Now it is almost New Year, the days are flying away and I've made a New Year's card that I want to show you.

Stamps: Lili of the Valley, (colored with Copics), and for the tones were one You Do stamp used.

This stamp, were heat embossed with Silver Pearl embossing pouder on a piece of Pinkpaislee paper.

I made the sentiment on my computer and cut it out with one Spellbinders Fancy Tag, the image were also cut with one Spellbinders Large Labels.

For the background I used one old vellum paper from my scrap box, it was sewed down with the sewing machine.

The silvery border is a piece of metal fabric, and the bow is made of textile coated wire.

Flowers: Petaloo

I think thats all from me today...

Time To Decorate At Home

Hi there...

I just have a fun project to share.

I saw a picture in a magazine of this kind of dress made of paper and I wanted to try to make a similar.

So this is probably my last Christmas project, I think.

The paper I used was a bit too stiff, it was difficult to make the folds of the skirt, it would have been better to use a thinner paper.

The hanger, I made of soft silver wire.

 

 

 

It is so beautiful, and doing well to hang in the Christmas tree or anywhere.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Hugs, Birgit

The Last Christmas Card ?

Hello bloggy friends!

I do not know, but this may be the last Christmas card this year.

And it is a tag card in lovely red, black and cream Christmas colors, wich I love.

For the first time this year I have picked up the sealing wax and made ​​a wax seal, it's so fun to do, so I just wonder why I have not done that before.

Papers: Basic Grey Jovial Paper Pad, Melissa Frances, Papirdesign

Santa: Crafty Individuals Miniatures "Merry Christmas"

Now I'll go out and see if I can find a Christmas tree to cut, it must be at least as good as last years.

Hugs, Birgit

Here I Come To Save The Day

Hi there....today I have a new card to show you.

And it's a wonderful friend you come to see. This wonderful image was as a free digital image earlier this fall and I saved it on my computer for future use, I did not think it was the right season for snowmen then.

I colored him with Copics and used Spellbinders Standard Cirkles and Floral Doily Motifs to cut him out. Papers: Echo Park Seasons Greetings.

I found the sentiment at Create with TLC and it were cut out with one Spellbinders Fancy Tag.

I cut a piece of cloth and placed it behind the tag, and pinned down both of them with a silver needle, which I also took on a gem.

For the flower I used a cup for ice chocolate (here in Sweden we make such sweets for Christmas). I pushed it out into a circle, and above it I placed first a paper flower and then a fabric lace that I wrinkled up, then another paper flower.

I have also used little Paper Pens, Rhinestone swirl and some other stuff from my stash.

Have a wonderful weekend, thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

A Christmas Decoration

Hello to you all in the middle of the Christmas preparations!

I got such a desire to make a small garland of tags, and here it is hinged and ready.

I'm sorry for the bad photos.

For my tags I have used the new colors Distress Inks. from Tim Holtz and some "old" colors for the stamping.

The images I have cut out from Crafty Individuals Miniatures "Merry Christmas".

For the rest, I have used a bit of everything from my scrap boxes.

This was a fun little project and the results can be seen at once where it hangs in my hallway.

Now, I wish you a wonderful rest of the day.

Hugs, Birgit

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Hi there...

Do you have time to take a look at my blog or are you busy with Christmas preparations?

If you have time, please check out. I will try to keep it short.

Today I want to share a wintry card with you I created for The Sweet Stop and some more challenges. They have a useful sketch this week.

I stamped the snowflake from Inkadinkado in Evergreen Bough Distress Ink. and colored it a little bit more with Copics. Then I added some Star Dust Stickles to the snowflake and Glossy Accents to the text.

The image were adhered over one Spellbinders Lattice Rectengles die cut.

Behind the stamped image glimpsed it a snowy spruce from a picture I found in my scrap box.

The sentiment is made on my computer.

I gave the punched out snowflake Glossy Accents and a lot of glitter.

GCWV Winter Wonder Stack papers was used for the background and the inside.

I also added lace, a beautiful string and some stitching.

That was probably all I think.

Now, I just want to wish everyone out there celebrating Lucia, eat lots of gingerbread!

Hugs, Birgit

Christmas Joy

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by today!

I´m here to share with you my latest christmas card.

I was inspired by Tim Holtz tag No. 4, unfortunately I have not exactly the same stuff as he has. I have used the ideas to a card instead.

I think it becomes cool when you place an image behind a cut out and fill the hole with Glossy Accents. In this case, a little angel image.

For the background paper and the stamped snowflakes I have used evergreen bough, faded jeans, iced spruce and broken china Distress Ink.

The white branch were stamped with Acrylic paint.

On one side I added a shelf paper and the punched out snowflake first got crackle accents and then a lot of glitter.

I finished of with red berries, white flower, green punched leaves, ribbon, pearl string, stickles and white pearl maker.

Thats all for today I think. Hope you have some wonderful days with Christmas preparations.

Hugs, Birgit

Can There Be Too Much Of A Good Thing?

Hi there, the days run away! Already December 6!

Todays card was inspired by the technique that was shown at Flourishes, but I had to make several attempts before I was fairly happy with the results. Yet it was not really good. I added a little glitter for more Christmas effect.

Round the edges I used white acrylic paint, and it was cut with Spellbinders Large Labels. 

The background was made with one Nellie Snellen corner die cut and papers from Echo Park Season´s Greetings Collection. I used the sketch over at Sketchy Colors.

The little tag I have taken from last year's Christmas cuts from Crafty Secrets.

I just have to tell, there have been some snow today, the first of the season actually.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit
