de linker onder hoek plaatsen in dezelfde kleur al mijn achtergrond papier.
 
 
Als je mijn kaart leuk vind of je hebt vragen, laat dan een berichtje achter bij de comments hieronder.

Make it a bright day...

The latest sketch at the Sketch-N-Scrap challenge blog is another fun one.

 
I recently purchased some new stamps and decided to use them. I've selected a cute kitten with two stars as a fun diadem. This inspired me to use my star border die.
 
 
I used some extra stars as a finishing touch. The background paper is embossed with a star embossing folder. The sentiment is saying 'Make it a bright day!' in Dutch.

Strength...

For the #117 sketch challenge at the Sketch-N-Scrap blog you have to follow the next sketch.
 
 
Everybody has the need for some strength sometimes and this is what I made my card for.
 
 
The sentiment is saying strength in Dutch. I used 3 layers of cardstock for the sentiment so that it has some dimension. For the second layer in the sketch I used some organza so you can still see the beautiful patterned paper in the background. I even think it enhances the background a bit.
 
 
To finish the card I used a butterfly that I fussy cut from the same patterned paper. If you look in the picture below you can see that my cardbase and the strip behind the sentiment has a beautiful shine.
