Some Of Our Favourites...

 It is the Quixotic Paperie Design Team Showcase of some of our Alina's favourite!  Alina has such a special way with her layouts, using those DPs beautifully!  

First up is her delicately sweet You Make Me Smile cards using Sylvia Zet for SCACD stamp -''Friendship Ties'' and Make it Crafty Lasercut Chipboard - the Fine Swirls set...

 

This next card uses the ever popular Uptown Girls by Stamping Bella called ''Molly makes a Detour'', using Make it Crafty Lasercut Chipboard - Fine Swirls...

And how about this quirky fun new home card using the Make it Crafty Steampunk House, with BasicGrey papers and Marianne D Creatables Open Flowers Trendy (behind the sentiment)...

And we all love the funky Kenny K stamp - Boogie Down, with My Mind's Eye papers -''Love me'' collection...

Our last lovely share uses one of the Beautiful Day Fairies from Paper MakeUp Sugarplum Fairy and  sentiment from the Paper Makeup Stamps set When There's Nothing Left to Say set...

I think you'll agree that Alina has such an original style!  Her soft colouring and use of papers are so lovely!  I hope she's aspired you to get your stash out and get creating!

A ''Happy Birthday'' card

Hi ladies, I had to make this card for a friend of mine and I thought I could use it for my post today. This is one of my favourite stamps ever, ''A Pen Friend'' by Elisabeth Bell for Belles 'n Whistles, coloured with Prisma pencils. The papers are from My Mind's Eye -''Love me'' collection, the butterflies are Make it Crafty Lasercut Chipboard - the ''Fine Swirls''. The flowers and tab are made using Die-namics.
That's all from me today, I wish you a great week and thank you for stopping by.

Hugs,
Alina

Super Mum!

 

Hi ladies, today I have this card to share and because we have a new sketch for you to use for our Challenge #5 (thank you, Mary!), I wanted to give it a try and here is my take on it. The image is the ''Marvelous Mum'' from Kraftin' Kimmie - Superheroes Collection. The papers are from Bo Bunny-''Sweet Tooth ''Collection and the embellishments are made using Die-namics.

Thank you for stopping by and the nice comments and see you next Sunday. Until then have a great week.

Just for you

Hi ladies, I hope you're doing fine.
I've made this card for an acquaintance who always asks me for Sylvia Zet cards and this is the image she likes the most. Her name is ''Suzi'', it's a ''Wee Stamp'' for Whimpsy Stamps and can be purchased at Quixotic Paperie. As always I've used my favourite dies -Die-namics- to embellish the card.
That's all from me for today, thank you for stopping by and see you next Sunday.

You make me smile

Hi ladies, today I have this card to share, made using a Sylvia Zet for SCACD stamp -''Friendship Ties'' and papers from a First Edition paper pad. The flowers are made using MFT Die-namics and the sentiment is from Magnolia. As embellishment I used Make it Crafty Lasercut Chipboard - the Fine Swirls set.
That's all from me for today, thanks again for stopping by and have great week, see you next Sunday.

I'm here for you

Hi ladies, today I'd like to share this card, made using one of the new Uptown Girls stamps by Stamping Bella, and this one is called ''Molly makes a Detour''.

I've used also some awesome Make it Crafty Lasercut Chipboard - Fine Swirls and the flower is made using a My Favorite Things die.

That's all from me for today, thank you for stopping by and please meet me next Sunday. Until then, have a great week.

Goods...under the tree

Hi ladies, today I have these Flat Fold Gift Boxes to share, and please visit this blog post for the tutorial. They are very easy to make and the nicest thing about them is that you can send them in an envelope!!!!!!!!! Isn't this great? There is enough place inside for a little card where you can write down a few words.

I've used some Graphic 45 papers- ''Christmas Emporium'' and some Wooden Shapes -Reindeer Leaping and Snowman, such great alterable items, because you can paint them, draw on them, or use them as card toppers. Mine are paper-pieced. I've used also some cork and Make it Crafty Lasercut Chipboard -Snowflakes Stars, I really love them, perfect finishing touch for your Christmas cards!. The only thing I didn't have were good strong magnets, which should keep the boxes closed, so I've used paperclips instead. And I know, the photo's are bad, again I couldn't take better ones, it was such a dark cloudy day, unfortunately!

That's all from me for today, please meet me next Sunday, same time, same place.

Hugs,
Alina

Coffee and friends...

Hi ladies, it's nice to meet you again on QP Inspiration Blog. 

Today I have this card to share:

This is a Stamping Bella stamp which belongs to the Uptown Girls Collection -''Clarissa and Camille Share a Cafe'' and it comes with the matching sentiment, isn't this great? The card is on its way to a good friend which I haven't seen for a while; I hope to meet her soon and drink a cup of coffee together. I've used my Derwent pencils to colour the image and the papers were some scraps from ''My Mind's Eye''. The flowers are made using Die-namics.

That's all from me for today. See you next Sunday and until then have a great week.
Hugs,

Alina

Birthday Girl

Hi ladies, I'm sorry for being so late today!

But I have this card to share, which is on its way to the lovely Elaine (big hug!), whose birthday was two days ago, and yes, we still celebrate her!

I've used this gorgeous Kraftin' Kimmie ''Sarah Shopper'', a very new one, the papers are from Bo Bunny -''Sweet Tooth Collection'' - and I just love this colour combination, the flowers are made using two QuicKutz dies and the sentiment is from a MFT set. The leaves are made with a Marianne D Creatable - ''Open Flowers Trendy'' ( as you can see, 30% off at Quixotic Paperie!!!).

That's all from me for today. Thank you for stopping by, have a great week and see you next Sunday, same place!

Hugs,
Alina

You're hot stuff!!!

Hi ladies, it's nice to see you again and I'm glad I have a card to share.

I love this image, I would colour it again and again, so meet Kenny K's ''Buggin Drummer'' and I thought the sentiment would be perfect, it's from Elzybells, retired unfortunately. I've used Die-namics to make the music notes, QuicKuts dies to make the stars, the papers are from My Mind's Eye, an older collection and the brads are from stash, I'm sorry I don't have the package anymore.

I hope you like my card, wish you a great week, and see you next Sunday, same place, but a little bit earlier than today.

Hugs,
Alina
