Oops almost forgot to post my card for the new Basic Grey Challenges! This time our challenge for this next fortnight is lovely and simple - ANYTHING GOES!!
I have to go to a christening this Sunday and wanted to give something extra beside the 'normal' present. So I altered this IKEA picture frame, I have it for ages and I think they don't sell it anymore. It was already vintagelike but I gave it some extra with ColourBox Chalk and also stamped the Hero Arts feet.
I used the Marjolaine paperpad for the inside and a couple of Basic Grey buttons.
Stamp: Scrapmagasinet and Hero Arts
Paper: Marjolaine by Basic Grey
Other: buttons by Basic Grey, flower, pin, twine, pearls and lace
Today I have a wedding from my cousin Ellen. I new (not telling who my informant is)that she will be wearing a black and white wedding dress. So I made the card in these colours. I was inspired by the Less is More challenge which is to use circles. I used my nestabilities to make these and added some rhinestones. That's it. Simple.
Stamp: alphabet by Heidy Swapp
Paper: very old DCWV mini stack
Other: rhinestones
Hi everybody and welcome at another Basic Grey Challenges!
We want you to make a card and the challenge is:
STITCHING
So summer has started officially on June 21. Well nothing but rain here, but they promise that starting from Monday things will look a lot sunnier! Yesterday was my sisters Leonie birthday. So I made this card for her. There has been years when it was so hot but now it was actually cold. We got her a great necklace and a matching armband and I used the colour in the card. I don't know if she noticed....
I used the Mojo Monday sketch and also want to enter it in the Stamping for the Weekend challenge which is using your favourite things. Well my favourite things are using Basic Grey paper (I love this new pad Hello Luscious)and ribbon.
Stamp: Flower Girls Pergamano
Paper: Hello Luscious by Basic Grey
Other: brads from Basic Grey, flowers, ribbon, eyelet, Twinkling H2O's
Today is Father's Day. And since I have an awesome dad I naturally wanted to make him a card. I find masculine cards hard to make, but I like this one. I used last week sketch by Mojo Monday , it's too late to send it in, but when I saw that sketch I knew I wanted to make a card with it.
I want to enter this card in the following challenge: Papertake which is Dads and Lads, and Stamp Something which is using Pretty Papers. These are from Basic Grey. I used my Nesties to make the small circles.
Stamp: My Favorite Things
Paper: Skate Shoppe by Basic Grey
Other: twine, ribbon, nestabilities
It's me again! Back with another awesome challenge from Basic Grey Challenges!
This time we have a colour challenge for you. We would like to see cards in:
HOT PINK - LIME GREEN- KRAFT/BROWN
So here is my card following these colours. My pink is not coming out as 'hot' as I wanted though ;)
I've found these cute stamps in my local craft store. I don't buy much there because they do not have the newest supplies and they certainly don't have the best prices. But I was in need of some brown paper for this challenge and I found these cuties. And I just couldn't resist.
Oh and when you play along with our challenge make sure to use a Basic Grey product. You can't imagine how many people play along a blog called Basi Grey and don't use a BG product!
Stamp: Flower Girls from Pergamano
Paper: Lemonade paperpad from Basic Grey!!
Other: pearls, flowers, Twinkling H2O's, stickles, ribbon
It's Saturday again (finally..... sigh) and time for another challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges!
This time we want you to make a .....
shabby chic card
I love those cards, but they do take longer to make. I already knew I wanted to use the Curio papers. I love those! I used the sketch from
Whiff of Joy Challenges.
Stamp: Whiff of Joy
Paper: Curio paperpad
Other: pearls, lace, flowers, Twinkling H2O's
A little girl is born so I needed a card. I decided to do something different this time. A while back I discovered a challenge blog all to do with making simple cards. I really love it. So this is my first card for the challenge from Less is More! This time you needed to include butterflies.
Stamp: My sentiments exactly
Paper: cardstock white and pink
Other: pen, butterfly die, embossing swiss dots, ribbon and pearls
Today is a great day in the Netherlands, we call it Koninginnedag (Queensday).
But this year I won't be part of the celebrations because my sisters (Leonie and Berniek) and I are going to London!!
I've been looking forward to this trip for a long time and finally it is here!
So right after Will and Kate are done celebrating and hopefully London has come back to its senses we are going to do lots of sightseeing, shopping and of course catch a musical.
But before I leave let me tell you about our new challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges
Be Charming
So we want to see a charm on your creation.
I used Marjolaine paper pad for this card. Somehow the picture is not really focussed and also the blue is more grey-blue in reality.
Stamp: Country Garden Sugar Nellie, sentiment
Paper: BasicGrey Marjolaine paper pad
Other: lots of pearls, ribbon, Twinling H2O's, charm, twine

Hi everybody. Today is going to be a very warm day in the Netherlands for this time of the year. The promise is around 20C! I will let you know what it was.
The challenge at Basic Grey Challenges is to make a:
MULTIFOLD CARD
Well my multifold card history is very, well I can't even remember one. So I had a hard time with this challenge. I ended up watching youtube movies and chose this style. I have no idea what it's called. The card is a birthday card I made for my dad. So far less decoration, mostly buttons.
Unfortunatly the pictures didn't came out well, the card is better irl.
I also decorated the inside but that's hard to see on the pic.
So that's my card for this challenge. I do hope you have seen all the amazing creations made by the BGC DT, you can see lots of different folds!
And please join us and make a multifold card.
Stamp: Edwin by Magnolia
Paper: Pyrus by BasicGrey

I used the Friday Sketchers sketch for it. I also want to enter the Magnolia Down Under Challenge which is Shabby Chic with lots of white.

It's amazing how many people participated in the last Basic Grey Challenges. Lots of people also aplied for the DT position so we have a difficult task to go through all of them.
This Saturday we have another challenge for you!
hearts
I've been so busy that I hardly could find the time to do my DT duties. So I only had about half an hour to make a card. It turned out very simple. Not quite pleased with it. I used the Mojo Monday sketch I liked that one. But it did go wrong when I aplied some liquid pearls in the corners.... I took it of and had to put something else, so it became the rhinestones.
Stamp: Magnolia
Paper: Lemonade by BasicGrey
Other: Twinkling H2O's, stickles, glossy accents, lots of BG buttons!!
The theme this time at Basic Grey Challenges is:
Flower Power
So have flowers on your card or creation in some way...it can be in the pattern paper or as an embellishment! Check out the blog for the DT, they really did their best to make the most wonderful creations!
There is also still the chance to become part of our DT! If the last challenge was not really your thing or you didn't have the time to make a card check out Basic Grey Challenges for more info.
I used last weeks sketch from Our Creative Corner to make the card. I made faux stitches around the card. I really like the Curio line by BG! I've made two cards so far but the look is totally differnt. I found some new sentiment stamps from Kaisercraft and love the way they are perfect for cards.
